A 1989 TETRIS Expert Plays TETRIS EFFECT for the First Time 

Before you ask "What did Trey think of TETRIS EFFECT?" or "Why does he play SO SLOW?", here's a second video where we answer those questions. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0j_fp5L8Si8.html

*Put on Headset. Starts to play better* "What is he doing?" "He's beginning to believe" *Gets Decahexatris* "He is the ONE"

He just went from "what button starts the game ?" To reaching a world record in less than an hour

6:36 Their Explanation: "The latency on the goggles is a lot lower." The TRUE Explanation: TREY ENTERED THE TETRIS REALM

I love how in 7:21 you can see how he hesitates to use the l to form a tetris, and decides to go all in for decahexatris

Once he put that VR headset on... ＨΞ ＢΞＣΛＭΞ ＴΞＴＲＩＳ

Trey: where's the start button? Also Trey: *gets first decahexatris*

“Headphones for your eyes” *The best explanation*

Anyone notice he didn't just get a 16 but actually got a 17 line clear?

"Wait guys, how do you play?" Trey has drawn first blood! Trey is on a killing spree! Trey is on a rampage! Trey is unstoppable! Trey is dominating! Trey is godlike! "Don't guys, I figured it out."

"Where's the start button?" GOOD QUESTION.

That “flow state” is really fucking crazy. I’ve only had while playing Tetris. When it happens to me it’s like an athlete that is in the “zone”. You just start playing without thinking and it feels like there is nothing else other then the game. It’s a really crazy feeling.

Man, as a pro it must have been so refreshing to see the game you mastered receive a complete makeover, music update, visuals, mechanics, on a way that fells respectful and loving to the original

"Where's the start button?" *_SKY ROCKETS TO THE 1ST IN LEADERBOARD_*

"wheres the start button" *proceeds to destroy leaderboards*

What's interesting is that Tetris Effect added Classic Mode as part of the Connected update. This is meant to emulate the feel and gameplay of the NES title. I'd be interested to see Trey return and see it himself.

Decahexatrix was my childhood fantasy

“Decahexatris has zero google publications” Here we go again...

I read this as *"A 1989 TETRIS Expert Plays TETRIS for the first time"* I was so confused

"what's this power??" "This is... Autonomous Ultra Instinct."

“VR is headphones for your eyes” - Nick Robinson, 2018

“Nobody cared who I was till I put on the headset”

This is indirectly a very good ad for PlayStation VR

Gonna be honest, for somw reason this is one of my favorite videos on youtube. I've watched it at least three times

shout outs to this video for getting me into tetris 5 years ago. ive met so many new friends through tetris and now gone to 3 different lan events. thanks for making this masterpiece of a video.

"Decahexatris" sounds as smooth as achieving one

**Plays the latest version of Tetris for the first time** **First person to reach a Decahexatris**

"retired tetris king proves that he can still be a champion"

Connected Forever IS the theme song to Tetric Effect for me, and to hear this guy say "I've never heard something like this" while its playing and he's doing the decahexatris its magical.

My theory is that he performed better with vr because you can't see anything else other thn the game. Less pressure & more focus is the result.

I never thought i'd be so intrigued by a Tetris video

That “zone” feeling you’re speaking of is amazing with this game. Best soundtrack gameplay integration I’ve ever experienced during any video game. If you don’t have a quality set of speakers or better yet headphones while playing this game you’re sorely missing out.

The fact that they have footage of 13 yr old Trey is just amazing!

“We can stop now” Had me rolling.

"A tetris is pretty much the highest accomplishment you can strive for" Back-to-back triple t-spin: *sad noises*

The chimes when he reaches the top still give me chills

This guy: dexahexatris Ultimatris: pathetic

Decahexatris: “the coveted Tetris milestone” Perfectris: am I a joke to you

Normal Tetris effect: *Does alright* VR Tetris Effect: *Becomes a god*

I wanna share something: When I was a teenager, I used to play a specific Tetris version called "Tetris Cascade" (2003) on my Motorola flip phone. It's basically Tetris with gravity. So if you would have hole below your soon-to-be-cleared line and a tetrimino placed above said line, it can fall into that hole after clearing and create another finished line. That way I could do 12 lines in one go. Very satisfying. Also I would do symmetric builds with a lot of those fall-in-holes up till the top of the window, and then activate that cascade. Oddly satisfying to watch the tetriminoes fall symmetrically until everything got cleared till the bottom. I loved that so much. More than classic Tetris. I still have the software copy on my PC but nothing to run it on. I miss it to this day.

Trey: "new to the game and controllers" Also Trey: "became a master in under a few minutes"

I wanna see him play Tetris 99

*"They instead just kinda used the VR Headset as Headphones for the Eye"* Best Quote I ever Heard

Awesome to see a legendary Tetris master experience this fun and beautiful version of Tetris. PSA, check out the dynamic theme for this game!

I remember seeing this video before I really got into Tetris and being amazed and now that I've played a lot of Tetris Effect this seems so simple now. It's wild how much it puts into perspective how much better I am now. I'd be really interested to see a follow-up on the 20+ line clears now that Kirby managed to get 23.

_"Headphones for your eyes"_ is one of the greatest descriptions of VR I've ever heard

Don't tell this guy about the new Tetris Battle Royale, he'll break the game

ngl its hard to put it in words but when he put that vr on and started playing like a god i could feel the rush thats fast but also precise or calculated. Or maybe id just say i felt the zone atmosphere

Hopefully Nick has the chance to meet Blue Scuti, the first Tetris speedrunner who “technically” beat Tetris for over 35 years for the future.

RU-vid's algorithm recommends something good for once

When he asked to play VR Tetris and you could just hear the excitement in his voice, it was so cute I wanted to die

You really help narrate and contexulizd the story! I love this video

This was a really cool video, watched from start to finish. Gameplay, commentary, all fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.

"Headphones for your eyes". That is a brilliantly apt analogy. The VR marketing departments should snatch that up immediately.

I never, ever thought I would say this. But God bless the youtube algorithm's recommendations. Normally, I would never have seen this.

07:43 Trey: Za warudo! Trey: 12 lines left, 8 lines left, 4 lines left, 2 lines left, 1 line left, Trey: And time will move once more 08:01

Some people dream of living in Matrix. This guy just lived in Tetris.

This was in my recommendeed...for no reason... But I do not regret watching. Well made entertaining video

That decahexatris part was so intense

just wanted to come back 3 years later to say thanks. this video is pretty much the reason I got in to tetris

Hearing Jonas caught me off guard. :') Got me all teary-eyed. RIP a Tetris legend.

A god at Tetris. Puts on VR to play Tetris: Goes Ultra instinct in Tetris. Fantastic.

He went from feeling like Captain America being defrosted from ice 66 years later. To being Thanos with all six Infinity Stones.

I’ve watched this vid 3 times already. It’s just so fun to watch.

Tetris Effect is SUCH an underrated game. I just spent about 6 hours straight with my Soundsystem cranked up, speakers on either side of my monitor, and 2000W Infinity subwoofer in the corner across the room just killin it. sooooo much fun and super addictive. I'll be trying multiplayer soon, which sounds like a total blast. I've been playing Tetris since Gameboy and they really outdid themselves on this one. the amount of care and attention to detail in this game leads me to believe that the devs ACTUALLY LIKE TETRIS. imagine that. Anyhoo, highly recommend this game. 9.5/10 easily and it is rather inexpensive at that. goes on sale on Steam pretty regularly, too. 😎😎😎

"Where's the Start button" Lol, dude grabbed the PS4 controller and 10 seconds later he already created a retro meme XD

Wow, RU-vid is actually recommending good content for once?

This video started me down a path of both getting very excited for a indirect sequel to my previous fan puzzle game (Lumines on psp), and even more unexpectedly binging the crazy entertaining 2018 Tetris world championship (so great!). Thanks for this odd cross section that I didn't kniw id ever get into!

I have watched this video so many times and I never get tired of it

Nintendo hosting a huge Tetris competition is basically a damn E-Sports event. They were ahead of their time :-)

You should make a follow up with Tetris 99

Headphones for your eyes... That is a pretty good description of the similarities between light and sound: both are waves that travel through our senses😁👌👌👌👌

Describing a VR headset as "headphones for your eyes" is the best description I've ever heard

“Allowing you, for the first time in Tetris history, to clear more than 4 lines at once.” *sad Puyo puyo Tetris noises*

Show me the battle royale **Fortnite** I said the real battle royale **Apex** I said the real battle royale **Tetris 99** Perfection

This video reinvigorated my joy of Tetris, and also helped me make a great purchase for my switch.

The music and the build up is so beautiful, I was getting chills while watching XD

I don't even play Tetris but this was very good journalism. In 10 minutes you not only captured the history and nostalgia of Tetris and it's professional scene (which I had no idea of) but also painted your story in an earnest, captivating, and beautiful way. Bravo.

After playing a single version of tetris for 30 years many people would have had nothing but petty criticism for every aspect of the new game that defied their expectations or put them outside of their comfort zone. Watching the world's greatest player pick up a completely foreign controller, rapidly adapt and proceed to eagerly flog those blocks out of existence is both a testament to his freakish talent and love for the game as well as the stunning execution of design realized by the games developers. You've done a beautiful thing by introducing the classic tetris champ to the next generation of the game he loves so much. Much respect to you for taking this great idea for a video, making it a reality and sharing it with all of us. 👌

Never thought watching someone play Tetris would be so breathtaking to me lol. Literally held my breath watching him get the decahexatris. Really cool stuff!

That moment with the dodecahectrix, sorry if I spell it wrong, was so beautiful, made me shed a tear.

His obvious love for this game and the excitement in his voice when he asked about vr was so fucking adorable...

The guy is a legend! and I'm glad that even years or decades after, tetris is still tetris ... But more beautiful

I remember this video when the algorithm first showed it to me a couple years ago. Love that it pops back up every now and then. Very cool video!

This was an amazing micro documentary. Thank you for this

The year is 20XX, Every Tetris player at the Tetris Championship uses a Playstation VR Headset with Tetris Effect. Competition has exceeded skill level and is instead based on the latency of their respective VR headsets.

This was beautiful to watch a human enter flow state

Headphones for your eyes. Thank you for that. I’ve been developing for VR since 2016 and I’ve never heard or thought about it like that before.

Speaking as someone who also plays Tetris at an obscenely high level, it was 100% the latency. I don’t like playing Tetris Effect because it feels like playing Tetris through tar. It feels so slow and I get so frustrated because I’m constantly hard-dropping minos one block off. I never use the zone feature in effects when I played it. Dodecatris is a new goal however.

I was gonna make a "Boom.Tetris for Jeff" joke, but one was already made in the first minute of the video.

Decahexatris? Now I know what I'll name my first born.

This game genuinely looks like one of the greatest masterpieces in gaming history.

The video that made me discover the game and your channel

"headphones for your eyes" i have never though of vr that way so cool!

genuinely one of the best unsolicited recommends youtube has ever given me. great, interesting, and surprisingly wholesome video.

Huge respect for the tetris community. I went heavy into the tetris tournament game for facebook (i know it's technically not a real tetris) and many people from the community gave me tips and i ended up battling against top players and i won a few times. Moral of the story is that Tetris players are non toxic and really helpful.

That was so awesome! Great share!

"how do i play" **Proceeds to get first ever decahexatris** "nvm i figured it out"

I wanna see this guy play Tetris 99

Four years later and I still love this video
