DC-Spin

DC-Spin/Double C-Spin is a setup started with a T-Spin Triple which was then followed by another T-Spin Triple with a broad amount of covered variations. This setup was created by a Hard Drop member named Aitch. It has a similiar pattern as C-Spin but with the first T-Spin Triple is placed a row higher. This setup uses up to 4 bags. The first and the second bag is always possible and the third and fourth bag has a very high chance.

"I know you said you were not into long openers, and I can respect that. However, the DC-Spin seems to have a consistency most other long openers don't have, and being slow at picking a variation mid setup can be solved by lots of practice." - Aitch

First Bag

By using either the normal or mirrored version, stacking up the first bag for this setup is always possible.

Second Bag

You can stack the second bag in a way that looks like this.

Please do note the piece dependancy on the stack above. If both Z and T come before O in the second bag, the stack shown above won't be possible. Instead, please pick either one of these placements.

Please choose carefully on which side should one should put their O on, since the first piece of the next bag will have to fill the hole in order to achieve a T-Spin Triple. Please do also note that L needs another piece to be placed above it in order for the kick to work.

At some occasions, T might come first in the next bag. In that case, Doing a T-Spin Double then filling the hole with the next piece is much more recommended instead of placing T to cover the hole. That way, there would be 2 garbage lines loss but T won't be wasted as a result.

If O is the first piece in the next bag, it's best to place it directly on top of the previous O and then use the next piece after to fill the hole. But if the hole-filling block after O is an I, you can place the O on either side of the terrain.

In a very slight chance where O is forced to be placed on either side of the hole because of a limited amount of visible NEXT pieces, just place the O and hope that the place picked is right.

Third Bag

This bag has so many variations depending on the pattern chosen on the previous bag and the piece order on this bag.

Pattern 1

The pattern above is the most common second bag pattern.

(If S on the example below is placed on the far right side, it has to be put after executing the T-Spin Triple and indicates an Imperial Cross continuation on the 4th bag.)

(If O on the example below is placed on the far right side, it has to be put after executing the T-Spin Triple and indicates a T-Spin Triple continuation on the 4th bag.)

There is also a continuation which could be used if S comes very late on the third bag. I, O, L and J can be stacked in various ways.

There is also an Imperial Cross option, too. There are more ways of doing this other than the ones shown below.

(The 4th and 6th diagrams' odd overhang indicates a [DT Cannon] continuation on the 4th bag)

There is a TSD C-Spin option as well. This is especially possible if T comes early on the third bag. T has to be spun before any blocks can be placed directly above it. There are more ways of doing this than shown below.

Pattern 2

The pattern above is when O was placed on the left side on the second bag.

There are many options especially if you opt for Imperial Cross or C-Spin.

Pattern 3

The pattern above is when O was placed on the right side on the second bag.

Fourth Bag

This bag don't actually have continuation and players can actually just do whatever they want from here. There are some suggestions worth trying, though.

T-Spin Double continuation after the most common form.

If I on the third bag is placed on the left side instead, T-Spin Triple continuation after the most common form is more likely.

If Imperial Cross continuation was used on the third bag, making a DT Cannon on the 4th bag is definitely recommended. It's also not hard to do impromptu.

For TSD C-Spin, Z must come before both T or I.
