While you can hold a tetrad in most modes of Tetris Friends, you may find that keeping an I-block is as hard as letting one come naturally. However, this strategy is sometimes self defeating if you've grown used to creating and demolishing Tetris only bluffs.Ī 2-block wide chute approach also increases the height of your blocks by an appreciable amount, as the space that is taken up by the empty slots in the wider hole is built up all over the rest of your playfield.Ī tetris cliff is what tends to happen when you keep building up blocks and waiting for an I-block that may never come. While you won't be able to get Tetris line completions with a wider (2-block) chute, this wide chute approach will also let you complete lines using any block that's 2-blocks wide (and not the I-block). This will put you in dangerous territory as more blocks come down and your opponents will send dummy blocks onto your screen.Ī more conservative (but less dangerous) approach is to build a wider channel for your blocks. If you only get J/L, O, Z/S, and T blocks for a period of time, you will never be able to complete a line. Notice the very fine, single block wide chute you manufacture soley for the insertion of the I-block. This is the preferred terrain for making four line completions (the Tetris) and generally devastating an opponent's playfield with dummy blocks.īuilding a tetris bluff though, takes time.

Having such a low height means you're not in any danger of being KO'ed (in competitive matches) or losing (Sprint, Marathon, and others) but it also means you cannot score many points.Īs your plains terrain accrues new blocks and pieces, it will take on a different name as it evolves into one of the following features (see below). This is how most matches start, with you hard dropping tetrads straight down to get something like a line across with the initial few pieces.
