The finger movement looks very similar to how beginner classical guitar players do tremelo, playing one string very quickly over and over. It will be interesting to see if this tetris technique will evolve further to look more like guitar playing or even flamenco tremelo which has the pattern, index-> ring-> middle-> index-> thumb. Maybe even flip the controller over and strike it with your nails so it becomes like a rasgueado.

After stage 2 it becomes harder for us. Never pass stage 2 with him. He sucks. Git gud dad.

I wish he could have been able to try this, and been able to see what he was able to do with it. Maybe he could have even used it to reclaim his throne in the modern Tetris era. We'll never know.

Something that is kind of interesting to me about this, is how similar these techniques, and how they have progressed are with the techniques used in Competitive Minecraft. In Minecraft (before the combat update), the way you fight other players is to click your mouse a bunch of times to kill them. The slowest way is generally called "normal clicking", not exactly like just holding the button down in Tetris, but they both are the starting point to all the different techniques, but a competitive player in both of these games is still probably able to get by just using these. Then the next 'Level' in clicking/pressing techniques for both of these games would probably be "Jitter Clicking" in minecraft or "Hypertapping" in Tetris which is, quite literally, the exact same thing. The way both of these techniques are done by tensing your arm, and using the vibrtions to click/press the button. Both of these options are pretty widely used. Not quite the best, but harder to do than the previous techniques and again, a competitive player could still get by pretty well just by using this. Then we get to the next level, and the current final one for Tetris, which is "Rolling" or "Butterfly clicking" in Minecraft. These techniques are quite similar by how multiple fingers are used to gain more presses/clicks, the only difference, is because a Minecraft players mouse has to be on the table at all times and be used with one hand, players have to "Double click" which is essentially being able to click twice in seemingly one press to gain faster speeds. But other than that, they both have the same fundamentals, being dividing the work into multiple fingers. These are both pretty much well known as the skill ceilings for both competitive players (kind of) and can be pretty hard to get right, but increase click/press speeds exponentially. Now, "Rolling" is currently the best technique for getting high speeds in Tetris, but with Minecraft, you can still get faster, by using a technique called "Drag clicking" players have been able to click faster than ever by using friction to produce many, many, many clicks at a time. So what is so interesting to me about this, is that Minecraft players started prgressing these techniques years ago, and its cool how similarly the tetris community has been progressing getting faster speeds in their own game. Does this mean that the next level for tetris speeds is going to be some sort of "Drag Pressing" or something? I have no idea. (Of course I know that there a bunch of other niche techniques for both Minecraft and Tetris, but these are the main ones.) TLDR: The Tetris communities evolution of techniques to gain faster pressing is similar to how the Minecraft community, years ago progressed their own techniques to click faster.

@@musiquetoutterrain First number is the level, aka the speed. Second number is a characteristic of the B-type of tetris where it starts you off at higher heights with randomly generated garbage. The goal of B-type is to clear 25 lines while surviving the higher heights, and the second number can vary from 0 through 5. In this case I think it's 8 grid-cells high, but what's impressive is that he did it in level 29, the fastest speed(the dropped piece moves 1 gridcell down every frame).

I'm sure he knew that new techniques would be developed. He saw the level of competition in his final years, and that's what made him excited. That new players were playing such an old game, and raising the bar to heights that were never achieved before, and never even thought to be possible.

Oh god does this bring me back... we used to use rolling on Konami's Arcade Track and Field in '83-'84. Then as people got faster they started using a cheap comb between the two buttons with your off hand's middle finger on top and your ring and pointy finger on the bottom, then put that to the side of the first button so the comb would hold the first button down. You then rolled the second button through the comb lifting it off the first button as you hit the second, then springing back down to push the first button until you hit the second button again. You then ended up with expert rollers verses expert comb rollers. It is almost 40 years later and some things just don't change.

No kidding. Jonas was the best builder and strategist in CT, bar none. Not that other top guys like Joseph aren’t also good at it, Jonas was just incredible with his ability to build immaculate stacks, which is why he was so dominant in the early CTWC tourneys and why he was able to beat skilled Hypertappers like Koryan when the technique was developed. What held him back against Joseph is that Joseph was young enough to keep up the hypertaps and was a good strategist in his own right, which made Jonas’ DAS fall behind; and Jonas couldn’t hypertap due to his arthritis issues. Had Jonas been able to perfect a rolling technique with practice, he would have returned to the top spot because he’d be able to keep up with Joseph while having the edge in terms of build strats.

This reminds me of when rake strumming was developed in the Guitar Hero community. For a long time sections with 20 NPS strumming were considered hard, especially to do consistently, and the upper limit of how fast anyone could strum was like maybe 22-23 NPS in short bursts. Then rake strumming came along and players could overstrum long sections of 30 NPS.
