STSD

General Formation

Empty Field Setups

Other Setups

T blocks are not required in the upstack of these setups. Hold the T pieces until you are ready to clear both T-spin doubles.

STSD with T Base

Because a T piece is used in base these setups, the player must wait until at least the 3rd bag before having both T pieces required for clearing the STSD. By this point, there will be a decent 2-wide above the STSD (see discussion below).

General Tips

• An STSD setup can be used over an empty column. This can be very useful when approaching rows that are too high to set up a TSD or if the player wants to sneak in a second T-Spin Double. When used in combination with tetrises, this technique can be very deadly.

• When placing a STSD over a tetris column, a player can still tetris if the notch has not been set up.

Notch is not OK.

Overhang is OK.
