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.
"such a moment is cause for celebration, so Alex T starts chugging parmesan cheese and pouring it on his head" stellar commentary LOL
Huge shout-out to the real MVP who unlocked Alex's full power: THE GLOVE
Alex finally deciding to main Rolling (and then again with the glove on) has big "removing my training weights" energy.
Bro got told his 9.9 million didn't count and proceeded to demolish the entire NES Tetris record list.
Fractal is the final boss who's also the supportive big brother.
Hearing Alex T quote Tetris greats, as he gets a higher and higher level count, and watching Fractal just laugh is too hilarious
I love how the Parmesan shower is described so casually like it's only natural
lol the terrifying mood change when discovering 800 lines was greeeen
Gotta say, mad respect for Fractal. Multiple times, he's seen records he was going for achieved live by other people, and he's not just a good sport about it, but actively excited that someone was able to do it. That combination of skill and community solidarity is a rare combination (at least in general, I'm not that tuned into the NES Tetris community), and that type of attitude is what keeps communities going in the long run.
29:20 The cinematic shot of "Greeeeen" is rightfully horrifying
Alex just won the 2024 Championship!
Him quoting other players is like him contacting the past avatars
I love how genuinely supportive the whole Tetris Community gets for one another. Fractal is like everyones older brother. It's so wholesome
He didn't just break all the records, he entertained us while he did it. That's pretty cool.
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.
Him quoting the ones to go before him really makes this. The kids a legend and gave the moment the respect it needed 😂
fractal laughing at alex saying eyes wide open while he was doing his run was peak comedy too LMAO
I don’t play Tetris and I couldn’t even understand half of the things explained about the game but this was sooo entertaining to watch. Learning about Alex T’s journey made me tear up when he finally beat the world record. Felt like a proud mom😅 Such a legend!
