lol i just watched a replay of someone doing "ZT" stacking (mirrored version of this)
looked funny
he didn't do exceptionally well or anything, but a solid 50k score (pwns me that's for sure)

btw @flamewheel, what was your score before they thought u cheated and removed it?

Just topped 66k I think. Barely beat out the former #1 by like 200 points. I was so happy and had a Facebook status and everything.

Then logged back on the next day to find it removed. Whoops.

Very awesome post.
After reading it I suscribed to Tetris friends, now i'm doing some T-SPIN ACTION, and that feels awesome.
I never knew that tetris became a balanced competitive game

Maybe some tips then? I am really bad at arena (rank 9/10) and I could really use some help!

Two excruciating days later ... I still don't understand the opening.

I have twice gotten to a place where I was able to consistently set nice and neat 2 and piece combinations in the left and middle areas and the game becomes fairly easy, although I'm not very fast. I just don't understand how I get to that part. I always have two blocks just in my way. Which leads to inevitable holes and me ripping my hair out in frustration. I undoubtedly do better at Ultra with this method than normal tetrising, but I'm so confused that I feel like I'm doing far worse.

*sigh* ... maybe tomorrow I'll figure it out. This is really beginning to eat into my StarCraft time though dammit.

lol i just memorized the openings
my most used one is the first one of the 3, i find it's really flexible in what way the pieces fall.
occasionally i do the last one (i dislike it because the second long usually doesn't come fast enough), second one almost never

i don't play this too often still, but probably spent a few hours on it. im almost up to 25k xD watch out flamewheel! i just doubled my score in 2 days lol (im like 60th in tetrisfriends daily rankings today if u wanna watch the rep and give me tips <3)

i feel like im getting kinda inflexible lol. im just focusing on the first opening, and most of my games are GO combos only (and when i do something like YB, i gotta think about it )

oh well, progress is progress

I was actually really into tetrisfriends for a while but I could never learn how to properly T-spin, I'd usually just play marathon and do 4-lines and then some t-spins when I saw the opportunity. I'd usually start trying the thing you outlined but I'd mess it up because I didn't know about leading and what-not! Thanks, sweet post :D

Just posting here because I have been on the edge of ranking up for the last hour in Tetrisfriends Arena only to get fucking disconnected at the last second and consequently losing a ton of rank. So fucking pissed off right now

Does anyone else get this a lot, and how the hell can you fix it (if at all)?

RAWR I now fully master the openings!!!

OK not really, but still, I don't restart as much as I used to when I started playing yesterday... For those having difficulty with the opening, I really like to put the yellow square in the center at the beginning+green on on its left or orange on its left. Then you can start center stacking as described in the guide quite easily.

edit : Thought you were joking when you said greens are nasty, I chuckled at the word nasty... Sorry for laughing... greens ARE EFFING NASTY. Just wondering, what's a average/decent score at tetris ultra, i notice you do above 65k.... I barely do 9k... but i'm trying to only do t-spins and working really hard on the openings...

Okay, I am trying this ST method, and I've only been playing Tetris for a day now, my high score right now is about 300k. My background story is that I'm trying to prove to my friends that constant Tetrises will not yield a higher score than an equally well played ST stack. My friend Timmy has 700k as his high score, and my goal is to top that by ST stacking.

Anyway, I have difficulty sometimes with the leading concept. Basically, is it that I always try to play Orange or Green first? And how about Yellow or Blue?

Oh and this is in Marathon. Tetris Friends.
I've given much thought to the fact the I'm not introspecitve.

Definitely play green before orange. Yellow and blue, like he said in the guide are more forgiving I find. it depends what you do with them, if you center stack them, go for the yellow first, but if you dump them on the left, I personally didn't notice any difference in which goes first. I might be wrong though! I'm a noob that just started too, but managed to get one of the top 100 scores of the day in ultra! XD

Saw you on the leaderboard for today, nice

Everyone who plays should put teamliquid in their quotes, I wanna see how many of the top 100 are from TL

Thanks so much for this guide, I've been tetrising quite a bit in the past few days, made it to 55 for today

So the other day I was researching Tetris methods and I stumbled across an interesting idea, I told myself I'd look back at it later, but haven't been able to retrace my steps. Anyway I think it was called the play-forever method or something like that. The entire right side was filled with nothing but a symmetrical pattern of blue, yellow, and orange. The entire left was filled with a symmetrical pattern of green, red, and purple. Each pattern on the sides was four columns wide. Anyone know a guide to this or anything?
