    YOOOO! Amazing video! Watched whole thing through my bed! I will make sure to have you make another video but this time, I will get rebirth!
  • @JadedJaguar909
    Bro got told his 9.9 million didn't count and proceeded to demolish the entire NES Tetris record list.
  • @Novit_
    Him quoting other players is like him contacting the past avatars
  • @TheTechAdmin
    18:57 "Eyes, wide, open!" You don't even need to be a fan of Tetris or competitive gaming (of which I am neither, so this is sound speaking) to appreciate how great this world of competitive Tetis is, thanks to the structure of this video. I absolutely love how the two top rivals, are more star-crossed best friends that are geographically stretched, rather than the aggressive stigma associated with the term, "rivals". Look at the one way the one champion pauses his game to check on his competition. Then has a giddy laugh of pride one has for a little brother, when his "eyes wide open" quote is rechanted. I just absolutely love it! 😁

    Fractal: I think 16M would kill the record for a year or so Alex T:
  • @Snarkbar
    Fractal is the final boss who's also the supportive big brother.
  • @snipermoose2580
    Hearing Alex T quote Tetris greats, as he gets a higher and higher level count, and watching Fractal just laugh is too hilarious
  • @sinteleon
    I like how the Goal suddenly jumped from 10 million points to 20 million points here~ 32:05
  • I'm not Tetris guy, never was, don't think I'll ever be, but you lot are a tight knit community of people devoted to competing on you beloved game and that is wonderful to see. I salute you.
  • This kid went through a full anime arc consisting of a rise, a fall, learning new techniques, innovation, “flashbacks” (reciting others), overcoming obstacles, a secondary fall, celebration, an after story, cliffhanger for a season 2, and supporting characters.
  • @NaHBrO733
    29:20 The cinematic shot of "Greeeeen" is rightfully horrifying
  • I didn't think I'd sit through a 40 minute video document of tetris but here I am. Great video, amazing presentation, and awesome delivery!! Everyone mentioned in that video is amazing!
  • @schizoashkov839
    Huge shout-out to the real MVP who unlocked Alex's full power: THE GLOVE
  • @dawsonpatricc
    lol the terrifying mood change when discovering 800 lines was greeeen
  • @jimmerseiber
    I love how this kid is like totally a gamer kid of this age.. listening to him is more entertaining than half of the tetris players. He has a knack for it. He really should be streaming every game haha
  • @saynotop2w
    I don't understand why stories of a game of clearing out four lines make me emotional. This game is something else.
  • @JosiahPlett
    "such a moment is cause for celebration, so Alex T starts chugging parmesan cheese and pouring it on his head" stellar commentary LOL
  • @Pickonator123.
    Why did i just watch a 40 minute video essay on NES tetris, and why did i enjoy it?
  • @xilluminati
    Alex is channeling all his avatars in the avatar state
