The Basics to T-Spins

2006-06-01 23:29:02

Ok here goes. This is basically everything you need to know about T-spins...

A t-spin occurs when you rotate the T-block to move into a space that it shouldn't naturally fit into, OR can only fit into by rotation.

Let me show you.
T-Spin(Clears no lines):
__________
__________
_T________
TTT_______
_XXXX_____

Rotate Clockwise

Normally the piece would look like this:
(WRONG)
__________
__________
_T________
_TT_______
_TXXX_____
(Notice that the two blocks overlap)

Instead, the piece will end up like this:
(RIGHT)
__________
__________
T_________
TT________
TXXXX_____



T-Spin Single(Clears one line):
__________
_________T
XXXXXXXXTT
XXXXXXX__T

Rotate Clockwize:
(WRONG)
__________
_________T
XXXXXXXXTTT
XXXXXXX___
(Obviously this won't work)

Instead, the piece will end up like this:
(RIGHT)

__________
__________
XXXXXXXXT_
XXXXXXXTTT



T-Spin Double(Clears two line):
__________
____TXX___
XXXTT_XXXX
XXXXTXXXXX

Rotate CounterClockwize:
(RIGHT)

__________
_____XX___
XXXTTTXXXX
XXXXTXXXXX



T-Spin Triple(Clears Three lines):
__________
____TXX___
___TTTX___
XXXXX_XXXX
XXXX__XXXX
XXXXX_XXXX

Rotate CounterClockwise

Normally the piece would look like this:
(WRONG)
__________
____TXX___
___TT_X___
XXXXT_XXXX
XXXX__XXXX
XXXXX_XXXX
(Notice that the two blocks overlap)

Instead, the piece will end up like this:
(RIGHT)
__________
_____XX___
______X___
XXXXXTXXXX
XXXXTTXXXX
XXXXXTXXXX


Take note that these are not the only ways to perform t-spins, but these are the most common.



This is what T-Spin's will do:

T-Spin - 100 pts (Also sends 0 line)

T-Spin single - 200 pts (Also sends 2 lines)
BtoB - 300 pts (Also sends 3 lines)

T-Spin double - 1200 pts (Also sends 4 lines)
BtoB - 1800 pts (Also sends 5 lines)

T-Spin triple - 1600 pts (Also Sends 6 lines)
BtoB - 2400 pts (also sends 7 lines)
