Instinctively I want to keep the board neat, leave a single column down one side and go for the Tetris whenever I can.
The problem I was facing was that I was hard wired not to play Tetris this way. Sometimes to Move Forward We Have to Move Backward
Tetris t spin full#
The T-spin triple is actually more powerful than the Tetris and sends six rows of garbage to your target (not as powerful as a full clearance, but that’s a challenge for another day). … because a T-spin double sends four rows of garbage to your target, the same amount as a Tetris, but does this by clearing only two rows which means you can keep your own board lower and theoretically fire these off quicker than you can set up a Tetris. … but I’ve yet to attempt that one… Soooo…. Cool huh? There’s even a more impossible seeming version called the T-spin triple which clears three rows by creating a vertical T-gap off the horizontal one and by using two spins (and I swear some kind of witchcraft) complete three rows. Once that’s done just wait for your next T-piece, drop it in to the hole lengthways, and as it lands rotate it in to the gap to clear those two rows using a seemingly impossible rotation. Check out this diagram:įirst you need to create a horizontal T-shaped gap in otherwise complete rows and then add a one-block-wide overhang to the gap so you can’t just drop the piece straight in. The most common variety is the T-Spin double where you use this method to complete two rows. Sure it looks like you can’t do the rotation physically, but when did physics and video games ever have a co-operative relationship. In order to T-spin the player drops the T-piece through a gap that’s two blocks wide and as it lands rotate it into a gap that perfectly fits the T-piece in a horizontal orientation. They also use the fact that rotations in Tetris occur instantly with the piece being rotated changing from one orientation to the other without passing through any intermediate positions. T-spins come in a number of different flavours, but they all use the property that the T-piece is two blocks wide in one dimension and three blocks wide in the other. Maybe this is common gaming knowledge, maybe it’s obscure all I know is that I hadn’t come across the term prior to this. I noticed an entire stats section devoted to ‘T-Spins’… and was compelled to go away and find out what exactly a T-Spin is, and why I’d want to start filling those columns with numbers. Curious to know how many I’d racked up I checked out my game stats. One thing that I did know about Tetris is that a ‘Tetris’ is the clearance of four lines with a single piece and represents the best move in the game… right? In Tetris 99 this sends 4 lines of garbage (not considering other bonuses) to your opponent and I’d had a solid number of them by the time I was finally wiped out. This bring me neatly on to T-spins (which, if you’re like me and have only a passing knowledge of Tetris, you’re unlikely to have heard of). One of the cool things about Tetris 99 is that there are no instructions, which means that in order to discover the subtleties of the game (for example how back-to-backs or combos work) involves playing it lots or finding an online guide.
The whole thing comes together to form a satisfying experience that I found, despite not really being much of a Tetris player, is very rewarding even if I’ve yet to claim a victory (4th place being my best performance at time of writing). Clearing rows is necessary, not only to keep you in the game, but it also sends those garbage rows (missing one square) to the bottom of a target’s board, pushing them closer to failure. For anyone not familiar with the concept, Tetris 99 is a Battle Royale version of that iconic soviet puzzle game where 99 players battle it out to be the last one standing. Or more accurately many many small chunks because Tetris 99 is one of those games that’s delightfully easy to pick up in a spare ten minutes. … what my wife and I have actually done is sink a chunk of time into Tetris 99. What finally won me over was access to the virtual console NES & SNES games and the vague idea that I might try a few couch online games…
Tetris t spin Pc#
Sitting in a PC gaming chair for the past few years has meant that I’ve never paid for an online console subscription so the concept was pretty foreign to me. A few weeks ago I caved and signed up for the ‘Switch Online’ service.
