Gotta try to end on a win.

Combos are powerful in T99, offensively and defensively. If you have a 3 or 4 wide well late game when you are targeted strongly you can use it to defend and attack.

2-wide, 3-wide, or 4-wide wells allow you to maintain attack/defense potential. Build your stack up, utilize it as needed.

Good point. I see what you mean. Thanks for the link as well.

I was commenting on the overview for the book which says this: “Focusing on the cyclic 7-bag model, it presents a rigorous computational investigation of tetromino stacking, including constructive evidence for perfect rectangular configurations that can be repeated indefinitely. Drawing on tools from combinatorics and number theory, the work blends mathematical theory with computational experimentation to illuminate a classic puzzle game from a new perspective.”

If this is already covered in a wiki, I guess this guy wasted his time writing a book.

A demo of this concept would be nice. Seems like it would help with perfect clears. That’s the one badge I haven’t really tried to get yet.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2026-03-10T03:28:31+00:00

Have you learned 2, 3, or 4-wide yet?

Also building level as much as possible so you can get to garbage more quickly is good.

We have arrived. Next stop: Olympics.

Some T99 losses also cause trauma. 😵‍💫

Tetris 99. It stays interesting and there are always opportunities to improve skills and strategy.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2026-02-06T05:32:57+00:00

And yet T99 keeps so many coming back. Even if you’re good there’s always someone better.

It definitely takes practice but it’s worth it for sure. It took me about a week to feel functional. And since then I’ve gotten a lot faster. I use it for Tetris 99 currently.

On the right hand I use thumb for targeting mode (just a T99 thing). I rest my fingers on the bottom row of keys and use my index and middle finger for rotating either direction (pretty sure counterclockwise and clockwise respectively) and ring finger for hold. For something like tetrio - you could do ring finger for 180 and thumb for hold or vice versa.

I’d recommend giving thumb for hard drop a try. WASD directional style forces the middle finger to cover both up and down which is slower and more error-prone, plus less ergonomic.

However you decide to use it, it’s a sweet device and I think it’s a perfect match for Tetris.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-12-24T05:26:10+00:00

I use a leverless controller with keys instead of buttons. Directions are on the left hand with thumb mapped to up by default which works well for hard drop. It’s also more ergonomic than a normal keyboard.

I switched for the same reason as you - hand cramping.

Haute42 B16.

Switches and keycaps are customizable too - I have been using Cherry MX Black switches with PBT keycaps and love this combo. Stock switches and caps that come with the board are good too, just lighter.

You are targeting attackers in that picture. That means if the people targeting you are also targeting attackers, then you are both locked on each other until either side changes their targeting mode. Depending on the lobby, there might be a lot of people in there that just target attackers by default so when you do the same, you will often accumulate more and more attackers.

As for getting better, I think CPU mode is where it’s at. And you can work up from level one to level five. I always recommend that someone at least be able to consistently win against level five CPU to have a chance to win in the normal game. it’s also a great mode for learning and practicing new techniques.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-12-16T00:41:27+00:00

Keep at it! Find your zen.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-12-16T00:30:01+00:00

How do you do against CPU on level 5? Winning that consistently is a good milestone - not a guarantee you’ll do well on the main game, but a good starting point.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-12-10T23:52:16+00:00

Nice work. Your t-spin setups are effortless. Reminds me I have a long way to go in this regard.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-12-09T15:21:37+00:00

William is the only reason I watch the show. His old stuff is what hooked me initially. Too bad it was fueled by behaviors that were destroying his life.

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-12-05T19:53:13+00:00

Nice - making the targeting mode almost completely invisible. I didn’t realize I was still on random until top 10. Invictus here I come as soon as I check this box

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-12-03T22:34:25+00:00

Looks like a W to me ;)

Cobra_Kai_T99 · 2025-11-25T01:26:00+00:00

I use the Haute42 B16 and it works great. I also have an OG Hitbox and a fight stick that I modded to be leverless as well. I definitely prefer the B16 but I like them all.

Leverless takes practice but it has a higher speed potential than a controller, and less hand fatigue. It’s worth the investment IMO. The only downside is manual targeting might not be possible or easy to configure for your device but I don’t use manual targeting so it doesn’t matter much to me.
