A Guide to the How-to-Tetris YouTube Tutorial Videos

Introduction

I currently only have a few beginner Tetris tutorial videos, focusing mainly on defenses, which is the most important for beginners, besides stacking foundations.

I have recognized this void in my Tetris guides. I will actively collect more clips to make videos involving (i) foundational stacking, (ii) 9-0 stacking, (iii) 6-3 stacking, (iv) perfect clears, and (v) openers.

However, this is what I have now:

Surviving Pressure

Surviving pressure is one of the core techniques that beginner players should learn. In this video, I will teach you how to counter-spike, stack into a well-like taper to counteract pressure, and connect your attacks as you downstack. By connecting your attacks, you start garbage blocking, preventing further garbage from reaching your field, increasing your survivability.

Freestyle Downstacking

Downstacking is really simple. You only have to (i) stack flatly, (ii) fill corner cavities, and (iii) connect your attacks as you downstack. Doing so enables smoother, more efficient downstacking and more downstack combos. By simply following these simple guidelines, your downstacking can improve immensely. You can maximize offensive combos while defending, increasing your Attack Per Minute (APM).

Misdrop Recovery

Misdrops happen to the best of players. However, misdrops open up many mid-game opportunities for: (i) downstack combo chances and (ii) T-spin chances. You can also clean up misdrops with skims.
