13-Year-Old Wunderkind Conquers Classic Tetris, Setting Unprecedented Record

Thirteen-year-old competitive Tetris player Blue Scuti has become the first person to reach a "kill screen" on the NES version of Tetris, a state where the game crashes and becomes unplayable, a feat previously only achieved by AI. Using the "rolling" technique, which allows for faster inputs on the controller, Blue Scuti managed to break the game after 38 minutes of play, surpassing world records for score, level, and lines. This achievement was dedicated to Blue Scuti's late father and marks a significant milestone in the competitive Tetris community.
