How does one “beat” Tetris? Till now everybody assumed you don’t. The sport has no finish; it simply retains rising in pace till it turns into unattainable to maintain up with. It’s true that lots of older arcade video games, which have been designed to haven’t any finish, have one as a result of the sport will bug out if you happen to play it lengthy sufficient. However…Tetris? Naw, there’s no such factor as a “kill display screen” for Tetris or we might’ve heard about it by now, proper?
Seems you CAN beat Tetris, or not less than one model. The semifinals for the 2023 Tetris World Championship have been held yesterday and the sport used was the NES model (the one by Nintendo, not Tengen). It was believed that the sport would crash if you happen to might attain Stage 155, however no human has ever made it that far. No human, that’s, till the one who calls himself Blue Scuti. He acquired the kill display screen through the match, and he’s solely 13.
Don’t depend on replicating this your self. Getting into inputs quick sufficient to maintain tempo at a stage like 155 requires some bizarre ways like “rolling,” or tapping the underside of the NES controller to maneuver sooner than the buttons will permit. Being adequate to compete within the CTWC requires mastery of methods like this.
You possibly can watch the total recreation under, or simply skip to minute 38 to see the magic second, and Scuti wheezing for air afterward. Let me add it’s good to see a 34-year-old recreation, on an excellent older console, nonetheless being appreciated by the youngest technology.
