My claim to fame is that around level 40, in the livestream, I wrote, "I have a funny feeling about this game." What a thrill to watch it live. That dig!!! -John
I am both surprised and not surprised that you would be a tetris nerd
Yeah, you don't expect John Green to watch a live tetris game 😂. Anyway congrats on your achievement!
John Green can lower drug prices on TB and get people to beat Tetris. This man is a lucky charm!
When world collide! Can't believe John Green is the top comment!
My claim to fame is that after the game ended and you gifted subs, I received one. - Elle
the recovery from the misdrop at 33:15 is the greatest clutch moment i have ever seen in any game, hands down
Yeah that was absolutely insane. Dude is recovering on killscreen in the top half, absolutely nuts
Underrated comment
Hey @lumbud84 Can you explain to me ? Blue Codi was the first one to defeat Tetris right ? but he achieved it on 157 Leve? which was the second possibility of defeating the game he missed the first one which here Fractal161 broke it ? So he's the fastest to defeat the game?
Once he gets back to bottom he utters "yea I can do it"... if he can survive that... why not? Absolutely unreal that this has been accomplished.
It was crazy but nothing beats EVO moment 37 in terms of clutch
You are still the first person to trigger it at lvl 155, just like you intended from the start. Thats pretty amazing 👍
Blue did it 157 so he won
@@Jason_Bover9000and? Did you read his comment or just trolling?
@@Jason_Bover9000 Do you break down everything into winners and losers? Life should be about cooperation not competition.
You stooopid? He got it at a lower level, but he wasn't the first one.
@@peecee1384life should be about healthy competition, sometimes in the form of cooperation
And just like that, Killscreen% Tetris speedruns were born.
And surely, Fractal IS the first speedrunner of Tetris, period.
Maybe Scuti can be considered a speedrunner too since he was the first one, but remember, Fractal did clear the level in 155. Which is a quicker way to kill the game.
@@rutomedsThat’s too technical for non players of the game. Most will remember only the kid that beat Tetris.

I more likely think everyone who beats Tetris will be remembered, as if beating it would be like winning the world championship. Like an hall of fame

If you happen to not be familiar with these, these are the names of the Glitched Colors. Eventually, when going into Tetris long enough, you will encounter the Glitched Colors. These colors represent a stage where the color palette changes from the 10 already made into glitched ones. These colors were never meant to be in the game, and Nintendo never even saw it coming, since they never expected anyone to ever get this far.
Dusk and Charcoal have ended runs that would've gotten further due to being dark and hard to tell the difference between the background.
@@AAW_YTwait, so they don't have green or red or the ridiculously long level?
I'll never forget how the same GOAT who got me through grade 12 math is also one of the dudes who got to game crash. big congrats fractal!
Cheers man! Glad I could help
wr
Yeah I know him too he's a great ballet dancer
I'm also one of his blood cells W
Is it because he’s Asian? Racist
Fun fact: my thumbnail is not from this game, but it *is* something that can actually happen!
Congratulations! Crazy to witness history so early!
Congrats! I sadly came a few minutes to late to see it happen live.
So you clickbaited and lied. This is an unacceptable thing to do and I can’t believe you would use your platform and authority to promote such a heinous act. Shame. Unsubscribed
Bro, you don't need to prove to anybody that you are awesome, but yeah... pls go get 8 million points!
@@trapzone707 real!!
Both fractals161 and blue scuti are absolute legends in my book. Way to go guys!
I'm just gonna say. I was 4 years old when Tetris released, and 5 the first time I played it.
Its crazy for me to be seeing you awesome young fellas crushing this game the way you are. Nobody would have believed anything like this was remotely possible back then.
Amazing stuff, well done
This is such a better response than all the ones claiming that crashing the game was commonplace in the 90s.
This dudes a grown adult, blue scuti is the only young fella and he’s number 1
@@Duomonnnnnthat doesn’t make his achievement any less impressive, crashing the game ain’t no easy task bud
I literally only learned about this from agamescout's recent video on scuti's crash. Now I'm fascinated. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your achievement here.
Same haha
Same
same
Same!
Same
I know everyone is freaking out about Scuti, but I enjoyed seeing you inspire him to try and both of you supporting each other in these moments. Now you hit it as well. This is history in the making fr
Oh so this is a new record apart from Scuti? I’m confused is it about who gets to a further level now? Or who gets it to crash before?
@@IAmJekaI believe 155 is the first level a crash state can be reached...after that there are various different crash's that can happen all the way up to level 255 and if a human could get that far and avoid all the crash states from level 155 to 255 the game actually resets and starts from the beginning! The Tetris community figured all this out by breaking down the game code and programming bots to do perfect runs...to say these guys are dedicated is an understatement...
So this run here was trying to get the game to crash on the first possible place which is like 155...Scuti missed the first crash opportunity on his play and got the crash at level 157...
No doubt these guys will come up will a bunch of new ways to keep pushing...like fastest to hit crash state or highest score before crash or see how many levels they can get through while avoiding the crash...
I think when he heard that Scuti was about to beat the game he stopped his current attempt at that time and excitingly went to watch Scuti beat Tetris.
That showed me where his heart is that although being able to do it first is great he's still happy to witness the game to be beaten for the first time even though not by him 😊.
The sportsmanship shown by high-level players of the game is surely nice to witness and the game finally being beaten would surely bring in new players in their journey to beat the game at the highest level 😮.
@@p0llk4t07thanks for sharing. Yea I did see a video of a guy explaining that and a ai code that got to level 255 (thought it was 257 but you may be right) were it crashed and then another RUclips did the whole thing equation of when is it likely to crash. He also explain why what scuti did was so big but how others, including the guy in the video were watching now, had a big part on getting the technique and the opportunity for scuti to do what he did.
With that being said, what I’m wondering now is what they’re aiming for. What makes them better? Lol
@@IAmJekait’s 255 because the levels are stored as an 8-bit integer, meaning the highest value it can hold is 255.
BIG CONGRATS! I always want to say that the way that your reacted to Scuti's kill screen reflects so well on you as a person. Both of you were reaching for the same goal, and your reaction to him reaching it first is JOY, which is exacty how it should be. I am wishing you the absolute best in life.
You know what's funny is even though I knew he did it I still had to catch my breath and I pumped my fist so hard when it was over. Also props to Fractal for wearing his heart on his sleeve about the pressure of it all. I hope getting this out of the way will let him go back to just plain old enjoying the game.
That dig at lvl 128 was absolutely insane 🎉
My heart was racing watching that happen. Can't even imagine how he kept it together.
Thanks, I appreciate it.

I don't care how specialised your muscle memory is, or how many hours you've played this game...... science needs to study the brains of people who do this. It's in my opinion.... SUPERHUMAN
Not to talk down on classic, but have you seen how fast the fastest players of modern tetris play? Thats my definition of Superhuman brain for tetris.
I'm a modern tetris player but love watching Classic Tourneys, and watching classic tetris players achieve this type of stuff is beyond fascinating!
Tetris4Ever!
@@shinzo1455 Apples and oranges, bro. Totally different mechanics between the two versions of the game. It is INSANELY hard to play Classic Tetris at this speed.
@@shinzo1455
Classic Tetris is so much harder imo…

wrr
Congrats man! The race between you and Scuti has been huge for the NES Tetris community! You've made a fan out of me, someone who was ignorant about all of this just a little while ago! If the whole community is like you and Scuti, NES Tetris players are genuinely some of the most well-adjusted people to friendly competition I've ever seen :)
To me, this is actually super satisfying to watch. He's so good that he almost always puts the pieces in the most perfect spot, so much faster than I can see it. It's like he makes the right move every time. It just feels good. And if there is a mess up, it's corrected and wiped away so fast. I thought it was going to be nerve-racking to watch, but it's the total opposite. It actually gives me a very peaceful feeling. Well done 👏
Your response to Scuti’s run showed your character. My respect for you jumped straight to the moon, man.
You’re a gentleman, and a Tetris badass. Congratulations!!
Yea it’s probably tough to see something you worked so hard on get beaten by a literal 13 year old
@@Duomonnnnn so what about the age? They both came into the same era where rolling was discovered as technique, just at different ages, at the same time. Besides, Fractal didn't match the first person to beat it, he did it on an earlier level. Both of their successes didn't come by only their skill and determination. Others contributed to the knowledge base that came to make these situations happen.
@@Duomonnnnn I knew nothing about the competitive Tetris world before Scuti hit that Lock Screen. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since then, it’s that Tetris players are the skate boarders of the gaming world. Cool as heck, welcoming to newbies, and always ready to celebrate a friend’s success.
@@CivicFiberglassDoor another fractal fanboy cope 😂 dude it was never once about who got the “earliest” crash, that was a record made up by fractaltards after they realized he lost to a 13 year old, stop trying to make up random specific conditions to the record to make it seem like he’s the winner and take away from scutis achievement…. it was always about who got to kill screen first, blue scuti got first (winner) and fractal got second (loser), cope with it, if fractal wants to get a record he should start grinding for rebirth, if not he needs to bow down to king scuti and respect greatness, blue scuti is da 🐐, fractaltards seethe
@@LanceCSTCuddy lol do you even skate? That couldn’t be further from the truth, skaters kids are punks who hate newbies (especially scooter kids) coming to the park and are usually pretty uptight, I know because I am one lmao
even after three years, jonas neubauer would still be utterly mind-blown. at the time he died, i thought it would be at least another decade since then to reach even colours, let alone this true killscreen
True. Like Jonas once famously said: "the end game is beyond humanity's existence"
We're witnessing some of the most significant history EVER being written.

just wanted to say the same.
yea, after 30 years, it was firstly beaten!!!!
and after it, it is beaten again.
I just don't believe on such fortunes
I think it is, because they recently discovered a way to pass the levels and be able to glitch the game, in fact the boy who got it first and this one, were streaming on Twitch to see who do It first.
??? @@applejacks8160
What's really odd is that none of them actually beat the game.
The game beat itself & commited suicide LOL.
Let's be real here...
Congrats to you and Blue Scuti! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Nothing can take your accomplishments away!!!
35:29 the beat dropping at the exact moment you reached level 138 was so satisfying for some reason
Jonas would be SO proud of what you and Scuti have achieved.
All Jonas...‽ 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤨
That is so absolutely incredible.
The reaction times with the incredibly small room for error was must have felt like the world was on your shoulders which you got through in fantastic style.
You did amazing, congratulations and hoping that you get far with this.
It's incredible.
Came here from aGameScout's video. This run is going to be just as significant and memorable as Blue Scuti's! Especially with that massive black hole at 33:15 that you cleared!
Also massive kudos for using Kohta Takahashi - Move Me from Ridge Racer!
I am here just to tell you, that i respect you enormously, for dropping your game to go watch BlueScutti his run, and cheering on for him. Even tho you got second place, which is just as amazing, your name won't be remembered AS much. But i do want you to know that you are very much admired. You're a beast, don't ever let anybody twll you otherwise.
"Your name won't be remembered" I bet that line hurts 😅
@@moon_orbit Aw come on, people still know who Buzz Aldrin is, kinda...
This thread forgetting that Fractal is the current world tournament champion. He's not some runner up.
@@KrovaSteam The thing is though that on TV worldwide they got Scuti as the one so yeah .. everyone will remember him for being the first
@@bestofmusicchannel but fractal is the better player and will get a higher score eventually, even though scuti did it first it wont last
Congratulations Fractal! So well deserved and so hype
A comment from gamescout and no reply's. let me change that
One day i hope to see the "rebirth scene" reached by a human. Fractal, Scuti, Eric, Andy, Dog, Alex and others, they are sure capable of it. Reaching rebirth scene would be the ultimate beating of tetris
@@kingyodah5415the craziest thing about that is that you start to see wild crash states where just getting a certain piece on screen has a 75% chance of triggering it!
I just discovered your efforts. You seem incredibly humble and hard working. Congrats on the monumental achievement
I've been watching a few Tetris videos lately and I just want to say that it is very heartwarming seeing how eager you are to help everyone move forward, not just yourself. We need more people like you in the world.
Voyage 1970 is an absolutely crazy song to end this run on
I know right, and it fits thematically so well too!
For real
Really amazing, got me off guard
Next up, beating the red death level 255. Make it happen!
Not sure how long that will take, at least on Vanilla NES Tetris.
It gets progressively harder to avoid crashing the game during the last 100 levels of tetris, and it would be not only a test of skill and memorization, but it would also likely require a lot of RNG with the pieces.
On the Modded version of Tetris most pros use, however, it's certainly a possibility, and I think we could see someone get it this year.
@@MaxHumphreysMaxHumphreys according to the crash route, there are actually quite a few levels that are completely safe. One of which is 800 lines.
To me it seems that the biggest challenge is switching from "singles will kill the game" which happens between 155-164 to "singles are the only safe line clear" for the remainder of the levels is the big challenge.
The 800 lines level is luckily very playable.
People have managed no hit runs of the entire soulsbourne series, which lasted 16 hours, given enough motivation, people will beat level 255.
That said, if nobody attempts it, it'll take years for it to happen, but if Dog, Andy, Scuti and Fractal keep at it, I see it happening sooner, rather than later to be honest.
The only thing stopping it, would be the community deciding that efficiency before 155 is the way to go and to let the game die intentionally at that point.
Its impossible bc all the squares are red
@@janzwendelaar907I like how the 800 line level contrasts to the 255 hell level. 800 lines level has a green color pallette and gives you a lengthy grace period with no crashes, while 255 just tries to crash the game in every way possible with a red color pallette
They're basically opposites
@@gdmathguyTo me it shows the art of programming. The choices someone made 34 years ago, led to three unique bugs happening after a certain point in time. First the normal colours are gone, then the memory goes wrong and then the amount of lines that consist a level get messed up.
Yet throughout all of this, the game is still playable. Once you've cleared all these hurdles, finally the colour glitch and the crash glitch mash together into one final amalgamation of errors to try and stop you, before you get back to level 0 in complete silence and everything is back to normal.
Absolutely thrilling to watch. Your digging is the best I've ever seen. I bet Jonas was watching you from another dimension and cheering you on together with the rest of us!
All those people who played Tetris. They put everything they got into it. It's really nice to see people played this year still.
I had legitimate chills when the music cut out at 1,479 lines. Incredible game Fractal, can't imagine what the future has in store for both you and the game of NES Tetris.
Me too. I felt it all over. It was like my first kiss. Like the first touch of a woman. Like that time I went outside. Truly amazing.
Cobalt, you haven't made a video about this yet. Chop chop
I can, at least for this guy. A life of living in his parent's basement, living off of them, being single, eating Cheetos, getting fat, and dying alone.

@@lennartjuhhwhat
This is the equivalent of the 4 minute mile. Congrats Fractal, for being such a wonderful player both for yourself and what you said about Scuti. 🎉
I was looking for this comment, the 4 minute mile was as much a mental barrier as a physical one. Just like this
Exactly man! That's what came to my mind when I realised it took 34 years for one human to beat it and then in a few day 2 more people beat it! Shit!!! It's truly insane and spine chilling, how what we humans can achieve when we throw away the "impossible" from our minds. Damn 🎉❤
I love the way you edited music in at the end of your run. Really adds to the feeling of intensity. And I’ve been listening to techno for decades, so I’m a fan.
Such insane precision. Congrats on the achievement man! You and Scuti are seriously inspirational. I hope to watch you push the boundaries on how far it's possible to get in the future!
Blue Scuti is the first to get the second crash, you're the first to get the first crash, now someone needs to get the 3rd and so on.
Congrats!
And then it just ends when someone gets the true ending at level 255

@@minecrafter3448reaching level 255 will be imposible even if you use ia because there will be a moment that it will crash and the colors will starts to glitch more and more
@@SamirraadrIt may still be possible. Everyone thought that getting to this point was impossible before, but look at what we've witnessed! 😄
I saw a video out there warning about the high probability of crashes, but it explained that there are ways around some of them. Such as flashing the Next box off then back on with the right timing (with the Select button, IIRC). Then Fractal himself commented on it that there's discussion in the community about using an official piece of Nintendo hardware that allows use of 4 controllers on one console, & that pressing something on controllers 3 & 4 at certain times may also be able to bypass some of the crashes.
We live in an exciting time, where human limits are being broken repeatedly. Don't give up hope so easily. The "impossible" has become possible several times now. I think it's only a matter of time & perseverance before we finally see the Rebirth ending. 🙂
@@Samirraadr level 30 was once thought to be impossible, even though it was entirely in the realm of possibility. Level 255 is entirely in the realm of possibility, players just have to get better.
It feels awesome witnessing Tetris History as it happened.
I watched AGameScout's video on BlueScuti's record when it happened, and then I started watching Fractal as he got his record.
Congrats on this amazing accomplishment, Fractal!
Go check out pixelandy he just cleared it as well today
Much respect my dude. You take gaming seriously and deserve recognition. Tetris is a staple and one of the most iconic games in history and YOU BEAT IT. Absolutely amazing
This is absolutely amazing. I never thought to see the second person to beat Tetris. You earned a new subscriber. Keep up the good work and stay strong and positive.
congrats, fractal! you've cemented your place in NES tetris history as a CTWC champion, a score WR holder, and now you've crashed the game... super hyped to see what more you're capable of 🎉

@@michaelhenry-hurst2787
This should be the now called the holy trinity or Triple Crown of classic Tetris, reserved for very few players
@ttg7800 no the kid even says it and he says in the video "I became the second person "
@@BrndnNZT48 Fractal went for the 'earliest possible crash' which is a single line clear if you transition from lvl 154 to 155, and which he thus achieved in this run.
Blue Scutti missed that single line transition during his game. He even realized that and said 'I missed it' went he did a 3 line clear to transition into lvl 155, which does not cause a crash. And a bit later he even said 'please crash' as he wasn't sure at which point the game could crash after that.
So it's just a different achievement as Fractal is the first person to achieve the earliest, 'most efficient' type of crash.
me and my friend witnessed this live, we were really shocked when you saved that misdrop shown at the start and then more when you did it, congratulations!
Wow. It's truly amazing you witnessed this live. I hope you will cherish that memory for life!

efficient crash = crash at level 155 (aka first opportunity)
dunno who came up with the terminology, it's been established prior, heard Fracal himself say "will go for efficient crash now". 🤷
the fact that Scuti almost fumbled his big chance at being the first, then securing it nonetheless, and at the last opportunity possible before topping out on level 157, and now Fractal getting the level 155 crash, it's all just part of a great story with more good stuff to come, enjoy! 😄

Congrats man! Super stoked to have been there to watch it live.
That's probably the most impressive thing I've seen on RUclips and that's saying something. My brain cannot compute fathom or comprehend how that is done. You're a machine
All of the congratulations! Your sportsmanship cheering on your rival earlier and now watching you claim the faster time is the stuff speedrunning is made of. So very well deserved :D
35:30 the timing of the drop with the glitched colours😂
I was there to see this live. Chat went nuts! What an edge of our seat run! Congratulations again to you. The skill alley is very narrow but the words you and Scootie both gave where very encouraging to the community. I recommend that focus be given to crash screen evasion practice ROM now that this has been accomplished. We are far from out of the woods on NES Tetris. We are at the edge of a new playing field entirely where actions must be deliberate and calculated beyond what's currently been done.
Congrats on your victory! I love how kind and helpful you are as a person. Thank you for sharing your journey and your joy 🤩
Dude! Admittedly I'm new to beholding incredible marvels like this video. Words utterly fail to express the amazement, stupor and disbelief I just experienced!!! Congratulations can't begin to do you justice!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
incredible achievement, incredible video, so happy for you gosh. yeah, rewatching this after seeing it live was totally worth :) god what an epic moment, what a story. I'm like, so excited to see the new videos you're making
Voyage 1970 fits this to a tee, such an insane achievement. GG!
Great job! Was also really impressed at your great sportsmanship when Blue Scuti made his crash run. Great stuff ;)
Truly impressive work on your part - the hours put in practicing and honing. Exceptional, exceptional, exceptional.
gg man, it was such a treat to get to catch this live! Well deserved.
Watching this live, along with PixelAndy and Dog's streams, was something else. GG indeed!
was a fun time last night for sure!
You are an absolute legend, congratulations man. I hope more can recognize your achievement.
Congratulations man. One of the greatest achievements in the history of video games. You're a GOAT
Congrats on an incredible achievement!
I was particularly amazed at your survival and recovery around lvl 128-130. Amazing skills and insane composure considering the stakes.
Congrats in getting level EA. You need to pay money to get through that level
Then pay extra to unlock all of the pieces with the I piece being a super rare lootbox drop.
i just love how he enters the glitched colors right before the beat drops
I only began diving into this scene with the first game crash but I just want to say I already have so much respect for you and Blue Scuti. Practice, dedication, community driven progress, friendly competition, a simple premise that unveils its infinite complexities the more you push its limits, things once thought not just impossible but 2 steps beyond impossible then being done. This, stories like these is to me in its purest form is what it is to be human.
It's absolutely amazing how simple the game and idea of tetris is while still remaining to be one of, if not the, most complex games ever to exist.
I just found out the history behind this run to crash the game from agamescout's video, and soon after you dropped this. What a timing hahahah
Congrats on the achievement! That recovery was insane!
You are a true Tetris ambassador 👏 You deserve the exact same respect that Blue does.
Congrats man. That was a beautiful game. That was art, mastery, and sport at its finest
Watched this live and the dig out from the misdrop on level 128 was incredible! That took some amazing skill and coolness under pressure. I also can't believe Fractal played Dusk and Charcoal so cleanly!
Check out pixelandy he just best it too
Was crazy to watch this live! GGs, crazy to see this happen less than a month after the first one was achieved.
Pixelandy just achieved as well
Love the addition of music in post, both the timing of the beat from standard to glitched palettes, and the final stretch pulling from a Touhou final stage. Solid choices to go with solid gameplay!
hey, i just wanted to say that i saw aGameScout's video earlier today entirely by coincidence. it just showed up and i thought, "sure, that seems interesting." and it was so cool! im not a long-time fan of tetris, its not something ive ever given much thought to, but seeing how you and the other top players have dedicated so much time and energy to mastering this game and not only that, but mapping it out and figuring out how it ticks and everything is just so cool to me. to know that people like you are doing things that you enjoy and doing such cool things. idk, i just think its really cool to see people who are proficient in something i have little to no knowledge or expertise in because they're doing things ive never thought about before and thats just so cool to me
Amazing job Fractal! Also, the music drop right at glitched colors was perfect!
Congratulations boy. You are so gifted!!
You are so great :)
Congrats to your killscreen moment Fractal! I remembered your reaction to Blue Scuti and I had a feeling you were going to hit it next. This is an achievement - celebrate it! ❤
Congrats to You & the community of Tetis gamers. 🏆
I’ve recently seen numerous videos on Tetris recently, all of the stories are well done showcasing the work in progress to achieve this point in story.
I love how he has a smile on his face the entire way through, legend.
Huge congratulations to you! The second ever Tetris win!
absolutely insane, could never dream of that, insane to see you finally get here keep up the amazing work!
It's like driving a racing car.
Spectators feel that the car is so fast but the driver can control it at ease and turn whatever he wants.
WOW the colour schemes look soo cool. What a nice reward for getting to the end of the game .Its like you are going through a worm hole.
Not really a Tetris player, but this is so impressive its mesmerizing. Huge congrats !
I would like add my voice to the list of people the congratulate you on this achievement AND highlight the person you are in how much support you showed for another player.
Watched the aGS video is how I saw the class act that you are, putting aside the competition to show joy for someone in the same race.
Equal achievements in my book.
Great job at being human.
huge congrats dude! So happy your ruthless dedication brought you to this point. very excited to see more of your content in the future :)
Congrats!! You're helping set one of the biggest ever milestones in this game. Major props for Voyage 1970!
How fitting when voyage 1970 music hit on dusk and through the end of the run. Feels like the end of an LNN on Touhou 8. Congrats on the first earliest crash!
Music was added post
I thought the dig on level 52 was pretty amazing, then to see that one from level 129-132 was just insanity. Well deserved Fractal, amazing game.
Congratulations on your achievement! You and Scuti are history makers!
What are the odds that after all these years the first 2 people to ever beat Tetris would do so within about a week of each other. Life is crazy sometimes.
Edit: someone else just beat it 2 hours after I posted this so make that 3 people 🤣
Because its bullshit

@@sorvex9bullshit as in its a lie?
I started watching this video assuming it was just a parody of the 13 yo one also from this week. Wow.
@@MattPilz this guy was racing the 13 yr old for a while on who could do this first. the kid beat him but he still did it himself anyway cuz when ur in 2nd u don’t stop running when 1st crosses the line
The definition of skill….. impressive work.
This whole story is bringing me immense joy! Huge W Congrats!
Congratulations! Another milestone for you and we are all happy for you. =)
This is amazing! Congrats on beating it man. That must’ve used a lot of effort.
Jesus Christ dude, this is a joy to watch. You must have practiced so hard for this to happen.
I couldn't be happier for you, really to have caught the popular eye as well.
Fully justified and deserved acclaim, in an age of pointless TikToks. This is AMAZING.
Congratulations. This game's been around since i was a kid, and your generation has absolutely blown me away. Congratulations on your accomplishment!! 🎉🎉
You are the earliest crash and the first human to reach this earliest crash ever, let's go!!!
That doesn’t matter and never was what it was about 😂 it’s about who did it first and that was scuti, he’s second place and a loser, nothing more about ir
