Whether you’re trying to master Marathon mode in your favorite version of Tetris or looking to score more victories in, you’ll need to step up your skills. At a certain level, figuring out the best way to score a Tetris won’t be enough. You’ll need to learn some advanced tactics to last longer and send more garbage to your opponents.While we’ve covered, now we want to show you some more elaborate techniques that will help you grow your Tetris talents.
In this guide we’ll teach you about three advanced Tetris strategies: T-spins, Perfect Clears, and combos. T-SpinsThe T-Spin is one of the most powerful techniques in Tetris. Not only will it give you a more creative way to keep you alive and clear lines, but it’s an integral tool in competitive Tetris.While scoring a four-line clear Tetris is one of the best ways to take down opponents in games like Tetris 99 or, T-Spins can be stronger. Once you’ve mastered the T-Spin, you can send more garbage over to your opponent while clearing two or three lines instead of the four required for a Tetris.If you’ve never seen a T-Spin before, it seems impossible. The T-Spin breaks the rules of Tetris, allowing you to spin a T-shaped piece into a gap that it wouldn’t look like it would fit into. Here’s an example. Performing a T-Spin requires a proper setup.
To lay the groundwork, you’ll need to arrange your blocks in two ways: First you need to create a base, then you need to create an overhang.The base is simple enough. If the base has a T-shaped hole, you’re halfway there. Then you need to use a tetromino to create an overhang. Every piece, including the T-shape, can become the overhang. As long as the overhang creates a T-shaped hole that has three corners, your setup is complete. The gray base creates two corners, while the red overhang creates the third. Sega via PolygonOnce the setup is ready, soft-drop your T-shaped tetromino into the hole (there should be a gap naturally on one side), then rotate it.
A combo box is a commonly used graphical user interface widget (or control). Traditionally, it is a combination of a drop-down list or list box and a single-line editable textbox, allowing the user to either type a value directly or select a value from the list.
It’ll snap into place, and you’ll get a T-Spin clear.Setting up the base for the T-Spin is pretty simple. However, getting accustomed to understanding the setup for overhangs will take more time.

Here are some common setups.Drop the green S on a flat surface to make the gapSega via Polygon.You can drop a red Z like this to set up the gapSega via Polygon.You can stand an S or Z upwards to create the gapSega via Polygon.You can also drop an S or Z on top of a piece (see the red Z) to set up the gapSega via PolygonThe S- and Z-piece have a lot of flexible setups for T-Spins. A great place to start is laying them on a flat piece so one part of the S or Z hangs over a gap to create the overhang.
You can also have an S- or Z-piece standing vertically to create the overhang. Lastly, you can lay an S- or Z-piece on top of another to create the overhang.L- and J-pieces have similar setups.Dropping an L or J flat can setup the T-SpinSega via Polygon.You can also drop an L or J flat like thisSega via Polygon.You can flip an L or J over to setup the T-Spin like thisSega via Polygon.Or hang them over a tall piece like thisSega via PolygonYou can lay them flat over a T-shaped hole or hang them on top of another piece.The O- and I-pieces are pretty straightforward for setups. Simply lay them over a T-shaped hole, and you’re good to go. You can also make a similar setup with the T-piece itself, but it’s best to save those for the actual T-Spin. Of course, if you have the setup available, you can still do it with a T-piece if you’d like. Triples require a lot more setup, but they are actually stronger than scoring a Tetris against an opponent in competitive mode. Even though a T-Spin Triple will clear three lines, it can send up to six lines over to your opponent.
While powerful, it has a time-consuming setup, and often leaves you with a board that needs to be cleared up a bit more than you would have to deal with when using the T-Spin Double.To perform a T-Spin Triple, first you’ll need a different kind of base than the double. The base should be a T-shaped hole, as seen below. The T-Spin Triple requires a unique base to start. Sega via PolygonOnce you’ve set that up, the overhang also needs to be much more specific than the double.
The overhang needs to look exactly like the orange blocks below. The T-Spin Triple has a unique overhang. Sega via PolygonOnce the setup is complete, spin the T-piece into the overhang.
When it’s set, spin it again to drop it into the second gap. The second spin will “kick” the piece into the hole, even if it looks impossible. You’ll clear three lines this way, but you can send six lines of garbage to an opponent. While powerful, the T-Spin Triple will still leave an overhang on your board that you’ll need to deal with. Perfect clearAnother way to send large amounts of garbage over to your opponent in competitive play is the Perfect Clear. If you manage to clear every tetromino off of your screen, you get a Perfect Clear bonus that can send up to 10 lines over to an enemy.While this is harder to pull off than T-Spins, there is a setup you can use in the early game of most versions of Tetris that can give you a huge advantage right away.

In most modern versions of Tetris, blocks are delivered via the 7 Bag Randomizer system. That means the game will give pieces in a random order, but you will always get one of each of the seven pieces before the order is randomized again. Knowing that you’ll get each of the seven tetrominoes from the start, there is a setup you can do that gives you the chance to pull off a Perfect Clear right at the beginning of the game.
The first shape for a Perfect Clear. Sega via PolygonTo accomplish this setup, you need to make two individual stacks. The first uses the I-, J-, L-, and O-pieces to create the shape above.
Keep in mind that if you get the blue J-shaped piece before the orange L-shaped piece, you can reverse the pattern on the opposite wall.
Drag a combo box on your worksheet.Note: you can change the name of a control by right clicking on the control (make sure Design Mode is selected) and then clicking on Properties. For now, we will leave ComboBox1 as the name of the combo box.Create a Workbook Open Event. Code added to the Workbook Open Event will be executed by Excel VBA when you open the workbook.4. Double click on This Workbook in the Project Explorer.6. Choose Workbook from the left drop-down list and choose Open from the right drop-down list.7. To add items to the combo box, add the following code lines to the Workbook Open Event.
With Sheet1.ComboBox1.AddItem 'Paris'.AddItem 'New York'.AddItem 'London'End WithNote: use Sheet2 if your combo box is located on the second worksheet, Sheet3 if your combo box is located on the third worksheet, etc. If you use these code lines outside the Workbook Open event, you might want to add the code lines below before these code lines. The first code line clears the combo box. This way your items won't be added multiple times if you execute your code more than once. The second code line clears your own choice.
