Advanced Spliced T-spins

Spliced T-spins involve inserting T-spins in between other T-spin setups. This is the most advanced type of T-spins.

Because of their vast variability, I cannot show everything.

However, here is a long video of my compiled mid-game spliced T-spin feats:

To use them well, you should:

  1. Use them only opportunistically (i.e., one side of the stack is fully upstacked, so you only have to put a few pieces to complete the setup).
  2. Watch for T dependencies. If there aren’t enough Ts, give them up!
  3. Watch for danger; spliced setups can block the garbage hole, making you susceptible to being spiked with no way to cancel it out with Tetrises.
  4. Watch for the height: don’t use them when too overstacked as you may run out of places to put pieces while waiting for incoming Ts.
  5. Minimize T wastage in the stack – every T placed on the stack needs another T placed to even out parity (if the field was originally parity imbalanced).
  6. Be familiar with their follow-ups and ways to construct them so you can create them quickly with maximal continuations.
  7. Be creative!

I present my Twitch Tetris clips, featuring my actual gameplay, to demonstrate the above. Below every video is a set of commentaries unique to that clip.

Enjoy! I hope you will learn from my demonstrations.

However, I emphasize that the sheer number of possible spliced setups is endless. This short guide only showcases a few. More on my stream and YouTube videos (@GalactoidTetris)!
