Tetris Just Got Beaten Again

Thanks to everyone new who's subscribed and started following the scene since Blue Scuti got the first True Killscreen! Things are happening CRAZY fast in the scene right now, and the nature of these videos is they take at least 5-7 days to put together. So there's some groundbreaking stuff that's happened just in the past few days that I wasn't able to cover in detail. I'll be getting into as much of it as I can in future videos, but in the meantime - tune into the top NES Tetris player's livestreams, they're doing some incredible stuff with the game right now!

Fractal a true testament to what it means to be a gamer and a part of a community. Congratulations

I was there during the stream. The amount of PURE dedication this guy has was insane. Props to him for still trying even after Scuti got the first crash.

Seeing fractal so happy for scuti the moment he hits the first crash is like, peak humanity

6:41 "Trying a tougher version of what you need to do is kinda the secret of getting better at lots of things, so that you're ready for anything."

I like how Fractal got his own record. He wasn't the first to get the crash, but he was the first to get the earliest crash. Now people can choose to speedrun to beat Fractal, or keep going to beat Scuti

Fractal has always had a heart of gold. He helps my son with all sorts of tech related topics. Always taking time out of his busy schedule to answer with a lot of patience. He is exactly the type of leader you want to see in a community that your child is involved in. Not enough credit goes toward him, he deserves so much more. Thank you, Fractal, for being such a great mentor and role model.

2nd is amazing! I think the main reason Scuti got such big news coverage had a lot to do with his young age. Being the first is one thing, but being the first at something at the age of 13, AND 30+ years since anyone made the record was what really made the story shine - and the media ate that up. If Fractal or anyone over 18 had been the first to crash Tetris I wonder if it would still make mainstream news.

The fact that a 35 year old game has so much hype around it right now is absolutely mind blowing.

I saw fractal's reaction to Scuti and it's apparent how wholesome this guy is. So proud of him for getting second. The community needs more people like him.

What a thoroughly nice guy Fractal appears to be. A sportsman in the old fashioned sense of the word. Obviously hugely skilled and dedicated but with a grasp on his ego which means he still knows the way you conduct yourself is more important than if you win. The world needs more like him

Incredible passion and dedication, fractal! The world of Tetris and gaming itself is moved forward by such monumental achievements. It's so inspiring to see the lengths you've reached in this profession we all love. Not being the first to achieve a feat doesn't make the accomplishment any less immense.

This is the most wholesome esports/speed running community ever and may it stay that way forever!

The way Scout speaks of Fractal just makes him seem like future if not current ambassador. I would nominate him for like a Jonas award for helping push the community forward, but also even hosting his own event. Those can be very costly.

I always feel so proud when I see Scuti get that crash. It's so infectious.

I just love how wholesome and kind the Tetris community is. Just a community of awesome people having fun and helping eachother

Fractal seems so wholesome and down to earth, an awesome representative for the scene. I didn’t know of this world until your bluescuti video, but now I love following the aftermath!

fractal walked so blue scuti could run. This has been such a wholesome time in gaming and im glad that the tetris community is thriving rn.

The humility on this community is astonishing, just the level of csmaradery and brotherhood between these fellows and their love of their tetros is inspiring. Seeing how Fractal went to BlueScootie's to cheer him on was just like seeing an older brother cheer his younger one up as he's just doing everything perfect.

tetris community is so wholesome
