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!
Hope you will we will be all rooting for you to get the rebirth
Edit: 400 likes I have never gotten this much before
Your my sigma alex
Yeah you will!
Bro ur a living legend
Alex you are 100% one of the best NES Tetris players in history
Bro got told his 9.9 million didn't count and proceeded to demolish the entire NES Tetris record list.
This sh*t is too easy for him loool
the biggest "oh yeah?" in gaming history
@@solidus4prez that was fucking day *one* of his grindset
"DEMOLISHER!"
From 9.9 to 16.2 and 16.7 is a pretty huge jump
It's moments like this that makes internet such a great thing.
A 1984 game and having such a wholesome community and all.
You mean supportive
Literally 1984
Ikr
Not thanks to Nintendo
Amazing narration / script writing / music integration. You are a talented videomaker!
ISH?????? HELLO THERE LOL
LOVE YOUR VIDS
ish???
Pls tell me ish is now a Tetris fan
HI ISH!!
Fractal is the final boss who's also the supportive big brother.
Sidnev is the real final boss.
True dat
Goddam, your funny real funny, you oughta be. Comedian.

@@duongyeetyboi2609 Thanks it’s a joke between me and him (since I know him irl)
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.

Underrated comment
Him quoting other players is like him contacting the past avatars
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! 😁
Hearing Alex T quote Tetris greats, as he gets a higher and higher level count, and watching Fractal just laugh is too hilarious
Anime moments XD
@@jackowsky86Seriously, this whole thing was just straight from an anime!
People may criticise Alex's world records for "not being legit" but no matter how many they invalidate, Alex still has a win-win situation in his hands. That is even the worst-case scenario. Joseph Saelee, Cheez, BlueScuti, Alex. The trend of young Tetris players breaching previously-cemented limits is going stronger than ever.
I fully loved it! It felt poetic and just bought more hype! That, and it felt like a surreal yet completely genuine show of respect! It felt like he was standing on the shoulders of giants, and he wanted you to know who they were
@@JediJess1i know it makes me cry actually so beautiful
37:20 "We call this summoning Satan"
"I like it"
Most chill cult initiation
They might call it “Summoning Satan”, but I call it “Summoning Inbachi” knowing what humanity has been through in gaming.
I would join a Tetris cult ngl
@@ramsescampollo2506 what do they do
Not long before they call it summoning salt
@@Mediocre_Soup reject the new Tetris (SNES) because it's sacrilege
18:08 "lock in, I regret nothing"
my brother said he was going to say this before his AP test lol
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!
29:20 The cinematic shot of "Greeeeen" is rightfully horrifying
This is it, we’re in the belly of the beast now.
when you enter the matrix level and become one with the game
⚡🌩
@@speedymatt1236 There are so many times where we thought we were in the belly of the beast but somehow we got out.
Level 29-30 question
Hypertapper's problem

now here we are.

lol the terrifying mood change when discovering 800 lines was greeeen
I mean... it very much is a terror. o.o
To me the greeeeeen level looks reasonably easy to see on my monitor...I guess it looks different via CRT?
By contrast, the dusk looks terrifyingly murky, yet Alex was cool with it!
I would prefer 800+ lines of green over the black/greys...not that I would be able to personally reach that :)
@@BlueSpaceLizard It's probably also different how you have to watch the screen when playing it vs. spectating, he needs to glance over at the next piece box, which is dark green on black inside a white outline
@@BlueSpaceLizard yeah, greeeeen is rather dark on a CRT. I remember Eric showing in the video about the challenges to get to rebirth, him brightening the screen on Dusk, and the green parts were nearly invisible until he brightened the screen. I'd imagine that green on that greeeeen would be pretty hard to see.
A 16-year-old beats Jonas Neubauer
A 16-year-old teaches you rolling
A 13-year-old crashes the game
A 15-year-old breaks every world record
You can never stop the compassion of the young.
On May 4th Alex T passed Rebirth and made it to level 38 after the wrap-around, for a score of just shy of 22million. I look forward to the follow-up video about that. :)
no fucking wayyyyyy....I've never been like a huge tetris fan, but that's genuinely incredible, a testament to human determination and how gaming has progressed as a whole
He started the run at level 152 or 153
32:30 "joking around has been soothing my nerves"
not taking things too seriously and just having fun once again proves to help mental health greatly
there's wisdom in that
Huge shout-out to the real MVP who unlocked Alex's full power:
THE GLOVE
If we argued that Tetris skills were exponentially increasing in the first few years since Joseph Saelee was in power as the ruling champion,
we can now argue that Tetris skills are increasing tetrationally. It's very difficult to see progression as fast as this.
@@probium2832 i swear someone bouta get 8 rebirths and would get more but they fell asleep
this one did fit
@@atomicaxiom7573 hey that's another way to die in tetris!!
yes, the hypertapping, rolling, and the gloves.. amazing discoveries. will night-vision glasses let us see the weird dark colours better? but well that might be considered as cheating..? or unless it's considered as another category lol. or will night-vision don't help at all? idk, just wondering in my own stupidity
"such a moment is cause for celebration, so Alex T starts chugging parmesan cheese and pouring it on his head" stellar commentary LOL
Don’t forget the cleaning it with shampoo before his milk shower.😂
I'm surprised I had to scroll so far down to see a comment about that celebration. My 17 year old saw it and said, "kids." Even he didn't understand it. Heck of a story. Sky's the limit and seems like a short time before rebirth.
@@adameden8722 Alex grinds tomorrow for rebirth. Prepare yourself.
@@williammckinney5213 You can't take a milk bath while dirty, everyone knows that
@Repent-and-trust-in-the-LORD wtf does the bible have to do with alex?
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.
Why did i just watch a 40 minute video essay on NES tetris, and why did i enjoy it?
For all the photorealism and voice acting and complexity of modern games, I still think Tetris is probably the most perfect distillation of gaming. It’s so incredibly simple that it just resonates across all cultures and ages. And seeing people do things well is compelling, whether it be jumping off mountains or obliterating the high score of a 40-year-old video game!
Because it inspires. The actual activity doesn’t matter. The emotion behind it does.
I did this same thing a couple years ago..ive been here watching all these Tetris pros literally grow up ever since..theyve all come a long way and i don't think any ofthem are even 20 yet lol..except fractal
A little fun fact. The official classic tetris twitch channel was streaming a match at the time and one of the players playing heard what Alex was doing and topped out intentionally throwing a game away so everyone could watch Alex. Probably one of my most memorable moments (the person was me btw lol)
How selfless. Was it the original 16 million game? If so then little did everyone know. I remember when alex posted the new record just after scout posted a video. And just when scout was well on his way to finishing the video Alex decided to break not one, but TWO- wait not even two. SEVEN WORLD RECORDS. Well seven at minimum.
@@probium2832 yeah it was the original
@@lapislazuli4288Link to the stream or at least a timestamp please?
What an absolute legend ❤
'the person was me btw' lmao, this is how everyone should boast from now on!
Him quoting the ones to go before him really makes this. The kids a legend and gave the moment the respect it needed 😂
Specially when he started chugging Parmesan cheese
@@Felipera_that and hes funny af. 😂
Fanboying over his favorite sport fr.
@@ninjaydes Considering how many times you have to move your hands at near inhuman speeds, I think this might actually qualify for a sport, at least as much as cheerleading is a sport, oh wait.
yeah
It's too bad Jonas isn't here to see all of this. Personally, he was a huge spark to all of this Tetris flame that continues to keep burning brighter. I am stunned to witness the insane feats that have been achieved since the Tetris tournament began. The Tetris story from the beginning to present day is just absolutely stunning from birth in Russia all those years ago to now. Can't wait to see what else is in store for the legendary saga of Tetris and all those who continue to shatter expectations. RIP Jonas. Great video!
He really is. He inspired others to find new methods to beat him...and the hyper tapping and then that was pushed further and now it's just crazy.
I don't understand why stories of a game of clearing out four lines make me emotional. This game is something else.
Gotta give massive props to Fractal for being genuinely excited for his friend and probably rival to get to the 10 million score before him. He seemed sincerely proud and that's not something most competitors share
I don't know who these guys are, but that was the first thing I noticed.
If this is the attitude of top players then this will inspire the community to be wholesome and good sports
This is different from sports and other types of competition. They are competing but are also learning from and supporting each other. Techniques and insights are often shared and improved upon.
Fractal did that for several other Tetris greats like blue scuti when scuti beat him. Dude is just chill like that. Already a legend, got nothing to prove.
Love how you took the time to explain all the inside references within the Tetris community. Really highlights how alive their community is. And what an amazing story. Alex is in the zone.
ikr
Indeed, I never watched or played this particular version of Tetris. It was very enjoyable and immersive watching this despite never taking part of it
I dont know why this video popped up on my feed but I was also hooked for the whole video...as someone who has played Tetris (probably the original and its been like 30 years lol), I had no idea this was such a big community. I still dont understand the rolling action lol. But wow, well done to Alex T and his amazing records. I was impressed he could talk and play so well at the same time, and how he dealt with the poor visbility of charcoal and green. Feel like he shoukd have won more than $2.6k (or however much he won). You did a great job on this video btw! ❤
Rolling is just drumming your fingers on the back of the controller. Instead of pushing the button on the front, you hover your finger over the button (dpad) and push the controller into the button by drumming your fingers on the controller.
This is done because using 4 fingers instead of one is faster. Using the back of the controller is easier than trying to drum fingers over the dpad.
it's what they do so you can't tell they're not the one pressing the buttons.
The competition is fierce, but at the same time so supportive and encouraging.
They genuinely want to see each other push the limits of what's possible.
This is peak sportsmanship.
I've heard people say that Mario 64's community, where many players only go for records to prevent specific other players from getting them, a good thing because it's "encouraging competition." This proves that's all nonsense. The healthiest community is the one where everyone is motivated to play and support each other, because it's the record that matters, not the person who gets it.
Probably the best gaming community I have ever been in.
Haven't met a single person who's known as an abuser in the Tetris community either. No, Jayne Secker doesn't count, you'd be a lot worse than her to be a genuine abuser. Worst sportmanship I've ever seen here is merely a pout and not threatening to attack the other person.
@@probium2832 ...Jayne Secker? who's that?

@@nethowarrior3294 Otherwise, what's the point?
I didn't know Tetris has such a wholesome community, yet alone I didn't know this game has so much going on
Congratulations, your video is great, really enjoyed your narration. I was aware of the world of competitive Tetris but I didn't know it's resurgence was so little ago so it was very informative as well
fractal laughing at alex saying eyes wide open while he was doing his run was peak comedy too LMAO
carrrrrrr
wrr
It was wholesome but I'm sad for you if it's comedy to you
@@i-am-the-slime ?
@@i-am-the-slime what is comedy to you?
The first time I was in VC with Alex Thach, he heard an ice cream truck outside, so while staying in vc and with his camera on, he ran outside with a five dollar bill, bought an ice cream cone, and ran back inside. Truly a master of all arts, a mega master you could say.
[UPDATE: 900 likes, how fun, so I give you guys yet another Alex Thach VC story. So I was doing a challenge where I spent one week in the CTM Discord vc, It was like day three or four of the challenge and it was me with like three other people. And then Alex came into the vc to play some games and hangout. The two games that he played in VC were the back to back crashes.]
hes got the skill of a grandmaster, but will not hesitate to let his inner child out
Whats his discord?
LOL
trully world champion behaviour 😎
true
Thats some nice documentory . I watched whole video . Incredible work . Mentioning references and the editing is to totally art piece . Hats off to you .
Been watching this series of Tetris videos since the Saelee days in 2019 and I still stick around for it all, even the parts I’ve heard a million times. Awesome videos, Scout!
the little comics had me DEAD omg who is drawing these 😭😭
Same😭

it’s scout og style from 2018 come back to life
Penguniz0 should start covering NES Tetris again soon after that fucking Sky News host.

I love how genuinely supportive the whole Tetris Community gets for one another. Fractal is like everyones older brother. It's so wholesome
It actually brings tears to my eyes. I cannot help , but the community driven games and events are the best. The story sounds so great. Huge props to Alex T (and other high level competitors of course).
Greatly explained and edited video as well ! Thank you
I like how the Goal suddenly jumped from 10 million points to 20 million points here~ 32:05
fractal seems so wholesome. I remember previously seeing how happy he was when the first game crash happened, and I loved seeing him shoutout alex ts stream
When he won some tournament he gave this really wholesome speech taking a moment thanking the many parents driving the kids there and being supportive etc. heart warming dude 😊
I loved alex's attitude throughout the whole game, and the complete lack of seriousness. I am so glad you captured that both explicitly and with subtle editorial decisions, you really have grown as a filmmaker. A fitting piece on an amazing month of Tetris.
We moved like molasses in world record progression for decades. Starting from 2018 we worked our way up the ladder and the more recent world records have been quite crazy to say the least. But now the ground shakes, the CRTs switch off just before falling. The couches overturn.
2009 - 1 million
2016 - 1.2 million
2020 - 1.4 million
2024Q1 - 16 million. That's right, I removed the dot inbetween. It's that fucking impressive.
It's honestly a breath of fresh air since most speed-running/ score-hunting videos are very serious feeling. His attitude is so powerful!
To be fair, keeping relaxed IS crucial for marathons like this.
i love how the guy on the right side is actually so nice, hes like so friendly and honest, love to see people like that
Every time my understanding of Tetris is completely shattered by videos like this, another one follows suit within months and I realise just how much I STILL DIDN'Y KNOW! Coming back after BlueScuti's record video, this just gives me a more reinforced respect for this entire community. Its made me certain that even if I can't reach top tier gameplay level, keeping up with the higher speeds or aiming for the 1M score ceiling seems kind of exciting to me now. Fantastic video Scout.
His real secret was that by quoting other top players, he was channeling their energy to help him play XD
It was some avatar energy fr

You mean the line clear sfx? That's from the game
amazing video, was thrilling to watch how much passion goes into the community and the effort that went into this video
I never expected to finish a 40 mitute documentary about a game I love playing in my childhood and seldomly playing on my console today. Such a well done video. I was hooked from start to end! And kudos to Tetris community! They all seem very supportive, nice, and lively bunch
I had no intention of watching a 40 minute video today. But after what felt like 15 minutes the video was over and I was at the edge of my seat the entire time. Great job with this one.
Agreed great storytelling!
Same. I only clicked to see what it was about because it got cross posted in another community in reddit (Osu!) due to how many similarities they both have: looks, voice, way of speaking, back to back accomplishments and proving everyone how good he is, etc... One of the most hype videos I've watched in a while!
totally agree, i had no idea that this world even existed, but i found myself routing for the lil dude, and the community at large, great vid
I was gonna go to bed, I don't regret staying up
Oh wow wtf me neither… didn’t realize how long this was
Why is the production so high quality? I haven't touched Tetris once in my life but after a couple of your videos now I actually feel somewhat invested in the happenings of Tetris. Incredible videos, seriously.
Right?! I have no special interest in Tetris whatsoever and yet this video just touched me, somehow. The storytelling is amazing! And to think this isn't even a month ago!
Same for me, tetris is no game i want to play myself, but watching these people and ther journey throu the levels is amazing!
Same even though I actually keep losing interest. Yet these breakthrough videos keep dragging me back and exploding my mind ever since the Boom tetris for Jeff meme came out lol
When someone finally hits rebirth, I hope Game Scout compiles all of these videos onto one epic movie. Because that's the end right? Other than getting higher and higher world records, there's no next revolutionary chapter past rebirth? Unless...
CZcams knows what you'll like.
Ya this video is SO well done on many levels. It could really be a mini movie
My favorite part of this video is how the world champion was so happy for the kid the whole time no hate in his heart Tetris community W
This video is like perfect. It's not just the story itself, but the script, the animations, the narration, everything is just spot on. I don't know how else to describe it.
I can honestly say, I don’t think a video game has ever experienced such a massive JUMP in progression the way Tetris has in the last year. It’s insane.
Gd?
nah people have gotten good at it but that's been happening since 1.9, it's always been crazy with progress@@Vespy621

This video is the most wholesome video I've watched on CZcams. Fantastic video structure, music and commentary. 💯
Now I can’t wait for Alex T to reach level 255. Trust he will achieve this. Even his commentary is entertaining. Much respect
the mutual respect alex t has for the tetris community and the tetris community has for him is so heartwarming. this is how all competition should be
Another thing I love about this community is everyone is so supportive of one another and encourages others to break their records with no bitterness or jealousy whatsoever. Truly an incredible community and I am happy to be part of it as a fan even though I do not currently play Tetris. Just a pleasure to be around so many great people who are making this community grow and thrive more and more each day. Thanks to all of you!
I’ve heard this sort of sentiment a million times over the past many years, and it continues to be true. It’s astounding to me that a community could be that wholesome and tight knit, even with entirely new players rising to the top, but here we are.
The spirit of Jonas lives on
@@nattoeater988 RIP Jonas, LYMYMI
New sub for sure! Alex wasn't kidding when he said he was locked in, 'cause as a layman I have NO clue how u could be that focused on something that requires such a crazy processing and reaction time for that long. Hats off to him!!
Never played tetris in my life but this is some insane skill and dedication, im hooked will have to check out his stream. Great video!
Fractal cleared 800 lines of charcoal then set the controller down and popped his knuckles.
he's built different
You're fucking joking. When Scout uploads a video it's a blessing and a curse. The curse? He won't be let off easy for long - someone immediately breaks a world record and that's it, another thing to add onto his bucketlist. It happens again when Scout's well on his way to finishing the damn video.

That illustration with the stairway to rebirth, with level markers, color schemes, and bombs is so very helpful to understand what's happening. Congrats on finding such a great way to visualize it!
Yeah I'll probably never play the game but I got really invested in this video and will need an update video in the future, thanks lol
2:35 I love how he carefully sets everything down
i just love how what was once the most feared level, Charcoal, and now tetris classic pros are now to the point where they arent afraid of it and can demolish it with ease for 810 lines. Insane.
also I WANT TO SEE A CONFETTI RUN
2018... 16yo beats Jonas Neubauer, 7-time champion
2021... 16yo teaches you rolling and breaks a previously impossible record

All the screaming and memeing, Alex is such a natural showman. Zero shame or fear of cringe.
The last few months have been absolutely balls-nuts in the NES Tetris scene.

The dark levels finally fall.
BlueScuti narrowly avoids a crash.
BlueScuti crashes. 6.7 million points.
JANUARY
Fractal and Andy crash.
Andy 8.9 mil record.
MARCH

But then Alex gets 10 rollovers
APRIL
Scout is very well into finishing the video but it happens again
Alex crashes
Alex progresses into 15 million far faster than the 16 million
Alex gets another slightly higher 16 million

Hi
Same lol his videos are always top notch!
What a fantastic community - these guys have a lot to be proud of themselves for, if only for the pure respect and joy they have for eachother's accomplishments. They don't let a loss defeat them, but instead see it as an opportunity to reach further and climb higher as pioneers. Hilarious and slightly bitter that this mentality of the early internet era that I cherished is now a torch best-kept by Tetris enthusiasts of all things, but even so, I'm incredibly grateful to all of you involved. Make sure you slay that dragon - I'm cheering for your success.
Fascinating Video, I watched it all in one sitting and I loved your story telling!
the tetris competitive scene is a complete anomaly when it comes to esports. I've never seen a comp scene where it feels like people aren't competing against each other, but every competitor is spurring each other on to the ultimate goal of "beating" the game, where there aren't "winners" and "losers" in a tournament, the whole thing seems like a positive sum game that reinforces the absolutely fenominal community it has, with video games being adjacent to a lot of online abuse and negativity, to find something so against the grain when it comes to esport stereotypes puts faith in humanity for me as proof we can make something good that lasts. I hope the competitive tetris scene lives on forever into the future, and every person in its legacy be remembered wholeheartedly.
This is the same vibe that the national spelling bee in Washington DC has every year. Ultimately, it’s every contestant against the dictionary not against each other. Having been there two times with my son, it is the absolute coolest “competitive” experience. I am looking forward to going to see CTWC in Pasadena for the first time this year and seeing that same healthy competition.
So far Jayne Secker is the worst person to set foot on the Tetris community I know of. I haven't met a single person here accused or exposed of doing something unforgivably wrong.
6:51 I really like the detail where the size of the bombs represents the crash probabilities.
Having watched Alex T's live streams since this - and I've watched this video a few times now - he's improved substantially. He is our best hope to see rebirth.
Amazing video, amazing storytelling! I never knew Tetris was so competitive and communal but damn I was so invested!!
25:50 to find out this legend is supporting his family by being the best tetris player in the world... im gonna cry
Grow up. Why the hell would you CRY about some kid you never met? Or about his family you never met? Pathetic.
The completely straight faced delivery of "and he takes a milk shower" absolutely killed me
edit: Also the staircase visuals area really well done, going above and beyond for this type of video!
I love how this channel kept showing up in my feed before I was subscribed. Always a pleasure to watch. I guess I need to sub now. LOL
This was so good and so hyped to see the new Summoning Salt vid too. Tetris runners are badass.
I feel like we just got out of the Dead Ball Era and we’re seeing the Ruths and Gehrigs of Tetris come out. Very exciting.
The staircase with the players leading the funny little grey T piece was a cool touch.
Also the way you set up the 810 line greeeen level made it such a horrible revalation lol. The music you played during it made it so dreadful.
Good video as always
Yooo, that video about blue scuti I watched and enjoyed, and this new development is real world anime arcs! Great content my guy
i was thinking about how much work you have to made this video.
Congrats and good job!!!
I watched the 16 mil run on CZcams, but didn't know he broke even more records after!
Alex is a seriously impressive player and it genuinely makes me happy to watch him just demolish all these records.
(Fractal doing 800 charcoal to prove it's possible is fucking insane too!)
if the 810 line level gets the charcoal color scheme for a possible endurance record run, it's no longer "Charcoal" anymore.
It's "The Long Night".
Oooohhhh
i like this
adding onto that, if the 810 line level gets the usual dark-green color, it becomes "The Green Valley"
@@vellvet_xx I would personally nickname the 810 greeeen "Tossed salad"
This production is genuinely riveting, the subject is fascinating, and the ability of humans to achieve feats that were never meant to be paid consideration is mesmerizing.
This was fantastic. Fastest subscription in a hot minute.
What a legend. Breaking the WR - TWICE - in two days...then during the 2nd run, throwing out references to other recordholders. Just...legendary.
This is the most hype i've ever been about Tetris, this video is that well put together, thank you and thanks to Alex, the actual goat.
... Now for the salty part, I have to write it somehow or I'm gonna go insane.
Saying "this run does not count as a legitimate record" because Alex somehow avoided game crash without knowing it is the absolute most brain dead sentence you can ever write about any Tetris run. The run is there, on the same game every other player is playing, livestreamed to your face, him having this knowledge or not doesn't change this fact. The level of delusion should not be possible in this universe.
I was mad the first time this was mentioned in the video, now after the run is done I'm actually going crazy
You're absolutely right that it should count as the world record, however, you're wrong about him not knowing he was skipping the crash. He's playing on Tetris Gym, instead of an original cart, so know full well he's skipping the crashes (the uncapped score is a dead giveaway for this) - in the video he's just trolling, pretending that he doesn't know that it won't crash. If anything it makes what he does even more impressive, just spewing utter garbage the WHOLE time whilst playing games that all Tetris players before him could only imagine. You should check out the streams or full VODs, they're really fun and FULL of him just trolling and generally being wild.
usually, i skip through long videos like these, but for this video? i watched the whole thing, no skips. you kept things serious but at the same time, kept it fun. im definitely subscribing to your channel and plan to watch more of your videos.
Amazing video! So cool to see that this game keeps on evolving
I really love how some world records ended with something that caught the players offguard, Eric's first dusk, Andy's first Charcoal, Scuti's first crash, and Alex's first 810 lines being Greeeen, not Charcoal 😭. Now that everyone knows that after 810 Greeeeen, nothing can stop you from Rebirth (at least on Gym), everyone should be prepared for our first Rebirth on Gym!
Also I remember Eric's video did say that you can dodge Charcoal 810 lines by starting at a lower level on OG card, I wonder if the same applies for Gym?
it applies the same. what level you start on will always affect which 810 line level you get, even on gym
