A useful resource to add to your description is Tetresse. It’s a tool that won’t let you place pieces without finesse. In other words if you make a finesse mistake, it’ll tell you the correct finesse on a tooltip and let you place the piece again.

[@sillyskeleton]

This video is great! I've clocked in hundreds of hours of Tetris over PPT, Tetris Effect and Tetris 99 and I've only just recently decided to get into learning proper finesse to help make my game faster. It's given the game a whole new lease of life for me. Alongside this I'm also working on getting my 40L sprint under 1:30 and then eventually under a minute. Every second I shave off feels so rewarding! I'll definitely be subbing to your channel so I can remember to check out your other videos.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I like how you break everything down and simplify things, but still are able to give good details. Tetris 99 was what got me into tetris, but I have been branching out and playing other tetris games competitively. I think I've gotten really good, but I've kinda reached my peak and knew I would sooner or later have to bite the bullet and learn finesse. Thanks for the upload, even now a few years later!

What got me into tetris is tetris battle on fb and I thought I was godly cuz I win every match after reaching rank 150. I stopped playing for 2 years and got into jstris and boy was I bad. I can move my pieces fine and have a great idea of what to do with my pieces and thinking ahead of time but my 40L clear never went under 1min and turns out I have so many inconsistency. So now I gotta learn finesse to really optimize and be a better player overall. Thanks for the vid!

Its fun learning it tho. Trying to slowly get better sprints with 0 Finesse. It's already getting little easier after a day of practicing. Your video helped get me started. Appreciate it.

[@ralphschraven339]

Since Tetris is such an old game, many of the folks you can find on the internet playing it are either absolute doofuses or absolute gods. In this comment section, though, it's nice to find some fellow souls of folks who want to get better at the game and are on the verge between the noobs and the pros. My PB is 1:39 on 40L, hoping to shave a full 40 seconds off of that after five practice sessions, then I assume progress will be slower! My advice: set ambitious goals, find some like-minded folks, and don't be distracted by other people's over- or underachievement! I find it most rewarding when I notice the self-improvement and allow it to feel good, rather than to compare it to someone who was in a different realm of skill the whole time.

[@Jay-Kaizo]

I've come back to these videos many times. Each time I have a better understanding of what you're explaining. I've made a few tutorials of my own because I was inspired by this channel. I wish you still made more of these and am curious if you still play tetris. I'm currently trying to get decent at keyboard tetris. Never being a pc gamer, it's a whole new thing. lol I need better finesse and a lot more practice with PC's. After that, I think I'll be an okay player. Always improving though.

[@wawitetris5887]

first tip: look ahead in the next piece queue me: looks at what the very next piece is other players: already hard dropped 5 pieces in the correct spot edit: one of the tips: try to decrease the amount that you react by knowing where that piece is gonna go ahead of time while on my end, me finding out beforehand where the next piece needs to go takes longer than my reactiontime

[@KingKeita-rw8zx]

I'm trying to stick to the left side but it's hard tbh. I end up just building the left side all the way up and barely being able to get any lines completed

[@remixtheidiot5771]

Keita you're hesitating too much. Once you have a 4 block tall build and an I tetrimino is next, just plop it in. I know getting a double or triple tetris simultaneously is cool but it's impractical and that's holding you back.

[@Inspirator_AG112]

This is my strategy. I have a left slot that is 1 wide, and a 2 wide slot above it. The 1 wide slot is for line pieces and the 2 wide slot is for L, square, T, and Z pieces. The right is used to raise the board. I find though that S pieces are the worst pieces. :(

[@wawitetris5887]

1) if you just commit for the 2 wide rather than doing your hybrid setup it’s probably better for multiplayer 2) the S pieces for your setup can be paired with a T, L, or I. Every time you see S on your next piece queue, try to save one of the others to balance it out. gl! :)

[@tfae]

Yeah, as you clear down the 2wide, it'll narrow down to a 1wide naturally 🙂

[@lifeofgosu491]

I'm stuck at 58 seconds with 60 finesse! I feel like I've probably developed bad habits. I guess it's time to change things up haha.

[@Willie6785]

Same here. Just recently I started practicing better typing habits, as I used to use too few fingers and it was hurting my hands. Now I gotta do the same habit changes in tetris, cause my finesse is definitely bad from what I've learned from the video.

[@wawitetris5887]

playing 40L will get you faster at tetrises, but that may or may not carry over to tspin settups or downstacking depending on whether the limiting factor is your ability to decide where to put the piece or your ability to place the pieces. it’s up to you to determine what the limiting factor is in multiplayer games!

What advice do you have for PS4 players? I am pretty good at Tetris but, if I go fast, I will sometimes misdrop my pieces. It also will depend if I am versing a CPU player or another person. I tend to have slightly more misdrops against another person than against a CPU. I have been climbing the latter in PPT.

[@wawitetris5887]

shouldn’t matter too much what system you’re playing on, the fundamentals are the same. people misdrop for different reasons, you gotta watch your replays and figure out why yours happen. I offered to do replay analysis a while ago, but no one took me up on it lol

Hi Wawi ! What's your point about playing with a controller such as "8Bitdo SF30 Pro" to games like Jstris or Tetrio ? I am a beginner, but I started to play with a controller, I feel more confortable with it. However, I want to be sure I don't have to switch to a keyboard in few months because I reach the controller limit. (I think it's fine, because I know Doremy is playing on PS4 controller, for example, at least on his account named "Sariel")

[@wawitetris5887]

you can play on a controller if you want, most of this video should still apply (although 180 spins weren’t commonly a thing back when I made this lol).

5:22 but but doremy / kaia can finsh a 40l on puyo puyo tetris with a pc cuz it saves a bit

[@wawitetris5887]

yeah, I guess I shouldn’t say it’s impossible. but if you look at the leaderboards, almost every run has 101 or 102 pieces. it certainly would require a decent amount of luck

Puyo puyo players: "nahh that's too complicated, let's just stack puyos and make them fall like a jenga tower".

What would be better, a keyboard, or a controller?

[@wawitetris5887]

I think a keyboard because you can use more fingers, but I’m biased :P

[@poryg5350]

@@wawitetris5887 I'm not exactly sure this reason is relevant. It is not obligatory to use more fingers on keyboard, it is in fact mandatory if you want to have decent speed. You cannot have one finger handling directional movement, one handling turns, one handling hard drop and one handling hold and expect to be fast. The keyboard layout is way too unnatural for this. Keyboard would be really awesome if tetris games allowed hypertapping. Having two sets of controls, asd and 456 for directions, qe79 for turning left and right, space bar for hard drop and 8w for hold. But unfortunately modern tetris games make DAS fastest by a mile.

Best place to practice finesse?

[@wawitetris5887]

probably either jstris or tetresse

[@herculejoestar5809]

DAS faster then tapping? I've seen a couple hyper tappers they are much faster

[@TetraKael]

It depends. If you could adjust DAS (by extent ARR) then DAS is faster than hypertap. But hypertap is much more faster in Classic tetris
