Hi! I realize I was pretty unclear in my explanation of the "2 wide gap" being a bad pattern in puzzle 3. To be clear, the bad pattern is an *even* two wide gap-- that is, both sides of the 2 wide gap are at the exact same height. As we can see from the intended solution, a 2 wide gap with one side one block higher than the other is no problem. I just used "2 wide gap" to refer to the even 2 wide gap. My bad everyone, hope that clears up any misunderstandings!

Thank you for the clarification. Your videos have been helpful.

jesus your channel is criminally underrated, people charge crazy amounts for coaching and you're just here giving it out for free will definitely be binging your videos, thanks for all the content

Even tho I was consistently t-spinning before this, this guide really made things clear-cut. Very helpful; thanks!

Answer to 4:53 The L piece when placed there creates a height difference of 3, which, as referenced earlier on, is not fun to deal with. If you had a second L piece and an I piece, you could increase the height difference to 4(by using the L to make a LL 2x4 box), then solve the difference with the I pieces, but this also leaves you with a *third* L piece needed. Generally, avoid creating two-deep crevices on either side of the board.

this is the best, chillest t-spin video tutorial i've ever seen, thank you so much

6:15 subpar alternative "solution" it's a 5 wide gap and there's S and Z in the queue. Z on the left, J on top of it to make an overhang, S to build the T shape, and stack I L O on the side while you cycle for the T. Subpar solution because it doesn't actually solve the 2 wide gap issue, simply delays it by finding a small dono on top of it. Afterwards it's likely possible to STSD off the 2wide gap.

Could you elaborate on the floating T-spin ? I toyed with the position to see what you mean but I can't find it.

Really educational and entertaining video! However I'm pretty sure that's a forecast and not a prophecy at 10:58. It clears away the garbage in the T hole instead of creating the T shape by clearing with the piece itself.

Thank you for the very helpful guide! :D and congrats to reaching 1k subs! (I was the 999th aw)

2:46 I will take that plea as a challenge: The only way to get a quick T-spin here is with a donation. The stack is also too flat for a simple donation, so will waste a T for my first solve. The best way that wastes is from placing the T pointing down touching the wall right wall, making a little hole. Then to fill out the donation on the right of the hole, you can use an L piece or a Z overhang so the donation doesn’t cover the well. A way to not waste T is to place an L touching the wall, then S on the L to make the overhang. The left of the donation is easily filled. After the T-spin, the well is clear but a hole is created, so not ideal. A more complex method to not waste T is to make a TSS into TSD. You can place a J facing down next to the wall, have a hole with an easy overhang on the left (ideally with L + O so it’s flatter, and so you can use S or J second overhang). TSS must be rotated so it faces left instead of down, then can create an overhang for the other hole made by the first J. This requires 2 T’s, good next pieces, and a stupid brain, but it maintains B2B and doesn’t make a hole. Did this all in my head, so there’s a chance I visualized it wrong, correct me if I did.

Well wont be clear after an L and S overhang. S on top L has 3 blocks total which cannot be cleared by a TSD

alternate solve for puzzle 4: i think you can get away with a tetris as well as a tspin same Z and J, use I for tetris, L placed vertically and S on it to create overhand, O piece placed way to the left

super helpful gamer thanks

nice guide but... can we have a 4-5 stacking guide(since a lot of people not using it, and it seems fun to do, and a lot of openers like pco failed need to 4-5)

I love Orz

very cool video I will rewatch again later because this is clearly too advanced for me lol

At 6:53 there are some alternate solutions with L left side flat, O overhang (height difference is immediately solved after with S but could leave a bad board. The other solution I saw is using LS to make a heart shape and O overhang

@orztetris

2 жыл бұрын

Good find! I think the solutions are essentially equivalent, just an ordering thing (likely, even if you did do your solution you would 90% want an o piece on the left where intended solution was put anyway, big o dependency created).

when it comes to 6-3 stacking, the only way i know is the sprint method where for the 6 stack side you stack S and Z on top of a T. this makes it hard for me to tspin though, since you need that side of the row to be 5 wide instead of 4 wide

amazing channel !! hope you can keep making such great videos

@@orztetris The only way I can sort of clean it up is by facing the s-piece north and placing it in columns 3 and 4, then making the fin into a neo by shifting the j over to the right by one, then do the tsd and place the l horizontally into the 2-wide hole from the neo residue, then use an i as an overhang and an o into the left to fill in the rest of the stack, then do the next tsd, then (hold z and) make a left side tsd with the j and l pieces, place the i on the far left side, the place the s on the very far left and use the s as an overhang for the next t-spin, then do the tsd and setup up for the next tsd, placing the next i on the far right side, placing the o on top of columns 2 and 3, and fill in the left side hole with an l-piece for a cleaner board.) Or you could, ya know, be a normal player and do a tsd the intended way. Edit: spelling issues and fixing the “I”s into “i”s

very cool

Explain to me how to lower the block so quickly without putting it down?

thanks

5:57 isn't it still 2 wide gap after fixing? I dont get it.

I'm s+ rank in tetrio and I think I'm decent at doing t-spins, but I couldn't visualize any of the puzzles very well and I got none right. Do you think I just need to familiarize myself more with spins? Or is there something else?

@orztetris

I think you know the answer, just gotta practice more! There are rarely hidden or roundabout ways to get better at a particular skill. Just find the most direct way you can work on building tspins and maintaining the stack (some of which I recommended in the video). Don't worry about speed, just focus on solving height difference and keeping the stack clean and open to continue doing tspins on. Good luck!

Can you explain the reasoning about the “two wide gap” at 5:58? I know you explain it in text, and that the second one is easier to follow up, but I’m wondering if there is an easy rule to follow like you mentioned, because the second solution also has this two wide gap…

@swng314

2 жыл бұрын

[2 wide gap with 0 height difference] is the bad thing that you usually want to avoid. In the second solution, there is uh 1 or 2 height difference (not sure how to characterize) between the tops of each side of the well. as he explains in text, using an S piece to solve that height difference turns it into a 1wide gap immediately. When there's [0 height difference 2 wide gap], that usually requires several pieces of upstack to turn back into a 1 wide gap. When there is a height difference, it's often solved in like 1 or 2 pieces. my take

@orztetris

2 жыл бұрын

Not necessarily. The closer to center the stack, the more options you have to consider for each side. This can be good and bad, because there are more potentially good solutions, but it's also a lot more to think about. On the flip side, with something like 7-2, there are very few options for your 2 side, but this also simplifies your decision making a lot. This is what I meant by 6-3 being "balanced."

Personally I always play the dual SNES Tetris every evening with my wife. So no 4 pieces preview or hold piece option, to hold T pieces. She always beat me it's been 3 years I don't feel like I improve at all. I watched your video the T shape spin trick seems the only way I can improve. I don't know if it's doable on the SNES version. I don't understand what B2B means? When we play i start at speed 7 and she start at speed 8. I just always end up losing the flat stack and end up screwing up and I can't fix it and lose. Don't know what I'm doing wrong

Hi, I don't know a lot about SNES tetris, but it's possible that the SNES version of tetris doesn't have any bonuses for t-spins. This video is focused at guideline/modern tetris games, so it might not be very applicable to other versions. I might recommend looking at my stacking guide, which should be applicable for all tetris games.

Super late but I’m still disappointed that you didn’t make a fractal on puzzle 2

Isn't there a much faster solution to puzzle 4? You can use the Z, J, and S pieces, and already have a tspin set up.

4:30 wym nothing left to solve the height difference? What about that S there? Place the L on the stack as the overhang, tuck the S, fill the left with J, and you got it. Would be less than ideal since the L would leave a hole after (..and it'd only clear a single in that state..) butt a Tspin _is_ possible with that queueueueueueueueu :p As another alternative to your intended solution, just stack the L, J, and S all at once to make a Fractal, then you only need to hold once instead of 5 times, and you get a b2b and time bonus of hitting 2 tsd in a row

Oh and another not so important question about terminology. Is there a difference between prophecy t spins and forecasts?

@orztetris

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, there is a difference (by the hard drop definitions, I technically used the wrong term). From my experience though, people use both prophecy and forecast (but mainly prophecy, i don't hear forecast very often anymore) to mean "overhang over unrevealed garbage hole" (the hard drop definition for forecast) and "pre-overhang" for setting up an overhang before you have the tspin set up in general (the hard drop definition for prophecy), if they use any term at all. To speculate, tspins have evolved a great deal since the origin of a lot of these terms and setting up overhangs in advance is so common that "prophecy tspins" in their textbook definition aren't even distinguishable from basic tspins. (puzzle 1 was technically a "prophecy") So the terms have merged, because their English definitions are so similar. Language change is interesting, and if anyone else in the comments knows about how these terms have changed over time, please feel free to comment!
