I Set a World Record on the Weirdest Version of Tetris

Breaking down the World Record setting game between me and BeastinShen in the 2022 Hatris World Championship, the weirdest version of Tetris Alexey Pajitnov ever made.
I didn't know it when making the video, but thank you to Chris Bidwell for being the original inspiration for the Hatris tournament and working with Vince to make it a reality!

It's been too long. Getting back into the swing of making videos - wanted to quickly cover this amusing tetris variant, and I'll be back with more NES tetris content promptly!

[@aenstreams1998]

Awesome! Your videos are always so fun and entertaining...and missed!

[@chrisbidwell895]

I came up with this as an April Fool's prank a couple years ago. Vince and Alex were on board from the start. I can't thank Vince enough for helping me put it together. And I am also truly happy for Alex, who is an absoulte legend in this scene, getting another title to add to his resume.

[@aGameScout]

Oh wow, I didn't know it was your original idea! Thanks putting together the format and the great commentary!

[@d4ve19]

I used to play against Alex on fb and I'm very happy he finally got his world championship! Even if it was in a fake tetris... if it ends in tris it counts!

[@MylesTheGreat]

Doesn’t make a video on Tetris on a month and instead makes one on hatris gigachad

[@vibeyistired]

Gotta love scout

[@dungeonmaster3869]

refuses to elaborate leaves

[@Thelorme]

"The first competitive Hatris scene" The world is finally healing

[@Mentyr]

5:33 "Topping out"... I see what you did there.

[@Tetrasaurus_]

Say, if you were to win 3 of these games in a row, would that be known as a hat-trick?

[@SiljCBcnr]

You mean hat-hattrick? 🤔

[@codahighland]

Hatrisck?

[@Ryann9]

Hatrickic-hatrisickhatck trickris

[@MegaMonkeVr]

A HATRIS HAT TRICK

[@aner_bda]

Wow, this is actually a surprisingly complex game. I can see this taking off in the near future.

[@sirmaser]

Time to put 'hatris world record holder' on your resume.

[@aGameScout]

probably only valid for a few hours if foryst pops off later today... 😅

[@singsong2824]

i got to say, aGameScout can pull off a top hat. maybe it’s something about his beard idk

[@alecrutz6979]

the best thing about this isn't that there was a hatris tournament. it's that everyone is wearing a hat while playing the game XD

[@scottymagoo4025]

I particularly enjoy that the game gives the players enough time for a small celebration after landing a Hatris!

[@heaslyben]

Congrats! Hats off to you.

[@DevilishlyDutch]

When an april fools joke prompts a competitive scene, truly incredible

[@chrisbidwell895]

5:23 The evil mustache twril was pefect

[@Genjink]

Abraham Lincoln vs John Wilkes Booth in hatris is the most needed rematch in history

[@ind3x_spb]

Saw some streams at the time but hadn't given it much attention until now. Well, what a funny and entertaining time you got there! :D

[@reempe86]

Hatters gonna hat 😎

[@kitsumech]

Playing competively in video games, I love seeing your hand claps when you've been beat. It's very wholesome :)

[@jarroddobben]

4:56 "So Booth got the first blow, but Lincoln would fire back" incredible stuff here man

[@thesparxeffect9734]

One of my all time favorite puzzle games out there for the NES. Nice that it's still get some recognition, thank you for this video.

[@MrBroken030]

rofl the enthusiam in the match commentating part of the video is unmatched XD

[@wingfryer]

When the Hatris tournament was announced on the CTWC Instagram, I thought it was joke.

[@raph2550]

I agree, Hatris is surprisingly very addicive!

[@AmiSimp]

It looks like we have witnessed something that our boy, Scout can be a top player

[@fireyfan25]

Abraham Lincoln vs John Wilkes Booth made me laugh uncontrollably 😂😂😂😂

[@bendy1427]

When Tetris: pog When hatris: poggershat

[@allenbot]

I'm too excited for you to start making content! Hopefully the drive isn't about the views but the creativity. Looking forward to the future content :)

[@melodywawichi802]

7:25 i sin you for that dab, mr scout

[@aGameScout]

it was a meme tournament, I had to meme

[@beyshore_]

that was abe lincoln

[@ryanr27]

Seeing this, I kinda want this to be a standard thing, similar to Dr. Mario

[@noffpoppin]

Boom! Crowntris for Jeff

[@Dedicatedtolivinginthepast]

I saw the thubnail and said out loud NOOO HE DIDN'T GET A WORLD RECORD IN HATRIS and then I was the title and again said out loud OH WOW! HE DID OH MAN THIS WILL BE GOOD!

[@Trainorplus44]

Animals, close up, with a wide angle lens… WITH HATS! 😂 🎩 🧢 👒

[@airic21]

This is really cool I wouldve enjoyed seeing the whole thing

[@pikapika123]

Lincoln vs Booth got me good, LMAO!

[@RedStone576]

awesome video as always

[@IAmPancake]

The weirdest officially licensed version of Tetris I've seen has to be In-Flight Tetris (that's actually what it's called) You can only play in on the seat-back screens of airplanes of certain airlines and flights

[@vincentt199]

You can make a game of anything suspenseful and fun

[@JT-tz5hp]

This was oddly fun!

[@nycReaching]

🎩

[@kuhpunkt]

Hats off to you, Scout!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Kind of reminds me of that Klax game, though the helpers make it a bit easier (visuals definitely don't tho..). Also lmbo, ppl casually wearing a thousand hats as they play SuperVinlin

[@wait_whatt]

It's like tetris... with hats. What the heck. WHAT THE HECK

[@yis8fire]

Wow, i didn't know this game exist! Edit: i just finished the video, it's look like q fun game i would like to try in the future (maybe)

[@SmellieTeto]

Nice puyo puyo Tetris update

[@bendy1427]

To believe that after only 2 months the Hecc top 8 has already started

[@Josuh]

scout what have you done

[@birbwizard]

Goated run

[@WorldsBestHector]

Missed opportunity to add a “whoop” after you said Chris name at the end

[@galaxybiscuit]

You should start making exclusively hatris videos

[@aGameScout]

yepbear

[@beergood83]

Nah bro this is more like Dr Mario than Tetris

[@bendy1427]

Sorry about the world record Scout

[@vksasdgaming9472]

I'm certain value of this game's physical copies is about to skyrocket. It looks devious game.

[@btf_flotsam478]

With those names, of course he would win. I mean, look what happened when your namesakes met.

[@crudojoshuaricofort8795]

I remembered playing this game... Hella fun

[@rincasifutsume]

waiting for puyo puyo hatris effect: connected 2

[@JongleurJ10]

I've played a rather similar game called FaceTris as part of the Tetris Gold package for PC. You stack eyes, chin, hair etc of different faces in a similar way to Hatris and I never could really figure out how to play to any high level.

[@loganmatthews3672]

Dope

GGs

[@forgedinfaithfarmboys8092]

I wanna play this now

[@kjsmith1125]

I was playing Tetris effect yesterday and I matched up with you‼️ I was starstruck and had my worst game ever🥲

[@SmellieTeto]

Idk what to even say after watching the entire vid

[@FlamberTF2]

They should have called the Booth and Lincoln in the leaderboards

[@Xplayer007]

Dunkey was certainly ahat of his time.

[@Laika_in_Space]

🎩 I 🧢 absolutely 👒love 🎓 this ⛑

[@RobotProctor]

rolling when

[@aGameScout]

when I max

[@RobotProctor]

I made a bad joke. I meant to ask when will rolling enter hatris :)

[@ryanamburgy2791]

8:51 *678 vs 1.16*

[@goodshipzion]

Where can I watch the VOD of this tournament?

[@aGameScout]

Link in the description!

[@twinkle1831]

I wonder if there is one for wordtris

[@ChrisFORYST]

Well, coincidentally the event is the same day as the video has been published. :D

[@aGameScout]

my deadline for getting this video out was before the event! I almost didn't make it 😅

[@djGLCKR]

Wait, didn't Kitaru get classic GM in TGM3 already?

[@aGameScout]

He has, I should’ve rephrased it that he’s done accomplished a ton in the tgm series

[@Dedicatedtolivinginthepast]

Man, I need to get better at Palamedes before that scene blows up too

[@aGameScout]

it could happen :o

[@Dedicatedtolivinginthepast]

@@aGameScout Hey if Hatris of all things is building a competitive scene then I will say a much better game like Palamedes just flat out will get one eventually

[@rootkit0]

Is there any way to see all thegames somewhere? Twitch? I'm so curious :D

[@SiljCBcnr]

Best are the hats worn by all of the participants

[@ky-gp4sz]

It’s like yoshi on NES

[@vksasdgaming9472]

Wasn't it critters and egg-halves falling and you had to place lower half of egg as low as you could and then place critters on top before closing with upper half of egg? Additionally three same critters in a stack would also disappear and give points too.

[@gotoastal]

Now do Wario’s Woods

[@reempe86]

It is like yoshi cookies

[@KitaruTC]

Close, I think the game you might have in mind is called just "Yoshi" (or "Yoshi's Egg" in Japan, "Mario and Yoshi" in Europe). They do have a very similar column stacking/matching type of puzzle solving to them. :) Interestingly, I found that "Yoshi" was developed by Game Freak. I think I thought it was another Bullet-Proof Software game like "Hatris" and "Yoshi's Cookie" (the one with the grid of cookies that can be swapped horizontally/vertically) due to it being another Yoshi puzzle game and having Hatris-like mechanics.

[@Rubienlily]

what?

[@Jasmine-tw7dr]

Isn't shen x rank in tetrio

[@RilGames.]

i remember playing this game and was like "its just yoshis cookie" apparently i was very wrong

[@Lewisus_flame]

Speaking of world records went you posting tetris score world record video?

[@aGameScout]

it's in the works!

[@taavimetso9178]

Wtf is happening????

[@emon295]

I'm a Japanese hatris player. want to join. 私は日本のハットリスプレイヤーです。 参加したい。

[@grzegorzgk31]

Whats a horrible game :D

[@ChrisFORYST]

Jako wicemistrz świata, nie narzekam. :D

[@carlwhittaker7570]

Please stop titling your videos to make it seem like your going to do something when all your really going to do is talk about doing it. I actually thought you were going to play Hatris. There is nothing wrong with the video it's just misleading.

[@aGameScout]

I'm confused as to what is misleading about the title. For most of the video I did actually show myself playing Hatris, I'm just providing commentary on top of it to explain what's going on since the strategy can be confusing if one is unfamiliar with the game

[@carlwhittaker7570]

@@aGameScout I'm just saying "I Set a World Record on the Weirdest Version of Tetris" makes me think that's what I'll be seeing I would have known better if you said something like " How I set a world record on the weirdest version of Tetris"
