TETRIS 99 - TAFO TEACHES T-SPINNING

[@GurenMarkIII]

The repetition was so helpful. I usually end up replaying tutorials many times until I actually get it, but you demonstrating so many examples made it so I don't have to.

[@TheGlitchedUpGlitch]

i almost rewound the video because i missed 5 seconds reading the top comments but then i read your comment and decided not the rewind. thanks! :)

[@TuckerKingDoesStuff]

This exactly.. Felt like just watching you t-spin repeatedly made my brain able to recognize the set up without you having to commentate.

[@slack3r9]

I see a lot of players rotating "towards" the opening to get their t-spins a lot. Like you put an edge into the bottom portion and then rotated it into position. Guys like Wumbo and TaiyouAmemiya will have it so it rotates into the spot. Is there any advantage/difference to doing it one way or the other?

[@Plaitonic]

now do it on invictus mode

[@freezy7630]

Oh so this is the person sending me 4 rows of garbage every second

[@shady8045]

[@_Polyfez]

Second most common question, "How do get a girlfriend?". Well, at least I can do a T-Spin.

[@LoldemortII]

Polyfez tafo could probably teach us about that as well. He's married.

[@YamadaDesigns]

Next Question: Can you perform a T-Spin on your girlfriend?

[@mewfeuille]

Bear in mind that for this, definitely do not try the T-Spin setup of "find the hole" first

[@unity303]

When I saw my g/f do triple t-spins, I gotta admit it kind of turned me on.

[@unstoppableExodia]

Step one get rich or die trying. That's not a knock against dames but dating in general drains your wallet so you'd want to be able to handle that. Because if you are able to find someone special you'll barely notice and you won't mind either

[@pimpchimpin6785]

T-Pose for dominance? Nah I T-Spin for complete domination.

[@HOGhunter1289]

Dude your tutorials are next level, I’ve been involved in Tetris communities for a couple years now ie. Reddit, Tetris friends and no one makes tutorials as clear and as straightforward as you do. You have such a great demeanour and clear way of explaining concepts. KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK

[@mamasboy7569]

Me: Man, I really enjoy Tetris, I think I'm really good at it. Tetris 99: Haha, yeah sure, guy.

[@ClaytonD719]

This made me finally understand T-Spins. I think the gameplay helps a lot!

Very clear and concise. You're great at explaining things and providing commentary on your actions. Would love to see more like this from you.

Thank you NL for showing me this glorious man's guide. I appreciate you both y'all are beautiful

[@ibstarabu4319]

Your video was the best explanation I've seen about t-spins. The diagrams at the beginning and watching you playthrough was exactly what I needed to understand. Thank you :)

[@Crusher_53]

Just got into Tetris 99 and all of your tutorials have been very helpful! Just followed you on twitch and subscribed. Keep up the good work!

[@arthurlu1368]

you should teach everyone how to tspin triple next! it sends even more lines than a tetris and is devastating when paired up with badges.

[@lemonbeverage]

Wow it's weird to think that so many people are new to tetris mechanics like this, great to have someone like you for tutorials.

[@mikedl1105]

I learned to play Tetris on the Gameboy a long time ago, before holds and hard drops and t spins, so for me this is a new technique

[@sandgaijin]

This has been around since Tetris DS about 15 years ago. I never learned the t spin up until Puyo Puyo Tetris. I'm still improving on that and my vision of that well and corners are much more sharp.

[@Gold_Tail]

I've played tetris and learned good play from AGDQ that I stick with.. though have always only went for tetris's

[@BlutigeTranen]

Tetris, when I played it back on my OG Gameboy, was about clearing lines and Tetris' and a t-spin didn't exist. Even when it became a thing, it was mostly a neat survival trick if you fucked up placing pieces. I honestly think it gives too much garbage for how easy they are.

[@hecetewest5411]

Ran Ng ah yes, the *exact* same thing Sony and Microsoft do to make money is “garbage” and “petty” when Nintendo does it for less than half of the price of the other two.

[@neatstatus]

This tutorial is perfect. The detailed explanations during gameplay (hovering the pieces to display the hole/base) is .

[@Aetalutaa]

Ah finally a good tutorial well explained, I've tried another one, I leanred how to do some T-spin, but not reallt how to build them well, now I'll finally be able to train with this, thanks. Without T-spin I win sometime (like 1 time every 10-20 games) but with it, I'll probably win twice more (unless many more people learn how to T-spin)

[@MissAshley42]

I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully unlearn decades of playing Tetris without T-spins, but I think this is the first time I've understood how to quickly identify/set-up opportunities. Thanks!

[@retrofritter7439]

Here because of NL?

You should be a teacher dude. Probably the 4th or 5th tutorial I've watched on T-spins, the first that's explained it an easy intuitive way, and the last I'll need, THANK YOU!

[@andrewseburn]

Good job, this helped me visualize the setup nicely.

[@Leelahel]

I have seen other videos of yours and I find them very helpful. You are great at teaching.

Thank you for making very clear instructions! By the end i was able to follow along and even predict where to mentally place the pieces to set them up!

[@karlcossaboon7072]

Love the vids man keep em up Very helpful and entertaining You may have went from 500 subs to 7K in like 2 weeks but you still deserve a lot more your seriously just as good as wumbo and even if wumbo is better wumbo doesn’t talk while playing usually and he’s at like 30K subs good job now I will be able to t spin like a god Also You do better than I usually do when your not even trying to win lmao

[@LoveXKnife]

holy fuck, you're the first person to explain it in a way i can understand

[@macvspc]

This vid was pure beauty. Thank you. I've been able to T-spin out of most situations, but this helped a lot. What I really need help with is T-spin triples. If you could do a vid just like this for those, that would be awesome. (Like theory, and example game)

[@tuckerphez]

My sister told me to watch this and now I understand how to do t-spins. I was really struggling with that. So thanks!

[@SuperScopeRawks]

I just started getting into T99 now. Thanks for this video its really helpful!

BEST T-SPIN TUTORIAL ON KZbin!!!!

[@Inspirator_AG112]

I started using a double well on the very left of the board. Here is what each piece does when inserted into the double well. 1×4/ 'I'/ LINE PIECE It will give you a Tetris. It will never damage the slot because it is symmetrical. 2×2/ 'O'/ SQUARE PIECE It will give a Double. It will never damage the slot because it is symmetrical. 'J' PIECE (-Blue piece when oriented narrow) If oriented to look like a 'Г' or an 'r', it will give a triple. If oriented the look like a 'J', it will give a Single. It will never damage the slot. 'L' PIECE (-Orange piece when oriented narrow) It will only give a Single. If oriented to look like a '7', keep the slot intact. If oriented the look like an 'L', it will damage the slot, so I try to avoid this orientation. 'S' PIECE It will only give a Single. Because it is point symmetrical, it will always damage the slot. 'T' PIECE It has a similar effect to the 'L' Piece except you get a Double when oriented pointing right. If the slot is 3-wide anywhere though, you can get T-Spins. 'Z' PIECE It will give a Double. Because it is point symmetrical, it will never damage the slot.

[@baseradius3907]

That was great f'ing video. Like super great! Bravo on a wonderful, smart, insightful and practical explanation! :)

[@jamesmoyner7499]

Well now I not only know how to do a t-spin, but also found by complete accident to finally know how to switch out blocks! I always see people do that in videos, but never knew how to do it myself.

This was so clear and interresting ! Can't wait to try this out by myself ! I have one more question : Are T-spin double more efficient than a complete tetris in this gamemode ?

[@benjoleo]

Bump

[@guillaumesakiche]

?

@@coffeedude Oh thanks ! (And thanks Benjoleo too !)

[@mariko9909]

Sucre en poudre This is kinda late but according to the comments below, a double T - Spin is just less powerful than a tetris but it is easier to set up since u only need two lines while Tetrises needs 4 hence why it is more efficient

This guide was very helpful. Thank you!
