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 piece

O -> L

Solutions:

This is a redundant setup that can sometimes get you another Tetris.

L -> O

Solutions:

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

S/Z piece

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 redundant setup that can sometimes get you another Tetris.

S/Z -> O

Solutions:

I piece

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.

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.

Extra O shapes

Butter box

This is the highest-scoring extra O setup, and is easy to solve.

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:

Extra I shapes

Extra I TKI

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

Solutions:

Extra S/Z

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 a different setup, as it is the O that is placed last. Very good for scoring.
