      I've noticed that, that techinque he used is common in piano, named as "repeated note". Also the guitar players (as I am) uses a technique en left hand to reach better hand positions or to play faster patterns called "substitution". I saw Jason Richardson playing an exercise touching just one note but with for fingers, very similar to that rolling technique.

      @p1kkuma Před 4 měsíci +4

      Rolling is not an invention per se, it’s been around for decades for other games (and as mentioned above, it’s also kinda used in piano) but it was often disregarded for classic Tetris because the dpad is so small that it seemed impossible to use the technique efficiently. But Cheez is the one who came up with the idea of rolling on the *bottom* of the controller instead of the top, which is what changed the tetris game forever!

I loved how despite having incredible skill in the game, he doesn’t seem remotely egotistical about it and instead comes across as an extremely likable and friendly guy.
    Now, I found out that he just passed away. This is fucking heartbreaking. Dude represented the gaming community very well and just seemed like such an awesome dude. Rest In Peace Jonas.

    Fun fact: before piece bags (where you're guaranteed one of each piece every six pieces) it's definitely possible to have an impossible set. It's been proven that alternating Z and S pieces are impossible to sustain.

      @@donnguyen166 In the classic version of the tetris game, each block is generated in a completely random way - there is no rule that you have to get every single one per seven pieces. You can get the same block 10 times in a row and not get another one until the end of the game. This is one of the main differences between more modern versions of this game and the original one, thanks to which in modern versions of this game you are able to score more points in a shorter time and often also without the risk that RNG will destroy your fun.
