    I've started to take the psychological advice into account when I play and get a huge pace. I have a tendency to keep going full throttle and lose it altogether. Tonight I played a bit safer, but probably too safe when I saw my pace. However, I just set a new PB of 948,619. Keep up the great work!

    One thing I really like about Classic Tetris is that there is no looming feeling if there will be support from the developers for a new game in the future. NES Tetris is like 30 years old and everyone in the community knows that THIS is the game to play. They don’t worry about there being a capable sequel in the future to keep their game alive like in every other competitive scene. That usually leads to splintering and toxicity within the community. They just get to play their game and focus more on their tournaments for years to come.

    I just want to say that Scout is such a good interviewer. He comes to the conversation prepared, he asks questions that continue the conversation, and that tells a story, everything relates to the previous question, or takes you down a narrative around a core idea. His presence is noted, but not overbearing, and seems to make his guests feel comfortable. Just want to shout that out.

  • @ianKanetsu
    @ianKanetsu 3 года назад +33

    Really nice presentation of maxouts and what it takes to get it. Personally, I think this is one of the best videos to learn how to actually get it. I always thought of getting 300k consistently in 19 starts helps you, but 450k by 100 lines in the same level works, too. Again, really nice video from you and Sharky!

  • @bandgeek0622
    @bandgeek0622 3 года назад +18

    I started playing with pretty much no experience in January 2019 with the intention of maxing out before 2020 (I haven't gotten it yet, but so far I have a PB of around 620k). The one piece of advice I can give is that there is no time limit on getting that score. Don't get discouraged by people that do it in like 6 months (especially if you use das) because the majority of people take years to get it. It's a weirdly difficult achievement in gaming because it's so simple, yet the skill gap to actually get it is way bigger than is initially perceived. There's so much nuance and depth that cannot be explained in a 20 minute video that you can only get through practice.

  • @michutetris6502
    @michutetris6502 3 года назад +25

    The curve of improvement is getting steeper and steeper... and steeper as you're trying to boost your high score. The milestone score for me (as a DAS player) was reaching the first 600k, which finally happened after about a year of grinding. This score means you are getting consistent on 18 and can do 'something' on 19+. After that it took me about 2-3 months to reach my first 900k. Since that time I've been grinding a lot and thinking about giving up on getting my first maxout ever. Still haven't got it. Will I ever get it? I don't know... hopefully will be back with you when I finally succeed. It's so hard and the only thing that holds me now is the willpower. Just... don't give up and maybe... one day. Thank you for your video ;)

    I'm glad you discussed what it takes to get a maxout in depth. Especially the psychological aspect of it, I think anyone that starts to play NES Tetris needs to learn that part. There were times where I get frustrated because I have not beaten my personal best. I realized that it would be best for me to take a break.
    Although, my break from Tetris involves speedrunning Dr. Mario. Everyone has there own way of taking a break from Tetris.

    @VideoNOLA 3 года назад +7

    15:00 You might want to explore whether simply participating in online streaming allows players to "turn off" the part(s) of their brain that had previously stood in the way of higher scores. How many aspirants achieve Max Outs for the first time while streaming? I'd say a surprising number. Think there's a correlation? I do. Guys like Joseph and Sharky can hold a running conversation (left brain) while playing an on-pace game (right brain), so perhaps the Zen of Tetris depends on distracting the Top Out portion of one's brain circuitry!!?

    Thanks for the informative video! I really appreciate highlighting the psychological factor that plays into getting a maxout. I don't really play nes tetris that much (maybe once or twice a month) so every time I sat down to get a maxout, I would get 1.1 or 1.2 pace, only to throw it away at 900k on level 25 lol. Today I sat down and threw away the 1.1/1.2 pace and safely got my first maxout! :)

    Here's some interesting things I researched.
    The theoretical earliest you could max out at would be level 22 with 170 lines cleared (not including push down points).
    The maximum theoretical score prior to the kill screen without push down points would be 1,490,400 points. (Displayed E90,400 on the scoreboard). Since the highest score is 1,357,248 as of 2020, it's going to be even tougher to claw that 133,000 off, let alone the luck needed to pull that off!

    • @ITZsharky1

      Maximum theoretical score at killscreen is actually 1.5. There is approximately 750 on both 18 and 19 that you can score

    I definitely understand the idea of not changing your stacking when you switch from DAS to hypertap. A lot of time I always think that I can survive higher than I actually can when I try to perform hypertap but actually I can’t even tap constantly at 12-13hz lol, and I can’t react so fast when I see the next piece so I always mess up at 19 speed🤦‍♂️

Perhaps someone could post a more technical examination of this technique , with slow-motion analysis, and an explanation of exactly when the quick tap happens. Or if that's already been explained in a video, a link to that video. Thanks!

    • @aGameScout
      @aGameScout  3 года назад +3

      I explain it in a little more detail in the 19-5 video. At some point I will probably make an exhaustively complete video on DAS that talks about it at a game mechanics level, but it will be a lot of work.
      Basically, with fully loaded DAS, the pieces will move to the side one column after 1 frame, and then one column for every 6 frames afterwards. A quick tap is when you lift up your finger and tap a second time right before the final column you want to get to, and take advantage of the first side movement being 1 frame. If you time it perfectly, the final movement will only take 2 frames. You can look at the animation in the video for a demonstration.

I realised there is a small preview-window, which shows the next piece, but looking at that and then moving my focus back to and reacting on the board.. i was just too slow.

    I wonder what is the *hardest* way to get a maxout and the hardest maxout ever achieved?
    And im not talking only about a killscreen maxout, but something like left well only maxout (someone did it if i remember correctly) or high input delay maxout emulator maxout etc

    • @ITZsharky1
      @ITZsharky1 3 года назад +1

      Harry did left well only in 2009. Plenty of people have emu maxes and LCD maxes (me included) maxouts from every level. Maxout with only one button presses.

      It’s hard but watching this video illustrates ways that you can strive closer to getting the max. As of right now we sit somewhere around 220 conformed maxout players :)

    Now instead of 999999 as a high score, some have letters from the alphabet as numbers.
    Like A=10 for example.
    I like that way of score.

    Hi David, I'm a pretty new nestris player. I have been practicing nes Tetris on an emulator because I can't get my hands on a nes (yet).
    I can play half decently on lvl 18 with a couple tetrises but I can't play on 19 only able to score 1 Tetris on 19. do you have any tips to help? I just want to be consistent on 19. Thanks and keep making awesome Tetris content

    • @aGameScout
      @aGameScout  3 года назад +2

      You just have to do 19 starts over and over and over again until you are consistent with skill stops. Slowly you will train your brain to recognize what moves are possible and get the timing down to get the pieces where you want. Getting proficient on level 19 at the beginning is all about knowing what moves are possible

    What's the best way to be able to play on higher speeds? I can't consistently play on 15 without topping out quickly, alot of the time I wait half the falling time before making my decision which makes me misdrop alot, and not have enough time for the next piece. I can't really hypertap because im an emulator keyboard player rn.

    • @ITZsharky1
      @ITZsharky1 3 года назад +4

      So for you, you need to work on making decisions quicker. It seems like you struggle with being decisive on your placements leading you to fall behind on the decisions related to the piece in the next box. Best way to get better at this is to do both play more and watch more Tetris to see stacking patterns that can be integrated into your play up to a point where it becomes sub-conscience stacking.

      Yeah i know for a lot of people its a huge barrier. But once that barrier is broken (and much less shattered once you have like 10-15 maxes) it becomes a lot easier to score 1.0-1.1

    Does playing on Nes on a Cwt really make fhe difference?
    I play on emulator and I'm Italian, so it's pretty hard for me to find an ntsc console and cartridge

    • @ITZsharky1
      @ITZsharky1 3 года назад +4

      Mainly makes a difference if you are DAS. A crt will have 0 input latency while anything else can have 6 8 10 or more frames of latency. This really has an impact on lv 18 and especially lv 19+ play

      You can buy a clone console very cheaply (around 30 euros), which will play the same as a real console. Just the game sounds may be a little different. Plus, almost every European CRT will play NTSC in black and white, which is actually not harder than playing in colour, and still much better than playing on emulator. NTSC cart will also only cost you around 10 euros. Definitely worth it in my opinion
