NES TETRIS - First Ever Level 31 - 9/24/2018

[@aSongScout]

What a moment, continually pushing boundaries on a 29-year-old game. Congrats again! Onto the CTWC!

I've not been keeping up as much as I'd like with the Tetris community, but was just told by a very kind interviewer from Sweden that you had achieved this, and he sent me the link. SO COOL! Congratulations! This was the kind of thing I have been hoping to see for a long time, and it's inspiring to see such an incredible talent and new levels of challenge answered in style. Your name deserves to be in the titan-sphere with the greats! Jonas, Koryan, Alex Kerr (Alexicutioner!), Harry Hong, Ben Mullen, Trey Harrison, Robin Mihara, we have another spectacular player in the realm! Best, Thor

[@JdMfX_]

Thor Aackerlund! Thank you so much! If it wasn’t for you, I don’t think people would have a clue about Hypertapping. Koryan as well, for being able to stream his gameplay and hands. Ah, I was sort of bummed out not seeing you at this last CTWC. I was hoping for a picture with the hypertappers haha. Thanks for viewing, hope to see you soon.

[@mi4real771]

Also, Thor, saw your first L30 ever, it was crystal clear. Respect, on OG hardware too.

So true. I was like "okay this is over now" haha. That was just so absolutely beautiful RNG :D

[@Mike-nf6nf]

I heard the reason you deleted your level 32 (yes, thirty TWO, people!) video is because you were swearing in it. It's easy to edit the swearing out in an audio editor, but just mute those parts, instead of adding an annoying beep. You really need to upload it again, as I'm not aware of anyone else achieving such an amazing feat! You may be the only person on the planet who has reached level 32 on video.

After your big win, I hope to see this channel grow, congrats

[@biggiemac42]

This video was my inspiration to start playing nes tetris. Today, I finally beat the mark you set here! I got 321 lines, level 32 from a 9 start. I know I'm in the company of nearly a hundred others now, but it is a great feeling to be part of how much better the community is at this game now.

[@treatwomenright33]

Dude you got bailed out so hard on 27, the gods looked upon this game and smiled. Gg, bro

[@TheXev]

It's true. I was watching this and wondering how he got saved there at first... then realized he had bad RGEN on I blocks earlier in the game. The God's really shined giving you that kind of madonna run right there and making up for the bad I block ratio earlier.

[@veerooz]

Nice, you beat Howard.

[@reynaldocoloma5615]

Insane... I have no words.

[@lanceknightmare]

My all time highest level was low to mid twenties. My all time score was 187,000 points. Game, tetris and dr. mario for the snes. My recent highest scores in the last three months was 199 lines level 19 in levels. My highest recent score was 146,000 points. Generally, I tend to get my highest point scores. When I fall on level 14. Though, my playthroughs that last to a higher level. Are usually lower in score.

[@andrenowaczek4909]

Joseph! You have to be the first person to max out PAL Tetris!

[@BotzaBrand]

The Kid’s just getting warmed up. Outstanding.

[@nitronamous]

Congrats on the world championship! Very impressive match young man I was pulling for you to dethrone the raining champ!

[@blazingscore004]

I've found your match against Jonas in the CTWC channel, and my goodness you're such an amazing player! I rarely watch tetris tourneys let alone play any Tetris (and Im not so good at it) and seeing such intense plays really makes me feel beyond impressed. Keep up the amazing work and I would love to see more of you in the tournaments! :D That being said, you just earned a sub!

[@PrincessEev]

Holy shit. I would've figured that Level 31 and on would've been reached already, really, if anyone asked me before today. I mean, just considering how this game is, what, three decades old - and God, the crazy stuff I've seen people pull on Tetris Grandmaster stuff. I guess that's just a testament to how legendary this feat is. Amazing stuff, man. *continues piddling about around Level 10 or so* ;-;

[@Dergn]

That is because in Tetris Grandmaster the repeat rate for sideways movement is not only far higher but also they do not instalock upon falling onto another piece and can be slided side to side for quite a while. This makes for a faster looking gameplay as the falling speed is effectively infinite in grandmaster.

[@user-br8jc8tf1p]

I just stumbled onto you tonight and I know nothing about Tetris. I'm already enraptured. Your story is amazing. Consider me a huge fan!

[@JayAyers]

Congratulations on your CTWC title! I gave a standing ovation from my living room.

[@JungleCrook]

great job man thank you for opening this door ive been saying for over a year this is going to be normal one day but you just showed that's almost a certainty with how easily you did this or at least made it look easy and kept it all the way down until that bearlyyyy misdrop shit without that you could kept going for who knows how long

[@LittleRainGames]

I think he cheated. Either using a special controller that hyper-hypertaps or something else. (I could make a controller that does that, not hard at all)

[@flibben]

Congrats, well done!

[@OddieASDF]

You made it look so easy, damn.

[@BraneyesGaming]

Oh nice job dude, those Tetris blocks go insanely fast at level 31, that is amazing

[@William5000000]

Technically, level 31 is the highest you can reach. It's the highest level in the Super NES version ("Tetris & Dr. Mario").

[@jan_asuli]

nah, i bet he could go for 32+ if he gets really lucky with some RNG and keeps that board clean. the levels after 31 are the same thing as 31, because the blocks can't get any faster.

[@UnreliableUsername]

How is that possible!? Congrats on becoming world champ btw!

[@gairisiuil]

6:17 4 lonely purple minos? good stuff 6:27 '''burnt out''' 9:24 when you abandoned that tspin, the T you wanted literally showed up in the next directly after. Bad luck there man :P 10:00 Is that an NES tetris almost-perfect clear? Nice one. 11:37 that's a construction I've never seen. 12:40 Yeah! Nice! But them misdrops after

[@ARockyRock]

Next do, "First to play for so long that Tetris crashes"

[@stevenhibbert694]

Impressive most impressive

[@鏖魔キリン]

why hasn't this been done before? it looked slower than grand master, or is there some arbitrary limit that i am unaware of?

[@iohfr]

In grandmaster, When a piece touches the ground/stack, it doesn't lock down immediately, making it playable even when pieces insta drop to the bottom. In nes tetris, pieces have no delay like this and lock the second they touch the ground/stack as seen at 12:40 when the s piece gets caught on the edge. This makes it significantly more difficult.

[@鏖魔キリン]

i see, thank you. been a hot minute since i played nes tetris so i forgot i guess. but yeah, thanks for clearing it up.

[@BaconSenpai]

Don't forget also you need to mash the D-Pad mario party button mash style to move the pieces fast enough
