A Kirbtris on every level of Tetris Effect

The 21-line ZONE clear was the work of Tetris mastermind Kirby703. After stunning the developers of the game with a 21-line Ultimatris, they renamed it after her. Then she scored a 22-line clear, and laid the groundwork for the theoretical (and ridiculous) maximum 23-line clear, and got that too!

[@leociresi4292]

I use it when the moment “feels right, the only problem is not getting the pieces you want.

[@dkillalegend]

Let's see if Enhance would allow Zone use in the 1989 and 1984 hidden stages so that you can add two more Kirbtrises on that.

oh really close but 21 zone lines is actually kirb

[@eRR0Rq]

0:58 this one would have almost worked without Initial Rotation, right? I think only the T placement at 1:13 would have been impossible.

[@YoshimiTetris]

Yes, that is correct. Kibi also could have not used initial hold on the final placement if he instead buffered either rotation direction to let the second L piece spawn, but his initial hold solution was a bit simpler.

[@paulsd9255]

Did you intentionally time the Metamorphosis one to end at the drop?

One day I'll get a Kirbtris... Well, I need an Ultramatris first!

[@leociresi4292]

All due to the updated tetrion. Open sides 3 lines ‘outside’ allowence

[@damailman9629]

Could 3:36 have been an impossibilitris? If you put the i piece horizontal to the right. Then put vertical z-piece and the J from the hold. Or would the spawns not allow that?

[@Kibi_Byte]

Since there were four cells needing to be filled in row 22, it was impossible. Placing an i piece in that position would cause a lock out, ending the ZONE.

Hi! How can one achieve such feature in Tetris E C? I've reached level 100 Master and have never encountered such thing. :)

[@electra_]

Do you mean, like, how does one get a Kirbtris? Happy to give some tips / help. Basically first you wanna turn "Initial Rotation" and "Initial Hold" on in gameplay settings these let you spawn the next piece rotated, by holding down a rotation button when you press hard drop. And then, when building in zone, you want to pay special focus to the top rows of the field, to make sure you're always filling things consistently up to row 21. The border of the field extends up to row 20, so you want each piece to extend above that. If you have areas that only extend to row 20, think about which pieces could be used to sorta extend out to the side in order to cover these areas. Watching this vid and seeing how all the solves work could give you a sense of how to build stuff up there. Once you get to the final few pieces, you want to hold one of the rotation buttons (usually clockwise) to spawn every piece vertically. You can use the other rotation button to keep spinning your pieces. When the pieces start vertical, they take up less room. You wanna be looking for stuff where the final piece can clear a double or more. This doesn't happen often, needs some good RNG. It can often help to pause once you're near the end of the Zone (~ 17 lines), and look at a screenshot of your board. Think about where your next 6 pieces can go, and try to plan it out. Is there any way you can see them fitting in that clears up to row 21? Using MS Paint, or a program like Fumen, Fourtris, or ZTrix can help with this. Also, feel free to join the Enhance discord discord.gg/enhance (Devs of TE:C), there are a lot of people there who are happy to help with this stuff.

[@derdork3233]

And i thought the decahexatris was insane. But i guess like with every game nowadays, someone will challenge themselves to the extremes. Like beating dark souls with no gear or something like that.

I swear your zone modes last wayyy longer than mine. I average 80 drops/min and it always seems to run out for me on line 19 or 20

[@Kibi_Byte]

If you're playing Zone Battle, then you will experience shorter zone times due to the phase progression of that mode. You get less time in the zone as the game progresses, and you don't get one extra final piece placement at the end of the timer.

Impossibilitris

[@teasemate360]

Why do you get more time then me?

[@Kibi_Byte]

There are a few factors that affect how long your zone time is. The meter can be 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% filled when you activate it, each higher percentage giving more time. While playing journey, if the time runs out, you can place a final block with as much delay as you please. In Zone Battle, the time you get in the zone shrinks as the phases progress, and the zone ends immediately when the time runs out, meaning you don't get that one last placement.

[@paulsd9255]

Did you intentionally time the Metamorphosis one to end at the drop?
