Captain Chaz Who are you talking about?

@@funnychimp7738 The....pro

*Technically* the original Tetris, the Soviet Elektronika 60 variant, does have that ability to instantly drop blocks to the bottom. But yes, the versions outside of the Soviet variants omitted that feature for the longest while.

​@@TKFTGuillotine It's been months but the reason why he isnt used to soft dropping either, is that in competitive classic Tetris, the pieces already move very rapidly as in competitions its the standard to start out at level 18 speed, at level 18 speed, blocks drop a row every 3 frames, and with methodical smart placement being key, it wouldnt be smart to shorten the already short time you have by using the pushdown. I want to say most competitive tetris players dont use soft drops or push down, with the exception of a few. Hope that cleared it up.

Trevor Martin is you soft drop things down on night speed it’ll lock easier if you accidentally hit the bottom

@@spuddie You would be right that outside of speedrun format, if a player regularly presses down in competition (I think ITZsharky does that), it's a notable trait and is usually done for psychological reasons, as the soft-drop bonuses are considered to be negligible in terms of points

Spectrum Holobyte's version and Microsoft's version did in fact have that.

This. The RNG is the main difference imo, and really changes the entire way you play the game. I actually wish there's a modern Tetris game that has that old randomizer back. I love NEStris but I can't get the right equipment to play it properly...

i used to play tetris in those 9999 in 1 as a kid, but after this video i kinda wanna play again, you have some recomandation on what should i get?

ch-ris127 b-but muh easy perfect cleaaaaars

QRnd So there aren't any straight ports of the classic code like there was for older PC systems?

John Francis Doe Nullpomino has loads of rulesets, one of them may be the one you're looking for. The NES one is there, for sure.

This is a great point!

So very true!

VR also allows your brain to focus your attention fully on to the task at hand without any distractions from you environment. (except the particles) This is actually an great example for the performance difference you can expect from the human brain when it isn't splitting resources as much.

Also very true. In fact that's where I thought he was going when he first started explaining his latency idea. I imagine all three are contributing factors.

100% I honestly thought they were going to say that before pointing out the refresh rate because I'm not even sure if this game is 120 FPS or if it just uses time warp to match the displays 120 Hz.

And the classic Tetris pro looks like he travelled time from the past. His mannerism, looks and knowledge of the modern Tetris just feels like he came from the past.

Mr3344555 its more like a pilot telling a renowned sea captain he's a bad pilot, tetris effect is a lot more similar to the modern tetris games than nes (srs,hold,7 bag), so when judging his skill at tetris effect,you should compare him to people who play modern tetris games,not NES tetris.

except he's not bad

To change a version of a game you are used to, except for rare exceptions, is like adjusting to a new world. There are different elements, new laws of physics you have to adapt to. His tetris was adapted to precision and foresight while modern tetris trains someone for reaction, timing, and flexibility. The two of these are such different play styles that it would be insulting to compare the two! it's like eating an apple and going "WAIT A SECOND!! THIS ISN'T MY CARROT!!" or having some nice soup and saying "THIS ISN'T CRUNCHY ENOUGH!!!" You can't see someone's skill, if you aren't applying the same rules.

No, it's like a passenger of a great pilot telling the renowned sea captain he's not agile enough.

Same here! I remember going to a bar once that had an NES and Tetris, and being shocked by how ridiculously hard it felt, as a guy who played a ton of Tetris DS

Wait, is GB Tetris not modern Tetris? That's the only one I've played

Kali Takumi Tetris on Gameboy is almost exactly the same as NES Tetris.

I found the old original Gameboy Tetris, to be much easier after playing Tetris the Grand Master. I've never played the NES version though. Just goes to show though that everyone is different.

I still have the GB version actually

blaarg got his first maxout after playing for 3 weeks, and he was pretty good with guideline

A good Tetris player doesn’t need any preview, in fact, I rarely ever looked at it unless I was looking for the long piece which did not appear often. It was also off entirely in certain instances. The drop is faster while pressing up, not instant but not really that slow. I never understood why people think playing Tetris faster means you are good at it. Modern Tetris seems to give you the pieces you need and a huge preview, where original Tetris you rarely got the piece you wanted, or got 6 of the same piece in a row which made the preview nearly irrelevant anyway. When modern Tetris players fail at original Tetris it isn’t because of speed or fumbling around, it’s because original Tetris is actually much harder because of the randomizer code. Which throws modern players off, I’ve personally seen them get frustrated, throw a tantrum, and say omg I can’t play this it’s giving me shit pieces. Noooo you were just spoiled before and now you are playing real Tetris lol.

@@Blink.M2Dev Get over yourself it's a puzzle game.

Check out the Japanese players Koryan and Greentea, they are Tetris Grandmasters and where able to translate their skills to classic Tetris pretty well. I mean they trained for months but skills do translate

@luminote you're the kind of guy, who makes fun of a guy, for having an, pretty valid, opinion.

LolyJr Does Things it depends

LolyJr Does Things it requires more reaction time same with modern but modern has very important techniques to learn. Though classic gets super fast and you need absolutely fast inputs and reaction time, which I find haeder

LolyJr Does Things well Tetris 99 is actually very different from modern. I see that you can get past level 9 but mainly Tetris 99 requires clean and fast building. Tafokints says the you should grind sprint or 40l until about 1:30 minutes at that point you will usually get into the top 20. But if you grind to around 40-59 seconds. You will be winning most of your Tetris 99 games

@@johnbob914 I actually just started playing a little very recently, after watching classic and modern pros playing. It looks very interesting and the community surrounding these games are so warm.

Unfortunately for me, I find the music (at least that song) to be God damn awful. So I'll probably skip getting this game to avoid the cringe. Music is a big part of the gaming experience for me, so turning the music off isn't an option.

Yea I played Tetris on PS4, the one that came out and had online issues LOL and I was terrible at it because I'm used to gameboy color Tetris. Tetris Effect I got the hang of quickly though because it's better in VR. I feel like on a flat screen it's harder to play because you don't see the whole screen as easily as with a gameboy or VR headset on.

@@HugoStiglitz88 Tetris on game boy color was tha bomb!! played it it till my neck hurted, lol

Lol

fatal85 tetris effect is,by all intensive purpouses "one of those games" (srs,hold,7 bag)

As long as it's Tetris and I don't have to play it fast. It's fine by me. I have no problem with those versions. Its just I would never play Tetris as fast as you see people playing those versions. It was just nice seeing what the game plays like from a guy who plays it at a speed I would also play it. If it was a guy slamming them down super fast I dont know if I would have even watched the whole video. I like the Lumines games so seeing the cool effects and new music also excites me.

fatal85 you don't have to play most modern tetris games fast. The only ones where you have to play fast are the tetris grandmaster games

Good to know. I had no idea. This is coming out soon so I may as well wait. Otherwise I'd be picking up the Puyo version from the steam sale.

Totally agree. Classic tetris is much better.

Dude you gotta start playing tetris if you're so passionate

@@svendinsvinderlin4569 I like playing tetris and I wanna get into tetris competitively (specifically I wanna get into modern vs tetris) but every time I wanna play I get absolutely bodied even by beginners I have less than 1 pps(pieces per second) on average and its just kinda like this loop of "hey I should actually play tetris it is a fun game u know" -> "holy shit Im bad at this game" -> "nevermind I dont wanna play a game where I will always lose"

@@Tr0lliPop You'll be able to catch up for sure just by practicing in solo gamemodes. There are also different clients which are good for practicing. Nullpomino has tons of gamemodes for things like digging and combo'ing. On YT you can also find good videos about stacking and strategies specific to competitive tetris. Mainly you should play marathon or no-gravity endless modes, stacking with the side well like in NES or stacking with the 4-wide well + residue like you will in your competitive games. Think about as many previews as you can and try to build slow but efficient. The difference between slow and fast players is having experience and intuition on where to put the pieces. You can also learn finesse which will reduce the actual placement time to almost nothing. Then, mix in practicing 40 line sprint or just playing marathon with high PPS. If you play quite a bit, you can probably get to 1.5 PPS in a month. Faster on games like tetrio or jstris where you can customise DAS and ARR.

@@Jerryfan271 Thanks for the tips, this really made my day ^v^ btw, I noticed that I actually play faster without finesse since in my case playing with finesse requires me to stop for an entire second not doing anything on each piece to remember what the finesse for that piece was lmao

check out some tetrio 40 line sprints if you wanna see how fast modern tetris is. it's nuts

@@babylonian Pretty sure he'd obliterate them. Once you are so used to play in harder mode, you can pretty much play an easier version with little adjusting. Reverse it... and it'll feel like hell.
