Imperial Cross Setups

Imperial cross is essentially a T-Spin Triple with an extra gap, turning it into a cross. Two T-Spin doubles are reaped from this setup. A T-Spin triple wallkick, followed by a double rotation, is used to place the first T piece in the correct position.

Opening
In games that only reward no-kick T-Spin Single and Double like Tetris Evolution and Tetris Splash, Imperial Cross becomes a useful opening.

TSD -> Imperial Cross

Stacking SL and ZJ results in a T-Spin Double that reveals an Imperial Cross.

Alternatives
The second T-Spin Double can be replaced with a T-Spin Triple. The replacement of the second T-Spin Double can lead into a Triple Double Attack.
