Help with T-spins

[KionTheBeast]

so ive been having trouble with my t spin minis on the right side of the matrix, where its just a flast surface and 90 degree twist...chopins twist guide says to soft drop left rotate, but when i do that, it just moves the tetromino left, and doesnt rotate. help?

You need to make sure that there's a matrix for one side of the T-piece to get in
AND, you need to make sure the T piece landed on the surface and actually touches

try using fumen to diagram the situation

If you do that then we can more easily answer any questions.

EDIT:okay ill do that


the matrix looks like this

you're using left-rotate right?

[Paradox]

if it moves right then you are using the wrong rotation, you should be using counter-clockwise (left) rotation. If its on nullpo go to your tuning setings and check what yoru default rotation direction is.

My bad, it moved left, not right

[Paradox]

show us what it did using fumen, its easier to understand

The fumen tool is very hard to use for beginners. I'm currently using it anyway. I just hope something cool happen after I mastered using this tool.  The road to become a Tetris master is very hard. I'm also having a hard time on T-spin, not only on the part that Kion is talking about but also on the part where I wanted to do it continuously and much faster. How I wish I could fix my stacking technique in a much cleaner way.

- btw I can only do the t-spin on the start but after that it's all mess that is why I'm always end up a loser.

Different rotate gives you different result.

I always end up doing situation B

[XaeL]

You're pressing the wrong rotate button.

Use the other rotation button if the hole is on the right side.

There are two rotate buttons. One rotates counter-clockwise (aka left) or clockwise (aka right).
Not everyone knows

[DarthDuck]

Good point Chopin. If a beginner isn't rotating the correct way then it is probably because they are only aware of right-rotate since TF and TB hide left-rotate with default controls.
