DPC Setups

When you do a perfect-clear loop that takes 8 lines to complete, such as First-Second perfect clear, SingleYou or Mountainous Stacking, you will be left with an empty board and an extra piece. A DPC setup will use the extra piece and 2 bags to create a T-Spin and a perfect clear, bringing you back to the beginning with no extra pieces, to continute the loop.

Note: All setups on this page are 100%, however, you may need 180 spins for some solves.

O -> L
Solutions:

This is a solve that can get you a Tetris where others wouldn’t, but is not neccessary.

L -> O
Note: This is the most efficient Extra O DPC.

Solutions:

These are 2 setups that can get you extra T-Spins.

O -> S/Z
Notably, this shape is the same as the extra O DPC when you have O before L, so it has the same solutions.

Solutions:

This is a solve that can get you a Tetris where others wouldn’t, but is not neccessary.

S/Z -> O
Solutions:

The last solution may sometimes yield a TSS or TSD.

O -> I
This setup will have to be mirrored depending on whether J or L comes first.

Solutions:

JL -> O
This setup will have to be mirrored depending on whether S or Z comes first.

Solutions:

These are 2 setups that can get you extra T-Spins.

I -> O -> L
This pattern, when mirrored, will cover the bags not covered by the previous 2 setups.

Solutions:

J/L piece
Note: These setups are not 100% consistent without 180 spins.

S -> Z
If you have the L piece, the piece requirement is flipped.

Solutions:

Z -> S
Different builds depending on whether the O or the S comes first. Occasionally, you will only get a T-spin Mini, but the setup makes up for it with it's T-spin chances. 66.67% T-spin single, 33.33% T-spin double, 33.33% T-spin single + Tetris.

Solutions:

T piece
There is only 1 pattern needed, however it will need to be mirrored denpding on whether L or J comes first.

T
Solutions:

Extra scoring setups
These setups are not needed to do DPC, however if you are playing TETR.IO Blitz or Jstris Ultra, you can build these setups for extra T-Spin/Tetris chances.

Two line Perfect Clear
Whenever you have an extra O, there is a 1/7 chance to have a 2-height perfect clear, into TSZ 7th. This is by far the best scoring setup, and TSZ 7th is easy to learn.

TSZ 7th build:

Solutions:

Butter box
This is an easy setup to learn, and scores a lot under high-gravity pressure in TETR.IO blitz. Good to learn.

Solutions:

This is a solution that can get you an extra T-Spin.

Extra O TKI
This setup is very easy to learn, and has good Tetris/T-Spin chances. There are 2 different ways to build it.

Solutions:

This is a solution that can get you an extra T-Spin.

Slanted Extra O TKI
Very similar to the normal TKI, however scores a lot more with it's 2 extra T-Spin solves, in exchange for a lower build rate.

Solutions:

These are 3 solutions that can get you an extra T-Spin.

O -> S
This creates the same shape as O DPC when you have L before O

Solutions:

These are 2 setups that can get you extra T-Spins.

Extra S TKI
This is an interesting setup, as it is the O that is placed last. Very good for scoring.

Solutions:

This is a solve that can get you an extra T-Spin.

Yet another O L -> O congruent
This setup is so efficient, you have 3 ways of building it!

Solutions:

These are 2 setups that can get you extra T-Spins.

Extra I TKI
There are 3 different ways to build this setup. Very similar to the extra O TKI.

Solutions:

This is a solution that can get you an extra T-Spin.

J/O -> S, L -> I
A decent extra J DPC with good coverage, and is easy to learn. There are 2 ways to build the setup.

Solutions:

Note: The first 2 solutions have 98% coverage.

STSD DPC
Note: This setup is 99.72%

Solutions:

These are some extra solves that can get you into T-Spins.

Extra T DPC
If you want some extra score, you can build DPC instead of a SPC. Creates the same shape as Extra J S -> Z
