I Defeated NES Tetris. 

I am both surprised and not surprised that you would be a tetris nerd

Yeah, you don't expect John Green to watch a live tetris game 😂. Anyway congrats on your achievement!

John Green can lower drug prices on TB and get people to beat Tetris. This man is a lucky charm!

When world collide! Can't believe John Green is the top comment!

My claim to fame is that after the game ended and you gifted subs, I received one. - Elle

Yeah that was absolutely insane. Dude is recovering on killscreen in the top half, absolutely nuts

Underrated comment

Hey @lumbud84 Can you explain to me ? Blue Codi was the first one to defeat Tetris right ? but he achieved it on 157 Leve? which was the second possibility of defeating the game he missed the first one which here Fractal161 broke it ? So he's the fastest to defeat the game?

Once he gets back to bottom he utters "yea I can do it"... if he can survive that... why not? Absolutely unreal that this has been accomplished.

It was crazy but nothing beats EVO moment 37 in terms of clutch

@@Jason_Bover9000 Do you break down everything into winners and losers? Life should be about cooperation not competition.

You stooopid? He got it at a lower level, but he wasn't the first one.

​@@peecee1384life should be about healthy competition, sometimes in the form of cooperation

Congratulations! Crazy to witness history so early!

Congrats! I sadly came a few minutes to late to see it happen live.

So you clickbaited and lied. This is an unacceptable thing to do and I can’t believe you would use your platform and authority to promote such a heinous act. Shame. Unsubscribed

@@trapzone707 real!!

Cheers man! Glad I could help

Is it because he’s Asian? Racist

I more likely think everyone who beats Tetris will be remembered, as if beating it would be like winning the world championship. Like an hall of fame

​@@alessiomaffezzoli9143he already did that

@@alessiomaffezzoli9143 The Crash Club

​@@alessiomaffezzoli9143probably not my local news station did a story on the first guy along with the fact his dad died two days before I doubt any news stations will mention this guy

Yeah

And surely, Fractal IS the first speedrunner of Tetris, period. Maybe Scuti can be considered a speedrunner too since he was the first one, but remember, Fractal did clear the level in 155. Which is a quicker way to kill the game.

@@rutomedsThat’s too technical for non players of the game. Most will remember only the kid that beat Tetris.

Most news articles say "first" which is true

Duh

You mean crash%

Same haha

Same

same

Same!

Same

Oh so this is a new record apart from Scuti? I’m confused is it about who gets to a further level now? Or who gets it to crash before?

​​​​​​@@IAmJekaI believe 155 is the first level a crash state can be reached...after that there are various different crash's that can happen all the way up to level 255 and if a human could get that far and avoid all the crash states from level 155 to 255 the game actually resets and starts from the beginning! The Tetris community figured all this out by breaking down the game code and programming bots to do perfect runs...to say these guys are dedicated is an understatement... So this run here was trying to get the game to crash on the first possible place which is like 155...Scuti missed the first crash opportunity on his play and got the crash at level 157... No doubt these guys will come up will a bunch of new ways to keep pushing...like fastest to hit crash state or highest score before crash or see how many levels they can get through while avoiding the crash...

I think when he heard that Scuti was about to beat the game he stopped his current attempt at that time and excitingly went to watch Scuti beat Tetris. That showed me where his heart is that although being able to do it first is great he's still happy to witness the game to be beaten for the first time even though not by him 😊. The sportsmanship shown by high-level players of the game is surely nice to witness and the game finally being beaten would surely bring in new players in their journey to beat the game at the highest level 😮.

@@p0llk4t07thanks for sharing. Yea I did see a video of a guy explaining that and a ai code that got to level 255 (thought it was 257 but you may be right) were it crashed and then another RU-vid did the whole thing equation of when is it likely to crash. He also explain why what scuti did was so big but how others, including the guy in the video were watching now, had a big part on getting the technique and the opportunity for scuti to do what he did. With that being said, what I’m wondering now is what they’re aiming for. What makes them better? Lol

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@IAmJekait’s 255 because the levels are stored as an 8-bit integer, meaning the highest value it can hold is 255.

Lol

You didn’t have to do Lime Factory because it only has 1 frame in the game in this video

@@AAW_YT he was still technically in it lol

If you happen to not be familiar with these, these are the names of the Glitched Colors. Eventually, when going into Tetris long enough, you will encounter the Glitched Colors. These colors represent a stage where the color palette changes from the 10 already made into glitched ones. These colors were never meant to be in the game, and Nintendo never even saw it coming, since they never expected anyone to ever get this far. Dusk and Charcoal have ended runs that would've gotten further due to being dark and hard to tell the difference between the background.

​@@AAW_YTwait, so they don't have green or red or the ridiculously long level?

My heart was racing watching that happen. Can't even imagine how he kept it together.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

This is such a better response than all the ones claiming that crashing the game was commonplace in the 90s.

This dudes a grown adult, blue scuti is the only young fella and he’s number 1

@@Duomonnnnnthat doesn’t make his achievement any less impressive, crashing the game ain’t no easy task bud

True. Like Jonas once famously said: "the end game is beyond humanity's existence" We're witnessing some of the most significant history EVER being written.

​@@lennartjuhhThis is, without a doubt, the most important moment in human history.

@@definitelynotanAIchatbotnot just human history but the history of the universe

chill, its a pointless hobby

@@lennartjuhh Rolling should be used in more games other than Tetris (I am using rolling in the SNES version too!) and Track-and-Field.

A comment from gamescout and no reply's. let me change that

One day i hope to see the "rebirth scene" reached by a human. Fractal, Scuti, Eric, Andy, Dog, Alex and others, they are sure capable of it. Reaching rebirth scene would be the ultimate beating of tetris

​@@kingyodah5415the craziest thing about that is that you start to see wild crash states where just getting a certain piece on screen has a 75% chance of triggering it!

The crash That is actually 73.33%​@@p0llk4t07

Yea it’s probably tough to see something you worked so hard on get beaten by a literal 13 year old

@@Duomonnnnn so what about the age? They both came into the same era where rolling was discovered as technique, just at different ages, at the same time. Besides, Fractal didn't match the first person to beat it, he did it on an earlier level. Both of their successes didn't come by only their skill and determination. Others contributed to the knowledge base that came to make these situations happen.

@@Duomonnnnn I knew nothing about the competitive Tetris world before Scuti hit that Lock Screen. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since then, it’s that Tetris players are the skate boarders of the gaming world. Cool as heck, welcoming to newbies, and always ready to celebrate a friend’s success.

@@CivicFiberglassDoor another fractal fanboy cope 😂 dude it was never once about who got the “earliest” crash, that was a record made up by fractaltards after they realized he lost to a 13 year old, stop trying to make up random specific conditions to the record to make it seem like he’s the winner and take away from scutis achievement…. it was always about who got to kill screen first, blue scuti got first (winner) and fractal got second (loser), cope with it, if fractal wants to get a record he should start grinding for rebirth, if not he needs to bow down to king scuti and respect greatness, blue scuti is da 🐐, fractaltards seethe

@@LanceCSTCuddy lol do you even skate? That couldn’t be further from the truth, skaters kids are punks who hate newbies (especially scooter kids) coming to the park and are usually pretty uptight, I know because I am one lmao

I know right, and it fits thematically so well too!

For real

Really amazing, got me off guard

All Jonas...‽ 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤨

Me too. I felt it all over. It was like my first kiss. Like the first touch of a woman. Like that time I went outside. Truly amazing.

Cobalt, you haven't made a video about this yet. Chop chop

I can, at least for this guy. A life of living in his parent's basement, living off of them, being single, eating Cheetos, getting fat, and dying alone.

@@moon_orbit Aw come on, people still know who Buzz Aldrin is, kinda...

This thread forgetting that Fractal is the current world tournament champion. He's not some runner up.

@@KrovaSteam The thing is though that on TV worldwide they got Scuti as the one so yeah .. everyone will remember him for being the first

@@bestofmusicchannel but fractal is the better player and will get a higher score eventually, even though scuti did it first it wont last

Not to talk down on classic, but have you seen how fast the fastest players of modern tetris play? Thats my definition of Superhuman brain for tetris. I'm a modern tetris player but love watching Classic Tourneys, and watching classic tetris players achieve this type of stuff is beyond fascinating! Tetris4Ever!

​@@shinzo1455 Apples and oranges, bro. Totally different mechanics between the two versions of the game. It is INSANELY hard to play Classic Tetris at this speed.

@@shinzo1455 Classic Tetris is so much harder imo…

Tetris player and Rubrik player is SUPERHUMAN

wrr

I was looking for this comment, the 4 minute mile was as much a mental barrier as a physical one. Just like this

Exactly man! That's what came to my mind when I realised it took 34 years for one human to beat it and then in a few day 2 more people beat it! Shit!!! It's truly insane and spine chilling, how what we humans can achieve when we throw away the "impossible" from our minds. Damn 🎉❤

Go check out pixelandy he just cleared it as well today

Wow. It's truly amazing you witnessed this live. I hope you will cherish that memory for life!

where did you witnessed? discord?

@@flamesatdei we both watched it on youtube, and communicated through discord

@@flamesatdei no, I was literally sitting next to him. Amazing experience.

hes already been beaten by a 13 year old level 157 b4 it crashed

That's not saying much when it's this close, and they're both top tier players of tetris ​@@michaelhenry-hurst2787

This should be the now called the holy trinity or Triple Crown of classic Tetris, reserved for very few players

​@ttg7800 no the kid even says it and he says in the video "I became the second person "

@@BrndnNZT48 Fractal went for the 'earliest possible crash' which is a single line clear if you transition from lvl 154 to 155, and which he thus achieved in this run. Blue Scutti missed that single line transition during his game. He even realized that and said 'I missed it' went he did a 3 line clear to transition into lvl 155, which does not cause a crash. And a bit later he even said 'please crash' as he wasn't sure at which point the game could crash after that. So it's just a different achievement as Fractal is the first person to achieve the earliest, 'most efficient' type of crash.

Not sure how long that will take, at least on Vanilla NES Tetris. It gets progressively harder to avoid crashing the game during the last 100 levels of tetris, and it would be not only a test of skill and memorization, but it would also likely require a lot of RNG with the pieces. On the Modded version of Tetris most pros use, however, it's certainly a possibility, and I think we could see someone get it this year.

​@@MaxHumphreysMaxHumphreys according to the crash route, there are actually quite a few levels that are completely safe. One of which is 800 lines. To me it seems that the biggest challenge is switching from "singles will kill the game" which happens between 155-164 to "singles are the only safe line clear" for the remainder of the levels is the big challenge. The 800 lines level is luckily very playable. People have managed no hit runs of the entire soulsbourne series, which lasted 16 hours, given enough motivation, people will beat level 255. That said, if nobody attempts it, it'll take years for it to happen, but if Dog, Andy, Scuti and Fractal keep at it, I see it happening sooner, rather than later to be honest. The only thing stopping it, would be the community deciding that efficiency before 155 is the way to go and to let the game die intentionally at that point.

Its impossible bc all the squares are red

​@@janzwendelaar907I like how the 800 line level contrasts to the 255 hell level. 800 lines level has a green color pallette and gives you a lengthy grace period with no crashes, while 255 just tries to crash the game in every way possible with a red color pallette They're basically opposites

@@gdmathguyTo me it shows the art of programming. The choices someone made 34 years ago, led to three unique bugs happening after a certain point in time. First the normal colours are gone, then the memory goes wrong and then the amount of lines that consist a level get messed up. Yet throughout all of this, the game is still playable. Once you've cleared all these hurdles, finally the colour glitch and the crash glitch mash together into one final amalgamation of errors to try and stop you, before you get back to level 0 in complete silence and everything is back to normal.

Scuti scored more points so by your logic his game was not as efficient?

he went further which wasnt the point@@kacperzimowski4626

@@kacperzimowski4626 not as efficient in getting the game to crash (slower game crash)

​@@kacperzimowski4626Fastest and farthest are both worth celebrating calm down

efficient crash = crash at level 155 (aka first opportunity) dunno who came up with the terminology, it's been established prior, heard Fracal himself say "will go for efficient crash now". 🤷 the fact that Scuti almost fumbled his big chance at being the first, then securing it nonetheless, and at the last opportunity possible before topping out on level 157, and now Fractal getting the level 155 crash, it's all just part of a great story with more good stuff to come, enjoy! 😄 anyway, thanks for the comments everyone! 🙏​ @@kacperzimowski4626

was a fun time last night for sure!

Pixelandy just achieved as well

And then it just ends when someone gets the true ending at level 255

​@@minecrafter3448the rebirth as I heard another RU-vidr call it. When the game loops and you and the game come out alive

@@minecrafter3448reaching level 255 will be imposible even if you use ia because there will be a moment that it will crash and the colors will starts to glitch more and more

​@@SamirraadrIt may still be possible. Everyone thought that getting to this point was impossible before, but look at what we've witnessed! 😄 I saw a video out there warning about the high probability of crashes, but it explained that there are ways around some of them. Such as flashing the Next box off then back on with the right timing (with the Select button, IIRC). Then Fractal himself commented on it that there's discussion in the community about using an official piece of Nintendo hardware that allows use of 4 controllers on one console, & that pressing something on controllers 3 & 4 at certain times may also be able to bypass some of the crashes. We live in an exciting time, where human limits are being broken repeatedly. Don't give up hope so easily. The "impossible" has become possible several times now. I think it's only a matter of time & perseverance before we finally see the Rebirth ending. 🙂

@@Samirraadr level 30 was once thought to be impossible, even though it was entirely in the realm of possibility. Level 255 is entirely in the realm of possibility, players just have to get better.

Check out pixelandy he just best it too

Music was added post

Then pay extra to unlock all of the pieces with the I piece being a super rare lootbox drop.

not crazy, but suspicious.

​@@warrax111not really. They've been competing directly with each other to be first for months. Fractal very nearly was first the same day scuti got it.

@@warrax111 Their race to be the first to get the kill screen is well documented via their live streams so if those are "fairy tales" then you're hopelessly crazy.
