Game news The 13-year-old who broke the world record at Tetris has waged a merciless war against the entire world.
Having achieved the impossible when he was just 13 years old, he sparked a fierce battle that is currently taking place among all speedrunners. Who can beat this young player? War has been declared.
You've probably heard about it: A 13-year-old gamer has broken an impressive record playing Tetris on the NES. While everyone thought it was impossible to beat this title, he actually achieved the feat. Upon reaching level 157, he crashes the game by causing what is called a “real kill screen”. This is an even more impressive feat because the game gets faster and faster and the colors, starting at level 146, get duller, making everything more difficult. So, thanks to a lot of training, Blue Scotty, whose real first name is Willie, was able to accomplish this feat.. In other words, he had to develop techniques to overcome what no one had been able to achieve yet.
His prowess is shared by many media outlets, extending beyond the realm of video games, earning him unflattering comments. Last week, a British journalist belittled the young man's achievement by saying that he should stay away from the screens and go out to get some fresh air. Fortunately, the feedback on this performance has been very positive. Not only did it launch a certain craze in speed racing, but above all, it encouraged many players in spite of themselves to beat this famous record. A merciless war has just been announced!
