@orangeapples Год назад

That’s also why Tetris is split between Classic and Modern. The mindsets between the 2 really cannot be compared. They are 2 different games that appeal to 2 different audiences. There is no doubt that there are people who are good at both, but I’d imagine muscle memory would get the best of you at the high end. Have they done Classic vs Modern exhibition matches?

@Fopenplop Год назад

@Troll god It's not stupid, it just ends up being a substantively different game. Classic's emphasis on flexibility and variance makes for really tense gameplay, but modern Tetris' reliability allows for some really virtuosic performances from top players

@syeblaize 11 месяцев назад

This line piece drought is really something. If I've got my count right, that was a 33 piece line drought. Classic Tetris, from what I can find, just chooses from pieces at random. This means its basically equivalent of failing to roll a 6 on 33 7-sided dice. The chance of this happening is ~0.63%. Obviously, the crazy part about all of this is that this unlikely event happened in the finals of a game where the player decided to be extremely aggressive

@sage5296 4 месяца назад

odds are actually about 0.35%, since NES tetris does some stuff to avoid giving you the same piece twice in a row most of the time it'll give you the piece twice in a row with 2/56 odds, all other pieces at 9/56 odds, so the chance is (54/56)*(47/56)^32 or about 0.35% even more unlikely infact, since it's more likely to give you a line piece in avoiding the repeat non-line piece

Thats the single worst luck ever. Like he played it almost perfectly up til the end. Left zero open spots until he absolutely had to at the very end. He kept it open on the right for so long, and had like 3 full tetrises available if he could just get the line pieces. He just got the single worst luck of all time. And just to taunt him, the game gave him the line piece when im pretty sure it was physically impossible to get it into the hole.

@changer_of_ways_suspense_smith Год назад

I play this way too. This is way too familiar to me. I get too aggressive in keeping the well open and often get sent garbage before I can pull off a string of tetrises. Like chess, I really appreciate Tetris for the balanced, simple gameplay. But like Chess, there's always more to master. Tetris is an eternal game of strategy, logic, reflexes and even personality and psychology. I absolutely love it.

@MikeMozzaro Год назад

I'm don't really watch tetris professionally, but I remember reading something years ago about how theoretically, a tetris game could give you 4 'S's and 4 'Z's in a row continuously and it would be literally impossible to win. So when I saw this vid in my recommended; I kinda had a feeling that it would come down to a pro player just having really, really, really bad luck in the middle of a competition. I wasn't 100% right, but that certainly was a big part it seems. Awesome breakdown dude! Super engaging all the way though~

@aGameScout Год назад

You're correct, it was proven if you got nothing but endless S's and Z's that you'd eventually die even with perfect play (but it would take a VERY long time so practically, it would never happen in a real game). A small element of that was in play for this game, where Alex got himself into a situation where there were only two realistic options for placing multiple S pieces and he gambled on the aggressive placements and came up short. Thanks for the kind words!

@titopaul9299 Год назад

Finally, a game that I can aspire to! Really enjoyed the commentary. Looking forward to your new channel.

@UrielManX7 11 месяцев назад

You know, back in the day, when I would play tetris with my friends for the one season, we got to nickname the S/Z pieces as "the uglies", because those were the most difficult to place, and were the culprit of almost all top outs, directly, or indirectly. So it's very funny to me this legendary 0 point game was caused by those pieces, I was like "Ah, of course, the uglies had something to do with this" :3

For level 18 starts, surprisingly, it's believed to be higher risk for marginal gain. Doing it in a full game might add up to like a tetris and a half, but it also typically messes up your stack so much that you miss out on several natural tetrises in the process. It might be helpful in level 15 starts, but I'm also kind of just trying to believe it's useful because it exists.
