The Return of Tetris 99 - 30 Year Old Boomer [Episode 6]

[@G4m3fr34k94]

NL’s Tetris Lexicon: Wyatt: as in Wyatt Earp, a famous sharpshooter and best gun in the West, means getting targeted by a better player who sends insane amounts of garbage Rorschach Situation: Having lots of attackers in the beginning Opportunist: People who try to take advantage of those who are near KO Garbage Hole: A vertical gap that is left in order to clear lower lines Building a Summer Home in the Garbage Hole: Covering the top of the garbage hole Radio Silence: Stop talking because of pressure from attackers or we’re in the top 10 Madcatz’d: When your controller doesn’t listen to your inputs stemming from the Madcatz controller company who made garbage 3rd party controllers Compromise: Understanding that a saving piece won’t come til later so a piece must be put in a nonoptimal place Run your sets: Not worrying about others and just do you Caged Animal: Backed up like an animal when you are trying to survive when your tower is near the top of the screen Send em: Clearing lines (usually a tetris) to send garbage to other players Thanks for holding it for me: When a badgelord is a pretender and gives you your deserved badges Haunted Controller: When your controller takes over making you place a piece in a spot where you didn't want it to go Cultivate Aggression: building a high tower until you are in KO range so that opportunists while begin to target you

Rorschach Situation is a reference to the character's line: "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me". Meaning that though NL is being attacked by a lot of people, they're the ones who are in danger, not him. In short, I'd say it's when NL targets multiple attackers

@@ilusao1111 Or, maybe you could learn to use context clues to understand what he means. When people are typing something online, most tend to type as though they are talking to a friend. Have you never heard of an abbreviation? "Your" has become a kind of shorthand for "you're" online. Sure, it might not save a lot of time, but it is done commonly enough that anyone with half a brain could understand what he is trying to say.

These videos are so engaging. One of the few series where I feel the need to actively watch, rather than just listen to commentary. Also, his triumphs are so enthralling and rewarding witness.

[@nutkja]

Does NL still not realize that the tspin sound is coming from his own mini tspins?

[@gillesdeleuze7065]

I don't think he knows that mini tspins exist. Chat told him the tspin sound was coming from him in a stream ages ago, he seemed to assume that that meant that he was accidentally doing tspins, then he did a mini tspin near the top in a later game and called chat out for "lying" to him, and I think he assumed chat was still "messing with him" when they insisted that it still came from him, and I think he still believes it was a chat prank.

[@glassen75]

I tweeted it to him yesterday and he liked my tweet, so he is aware now.

@@quantumhornet211 If routinely finishing within the top 10 is not "good", then your definition of "good" is pretty warped. He's far from perfect, and far from the best players out there (even on youtube). But he is genuinely good at it.

Kachajal ​ by good im not talking about placements, yeah hes above average but hes not fast and doesnt do tspins and his placements are kinda meh, hes not bad but hes not that great. Also top 10 should be expected of an above average player like him

[@BenRHarsh]

Welcome back to another episode of "NL Doesn't Realize That Sending Isn't the Same as Defending". Your attackers can hold out so long because you're not sending them anything, you're just tying to clear our the garbage that THEY SENT TO YOU! That being said--keep it up, love the series.

[@Jabberwocky415]

WeatherManToBe Do you know what underrated means?

[@WeatherManToBe]

It appears we have some reading comp issues here. NL says underrated on by far the highest rated piece in the game. Underrated means it is rated below true value; impossible if at highest rating. Just because NL rates one way, doesn't mean the rest of the community does.

[@Taylor-xi1yl]

Without the proper Tetris music... literally unplayable (or unwatchable in our case)

[@ilusao1111]

Egg, I have a tip that I'd like for you to try if you ever end up finding this comment. Recently I watched a really good guy (51 KOs) doing this thing where he had a two blocks wide pillar on either side and then a hole in between the rest of the blocks. So, basically you'd be sending Tetrises the exact same way, but the hole would be in a different place. The pillar would be for problematic pieces, like the square shape or any other of the green, red, orange or dark blue pieces. So like that, you have a clean tidy tower on the left or right, and then to its opposite side, you'd have basically a garbage pile that would still have the length to create Tetrises.

[@JPK314]

I think you're talking about center 4-wide which is not a Tetris driven game style at all, instead focusing on combos by placing pieces 3-wide horizontally to clear one or two lines and maintain combo

[@ilusao1111]

@@JPK314 I didn't understand what you mean. I was talking in pillars. So basically it would be like this (o = blocks _ = blank spaces) oooooooo_oo oooooooo_oo oooooooo_oo oooooooo_oo And then between those you would put all of your long pieces.

[@quantumhornet211]

6, hole, then 3 is better because it allows tspin setups with both s and z pieces, and the tetrises can be placed better.

[@CamGarcia]

can someone explain what K.O and attackers means?

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

At the top of the board, there are choices you can make on who to target. Whoever you target gets your "trash", which is sent to them when you clear the pieces out - you "send them". You can choose to send trash to Randoms, Attackers (people randomly selecting you), Badges (people who have made many kills, earning them badges and "bonus damage" when they send trash) or KOs (people close to death). Imagine this being PUBG: When NL chooses "Attackers", it's like shooting back at someone shooting at you; when NL attacks KOs, it's like shredding someone crawling on the ground; when NL attacks badges, it's like shooting at someone with a killing streak and great gear ready for the picking.

[@futhington]

KOs means going for the players closest to death, attackers means sending garbage back to the players sending it to you.
