I bet he sees the shapes floating in his head when he tries to go to sleep. I know that happened to me back when I went through a spurt of playing this.

Why is the word "ds" in here? Am I missing something? Tetris DS sucked.

lol funny :(

Gowans007 · (09-08-2007, 09:53 PM)

I just cant belive how anyone can do that, at the end its ridiculous then the last 30 seconds all the placed peices are invisible and they are still going.

Get this man to the Olypics!

The bit after 5:11 is enough to make you believe in the paranormal.

RiskyChris · (09-08-2007, 09:55 PM)

what is happening there during the credits jesus christ

Linkhero1 · (09-08-2007, 09:56 PM)

that's crazy

adelante · (09-08-2007, 09:57 PM)

:O

Glad I'm not the only one this has happened to. Also happened when I first started playing THPS1.

This is super-old, but amazing to this day.

Invisible Tetris! Get outta here. He's a wizard or something. A robot-wizard!

EvilMario · (09-08-2007, 09:58 PM)

Moderately impressed.. until.. the credits. :O [/jaw drop]

cjelly · (09-08-2007, 09:58 PM)

What a lame version of Tetris.

Well done to the player, though.

Wow. Couldn't have said it better. Watching it, I experienced first, confusion, then disbelief.

test_account · (09-08-2007, 10:00 PM)

I know there are some people out there that are crazy good in Tetris, but at this speed.. i question if its in real-time. Its so fast you cant even think, and the invisible Tetris at that high speed and he still makes it? Either fake or the blocks follows a specific pattern or something. Anyway, was cool to watch it.

Linkzg · (09-08-2007, 10:02 PM)

THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS GUY?!

Lord Error · (09-08-2007, 10:03 PM)

Actually, I'm not sure if this is old. I don't remember the invisible tetris part at the end of that old video. This is completely insane, if it's not a fake...

Ezduo · (09-08-2007, 10:03 PM)

THE PIECES TURN INVISIBLE AND HE CAN STILL PLAY? MOTHER OF GOD.

Vic · (09-08-2007, 10:04 PM)

I feel like throwing up...

Opus Angelorum · (09-08-2007, 10:05 PM)

How does he get the accuracy of the block placement, I simply can't believe it.

TheGreatDave · (09-08-2007, 10:05 PM)

The fact he plays with a joystick just makes it all the more confusing for me.

meppi · (09-08-2007, 10:05 PM)

I thought crazy shit like this only happened in the Magical Drop games, or even Money Idol Exchanger.

Great to see that even the simplest of game concepts can be played at such a high level. Very impressive.

Relix · (09-08-2007, 10:06 PM)

Holy.... Shit...

HarryHengst · (09-08-2007, 10:06 PM)

Haha, this is amazing. He needs to be in the guiness book of records. :o

FatalT · (09-08-2007, 10:06 PM)

That is NUTS!

Gowans007 · (09-08-2007, 10:07 PM)

I'm still baffled,

I dont think its fake at all but this just makes me feel inferior beyond belief.

Once I though I had Tetris skills, played all the time then I gave it a to bud on holiday to play by the pool, I came back to chill after a swim in the pool and my score was beaten & I was secretly gutted. (I was boasting before about my score too).

I dont know what this person would have done to me

Add another vote to Robot Wizzard

warthog · (09-08-2007, 10:10 PM)

Scary :/ Track him down and burn that wizard!!!

No_Style · (09-08-2007, 10:10 PM)

The fireworks at the end of it all was well worth it for all the time he put into those skills! Kudos to him!

You can see the seconds counting in real time on the game clock. It's not sped up.

Fucking amazing.

Fidelis Hodie · (09-08-2007, 10:12 PM)

Thats some awesome stuff going on right there.

I'm fast, but not that fast.

Yip!

Ok I've worked him out, he has some sort of device that slows down time or something.

ZealousD · (09-08-2007, 10:12 PM)

Man, that's absolutely amazing. The speed at which his brain must be firing and working is incredible. I think it would be really interesting if somebody did some serious studies of people performing at that level just to see how the brain operates at that speed.

Fifty · (09-08-2007, 10:15 PM)

I wonder if the government can hook him up to a super computer that has him playing tetris 24/7 at that speed to cure cancer. Like folding, only faster

Lee N · (09-08-2007, 10:15 PM)

I expected more from GAF, the people who call this video fake need to get a clue.

The TGM games are a hardcore fork of Tetris developed by Arika, and they're very geared toward high speed play. Anyway, this video is an official video by Arika themselves and it was release yesterday, Jin8 is the player and he's definitely the best there is at TGM - calling him fake is both ignorant and disrespectful.

Here's a link to the video at Arikas homepage:

But seriously though, couldn't a super computer technically operate at even faster speeds?

Second · (09-08-2007, 10:21 PM)

It's a supercomputer.

The process is simplified through practice because of patterns and brain taking a visual snapshot. It's heuristics in a way. What me and you would have to "figure out", he'd already know the answer.

Hesemonni · (09-08-2007, 10:27 PM)

Judging from the video I believe that the guy is a virgin.

...has to be.

Saoh · (09-08-2007, 10:29 PM)

that is actually pathetic imo. all that time wasted on tetris

what?

Somnid · (09-08-2007, 10:32 PM)

I dunno, but there's something about humans striving to do what a computer effortlessly can that just sucks the fun out of these type of feats. I like the super play videos of more complex games that wouldn't be trivial for a computer.

XSamu · (09-08-2007, 10:33 PM)

Wow dear god, he's not human oO
