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? I've seen this before on tetris wikis. Haven't noticed a guide for it yet, but I've never searched.

I play with only my left hand on the arrows, pinky on spacebar and use shift to hold with pinky or index whatever feels right at that moment... I know I'm not being efficient because i'm not using Z and X that much... I feel it's really awkward to use those Left pinky shift Left ring z Left middle x Left pointer space Left thumb for scroll control Right hand arrows. Middle up/down. Pointer left ring right. | ||

I feel it's really awkward to use those I really don't like having my keys spread out, when I was learning I read somewhere and adopted left hand z-x-c (c is hold) right hand arrow keys (up is hard, down is soft). | ||

despite 2 brain farts early on (lol slow-dropping an L piece before realizing "waaait a minute that's not a T piece fml") i broke 30k ^_^ i'm starting to pay attention to which piece is leading (GO-wise at least, that's the only pair i'm paying attention to). speaking of this, the OP description of leading makes no sense. i am thinking of green leading orange as in green is in front of orange (ie leading it..) whereas in the article its the other way around. weird. shit's getting hard though. i'm starting to have execution errors moreso than "hmm so wtf do i do with this piece" errors now. and on another sidenote, apparently the S and Z pieces rotate differently depending on clockwise or counter-cw (end up in different columns). was this always like this? blew my mind when i found out just again, thx for the tutorial flamewheel. good stuff mayne. | ||

My LEFT hand is on the arrow, and I'm trying to awkwardly cross my right hand to the other side hahaha EDIT : Is there a way to customize the keys? Yes, right in the pause menu. Click around on the binding you want to change then hit the key you want to change it to | ||

The rules of a 'pure' game is pretty simple: clear 1 line adds nothing to opponent clear 2 lines add 1 lines to opponent clear 3 lines add 2 lines to opponent clear 4 lines adds 4 lines to opponent Since added lines only have one gap, its possible to 'downstack' quite fast. Initially the strategy is to go for 4 lines to deal maximum damage, but eventually once your stacks are high the better downstacker (typically clearing 2 lines at a time) wins the game, of course there is always some luck with good pieces. It was great fun trying to go really fast, you need a good keyboard with high repeat speeds to achieve something like 150bpm(thats 2.5 blocks / second!), with added skill of downstacking. Last time I checked there we no longer people playing on the servers, it was never as popular as regular tetrinet, but in terms of speed tetris I've never seen anything which rivals this game. Tetrinet2 has super fast speeds too, but last time I checked it had already died. | ||

Honestly, from watching your Ultra play it looks like you play at about 180 TPM (if you ignore all the tspins). I think it's because practicing T-spinning kind it of gets imbued into your brain so that you have almost no thinking time, whereas when you don't Tetris often, it's a bit harder to execute (since there aren't really set places to put each piece.) I for one am quite a bit slower at Tetrising than T-spinning, since I'm not actually good at Tetris like flamewheel is. | ||

More seriously though, I don't understand your problem. Maybe is your opening wrong? How exactly do you do your opening? Follow the openings mentionned in this thread and I'm sure you will be able to create for t-spins slots. After that, when I started playing I would almost strictly only put the green and orange in the middle everything else was trash. Then later on, started putting yellow and blue. What I mean is, keep doing the same (right) thing over and over again, and when you feel super safe with it, start adding stuff to it. PS. My girlfriend hates it when I play tetris, she says it makes me nervous | ||

I know doing this is the single player games is optimal for points, but is Tspinning viable for multiplayer games? | ||
