  • PixelAndy had mastered 2 of NES Tetris' 3 hallmark playstyles, but with the scene continuing to evolve, he got to work on perfecting the 3rd and final technique. This is the story of his quest to become a Tetris champion.

    PixelAndy (his screenname) picked up NES Tetris back in 2019, initially learning the DAS technique. After his competition began to improve, he was forced to learn hypertapping, a playstyle spearheaded by Joseph Saelee and Koryan in the previous Classic Tetris World Championships. In the 2020 CTWC, he would show his mastery of tapping, forced to face none other than his brother Dog in the finals. After that, Andy would once again be forced to play catch-up as top competitor Cheez unveiled the rolling technique, only this time, Andy would be able to find his way to the top, dominating competition in recent months.

    Note entirely sure how usual this is, but in the clips featured at 07:09 in the video, P1xelAndy puts the T-piece over to the right side, and just before it sets he rotates it to the right, accomodating for the square-piece right after - whereas without the square being right after, I'd expect the T-piece to not close off the right side. As someone who is mainly an observer, this quick thinking/reflexes/intuition is amazing to see (Or maybe, to an experienced player this is just a regular move? I don't know. I'm impressed either way)

      @@notawesomedanny785 Cheese hasn't dropped off, so to speak. Learning new techniques takes a really long time to get good at. Eric did a spread sheet with most of the games from most of the rollers. There's a honeymoon phase where everyone gets super high scores. Then there is a huge dip, and only after that dip a steady return to and passing of the honeymoon phase scores. He is the furthest along, as far as learning time, and most likely has the most true skill. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the rest of the year...

    Is it fair to say that Andy is the best player? He's very good, but he's not the world champion, doesn't have the highest Elo, and doesn't have the world record. I think it's fair to say he's in the top three with Dog and Alex, but not necessarily number one.

    • @liuxbrek
      @liuxbrek Před rokem

      i'm pretty sure on his 2.2 mil level 29 start he was tapping & rolling concurrently, basically switching between the two styles depending on how far he needed to move the pieces. that was probably may or april-ish, though recently on his streams, he's been rolling a lot more, even pre-killscreen.
