Overpowered Technique Shatters NES Tetris World Record
666NES Tetris is guided by innovation, with a new playstyle recently dethroning one that was on top of the scene for 33 years. However, what happens when a player introduces something new to an "obsolete" technique? This is how Moja314 shocked everyone.

NES Tetris has had several dominant playstyles throughout it's 33 year lifespan. First, there was the built in piece movement system, DAS. Shortly after the game's release, 1990 Nintendo World Champ Thor Aackerland found a method to move pieces at 12+ times per second on a Nintendo controller, with the term "hypertapping" being coined right afterwards. Just recently, a new playstyle invented by Cheez called "rolling" ended up obsoleting the previously mentioned techniques, but that doesn't mean that innovation ended for them. In fact, both DAS and Hyptertapping maintain fanfare in the community, and in Moja's case, he was able to introduce something new to tapping that allowed it to compete with rolling, and the results are incredibly impressive.
