It was so much fun to speedrun this game, and the speedrun community has been so welcoming! Thanks to SGDQ for the opportunity, the awesome couch, and I hope you guys enjoy the video.
How is this even humanly possible? I tried focusing on what blocks come next and the playfield, and before i had moved my eyes you placed up to 2 blocks already. I can't get how this is even remotely possible. This is ultra instinct to me.
This was an awesome run. I was staring at the screen in amazement the whole time. You're literally placing the blocks faster than I can even see them. Well done! 😊
The fact that the two were asking really good questions was cool, too! Made it really accessible for those who were wondering about tetris speedrunning. :o
Real sharp to spot 2 guys interested enough to be asking questions about the game, and lucky they were polite and ready to ask questions without becoming self-conscious about being front and center on stream. I know if I was one of the random guys on the couch and a donation said "fantastic couch" I'd catch a case of the vapors.
"This is the stage with the kids cheering?" "Yeah, oh, it ended too quick." _"Maybe the crowd can cheer for you."_ Did they pick these guys up from wholesome camp?
This was brilliant, from the introduction of a relatively new runner, the gameplay, the explanations and having people outside the community on the couch. Sometimes I have questions that go unanswered in a run because if is deemed obvious. Not here. Well done Blink, a well deserved standing ovation 👏👏
this run is what made me get tetris effect connected when it came out since i don't have a ps4. i know a lot of the run's fun comes from the audience having fun and the couch having fun and everyone having fun together. however that happiness, that community, is something that is somehow still in the game when i'm playing through an anxiety attack at three in the morning. this run gave me one of my best coping mechanisms and biggest and most favorite stims (especially the da vinci level and the astronaut level) so thanks guys for showing this game off cos it has changed my life.
This is what SGDQ is about, this is what gaming is about. Fantastic run, fantastic response from the community, fantastic cause. Well deserving of the standing ovation!
Microblizz is definitely one of the fastest (2cnd fastest to be exact) ] but he is not really the best. He would cause havoc if he entered GDQ for sure and I would love to see it but he lacks efficiency and consistency compared to the other gods, Though he's undeniably a god-tier player
Imagine a game about placing shaped blocks in a specific order to clear lines making you have an emotional reaction at the end of it. Wait.. That happened to me. Love this game, excellent run!
29:55 Really enjoyed the music of this one and the one directly after that. Felt like I was listening to an actual instrumental with how fast he was playing. That save though...not to mention, donations surpassed AGDQ 2016 and it hit the 29th minute at the moment he fully recovered
Dang, great job on the SGDQ run of Tetris Effect, Blink! It was a blast seeing the initial idea of running TE at a GDQ event, and the practice leading up to SGDQ with the gameplay sessions and script writing ideas were also fun to watch. The Tetris Effect run definitely showed off Guideline Tetris in a spectacular fashion, and I'd be glad for larger variety of Tetris and other related puzzle games to be present in future GDQ events. Anyway, fantastic run Blink with the same skill I've always been seeing on streams and in videos, as this was the one run at SGDQ that I was most excited for that clearly delivered on the impressive techniques.
30:52 'I honestly can't think of any other Tetris games I've ever seen that happen in space' Puyo Puyo Tetris mate, half the story is in space; and there was a GDQ run not too long ago
Some of the stages are lifted directly from Child of Eden - both the windmill section and red/blue glowing orb sections are from the Passion stage, and all the aquarium-style ones are very reminiscent of Evolution. Hell, the whole game being split into "areas" is also taken from Rez, which does the same thing. Kind of disappointing to not have the couch bring up anything about Child of Eden or Rez when there is so much either taken directly from or inspired by those games...
There are lots of different ways to play Tetris! Classic NEStris has a few noticeable differences compared to what Tetris players would consider to be Modern Tetris, or Guideline Tetris. While I'm sure Blink has played NEStris before, he seems to prefer platforms like TetriNET and Puyo Puyo Tetris and Tetris99, which have a lot more to offer for multiplayer Tetris overall.
NES Tetris is a completely different beast from Guideline Tetris. Generally, guideline gives you pieces you can work with better, you can move and spin around your pieces even after it lands for a bit, the Super Rotation System allows for some techniques like T-spins for extra points, and you can use hold to save a piece you need to complete a setup later, or just to get a piece you can't use out of the way. NES Tetris has a completely randomized piece set, so you can go 20+ pieces without getting an I piece for a Tetris. There's no holding. The Nintendo Rotation System doesn't allow for much flexibility. Your pieces are locked in place basically as soon as they hit the ground. To put it short, NES Tetris is much more difficult, and a large departure from Guideline. TL;DR: NES Tetris and Guideline Tetris are practically different games, with so many mechanics different between them.
Tetris only saves the most time due to it clearing 4 lines at once, saving 4 times as much time as clearing 4 single lines. The 6-3 is both for easy stacking, (making the LOJ box and then throwing all the zigzag pieces together) and easily setting up for t spins, which deals bonus damage in multiplayer (has no effect here) You see Blink almost randomly building the right side tetris stack instead of 6-3 (6 - 3 -> 9 - 0) because of the high gravity forcing him to only slide his pieces, instead of the usual flying over. Tetris Flow is a mechanic that lowers gravity and brings all your cleared lines to the bottom, and gives you a word depending on how many lines you clear. (Like perfectris and ultimatris)
Tool-Assisted Speedrun: it means someone programs the controller inputs synced to the game, so on playback it looks like some superhuman is playing the game perfectly. This guy plays so fast it looks like watching a robot play.
Tool Assisted Speedrun/ Superplay. Basically means that a player can use tools to make precise inputs and load save states in case they make an error, making humanely impossible things possible via machine playback.

@@Blubbpaule You should check out MicroBlizz, who was on the right side of the couch in this video. He has a sub 17 second 40 line sprint time.
That was Absolutely Amazing
This was an awesome run. I was staring at the screen in amazement the whole time. You're literally placing the blocks faster than I can even see them. Well done! 😊
I really liked the concept of just inviting two random guys to the couch
They synergized so well too
The fact that the two were asking really good questions was cool, too!

10:51 "I hope [Enhance] comes out with a multiplayer Tetris game"
Foreshadowing
Can we get a controller cam for the Tetris runs next GDQ?
That would be just one grey blur, I imagine. Holy moly! :-D
So that's why I can't get a victory royale in Tetris 99
I assume you mean Tetris Maximus?
Most wholesome run I've seen yet, bringing the community spirit full circle
Who ever imagined Tetris would be this stylish? Incredible run.
OG Tetris has been a very stylish game for its time.

Well deserved standing ovation. Tetris Effect quickly became one of my favorite games of all time.
When this run started Twitch chat EXPLODED in awe (reasonably so) and did not stop until the run ended.
Tetris effect is so goddamn beautiful
Blink can't help but set up t spins even in a speed run! Awesome run blink, you represented the tetris community big time. Much love!
Fun run - good couch and commentary from everyone.

This run is insane.

That was one of the most wholesome runs of this SGDQ.
This game is incredible in VR
This was one of the most amazing GDQ things I've ever seen
The impromptu couch was awesome!
Such an wholesome and mesmerizing run.
Microblizz is arguably the best Tetris player in the world. Would love to see him do a run at GDQ someday.
Microblizz is definitely one of the fastest (2cnd fastest to be exact) ] but he is not really the best. He would cause havoc if he entered GDQ for sure and I would love to see it but he lacks efficiency and consistency compared to the other gods, Though he's undeniably a god-tier player
So sad i didn't get to see it live, but what an amazing run and amazing couch, everyone needs to play Tetris effect and feel the awesome experience
36:00 "so this is what tetris looks like" 🤣
Imagine a game about placing shaped blocks in a specific order to clear lines making you have an emotional reaction at the end of it. Wait.. That happened to me. Love this game, excellent run!
The very first tetris game i played, on my gameboy in the 90's, actually had a purifier mode - though it wasn't called purifier mode of course
what is this mode exactly?
What a good run to watch! Good speedrunner and amazing couch as well. I like those two who are asking questions, such a nice addition :D
I’m really glad I got to catch this live! Always nice to see a Tetris run, and Blink did a great job!
"hey the dolphins are back"
My favorite moment in any speedrun
29:55 Really enjoyed the music of this one and the one directly after that. Felt like I was listening to an actual instrumental with how fast he was playing. That save though...not to mention, donations surpassed AGDQ 2016 and it hit the 29th minute at the moment he fully recovered

This was so awesome to watch
30:22 that notification on the bottom was perfectly timed to the music
I fell for that ...
People should look at MicroBlizz's Tetris Sprint runs he's insanely fast as well
the fastest*
@@KezDaBez not anymore.
30:52 'I honestly can't think of any other Tetris games I've ever seen that happen in space' Puyo Puyo Tetris mate, half the story is in space; and there was a GDQ run not too long ago
wish he got a Ultimatris at the end
I love speed runs and this is a great one.
But dang this game is too beautiful to speed run haha.
Amazing stuff, just got into Tetris recently and the harddrop community has been great
Such a beautiful game and an awesome run!
Well this made me really want to buy this version of Tetris.
It's now out on PC as well, both have VR support.
this was such a great run!!
vn background infos from the runner, great run!
The visuals make me think of Child of Eden
It was done by the same guy-Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Also responsible for Rez, Lumines, Meteos and Every Extend Extra.
Same developer :)
Same creative team :) Also Rez and Lumines

Ps, this game has an amazing soundtrack please listen to it. Okay you can go back to the run now.
Wow! This is video gaming on god mode! How does he talk while playing!? :D
Who says gaming hasn't done some awesome things for awesome causes!
Such controlling skill is unbelievable. How could he not showing up on classic tetris world championship or something like that ?

if you look closely, there are some lines that vanish in an instant
damn, what a beautiful game
too bad I don't play tetris
Way to go Blink 👍
I got to like level 3 in dos tetris and I thought I was ok.
O.O
Does anyone know where I can find the "Tech Overview Video" they're talking about @ 39:39 ?
that speed tho
musta practiced on grandmaster or something
Half of this doesnt even look real to my small baby brain
15:00 crowd repeats
Why is this not on the Switch yet!!!!???!?!!!!

Damn must be nice to just be able to give $1000 lol
Can I buy the soundtrack to this game?
They just announced that it's gonna be sold on Bandcamp digitally soon and is currently available for pre-order as a physical vinyl.
8:59 LOL
They didn't talk about Trey Harrison's 16 line clear
Because it isn't really an impressive feat
What does TAS stand for?

This game is cool but £35.99 for it? Seriously? Thats so expensive.
