Modern Tetris 101 - Tetris Splash

Tetris has changed a lot in the past 20 years. For people who haven't played Tetris since the old Nintendo versions, this tutorial will tell you all you need to play the competitive online Tetris games and get the achievements in Tetris Splash. I also threw in a quick 40 lines run-through at the end.

This is a great tutorial! Any chance you could do one exclusivly for planning out moves by looking at the next piece?

You should be planning farther ahead than just the next piece. I just play with a basic strategy of attacking whenever I get a certain piece, but there are better ways than that. You'll want to look up something called ST Stacking. There are demonstrations of ST Stacking in other games on YouTube, and they should apply to Splash as well. Tetris Concept covers this type of stacking in depth, so check that out if you're interested.

dude ur sick!! can anyone give a good guide on gettin the old school technique?? by completing a game of tetris does it mean get to like lvl 50 or clearing the bloks??? id never do that... ever. esp without hold!!

In Tetris Splash, Marathon mode ends when you clear level 15, after a total of 600 lines. Some things add bonus lines to let you get to 600 faster, like Back-to-Back Tetrises, T-spin line scores, and combos.

My 40 lines time here isn't all that great. If you want to see sick speed, check out Caffeine's 40 lines time attack. That guy is a legend.

Thsi game reminds me a lot of the game called The New Tetris Nintendo 64 Game, some of the moves that i see here are very similar to the ones used in The New Tetris

I DON'T WANT TO PLAY AGAINST YOU xD

It just takes practice. Just play the game for a couple months in multiplayer and work on your speed, and you'll get about this fast too.

Meh. This game seems like Tetris Worlds. I didn't like that tetris much. Didn't like the controls either with Up being hard drop. Also don't like the regular 360 controller. I use to play Tetrinet and Tetrinet 2 a lot back in the day. Now those were some tetris games.
