A very important tip for newbies is, don't cover up the garbage hole unless you can resolve it quickly, you're just adding more pressure on your board. and try not to create holes, if you have to stack up higher on the sides, do it, the first 3 and last 3 columns can go past 20 lines from garbage without you topping out.

Maybe a higher level (SS/U?) downstacking and midgame decision making guide with you going over some actual SS/U gameplay (Tetra League replays) could be great

4:16 is the best tetris advice I ever received. Just changed my whole life and my family respects me now.

I didn't realize how inefficient my staking was until I played the eternal exercise. Thanks for that!

[Nobody-ldjq]

When you watch this as a high U rank, crap, I'm still in these habits

[CouncilOfTheLostGoats]

Great clear and concise intro into beginner/intermediate Tetris playing. Truly the go-to video for understanding the terms and strategies in Tetris.
Thanks for the video!

bro I went from chess to Tetris so I didn't need to learn theory but I still need to learn theory

You forgot the most important tip:

1:13 Thats not necessary an I-piece dependency. Clever thing you can do is to use L or J piece, rotated so it's longer side will sit on a stack. This one block will just create a line that will disapear leaving place for future I-pieces

I always felt like a good player when I play, but I can't recover from garbage at all so thanks for teaching me how to fix it (and crush the opponent before it even comes!)

Really good tutorial
Being somewhat good at placing pieces this helped me double my APM

[CherryPie_s]

this was super helpful, im currently in c- (was unranked for a little) downstacking and upstacking tips are incredible thank you so much

1:16 : it's better to put the J piece in the left well, and then start doing 2 wide.
*SPIKY*

just a note for apm, uhh high apm doesnt necessarily mean mega pro. Until I got to X, I had a good 20apm above my opponents (still do), but i send clean garbage, so I get absolutely demolished. A high apm doesnt directly translate to high skill.

4:51 what type of tetris game is that?

[obamaprisim]

Something about the dependencies, I'm a B+ to an A- and I've spotted some inconsistencies, don't take this as a hate comment, but just to point out, there is only 1 true dependency and that's the I piece dependency. The others can actually flip flop against each other. Like let's say you have an L dependency, you can put an I piece into that L dependency in order for it to change to a J dependency. But it still stays as a dependency. It's same for a 2 wide dependency for example.

[wawaispro]

I wasn't gonna leave a comment but I heard chao garden music so you earned it

[thearmyofiron]

playing 2wide is enough to get from D to S XD
personal experience.
But after that, it hits a limit

Another til is if you get a quad combo quick enough you can send extra lines depending on how fast you were.
