9 Beginner Tips for TETR.IO

[@randomperson5579]

A very important tip for newbies is, don't cover up the garbage hole unless you can resolve it quickly, you're just adding more pressure on your board. and try not to create holes, if you have to stack up higher on the sides, do it, the first 3 and last 3 columns can go past 20 lines from garbage without you topping out.

I didn't realize how inefficient my staking was until I played the eternal exercise. Thanks for that!

Great clear and concise intro into beginner/intermediate Tetris playing. Truly the go-to video for understanding the terms and strategies in Tetris. Thanks for the video!

[@corncobbob2326]

what's the League thing though? what happens if you play 10 games? will you never be able to continue after that? I'm new to the game as in I started yesterday and went in blindly with no context while thinking it was similar to regular tetris so garbage really caught me off guard. I still have little context for almost everything in the game.

[@CouncilOfTheLostGoats]

@@corncobbob2326 Garbage is sent to you when your opponent fulfils an attack requirement. So if you send a Tetris (or quad as they call it) you'd end up sending 4 lines of garbage. The chart is seen on 0:24. The league is pretty much like ranked in other games. It's to show off your skills and compete for points that will increase your rank. If you look a league game, your points go up and you're ranking may also go up, if you lose then your points go down and you may potentially derank. The 10 games you initially play is the games way of determining what league to put you in. Until then, you're unranked, meaning the game hasn't decided how good you are. After the 10 games, you can continue to play but now you're definitively fighting to rank up.

[@corncobbob2326]

@@CouncilOfTheLostGoats I played 3/10 games which were all losses. what happens if i lose all of them? what would happen next if I only get better after all 10 losses?

[@CouncilOfTheLostGoats]

@@corncobbob2326 You lost the 3/10 games so the game is going to give you easier and easier opponents until you start winning, then it'll give you a slightly harder opponent. It'll keep doing that until your win/loss ratio is around 1:1 in which case it'll rank you around there. After it officially ranks you and puts you in a league you can begin trying to go up from there, though it'll be a bit more stubborn because the game assumes your improvement will be incremental. These 10 games are only to estimate where to put you, but you can theoretically get to the highest league if you win enough. Don't worry if you lose every game, you can still go up in leagues.

[@marekse27]

1:13 Thats not necessary an I-piece dependency. Clever thing you can do is to use L or J piece, rotated so it's longer side will sit on a stack. This one block will just create a line that will disapear leaving place for future I-pieces

[@smokeybacon6194]

just a note for apm, uhh high apm doesnt necessarily mean mega pro. Until I got to X, I had a good 20apm above my opponents (still do), but i send clean garbage, so I get absolutely demolished. A high apm doesnt directly translate to high skill.

[@nightmare_symphony]

[@obamaprisim3487]

Something about the dependencies, I'm a B+ to an A- and I've spotted some inconsistencies, don't take this as a hate comment, but just to point out, there is only 1 true dependency and that's the I piece dependency. The others can actually flip flop against each other. Like let's say you have an L dependency, you can put an I piece into that L dependency in order for it to change to a J dependency. But it still stays as a dependency. It's same for a 2 wide dependency for example.

[@diegomastro5681]

Well of course you can use an I piece, but the idea is to not waste I pieces on the stack and use them to clear lines as much as possible

[@25pi25]

using more elaborate t-spin setups midgame is viable IF it's convenient, if you look at twowi.de puzzles they usually take 4-5 pieces to make a setup

[@neutrisicacidtetris]

in 1:06 can't you just put T in columns 1,2 and Z vertical in columns 4,5? And then skim?

[@anonymoustaco8959]

I definitely disagree with stacking on one side, I think 6-3 stacking is a much better habit to start off with, because it’s more ideal in higher ranks(S and above)

[@alvinli7163]

Many beginners don’t really know how t-spins work so 6-3 will be quite confusing for them

[@jonathanqi7606]

It's only good if you can T-spin, have good finesse, and have good stacking habits/fundamentals. For beginners, it doesn't confer any particular advantages.

Do you use different keys for clockwise and counterclockwise rotations? I'm C rank and i use my up arrow key but for tspins (if i accidentally manage to make one hah i dont know how to intentionally create tspins) i have to soft drop the t piece to the gap and then rotate it thrice which takes a lot of time

[@25pi25]

Good video. It explains clearly what a beginner should focus on. One small gripe I have though, is that you made speed seem as unimportant to practice. High APM is great but you should aim for balance. I have 19 APM and 1.20 PPS at A-. I've been beating most of my opponents due to my speed. I do agree that you shouldn't place all your focus on your average PPS though. Speed is something that comes with practice but you need to practice it regardless

[@pettanshrimpnazunasapostle1992]

1.2pps is great for A-, but as you approach A+ or even A.speed wont matter as much since there are people who can downstack efficiently enough for the speed gap to not be negligible. Or there are people whose apm is almost 30 just because they are decently good at keeping b2b even if they play at 0.9-1pps

that was not an I-dependency. a J, L, or T all could have gone there to burn a single and fill the gap

[@25pi25]

While that is slightly correct, the idea of 9-0 stacking is to stack cleanly and remove all dependencies, and skimming (burning is the term used in classic tetris) breaks your B2B which is why we teach it at an early point to stack cleanly on both sides (if you really wanted to continue just 2 wide) plus you can't do that in the eternal exercise
