YOO This is an awesome video man! It got me hyped up I won't lie, you're a legend
Congrats on getting the world record!
YOU are a legend!!!!
congrats!!!!!

"No, you're a Legend!"
This is like that scene of Metro Man in Megamind
Gamescout desperately trying to get this video out before the next wild and crazy record breaking thing happens 😂
it's true
I was kind and to a break…
fractal getting to colours in a tournament quali is a record of some sort (by like. 80 levels) but not as major a category

Lol
4th reply, get mad
The fact that Andy did all this WHILE GIVING COMMENTARY is insane. the focus required to play that efficiently on 29 speed while talking at the same time is crazy
It’s called being in the zone! Other professionals can do it like concert pianists.
@@pianowhizz liberace moment
hella pro
Some people actually focus better when their thoughts and ramblings are streaming out of their head!
@@raffimolero64 yeah, either way Andy is a cool bloke! He’s the Magnus Carlson of Tetris!
It's actually fucking adorable, I think, to have the two brothers being as high in the Tetris community as they both are. Like *that* is the competitive brotherly bonding of the century right there
Their interview clip together where they're like "nah, it's cool whoever wins when we play" is actually so sweet.
@FrightNFight That's how it always should be! Not the stupid "I hate my brother cause he outshines me" thing you usually see when two brothers (or just siblings in general) are both really successful in the same sport (or art).
Absolutely love to see that their successes don't get in the way of their relationship as loving and supportive family. They may compete for world championships, but at heart they're still just two brothers having a blast playing a video game together. And that's freaking awesome! 🥰
Tetris was like ingrained in their genetics 😂
Now that’s TV show/anime worthy! We need more role models like them! 😊
I wonder if their parents play the game at all? 😀
Andy going from in the shadow of his younger brother for YEARS to world record holder and top 3 player EVER is truly amazing. Getting the score world record couldn't have happened to anyone more deserving.
lol didn’t expect to see you here
I don't know... they've felt like the Venus and Serena Williams of Tetris for a long time - I never got the feeling that Andy was in the shadows as we all knew it was just a matter of time.

12:46 Spotting that T placement is one thing with Scout pausing to pose the question and without the pressure of gravity, but I have to imagine it's a tougher call at that height and at speed. Great demonstration of how well-developed PixelAndy's game sense was to respond to the circumstances!
These new discoveries and records are giving gamescout enough content for months... Not that im complaining!
For sure, there's so much to talk about 😅

Hopefully we'll get that video you were making at ATG soon. ;)

The fact that he managed this feat right after basically saying “luck doesn’t have any part in this” is the cherry on top.
"second to other people is like bro... But second to him is like BRO!"

I don't play Tetris at all, but I've been following these videos for... Geez, half a decade now! The narrative surrounding the classic game and it's community is incredible, and your presentation of it makes it all the more easy to understand and enjoyable to watch! Congrats to PixelAndy!
Wow. 🙂 I rarely play Tetris games, and about NES version, my best was ~300k on a phone emulator. (I never had a NES).
Now, still not playing, but behaving like a fan of the game, watching related videos and waiting now for confetti, desync, long level, and finally Rebirth!
saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
Lowkey same. If only I could meet this guy irl and tell him how great his videos are!
One underrated thing about Andy is how you can make the case that he's a top 5 player in EVERY SINGLE playstyle - DAS, tap and Roll. The man is just built different! I'm rooting for him to get this year's CTWC title!
This always gets me. As soon as you add needing to evolve to a new play style to even get placements proper, it's going against too much muscle memory for me to fathom making changes like that at such a high level.
Excellent editing and storytelling, the highlights of small details during the run are immensely satisfying.
Good to know who the main character is lol
That was such an anime moment. Him coaching himself and overcoming his self doubts MID GAME is so. Perfect lmao
I think this finally gets NES Tetris back to what makes Tetris a puzzle game. The kill screen is, no doubt, one of the crowning achievements of Tetris, but it's more in the marathon tradition, with no real goal beyond survival. If you go all the way back to the days of Jonas's domination, what set him apart (and what made fellow DAS player GreenTea so competitive in the hypertapping era) was incredible stacking skill. NES Tetris is inherently on the "athletic" end of the Tetris spectrum, but once you've become consistent on that front, what makes the difference is how efficiently and cleanly you can stack some blocks. Since NES Tetris is once again a finite game in practice (at least at the world record level) scoring efficiency matters again, which implies only clearing Tetrises and cleanup with singles.
I love tetris, I was once #100 on a worldwide leaderboard for a different version of tetris over a decade ago and the level of skill involved in the game now is absolutey absurd in comparison to what I was doing back then. I could not have competed in this version or in other more modern versions of tetris, with players like this truly amazing. Props to PixelAndy and the all the others.
13:10 not gonna lie, I choked up here for real. The combination of the leading up, the tetris effect theme chorus and the world record. I dont know why, it made me feel so damn emotional.
I'm super happy for PixelAndy
IRK. Was fighting back swelling tear ducts this entire video. I was good at the Atari arcade version, hated the NES version since it was not an arcade direct port and could not get anywhere on the Gameboy version. So watching theses astounding players is awe inspiring. The only thing that comes close was watching my friend back in the day complete Arkanoid: Revenge Of DOH.
u weird lmao
@@BetaAxolotl That's what I was thinking, it seemed cheesy to me lmao.
ye lol
@@Alexander_Grant When you are 58 and seeing this stuff from 40 years ago being embraced by talented people 2 generations later it bring back the nostalgic feelings you had when you were 18.
13:17
I never played a lot of Tetris Effect: Connected but that one level got me to cry when playing it and even just that little snippet fills me with so much emotion because of how well its used here
Glad someone else appreciated that
DUDE, SAME HERE
Why is this song so damn triggering for some of us? This is really curious
I am curious too. The whole game was emotional for me, and that final song is so powerful@@Kimera92
@@Kimera92 ikr, that's a fucking tetris game, but it just *makes you feel*
it's*
Amazing vid as usual David. And the overlays/infographics and ways you put the data and explanations up is alwaus improving so much. When you came to talking about the 3 phases of the game, I was sitting here going, ok, yes yes , we know this but its for newbies to the scene, waiting for 1-19 and transition, then lvl 29 etc ... and had to readjust when it was clear phase one is just now including to lvl 29 - which really sinks in how far this game moved in a mere decade and a bit since Ecstasy Doco, that it's just taken as standard play now !
this community is really cool. probably the most wholesome and just all around good i've seen.
You’re genuinely one of the best storytellers on CZcams. I never thought I’d be getting emotional watching Tetris videos but here we are. Appreciate you man!
The fact that they BOTH managed to get into the finals and they were brothers is truly incredible ❤
Man you are such an asset to this community. Another fantastic video Scout!
Love these videos. Was never really into Tetris, but I've come to find it interesting now that I've watched your WR Tetris breakdowns.
Man, I absolutely love these vids for storytelling, editing, details, music and just the wholesome vibe. (And I’m not even into Tetris that much). Great stuff, keep them coming, thank you!
Andy's rise to the top is truly inspiring. From being in the shadow to breaking world records, he's a legend in the making!

Andy is now making me cry as I’m also an older brother being shadowed by my younger brother for a long time (in academic results)
What a race! Love his movements so much.😍
THE RACE IS OVER!!! (Alex - 16.2 million - 10 rollovers!!)
Sorry Alex who? When? How are so many ppl doing this of late?
Can't wait for this weeks edition of "The Tetris World Record Just Got Shattered"
After not being a tetris fan (or so I thought), I'm way too excited for each one of these videos. You have my subscription finally. Well done
your video coverage on these events are excellent! I love that you cover things in past videos in case someone missed them before but also give nods to them as well. They're always incredibly engaging and you're the first youtuber i turn to when records get broken. PixelAndy might be my favorite story of the three of them so far, but I do love how in depth you go to introduce and properly give context to their achievements. Great videos, can't wait to watch the next one!
Your two videos on tetris world records put a smile on my face. So wholesome and actually insane achievements!
Okay, now Andy's character arc and rise will only be complete when he takes his long-earned rightful place as World Champ later this year!!
But seriously, thanks for the video Scout! Love you highlighting Andy's long history, going from being a great player somewhat in the shadow of his brother, the world champ; to a stand-out player setting staggering world records and netting regular championship wins himself. Ever since they hit the scene, I've loved the back and forth between dog and Andy, especially the part about how when they face each other in a competition, they feel like no matter who wins, they both win. I feel like everyone really "into" NES Tetris already knows it, but it's nice that that sentimental brotherly rivalry (for lack of a better word) is immortalized in your video!
Crazy how Tetris has been a competitive game for so long and 2 brothers who aren't even in their 20s just became 1st place master tier event players.
dude your videos are so well made and sooo hype. idk if you edit your videos yourself but jesus the script, editing, suspense, etc is so fun to watch. love your vids man, keep it up!
Great video as always scout. Still appreciate you helping me get involved in the scene around pandemic time. Look forward to the next insane record!
The mental capacity to be not only optimizing the piece placements but optimizing tetris suitability as well, at these speed, is nothing short of unfathomable. Major GGs to Andy.
Being that Pixel Andy had been playing for over four years before having this breakthrough, I think seeing other players hit the crash screen helped him realize how far he could push himself.
Love your editing, Gamescout. Excellent video, interesting from start to finish.
The easy to understand graphics and story telling and pacing of this video are amazing!! Without this channel I never would have known anything about competitive Tetris let alone the crazy stuff that is happening now! Great work
so nice to see that they are just good kids. being nice to each other and competing for the hell of it. love it.
amazing video. I say it every time, but the way you keep these accessible to newcomers is the a huge reason the scene keeps growing.
Thanks for summing this all up! I cannot put in words, how much I enjoy all this going on with Tetris right now. Keep it up y'all!
Your videos are SO good Scout, thank you very much. It feels like I'm watching a well produced documentary about TETRIS, which is crazy.
Andy really deserves this...... him and his brother are both very skilled and talented. I also love the sportsmanship of andy as he dosent resent his brother.
your channel is a blessing to the tetris scene. you deliver these news to the general public that does not play or watch tetris like me. i've seen many of your videos because they are just that interesting and informative.
Your coverage on Tetris has been outstanding and fun to watch. Thanks for the work.
I love the work you put into presentation of these amazing feats, stellar scoring choices and beautifully written commentary
Andy was so worried it would be broken again before the GameScout update. Thank you, G.S. !
Already rewatching this. Such great analysis of such a great achievement.
great video! i like the animated thought process at 11:25
Dude, your videos are so well done. You make it so exciting! Thank you.
Nice vid. Congrats on 100 K subscribers!
I know it might be tedious or boring to recap so much each time, but it keeps these videos incredibly approachable to people like me who don’t pay that much attention to the NES tetris scene (but enjoy it anyhow).
Much appreciated, keep up the good work!
absolute banger video.. very informative, concise and just perfect.. race to 10 million!!!.. sheesh.. imagine Tetris being this hyped up.. hahah.. love it!!!
Your videos are bringing this community to life. The story telling is insanely good. Kudos!!
This is a great video. I casually follow Tetris and this was so well put together. You and your team should be really proud of this.
man I really miss Jonas and wish he could be alive today to see where this game has come. He would have been so excited to see all these crazy records happening. back then we couldn't ever have thought any of this would be possible.
Andy always struck me as a future GOAT candidate. Even when he was overshadowed by his younger brothers' CTWC titles, I saw a lot of potential in his decision-making that went beyond anyone I have ever seen. I have high hopes for the future. Breathe and use your head, Andy. There is so much more room for growth. You can do it. Push the Limit.
Wonderful production. Thanks for your efforts
Even more impressing is how you made me watch this whole video with your commentary drawing you in... good work ;)
Tetris is going crazy rn 😂
Pixelandy is not only extremely good at the game he’s also good at commentating his games making his games very enjoyable to watch
I freaking love your tetris videos. I have watch so many. Thnx you very much sir.
What a great video dude. Fast, fun, interesting even with no prior knowledge. Really good stuff.
My son and I love your videos. So easy to understand for us non-Tetris players. My son has really fallen into it and wants to learn how to play!
Hearing Scuti's reaction to the killscreen still gives me chills
I love you
These vids are as clean as those Tetris setups! Keep up the good work
I'm 46 years old and have been a HUGE FAN of these kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These videos are made very well.
This is presented really well. I'm always happy to find a new video game video essay channel.
Great vid scout! And congats on 100k 🎉
Me 2 years ago- Cheez's record is going to take a long time before someone breaks that. lol ...well Eric broke that fast.
Me today- Andy's record is going to take a long time before someone breaks that.
Im sure in a few weeks I'll be blown away again. It's just mind-boggling how far Tetris has come.
10 million here we come
Fantastic Video, and fascinating stuff! can't get enough!
Excellent narration dude!
I just came to have a quick look at the new record holder and now, 15min later, I just realized how hooked I am by your storytelling.
Seeing Andy finally get the spotlight he has deserved for years is incredible!
Directly mentioning more content from the tetris community at the end of each video is LEGENDARY.
Yoo I'm all here for these tetris crazy world records haha. Great videos!
Never thought i would watch an 18min vid about tetris and also enjoy it this much.
Awesome video !
I love every game created meta
And tetris name something is deym cool like kill screen
Rebirt etc
the fact that he did a whole anime speech during this run just elevates it to completely new heights
What's more amazing than the record is the video editing and presentation here. I could barely care less about Tetris, but still watched the whole video because it's just so well presented.
Really well done. 🎉
You do a good job of making all of the nuance of high level Tetris make sense and sound interesting and exciting to non-players. That's awesome, dude! Good video.
Pixel Andy is killing it right now, I'm so happy as an older brother of a younger one who just ALWAYS seems to land on his feet no mattter what, I feel relate to Andy.
Glad to see him doing amazing, I would say right now he's the top player
I was about to sleep until this dropped.
I really appreciate you promoting the videos of other creators. These are the types of gaming communities that I love
Love these videos. This is great to see. I find it mind blowing just how fast the human brain and fingers can work together.
Bro literally got through a whole own redemption ark
that video is fun
as someone who hasn't watched a single tetris video in over a decade on youtube, this was a pure joy to watch. the narrative is so well-constructed that even someone who's completely new to competitive tetris can jump right in and get hyped along with decades-long fans. the build-up was great, the quick history on tetris stages, and details explaining andy's gameplay... just the right amount of interesting info without overwhelming the viewer, while also crescendoing the story right up to the climax reveal.
well done! you're a true master of the youtube form!
and subbed :)
such a good video dude love watching these
Bro Tetris players are getting crazier
12:27 7 combo lol
Best video by far bro!! Yes, “you ARE PIXEL ANDY!” Love the mindset shift. The self talk and composure is phenomenal.
Wow very beautifully filmed piece. Lovely music. Very captivating and emotional. I like it a lot
0:25 Rest in peace, Jonas.
he died?
It’s incredible how everyone in the Tetris community is pushing hard to keep it wholesome and healthy. Few gaming communities can be proud of being this free of toxicity.
That’s because it’s strictly merit based and single player so no one can force/push DEI.
Cracking summary, nice work!
I’m so glad we have you Scout to cover all of these insane record breaking moments that are happening right now! Thanks for doing what you do! Congrats Andy - watching that game live had me so hyped 🎉
