Who's the Greatest Modern TETRIS Player of all time

[@aftermoon639]

Part of what made ajanba seem so untouchable was he would be extremely trolly one second and turn it on the next. He did this multiple times: Jstris Cup (vs Wumbo), TF Finale (vs whip), the aforementioned GGC (vs rideru) and a few i dont remember off the top of my head (i think Tetrio Cup 5 losers run). it really felt like he could just press the win button and there was nothing his opponent could do.

Dude, I've been searching for something like this ever since I started playing modern Tetris! I pretty much had to just skim reddit for random people's thoughts up until now. Great video as expected, Kez

[@doku7335]

I wonder how the slow tetris side (PPT, PPT2, T99) developed, too. With Amemiya's win streak and people who compete there.

[@NguyenPham-l1f]

hebomai, amemiya, kazu, flare, akashirobo all in order

[@bennxt]

I think there was a brief period of time when jkwon was better than ajanba but overall ajanba's legacy is simply incredible

[@TheRealDuosion]

i think it's bennxt tbh

[@thegoldentiger]

it makes me jealous that this kez guy can exist and obliterate the tetrio content scene with godsent videos like this

Kez must be putting a lot of working into these videos. The 40 line sprint video and this one has been such great videos! Keep up the good work!

​@@creepercraftytT99 Yes. And currently one who I'm gonna be like despite being bad at tetris lol

[@keychera]

I want to mention akashirobo, the one that plays kazu not long ago and overwhelmed him Also talking about the capped tetris, the best players would shift to different people I think, like I never imagined diao getting sweep by kazu in that one tetris effect tournament, I thought the difference wouldn't be that far

[@flore_Z]

and overwhelmed him (in ppt2), because imo kazu is still the best in tec (cant wait for SQ1 to find out) japanese players themselves already talking about the new top2 era (akashirobo/daichan) instead of top6 era (new top2 + old top2 kazu flare + uyeshota + amemiya) for several months. but clearly this video is from western pov, so doesnt consider TOP (ajanba dominated and later diao), PPT (all japanese players play it) etc.

[@Klauskunze99]

as a TEC player I missed that perspective in this video. Do you know where I can see the past tournament results with akashirobo and kazu? where can I rewatch the games?

[@keychera]

@@Klauskunze99 I dont know if they have ever fight in a tournament matches, and I remember one the games of them when kazu was just playing in ppt ranked and randomly meets akashirobo, them kazu invites him to play some sets. It's quite random but there are some matches in kazu's latest livestream that starts around 6:00 (livestream march 17)

[@awesomeblossom5214]

same with flare/furea. People compare her and kazu a lot, but most agree she's more efficient rather than speedy, though she's more consistent

[@_quakeel1199]

Imagine if this guy tried tetrio, the world would never be the same

[@temisuzuame]

[@FT029]

really good video. never knew about YUIMETAL, their play looked so clean

[@markm717]

Excellent video, really enjoyed this one. Love learning more about Tetris History. Maybe covering the classic scene could be an idea for a future video? Maybe guide line only Tetris would be nice to see also (PPT, TE:C, T99, etc)

[@CosmicGabe]

classic scene coverage is being dominated by aGamescout currently, go check them out!

[@ZeroT28]

Jkwon was also legitimately the best player in the scene for a good 1-2 years before he dropped off the planet.

[@Tyuf_]

godfuckindamn this is the most entertaining tetris video I've ever watched, it's so engaging please give us more🙏🙏🙏

[@shocksword6847]

I love the bits of humor in the video. Documentary types of videos tend to get boring after like 5 minutes for me, but this one kept me thoroughly entertained.

[@lizardbyheart2817]

Kinda missing players like Amemiya (longest winning streak Edit: I mean his unbeaten streak of high level matches, not his on stream vs viewer streak) Kazu (Reaching to new levels) Furea/Flare (Skim T-spin vision like no other, also can't remember her losing in ppt long matches) Kazu and Furea are also top in other games than ppt.

[@johannes-diederik2538]

Those are the guideline tetris goats, not so much the modern tetris ones.

[@lizardbyheart2817]

@@johannes-diederik2538 Tetris Effect is modern Tetris and Guideline. You mean fast vs slow Tetris. Different category split. Modern Tetris is about 7 bag, SRS, T-spin bonus, vs mode rules.

[@flore_Z]

talking about ppt, amemiya was the best but not because his 1000+ streak, it's because he was unbeaten for 2-3 years before 2019. the winning streak project is just for streaming, he didnt challenge other top players, but waited for his followers (who were also great but far from the best) to challenge him. then kazu/flare era, and i believe for several months only kazu no.1 and now it's akashirobo/daichan era. for tec i think kazu is always the best from its release to today.

[@lizardbyheart2817]

@@flore_Z I was referencing the 2-3 years unbeaten as his winning streak. I actually didn't count his winning streak of what you mean or even knew it as something special given he didn't clash against strong players. Which also had a whole controversy surrounding it

[@aspergillusoryzae3722]

Great video organization and commentary, Kez! Succinct timeline and summary of each candidate's strengths.

[@OSW9]

Good video! I just wish that other slow tetris games were touched on more considering this was about all of modern tetris. If we included these games im sure kazu would give the throne of best player of all time some contention.

[@brilatas]

true, but I think this is more of a labelling issue. This is just for modern fast tetris games.

[@OSW9]

@@brilatas Exactly, which is kinda why i wish this was titled differently lol Perhaps it was simplified to best modern player for a more appealing title

[@ChronicalV]

@@OSW9 bc ppt is just jp dominated, this video will be more relevant to western viewers prob. but youre right

[@OSW9]

​@@ChronicalV In that case the video is miss-titled like i said above lol, you can't just disregard a game cause your region isn't winning. Anyways I understand why he wouldn't want to talk about the game or TE:C (he doesn't play either game to my knowledge) but at least change the title to modern fast tetris games like I said earlier
