ST Stacking
ST stacking is a more-or-less sustainable (under Random Generator) method of stacking tetrominoes to form successive 4-line clears and T-spins. In Tetris DS standard mode, this stacking method achieves near maximum points per line. It's superficially similar to one of the T-spin triple setups but allegedly easier to learn.
First build this |
Drop an S |
Spin a T |
T-spin double |
Leaves one row |
Build more layers |
Another S and T |
T-spin double |
Leaves another |
After a few rows of garbage have accumulated, use I tetrominoes to break it down:
Look at the mess |
Aisle 2? "I" know |
Another S and T |
T-spin double | ||||
Build more |
Drop next I |
Tetorisu! |
Ahh, that's better. |
