After Almost 5 Years, I Finally Maxed Out NES Tetris 

Love to see it. Congrats! -John

One of my SOs taught me Tetris on the NES, way back in '92. She was the best player I'd ever seen. She used a style that was kind of a cross between hyper-tapping and sorta-not-quite rolling; her lvl 19 starts were hard to even watch. She made it to 29 about 4 out of 10 games. When she passed, I inherited the cartridge, but I don't have a NES. It's fun watching the community here, now that I know it exists. Marie was ahead of the curve with her playstyle, apparently. I wonder how she would do if she could play today? Sorry for dumping in comments, but this video brings back some memories.

congrats, it was a long time coming

good gravy, you have come a long way. I think it is fitting that the channel is always so well made with your content, that includes your own tetris improvement journey, along with the highlights of the scene and the emerging news on tech, theory, everything. keep it up, and well deserved

So well deserved, and the extra Tetris was the icing on the cake. Grats Scout!

I was legit holding my breath in excitement in the last few levels even though I knew the outcome from the start. Didn't think I'd get so happy from seeing someone max out ever again. Congrats!

Looks like Christmas came early for someone. What an achievement. Congratulations Scout!

I'm sure that the video title immediately put a smile on all of our faces. This game was unbelievably impressive as your first maxout; pre-transition approached the cleanness of top-level gameplay and the numerous clutch survivals in post-transition had me on the edge of my seat throughout. You deserved all of it. Congratulations; You are a Tetris Master.

Congrats again David! That was a spectacular game to see you do to get your first maxout. Cheers to even more maxouts next year! :D

Heroic maxout! Way to represent the Tetris mortals these last years (the maxout is a far in the future goal for me); it's a real pleasure to watch you hit this milestone!

Congrats!! You are doing so much for the Tetris scene so I simply feel happy seeing you achieve this!

I feel like it was about three years ago when I found your videos and began my Tetris journey. So happy for you to have achieved this huge milestone! You've put in the time, so it's well earned! Gives me some hope too :)

I'm So ridiculously happy for you! Congrats! I know that post-first max feeling so well! It is amazing! Well done.

Congratulations!. Your pre-transition play and score were unbelievable. I especially liked how you didn’t give up in the second half. Despite some stumbles you pulled through and not only got a max out but a little something extra. You should be very proud of yourself. Well done!

Couldnt of happened to a better person. Congrats on the max and thank you for being the ambassador that youve become in the last 5+ years.

So many great moments. A 600K transition. That dig at around 150 lines and the dirty Tetris at around 190 lines. Congrats brother!

Well done, fantastic effort! Great to see you hold your nerve for those clutch recoveries.

Congrats David, what a spectacular game!! It's been awesome following your Tetris journey for the past 4 years and counting, it's such an inspiring example of dedication!

Congrats so much on the maxout!!! It’s been a long time coming and I’m genuinely proud! Good luck with the rolling and other Tetris plans in the future!

Well done!!! You held it together and brought the game back under control like a pro, this was amazing to watch. Really happy for you bro!!!

So proud of you!! You got me into tetris and it makes me incredibly happy to see you've finally reached the ultimate goal. Thanks and congrats :D

So glad to witness it live, massive GGs Scout!

Holy cow, Scout! I've been watching since your very first Tetris video and seeing your improvement each time and finally leading up to this is amazing! Great work! RIP Jonas.

Absolutely deserved it! Great job and congats from Finland!

We're all so glad you got the maxout!!! I'm glad I was there to witness

This makes me so happy!! Merry Christmas and good luck with rolling

Congrats dude!!!!!! So exciting!!

Congratulations! Thanks for the videos!

This was such a rollercoaster to watch. Anyone can play tetris when all is peachy but when things start going wrong that's what separates the amateurs from the pros. You really had to put in a good fight post transition to keep your pace. Well done!

What a fight that post transition was ! You are amazing, this was soo deserved

Im so glad u finally did it scout! Ive been a fan ever since ur 19-5 video dropped. You have come so far, and im glad you finally reached this awesome milestone. GG Scout! Keep going my man!

Scout, I found out about NES Tetris through your videos. I binged watched every tetris video you made when I started playing. Your "how to maxout" video ft. Sharky helped me understand the meaning of pace. I don't think I'll be as involved in the community without your efforts in producing tetris content. I am so happy to see you finally get that maxout! You deserved it so much and the whole community is proud of you 😄 GG Now its Rolling Revolution😈

So amazing to see someone accomplish such a huge goal after so much time and effort. Amazingly played and a big congratulations!!

Congrats! Your videos got me into watching competitive Tetris, and I'm planning on getting a NES, a CRT and a Tetris cartridge in the future and it's all due to your efforts.

Way to go man! Looking forward to seeing you rolling now. Congrats.

So proud of you! Been watching your channel forever, this is incredible!

Congratulations Scout! Well deserved. It's great to see your work pay off.

Congrats man! Great to see your progress over the years

Following the journey over the years, all for this moment. Amazing. Congrats Scout!! 🎉

Congrats man! Loved watching your channel since the beginning of your coverage. Killer game, great digs, and great clever placements (great double tuck). Well done man.

Well played dude, you've come a long way and this is well deserved! GG

I'm so glad to see you accomplish this. Your journey has been an inspiration.

Nice one! I loved that double tuck early on, and epic digging after the transition. More than luck on display!

Awesome stuff man, been rooting for you since the documentaries years ago. So happy you finally achieved it!

pogU scout. i still rmr gettin ur 2018 vid in my recommended. come a long long way. congrats! you one of the greats now.

YEAAAAAH! Congrats! That was such an exciting journey

Damn. I haven't been keeping up with the tetris community or played the game in a long time but I feel so glad for you that you finally got the maxout. I was a modern tetris player but you were definitely the person I watched most when it came to classic tetris related things. Congrats!

CONGRATS MY MAN!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Damn man. Way to go. You kept with it. So stressed when you tried the cheeky t spin but you pulled it off.

Man, big congrats, I know the feeling, well deserved

Aw yeah! Congrats man, all the hard work put in definitely shows!

Congratulations. It’s your channel that got me into watching competitive Tetris. So happy for your achievement

Awesome work! Congrats, David!

Oh hell yes! Congrats man!

This was a long time coming. Congratz

Congrats man!! Your play has come so far in the last couple years. Well earned!

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE I lost track of your channel for a while and now YOU GOT A MAX OUT!!! Great job dude, that dig was insane too

What an achievement, and what a run! Crazy moments happened, and you pulled it off at long last! Congrats Scout! 👏

HUGE congratulations scout, been following you for 3 years now and knew you would get it eventually. started actually playing NES Tetris around 3 months ago and my PB is 600k. been feeling kinda stuck with not a lot of improvement in my playing lately but this is a great inspiration.

Cool man! Congrats! Your Tetris was great!

Can't imagine wanting someone to hit that maxout goal more than you. Fantastic effort, well deserved man. Thanks for the great content and best of luck with the rolling.

Been waiting awhile for this to happen, congrats man and don’t stop here👍

GGs! I’ve been waiting for this ever since you posted your first progress video.

Wow it finally happened! Congrats!

Let's gooooo and you played it so well, too! Was awesome to watch

Wow. Some absolutely deadly digs there. I'm so happy to see someone that seemed to suck at Tetris like I do just a few short years ago and now you've beaten the game. GJ Scout.

Just watched your expo video and checking the rest out congrats on maxing budd. Good wholesome channel.

Congratulations man, awesome!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! You did it! Let's go!!

awesome job man way to keep grinding 💪

Congrats!!! Been watching you since your first video

Scout, your content is a wave of joy in a sea of sadness and petty squabbles, and I thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm with all of us.

Congrats!! 🎉

Welcome to the club brotha!! Congrats!

That was awesome dude GG!!!

Congratulations man! :)

Nice! All of that hard work payed off!

I LOVE how your game went to hell just after transition but you clutched through the dig, that was an INSPIRING game!

Awesome, congrats!

Congratulations. I know that feeling. Feels great.

Congrats! And thank you so much for everything you do!

Congrats man

Super proud of you Scout! Been following you for years. You've come a long way.

LESS GOOOO!!! Congrats man!

Congratulations Scout! You've been grinding hard for this, you deserve it! 💜 Now we'll zee what Scout rolling can do!

Great game Scout, congrats!

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

congratulations I always see your videos and I am impressed with how much passion you put into them.

Congrats!! This is inspiring. I've been playing NES Tetris since 2019 and also holding out switching to rolling until I can maxout with DAS. Still got a ways to go, I always seem to choke after 19 (usually somewhere in the mid 20s).

Congrats! 🎉

Very nice! Congrats.

Congratulations! Very very very well deserved after all the practice, and after all you've done for our community :D

Congratulations dude!

This video will encourage a lot of other people to stick with it! The legends of the game make maxouts look so easy... this video does a great job of showing just how much of a struggle it really is, especially with DAS. Congratulations!!!

GG man!! freaking amazing my guy!!!

congrats!! it’s been forever and you really deserve it

Congratulations! That was an amazing game, and the max is well deserved!
