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

Introduction

These pages cover the most common, canonical Tetris T-spin setups, such as STSDs, STMB Caves, Yoshihiro, etc., as well as new practical ones.

More videos will be uploaded soon to fill in the blanks. There are still many canonical methods I have not yet covered, such as DT Cannon and C-spin.

I aim to create and upload them between May and July 2026.

Canonical Tetris Methods Remastered

Most of these videos below cover canonical (named) T-spin methods that other mainstream T-spin guides have largely neglected. While other guides like Four.lol focus on core methods, such as DT Cannon or Fractals, they often fail to cover the practicality of alternative methods like Vases, Super Spirals, Mini-Triples, Shallow Graves (Cremates), Drain Pipes, and Magic Keys.

My videos fill this void by showing you that these lesser-known methods are highly practical and can sizably boost your mid-game versatility!

Yoshihiro

This is a T-spin mini to a T-spin double setup. The former manipulates the field into more T-spin setups. It is one of the most common and practical mid-game patterns, easy to memorize and apply.

STSD (Super T-Spin Double)

The STSD is a double T-spin double setup. It is extremely easy to create and has many mid-game opportunities. It is also one of the most common spliced T-spin setups.

STMB Cave

STMB Cave is a floating T-spin double setup that can be used over gaps typically 3 blocks wide. It can be stacked many times to vastly boost your T-spin pressure.

Tetris to Simple Prophecy T-Spins

This is an essential method to know. Almost all high-level Japanese Tetris players use this.

Single-Double

Single-Double is a T-spin single to T-spin double setup.

Shallow Grave (Cremate)

Shallow Grave is a skim that evens out both sides of an uneven stack, allowing you to make T-spin doubles easily.

STMB Cave Donations

This is a floating T-spin double donation setup. What is not commonly known is that you can donate STMB Caves.

Magic Key

Magic Key is an S or Z prop that suspends a T-spin double over a certain pattern. After the T-spin double, you get a T-spin triple.

Super Spiral

Formerly known as Ajanba Special, it is an L or J-spin that leads to a T-spin triple.

Vase

This obscure Japanese method creates 2 T-spin setups. It can sometimes replace STMB Caves.

Drain Pipe

This is an S or Z-spin that leads to another T-spin. Handy for games that award back-to-back bonuses to all-spins, such as TETR.IO.

Mini-Triple

This is a T-spin mini to a T-spin triple setup. It is rarely used, but it has its mid-game applications.
