| '''TGM rotation''' is a game play mechanic used in ''[[Tetris The Grand Master]]'' and other Arika tetromino games, derived from [[Sega rotation]]. It is often refered to as ARS (Arika Rotation System), even though some people believe that this name is misleading.
| | #REDIRECT:[[ARS]] |
| | |
| Games using TGM rotation generally use [[IRS#IRS|IRS]], fast [[DAS]], [[lock delay]], and firm [[drop]], and tetrominoes start out with the topmost block on the top row (generally row 20). The "ARS" and "ARS2" modes of ''[[Tetris The Grand Master Ace]]'' use a hybrid of TGM rules and [[Tetris Guideline|Guideline]] rules.
| |
| | |
| == Basic rotation ==
| |
| TGM's basic rotations inherits most of its properties from [[Sega rotation]], which was used in most previous Japanese arcade Tetris games. Some defining characteristics include:
| |
| * Having 2 (as opposed to 4) rotation states for S, Z, and I tetrominoess, which simplifies learning.
| |
| * Keeping tetrominoes at an even level while rotating to always allow rotation when the tetromino is on a flat surface (except for the I tetromino - see exceptions below).
| |
| * Pointing the initial stance of the T, L, and J tetrominoes downward, which adds some extra challenge and also makes it easier for tetrominoes to grab bumps along the surface of the stack when playing at high gravity.

| | |
| == Wall kicks ==
| |
| TGM pioneered the use of [[wall kick]]s, with simple but effective kick rules. These rules were unchanged until [[Tetris The Grand Master 3 Terror-Instinct|TGM3]], remaining constant across [[Tetris The Grand Master|TGM]], [[Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2|TA]], [[Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2 PLUS|TAP]], and [[Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura Eternal Heart|Sakura Tetris]]. Up to 3 locations are tried, in this order, before rotation will fail:
| |
| | |
| *Basic rotation
| |
| *1 space right of basic rotation
| |
| *1 space left of basic rotation
| |
| | |
| In addition to these rules, there are some extra exceptions where certain wall kicks are not allowed:
| |
| | |
| *The I tetromino will never kick.
| |
| *L, J, and T tetrominoes will not rotate in the situations illustrated below if the [[Image:XTet.png|X]] marked block is occupied.

| === I tetromino's floor kicks ===
| |
| The I tetromino can kick the floor.
| |
| | |
| Notes:
| |
| *Like [[hold piece]], floor kick can be performed only once per tetromino.
| |
| *This action causes [[lock delay]] reset.
| |
| *The tetromino cannot kick the floor in mid-air.
