GG! Well-played! --------------------------------- For those who don't know the meaning of "不合格" in the thumbnail of this video, it means "unqualified".

[@spragetwang6317]

@Blaze SSBM Actually I can't speak Japanese, but I speak Mandarin. That's why I'm able to read those Mandarin characters in Japanese.

[@-Poka-]

@@spragetwang6317 woah, that's legit, Speak chinese but its actually makes even read Japanese with very clearly, okay.

[@Kylemsguy]

@@-Poka- Some kanji has different meaning in Chinese vs. Japanese, but often it's close enough to guess the meaning.

[@mikaothereal]

Yeah I speak mandarin so I know what that means

[@Yoshi100_Aus]

Ooooooh this makes 2 in one year!!! Didn't expect someone younger to snatch the title either, but this is super awesome to see, congratulations!!! Not even any old run either, you played it really brave with those COOL times... second half was super smooth and a lot of the roll was so clean too!! Really well played, congrats again!!!

[@MastermindAtWork]

16 and is the 14th player to beat TGM3?! Man, this gotta be a world record or something. Congrats on the dub.

[@probium2832]

I'm older than him and got GM but *not in exam form and only on NullpoMino* Exam form is too much for me for now, I only got M there and I cannot hope to get even MV

[@aGameScout]

Amazing!

[@Shy_Abi]

this guy just became the max verstappen of tetris

[@tangerine1680]

can find f1 no matter where I am on the internet

[@JonathanScarlet]

Came from Kevinddr's GM vid to this one. Very surprised and yet somehow not that surprised that you'd be one of the NES Tetris players to do this! It's three years later, but congrats all the same!

[@ITZsharky1]

Congrats Eric

[@Boukansha]

what did i accomplish when i was 16? nothing anyways, good job man... tgm is brutally hard

[@speedymatt1236]

Another legendary accomplishment worthy of a museum exhibit someday!

[@Checco105]

Great job on this completion! May I ask something, which one is the hardest mode on TGM3? And how many people have beaten it?

[@EricICX]

in terms of just putting one credit into the machine, shirase mode. It's not really well known how many people have cleared it, but it's probably under 200. the hardest thing in tgm3 is getting the GM grade, which requires you to get the GM grade 4 out of 7 times (not even knowing that you got it, because the game doesn't show it), and then do it once on command. It's something that requires a crazy amount of consistency, and there's like 40 people who have done it now

[@Checco105]

@@EricICX Wow! I had no idea there was such difficulty in a Tetris game, thank you so much for the information!

[@speedymatt1236]

There’s also such difficulty on OTHER Tetris games…

[@technospyform1578]

You forgot to mention the bonus 1.6 you get if you clear the credit roll

[@Kylemsguy]

I was so glued to the gameplay that I didn't even notice the annotations on the right side. Guess I'll have to watch it again :P

[@breadc.8522]

Amazing play! Congrats Eric!

[@balbar_b]

Congrats Eric :D

[@CinnaminionTGM]

the last time i saw a gameplay this clean i was watching KAN vods congrats dude!!

[@CheezTetris]

GG mate

[@jeffersontaylor6093]

GG Eric you're insane. How can i play TGM? I tried to look into it a while ago but i thought it only had arcade releases in japan? Maybe i didnt look hard enough

[@rodrigojre98]

there´s a way you can play in PC with MAME the first 2 and the third one I belive is based on some windows os so it can be played without emuluation kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHzEqJpmn89kjpY

[@hashiispep]

yar har

[@Hermaphroditious]

at least you can play tgm1 now on your system of choice. certainly not as tough as tgm3 but still a fun way to waste time. :)

[@VincentTassin]

Amazing ! Congratz Eric

[@fishactivation5087]

*Sixteen?!!* Dude, holy crap! I'm sixteen and I'm only at a 3 rank. I can't even go fast enough to go past level 500, _and_ my computer sucks so much that it only runs the game at around half speed.

[@agentbasey6865]

knew you had it coming. huge ggs.

[@RyanLockwood]

incredible job. How long have you played? And also where can I buy a legit version of TGM3? How does it work? Do you buy an arcade board that it comes installed on?

[@mr.gummie3472]

you can buy arcade boards but they can cost upwards of 1.2k so If you want a legit version I hope you dont mind a hole in your wallet

[@Sam_Hue]

This is the most brutal game of tertris.

[@tipnsunny2107]

What was your controller of choice? Or was this played on PCB?

[@wschmrdr]

Annotated with the times, makes my life easier. :P Congrats on earning the rank. :)

[@holifyre]

HECK YEAH ERIC!!!

[@kenyue_96]

Congratulations!

[@daniilde6801]

So you are grand tetris master now?

[@agentbasey6865]

this game really makes you _feel_ like Tetris: The Grand Master

[@speedymatt1236]

And it lives up to its reputation no matter how you treat it!

[@GGreenNeon]
