For those unfamiliar with the scene, NES Tetris is a 33 year old game that has sparked competition ever since the 1990 Nintendo World Championships. The scene was revived in 2010 with the advent of the Classic Tetris World Championship, and since then the talent pool has continued to grow year after year. Joseph Saelee brought hypertapping to the forefront of the scene with his win in 2018, and ever since other players have been innovating. Cheez created rolling as a way to move pieces as fast as possible back in 2020, and the scene hasn't been the same since.
