Eric, you did an absolutely incredible job with this video. Having gotten into the scene around the time rolling was invented, I remember the absolute rollercoaster that was 2021-2022, where every single game played by you and other top players felt like it had the potential to suddenly shoot off into being WR. Thanks for allowing me to relive that, as well as documenting the early score WR history so well. Rest in peace Jonas, I love the inclusion of his quote at the end and I think you've followed it perfectly with this video. An amazing way to honor our little Tetris corner of the internet ❤

@liolio1230
@liolio1230 Жыл бұрын
In my opinion players are currently working on optimizing their level 29 speed scoring efficiency, rather than going for increasingly higher scores. At the moment scoring efficiency is more highly regarded, as the competitive scene has introduced a line cap which limits how long players can play - ending every game no sooner than level 40 (level 39 is now the double killscreen). This line cap forms a firm boundary for how long players can score. That in turn increases the value of a rollover for example (1.6 million), as confining your runway for achieving that score to only level 39 means that your efficiency must not devolve into singling and doubling (lining out). As a result players begin to score for tetrises on level 29 speed, which is incredibly difficult, highly rewarded and shows much greater skill, speed, awareness and resilience than playing for singles and doubles would. In conclusion, going for scores above the current WR solely depends on long games, since you can't possibly score that by level 39. Going for such a score wouldn't help players increase their skill in the current state of the competitive game, therefore it doesn't make sense for them to grind for that, as it would serve no purpose past holding the score WR.
@aGameScout
@aGameScout Жыл бұрын
Yeah, the line cap being added to most major events discouraged top rollers from practicing lineout strats. Even if that hadn’t happened though, Eric’s game kinda killed the category. Once the world record became more of an endurance test that a pure skill one, people lost interest in trying to break it. The fun of going for score WRs back in the day was trying to achieve that magical run with perfect efficiency, and it just isn’t the same as lining out for 1500+ lines.
@EricICX
@EricICX Жыл бұрын
for me, it's just that there is seemingly no reason to grind lineout when everyone else is practicing efficiency, just like gamescout said

Absolutely amazing video, great job! One aspect I missed and expected at the end though is the double kill screen, which some tournament now use to make sure games don’t go on forever. Seeing how multiple record were set during competitions, this new rule makes it so a lot of promising games will never be able to get close to the world record through no fault of the player. All in all I’m a proponent of the double kill screen, but for the world record progression it sucks.

It’s truly amazing how the scores evolved in such a short time! When will we ever reach the zenith? There’s actually one more big endurance milestone in between that we’re forgetting to talk about. And it’s beating level 219 hiding in the glitched colors that requires 810 total lines to be cleared before the next one after! It’s a gap from L90 lines to U00 lines just from level 219 to 220 alone. We apparently all need some practice to adapt on working with seemingly invisible colors! There’s probably a ROM hack somewhere and I do know of a very challenging boss fight in the game Tetris Effect: Connected somewhere that REALLY tests your adaptability in situations thrown against your will! If you don’t know who I am, I’m a scientist of searching for the hardest gaming accomplishments out there like the glitched colors! That’s why I’m spilling out all this valuable uncharted territory information to you all! Also at 1:06:33, what are the odds of seeing a score that’s EXACTLY 777,777 points!?

level 219 is wild, a level that's so broken and hidden so far into the game past a point it was supposed to be impossible. It's an interesting level but an annoyance to TAS because it just goes on and on and all you see is the same grey and green palette for 810 lines. I hope one day, someone does reach it, and one day, someone beats it.

I’ve been following (and a fan of) classic tetris for quite a few years and thought it would be really sick to see a comprehensive Summoning Salt-style world record progression on the game after I saw your 6.4 when it happened. After my community and I got our summoning salt video last december, I actually asked if he would ever consider making a classic tetris WR progression as one of his next videos. I’m glad you got to do that concept justice and I can tell how much work went into this. Good job man :]

1:04:45 Love your video thank you! I do have a small suggestion to make it even more enjoyable. When you tell us what is happening, do this a few seconds before it happens instead of exactly when it happens. See the tetris @ level 56 at the timestamp. Then we already know what to look for. This is especially useful when someone is listening while doing something else. We then know we have to look at the screen😊😘

Awesome video Mister👌 AGameScout couldn't have done it better. I even dare to say this is at least as good as any SummoningSalt video :D Big thumbs up and may the Good RNG always be with you!

Stellar video. The quality and depth of knowledge and detail in this video is excellent. You're WR score at the finale is God level gameplay, astonishing! Fine homage to Summoning Salt by using Home, and nice to see a tribute to Jonas too. R.I.P. Amazing stuff.

Great job encapsulating what it was like when these records happened. Even though I know what the WR is today, I still wooted seeing Joseph hit that first 1.3 million.

Wow. That is all i can say. The last few WRs were some of the most exciting and imoressive ever put to KZbin. How has SS nit done this video?? Kinda glad he didn't, though, so someone as passionate as you could. Gg

Very nice video! For me the score world record is still a nice thing in NES tetris but not as much as it was before, since it now involves stamina more than efficiency. Earliest rollover is more exciting for me. Still amazing to see people reach such high scores though. Also, I think moja should get some recognition (sorry if he was mentioned, I may have skipped some portions of the video), for being the guy who took hypertapping to a whole new level, by achieving a rollover, if I'm not mistaken.

the stuff moja has done is crazy honestly. Didn't mention him since I was only talking about overall records, but I'll definitely try to give him some recognition in other videos if I can.
