An S and Z start may be handled differently, depending on the player style, skill and the game mode (multiplayer, etc..) .

Soft-drop method

This method consist in placing a tetriamino under the first piece.

Platform method

Since soft-drop method tends to slows the player, he may use the platform method. It consists in making a platform over the first line.

T-Spin Method

A T-Spin may be used to clear the first two lines line of the stack.

Back to back tetris method

The player may "ignore" the first line and build a tetris to clear the hole.
