@FrightNFight That's how it always should be! Not the stupid "I hate my brother cause he outshines me" thing you usually see when two brothers (or just siblings in general) are both really successful in the same sport (or art). Absolutely love to see that their successes don't get in the way of their relationship as loving and supportive family. They may compete for world championships, but at heart they're still just two brothers having a blast playing a video game together. And that's freaking awesome! 🥰

@lemguins7031 2 місяці тому
This always gets me. As soon as you add needing to evolve to a new play style to even get placements proper, it's going against too much muscle memory for me to fathom making changes like that at such a high level.
@SpinningSandwich 2 місяці тому
I think this finally gets NES Tetris back to what makes Tetris a puzzle game. The kill screen is, no doubt, one of the crowning achievements of Tetris, but it's more in the marathon tradition, with no real goal beyond survival. If you go all the way back to the days of Jonas's domination, what set him apart (and what made fellow DAS player GreenTea so competitive in the hypertapping era) was incredible stacking skill. NES Tetris is inherently on the "athletic" end of the Tetris spectrum, but once you've become consistent on that front, what makes the difference is how efficiently and cleanly you can stack some blocks. Since NES Tetris is once again a finite game in practice (at least at the world record level) scoring efficiency matters again, which implies only clearing Tetrises and cleanup with singles.

I could not have competed in this version or in other more modern versions of tetris, with players like this truly amazing. Props to PixelAndy and the all the others.

Amazing vid as usual David. And the overlays/infographics and ways you put the data and explanations up is alwaus improving so much. When you came to talking about the 3 phases of the game, I was sitting here going, ok, yes yes , we know this but its for newbies to the scene, waiting for 1-19 and transition, then lvl 29 etc ... and had to readjust when it was clear phase one is just now including to lvl 29 - which really sinks in how far this game moved in a mere decade and a bit since Ecstasy Doco, that it's just taken as standard play now !

Okay, now Andy's character arc and rise will only be complete when he takes his long-earned rightful place as World Champ later this year!! But seriously, thanks for the video Scout! Love you highlighting Andy's long history, going from being a great player somewhat in the shadow of his brother, the world champ; to a stand-out player setting staggering world records and netting regular championship wins himself. Ever since they hit the scene, I've loved the back and forth between dog and Andy, especially the part about how when they face each other in a competition, they feel like no matter who wins, they both win. I feel like everyone really "into" NES Tetris already knows it, but it's nice that that sentimental brotherly rivalry (for lack of a better word) is immortalized in your video!
