5:00 btw the guy wearing the jacket is Alexi Pajitnov, the creator of Tetris.

You know what's even crazier? There are already two more game crashers (Fractal and Andy). Scuti will always be the first and as of writing this, he still holds the level record (The other two got the earliest game crash at level 155). The classic Tetris community is insane.

"please crash" "no gamer ever wants a crash" And than there's me on the occasion, hoping for a crash every now and then Also just watch the kid get a Guiness World Record

Btw Fractal plays with the controller upside down, tapping left to go right and right to go left

1:11 The gloves are used to reduce the friction between the hand and controller

Nowadays, people usually play on a modified ROM that actually doesn't crash. The crash fix is not intentional, though - the modified ROM changes the score display so you can actually keep track of your score past 999999 - before, you had to manually calculate your score. This change also happens to fix the crash. Blue Scuti deliberately used the original ROM to get the crash, but most records are set using the modified version. Alex Thatch, who was briefly mentioned in this video, was the first to 10 million points (actually got 16 million in that game... almost doubling the score WR). He, and probably some others, are currently trying for the Rebirth on this modified ROM. Starting from a higher level than normally possible, it's already been done. Starting from 18 or 19, he's gotten real close already. Honestly, it's going to happen sooner rather than later.

The tournament Fractal won against Sydnev, she (Sydnev) beat Scuti in the semifinals. So yeah, Scuti was in the tournament. It was his first world champion attendance and he reached the final 4!

I mean she is right, for the gaming scene 3-5 hours isn't much. It doesn't mean that 3-5 hours of intense physical and mental strain isn't impressive.

Beating this record on the original hardware means beating a 74% chance to crash the game when you clear a single line on level 157 :x

TETRIS

There are some Tetris tournaments hosted in Europe, not the world championship, but I think there is a decent amount.

very good reaction!

You should watch agamescout's recent video, Alex Thach reached level 235 a month ago

Im so happy classic tetris is getting regconition again, modern tetris still gonna be left in the dust tho 😅

I enjoyed the film (hopefully I'll get to rewatch it with you guys). 🎬
