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.
