@@codetaku Yeah and most LANs in the late 90s/early 2000s were that way too. I can only hope NES tetris grow as much as other esports that started that way
I love the tetris community,so much love for the game,each player and the community at large. So wholesome to watch from grey old north germany. Thank you david for all the work you do!
0:42 I'm glad the clip from that Livestream existed. The full videos were not saved. After Jonas Neubauer passed away, I wanted to find any past videos of Jonas. And I remembered that Trey had done test livestreams on the ClassicTetris Twitch channel. So I looked at all the clips and found a bunch of old clips from those livestreams. The clips were all new to me because I was not active on Twitch at the time. I'm happy to be able to share them with Classic Tetris community. That was my way of honoring him.
This was an incredibly video scout. The storytelling, the editing, the mystery until the end, it just all comes together flawlessly. I can really tell you put so much effort into these and I can't thank you enough for making me feel like I was there myself. I can't wait to see you in more events in the future (jersey and ctwc were amazing) and continue being so great!
Fantastic video! Really love these event recaps. Thank you for documenting the scene and making us feel a part of it! edit: also love the jokes no matter how cheesy. Keep em coming!
Scout is my go to Tetris channel for all the up to date Tetris news from 2 years ago. Jk, fantastic video as always, it's awesome having these very up close and personal looks at these events and getting to really experience the history of competitive Tetris as it's being made.
I used to play a certain CCG competitively. I was never really good, but I had fun travelling to tournaments with friends from my local scene and making new friends from all over the world. i've stopped playing that game (for various reasons), but I get to re-live those vibes every time Scout posts one of his "tournament diary" videos. I vividly remember that feeling of getting together and playing your favourite game with people you don't get to see that often. The game I played was not the same, but the feeling of community certainly is.
Thank you for sharing your community. My hobby community is very small, as well. I've seen my friends twice in the last 4 years and I know what it's like to have droughts of face to face with friends. Thanks for sharing your experiences
Great Vid Scout. I love the detective work that outed Jounce! You have a great style for these vids and I enjoy watching them. Thanks (To you and yer mrs) for your contribution to the Tetris community. Keep up the good work!
Oh, man I SOOOO much miss the LAN days I had during the late 1990s and early 2000s. We even played Tetris back then on the tetrinet client. Though mostly, CS and quake and some Command and Conquer. ^^
I don't know how this community doesn't have million dollar tournaments. These videos are far more engaging than watching League and CS:GO tournaments.
I was shocked when it was revealed, not going to lie - I was hoping it was something I wasn't familiar with but probably would have watched the video anyways. no spoilers
To me this could be the coolest gaming moment of the last ten years if not more easily! This here is gaming at its core. Minus the cellphones and video fidelity, i could easily think this was something happening in the 80s and 90s. Reminds me of times my friends and I would drag several computers together to have LAN matches of Doom and Quake. To see this right here warms this old gamer's heart!
At the time I was regularly getting of bed at like 3pm but had to wake up at a normal time for this so I was very sleepy... college can do that to a person LOL
this seriously is one of my favorite communities to follow on the internet. i need to figure out how to get started since i already play a ton of tetris 99 and effect
Start playing Classic Score Attack on Tetris Effect Connected! It’s exactly the same game mechanics without having to invest in a retro gaming setup at the start
It's kind of bizarre how young all the top competitors are for this methusalem of a game. And then we have the guy who tries to document it all inbetween everything. aGameScout... more like aGameDad :D Srsly: this channel and (at least by your portrayal) this scene has been nothing but wholesome... which sounds like the biggest BS ever spouted in '23 Chef's kiss, go on, you deserve every accolade thrown at you.
I'm so confused in terms of the timeline here (when this happened; rolling in its infancy; world record holder at the time; live tournament score record at the time; etc.)
I should’ve maybe made it more clear in the script, but this tournament was just 4 months after Cheez had started maining rolling and the wider community had really learned about it so most other players were only just getting started with it, and it was just the second major live tournament after the South Carolina qual since the 2019 CTWC (and the field here was stronger overall than South Carolina hence all the live world records)
Keep making your videos man! Your Tetris videos are good as usual, maybe in the future you will even get the top 10 (or maybe to first place) at one of the future tetris world champion!
@@aGameScout You've for sure grown the community quite a lot I would feel, which is awesome! I don't play myself but I've watched your vids for a while and it's so cool to see all of the stories and such surrounding the community and game, with good reach on the videos too!
Mad props to the guy putting all this on, but he needs to be careful with all that PC hardware that's just laying out with nothing more than a curtain in front of it. There's always someone willing to take advantage of someone else's kindness.
Scout you have an uncanny ability to capture, document, and narrate real life events. I'm sure in the next 10 years, one of these kids will become a CEO of some startup and we can see their early beginnings as a tech enthusiast.
Yeah, it's definitely possible to get at least a few lines, but exponentially improbable to get much further than that, so the 80k I needed would've definitely been impossible haha
I noticed that Eric was playing Classic Tetris in single player mode on his switch, something I can't do on Teris Connected on my switch. Does anyone know how he is doing this? Is there a game I can buy so I can play solo Tetris? Great video btw. Nice to see everyone having such a nice time together. 😊
wasn’t even brought up at the time, the rolling motion and glove were pointed out but not my shirt. also I was wearing a different glove to roll at this event than I used at the time just in case but people called it the same glove anyway.
@@joakimboulanger4490 technically there are modchips that are available on aliexpress, but the cost of the chip and installation would be about the cost of another switch lite lol

I just love how Tetris players come up with solutions to host qualifiers in a garage, just as how they come up with solutions during Tetris.
Gaming will always find a way. I love how the competitive community's are so grass roots. Even EVO and AGDQ have humble beginnings in a garage.
this is basically how most esport events were 15 years ago, that's so cool.

@@codetaku I thought it was mostly dunks house for friendlies, but I think you're thinking of Matt deezys house tourneys?
Thanks for posting this Scout! This brought back a lot of good memories; it's hard to believe it's been over a year since this meetup! :D
I love these vlog type videos where you gather with a bunch of other people and have fun playing Tetris and just interacting with each other.

Thank you david for all the work you do!
6:28 the fact that the score calculation was done with a scratch project makes me so happy

We really, REALLY need a mic for the controllers. We need to hear the roll sound in tournaments. So satisfying.

the Caveman beating on the CRT may have been the best part of the vid. (just for comedic purposes)
16:29 That actually makes me think. I know that it's not completely impossible, as Jonas has gotten level 30 with DAS. But it is incredibly hard.
Yeah, it's definitely possible to get at least a few lines, but exponentially improbable to get much further than that, so the 80k I needed would've definitely been impossible haha
18:43 I'm confused, why did this tetris give ~70,000 points? Was the score tracker a little behind?
Yeah, it was glitched, it seems like it was having trouble registering scores on level 28 all day. The final score on level 29 was correct
@@aGameScout thanks! And I admire getting the footage out/story told, even though some time has passed!

That was an emulator
@@wingfryer
Do you know what the emulator might be called?
@@davedwse It was a hacked Switch running Retroarch
i hate that the stories are so old but the videos are fire
How was eric was able to play NES tetris on switch at 1:35 ?
It's not in the NES library with switch online.
Tetris Effect Connected. It has a classic Tetris mode.
@@scottyging1962 TEC didn't release on switch until October 2021. Assume he just flashed his device and put an emulator on there.
Yeah the timeframe has my brain broken
Emulator with rom (jailbroken device). You can see the switch running android operating system at 5:19
I can confirm it was a hacked switch running retroarch
This seems sus. Top players topping out at around 700k with others around but get to level 39 when they play at home. Really suspicious
Finally the pace stat!
Wait wait wait! How does he play NES Tetris on the Switch?
At the time the only option was an emulator. Nowadays you can do it through Classic score attack mode on Tetris effect connected
