Puyo Puyo Tetris: T-Spin Set Ups Tutorial

Two puzzle game juggernauts collide as Tetris®, one of the largest-selling and recognized brands in gaming history, and Puyo Puyo™ from SEGA have combined to create a fun-to-play, fast-paced, competitive party game like no other! Coming to retailers in the Americas (April 25) and Europe (April 28) on PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch™, the game offers tons of gameplay styles - from single-player Adventure and Challenge modes to ferocious competition with up-to-four player Arcade modes, for tons of Tetris/Puyo variety. Plus, an in-game Shop enables players to unlock new characters and skins for Puyos and Tetriminos.
Here’s a quick rundown of all the different ways to play:
Adventure- Single-player mode offers ten unique acts, each with ten stages featuring different characters from the Puyo Puyo and Tetris universes. Each stage contains unique challenges players will need to overcome in order to win and move on!
Multiplayer Arcade - For up to four local players, Multiplayer Arcade offers a wealth of game variants that will bring out players’ competitive nature!
• Versus - Players compete head-to-head in either Puyo Puyo or Tetris to fight in the puzzle fight of their life.
• Swap - Players’ abilities are put to the ultimate test when they compete on both Puyo Puyo and Tetris boards, which switch back and forth at set intervals.
• Fusion - A true hybrid game where players compete with Puyos and Tetriminos together on the same board, requiring deft, on-the-fly thinking to become victorious.
• Big Bang - It’s a race to the finish as players compete against each other to clear unique challenge boards as quickly as possible to win.
• Party - Players compete on Puyo or Tetris boards, but the puzzles feature special items that when activated either help players or harm their opponents.
Online - Players can try their puzzle skills on a global scale by playing any of the multiplayer modes with up to four players online in Puzzle League or Free Play modes
• Puzzle League - Increase player rating, earn ranks and aspire to new leagues in this mode for competitive enthusiasts.
• Free Play - A more casual experience where records aren't kept and players can customize matches with unique settings, and invite their friends to play.
• Replays - Players can save and upload any online matches to show off to their friends, or search other players’ replays using the tag and filtering system to see how they tackle matches.
Solo Arcade - Play any of the Multiplayer Arcade modes against the CPU in Battle or Endurance matches, or try single-player challenges:
• Battle - Substitute human players with 1-3 CPU opponents to fight against simultaneously.
• Endurance - Go the distance in a one-on-one gauntlet of never-ending CPU opponents, racking up as many wins as possible.
• Challenge - Forget about the opponents and put skills to the test with Sprint, Marathon and more, like the quirky Tiny Puyo, which shrinks down Puyos to fit even more on the board.

[@redjarman]

I just can't force my mind to register T spins. Visually, there's no way it could fit in there, so I never think to do it.

[@NAT3s]

redjarman I am pretty convinced that most people don't see them. It's like solving a Rubiks Cube... People memorize the setup patterns and repeat them when available. I can't see them either but I decided to one by one go through the starting T-spin setups and it became a muscle memory. I just repeated then over and over, then I would challenge myself to look at the starting piece lineup and determine which T-spin setup was possible. I spent days doing this.. I still struggle to "see" them but I can remember the patterns for the ones I practiced

[@colmecolwag]

how I mentally justify it: You need to have the one block overhang to "push" the 'Mino down into the gap. When you play Big Bang Mode in Tetris form and you're doing perfect on it, the last set of clears are all Spins that use that overhang to help "force" it down. Wish it was easier to practice it than that, but eh that's the game.

[@megameerkat2634]

i think it takes a ton of practice to do that. back in the day ofthe gameboy i just went for Tetris clears. i still do that to this day.

[@scwt89]

I can do t-spin doubles, but I still have never been able to do a triple.

[@yoshib7619]

Lol I started to play a lot more of Tetris 2 years ago and I still don’t know how to set up t spins I started to play puyo recently and I’m way better at chains than t spins lol

[@LunaPrincessNinjato]

[@dt5101961Nelon]

Like most of the tutorial. First put a block here. Then you make a SUPER OMEGA ULTRA COMBO.

[@razor2571]

when you make a T-Spin in tetris and get really excited about it since you never make T-Spins then realize you only clear one line from it and figure out it does absolutely nothing...

[@Dannybythebanana]

sounds like you did a T spin mini single

[@tecinplace1316]

[@guythatdosethingssometimes2651]

Johannes u know unless your aponent also knows how to do t-spin setups

[@Dannybythebanana]

If that's how fast you play against an actual player, you'd top out before you could get that T spin Triple.

[@autistichades5552]

My favorite opener.

[@radomiami]

You can even try to Perfect Clear before the DT! Worst case scenario, you botch it up and end up using a T-Spin Double, and best case scenario, you end up rushing your opponent with a Perfect Clear, T-Double, then T-Triple, which will kill, if not heavily cripple your opponent before they can count to 10.

[@quantumhornet211]

RadoMiami2600 no thats not going to work lol

[@darrylwomble5500]

I had to watch this at .25 speed

[@shanshansan]

Before seeing t spin: why is tetrises weaker than those triples that I don't know? AFTER seeing t spin: HOLY SHIT HOW DOES THAT EVEN FIT

[@somebodylikesbacon1960]

One set up I use works if you get J and L early. More specific J before S and L before Z. Put the J and L on their sides with the nob up and away from each other. Place I and O on the edges. Place the S on the J and the Z on the L so you see the T shape. Now make the overhang with the T then wait until the second T to come to do the T spin double.

[@Gquain]

My head hurts, how is this happening. The player can seemingly squish the T-Tetromino through 1-pixel gaps into an given form. Mine's just staying above the gap while rotating 360° until it locks into place.

[@TheAileZX2]

I had that problem at first too. It's really finicky about which direction you rotate it.

[@colmecolwag]

Yeah, you gotta specifically rotate clockwise or counter clockwise, can't just spam clockwise hoping it'd make it work. And you gotta have that overhang to "force" it in. The various Wikis provide a slower explination that helps.

[@timet0rekt]

it’s not 1 pixel lol

[@ES21007]

Watching competitive gaming of any form is amazing because it almost sounds like watching a chess match from commentary.

[@oceano901]

I developed a starter for an imperial cross. Once the back to back t spin is complete, a 2 wide combo string will be waiting right after. It's conditions are strict, but it is very lethal and can end a match if successful.

[@VGMusicExplorers]

Definitely getting this for Switch. :D

[@SpacePenguin537]

2:00 Ah yes, the infamous Phong Train Animation

[@randomperson5579]

King Crimson is a good one to get acquainted with t-spin triples, it's also a JoJo reference. It'll give you a T-spin triple along with a super T-spin double (so a triple and 2 doubles), for any one who wants something a lot easier than a DT-cannon. you should be able to find it online easily enough.

[@tfae]

Easy to build, but not very practical. It's unlikely you'll get the 3 T pieces in a row needed to clear one.

[@rossheiden9733]

I was able to get the setup for the t spin triple but cannot figure out how to change the t piece from right facing to facing up so it can fit into the hole. How do I do this?

[@stuffedanimalwars7692]

My mind cannot comprehend how to do this. I'm playing Puyo Puyo Tetris in single player as I am watching this, and I physically can't set up the T-spins. I have no idea how I'm trying to replicate how the tetriminos are placed, but I just don't know where to put them! I'm not a big fan of this tutorial, as it barely tells you where to place the blocks. I'm not a visual learner, so simply watching someone perform a T-spin doesn't help me at all, especially whenever the person playing is placing the tetriminos that quickly! I REALLY want to get good at doing T-spin doubles, does anyone have any other tutorials or tips that could help?

[@ThinkAboutVic]

I have a tip for mid-game T-spin doubles. If you see a place where you can fit a T piece perfectly, place an O piece so that it overhangs the whole hole. Then fill the sides and wait for the T piece. Hope that helped!

[@iLiekLemonade]

I was finding it hard to understand the video, so I just paused the video, kept refreshing marathon mode until I got the same blocks as the video. Then, I would follow the pattern of it and try to understand as I'm doing the T spin. Now I'm doing T Spin doubles and triples easily and using triples when I misdrop and try to recover. Just keep refreshing marathon mode and mirror the formation if you're set with the opposite tetrominoes. I think the tutorial is really useful since it's quick and to the point, so that I can absorb more information in a shorter frame of time.

[@iLiekLemonade]

If you're looking for other tutorials, look for futurefox128 for S and Z spins, very very useful for misdrop or when you get a drought and search Chopin T Spins tutorial for a more in depth explanation. Hsing Lui for visualisation of a T Spin and Wall kicks. Happy tetris-ing!

[@Riodile]

These are great and all, but what about L-spins and S-spins?

[@guythatdosethingssometimes2651]

irfanRiodile they don't get you extra points and not really useful in battle besides fixing up mistakes or getting a perfect clear so there's no real need to learn them

A t-spin looks cool, but how many more points does it get you? When did Tetris games start recognizing a t-spin double or triple? Not Game Boy, certainly.

[@Acelif]

T spin double is the same as a tetris and t spin triple is 50% more than a Tetris I believe

[@HaloInverse]

I remember when vanilla Tetris was a _simple_ game... this level of play looks trickier than those old variants that relied on additions like pentominoes and special blocks to add difficulty, but this is just basic Tetris rules. What the hell, man...

[@netako]

The gameplay is totally different compared to vanilla Tetris though, it's literally a mix between Tetris and Puyo Puyo...

[@wr3nch820]
