Game news After the 13-year-old who beat Tetris, another young man has just broken a world record!
Since Blue Scuti’s impressive record a few weeks ago, the professional Tetris scene has been buzzing!
A quick reminder of the facts, for those who haven’t followed what’s happening with Tetris. In early January, a 13-year-old gamer broke an impressive record on the NES version of the iconic video game. He managed to reach level 157 and beat the game by causing what is called a “True Killscreen”.. This feat is particularly impressive when we know that the blocks fall more and more quickly and the colors become duller and therefore more difficult to discern. It was therefore with a lot of training that the young player Blue Scuti managed to beat this record.
Since this prodigy’s incredible performance, the door has been wide open to the craziest records. Blue Scuti, real name Willy, gave visibility to an exciting professional scene, which attracted a plethora of players hungry for challenges. Thus, for several weeks, Tetris on NES has enjoyed remarkable popularity, and recently, another spectacular record was reached.
He scored more than 8 million points on Tetris
After the record of the young Blue Scuti, a merciless battle between brothers took place within the community of pro Tetris players. Dogplayingtetris and PixelAndy regularly compete fiercely in various tournaments, and it is often the first, the youngest, who wins. However, PixelAndy finally managed to beat his younger brother. For context, the record stood at 6 million points in 2022, with no one managing to surpass this already very high bar. However, that was before the arrival of PixelAndy, who impressed the audience made up of fans of the game, with his disconcerting speed which seems almost inhuman. He thus became the first person to reach 7 million points, then broke his own record with precisely 8,952,432 points. A stadium that everyone thought impossible just a few weeks ago.
Now, the Classic Tetris Youtube channel organizes weekly tournaments named “Race to 10 million”, where a large number of players, including PixelAndy, try to reach this milestone. In short, the Tetris gaming community has never been as vibrant as it is today!
