The SZ Cross is a T-Spin opening designed by player XaeL. This setup is essentially an unintuitive Imperial Cross. A player utilizes the SZ ST stacking setup opening followed by J and L to complete an Imperial Cross.
This opening is effective for the following reasons:
- Especially useful for SZ starts, where no I piece is present for the TKI 3 Opening.
- Fiddlesworth can require a significant amount of softdropping. This alleviates it, with only T-Spins using softdrops.
- In games where T-Spin Singles and T-Spin Triples are negated or less potent, this is an effective replacement.
A huge disadvantage of this opening though is the Double used to create the Imperial Cross. The double wastes a T piece that otherwise could have been used in a T-Spin which makes this opener ineffective against other T-Spin openers such as TKI, MKO or Mountainous Stacking.

Notes
- Since the SZ Cross and SZ Double Triple Attack have similar starts, it is wise to learn both, as they complement each other. The difference between the two is the extra block marked 'X'. If soft drop is undesirable, SZ Cross is a good alternative to SZ DT.
|
- You may convert the Imperial Cross to a Fractal.
