Thanks to this incredible video, I have not only learned how to do adjustments in Tetris, but also in my personal life. I now have adjusted my income to the six figures, adjusted the way my fellow employee contemporaries view me (more favorably), and even have adjusted Earth's climate colder by 1.1C (1.98F), allowing it to now equal pre-industrial averages. This power is unmitigated and unstoppable, I will continue to adjust this planet to fit my desires. I am the arbiter of order.
awesome video, so glad this exists now. just for fun, here's a concept that, err, goes completely against something said in the video: **adjust to the normal position from the "adjustment position"**. The idea is that by making a "worse" placement at first (e.g. intentionally setting up an I dependency), you inherently make yourself more nervous, so you trick yourself into reacting faster. Also, from my experience, it feels easier to stop yourself from pressing a button when reacting, which is what happens here. I've tried this out a bit and had some success with it (also a ton of fails but that's just how adjustments are lol). I'm not trying to say this is better than what's suggested in the video, I have no clue if that's true or not. But I think it's still fun to consider, and I want to demonstrate that adjustment theory goes much deeper than you might think, and there's a ton of ways to optimize and experiment. They're the coolest part of the game, and this quality a video is exactly what the topic deserves.
Tristop, you are truly a gem. I have no idea how hard it is to produce these sorts of videos, but it's very impressive, informative, and appreciated! This hard work may or may not always pay off, but know that there is someone out there who is rooting for you! Please keep making more videos, you are an incredible creator with a great personality and style. YOU NICE, KEEP GOING!!!
Awesome video! Another con I thought of is that when you make an adjustment, you are not able to make an adjustment on the following piece. So adjustments should ideally be done when the rest of your board is in relatively good shape. (There's risk reward though because the adjustment could improve your board state overall as well.) For example, let's say you see a potential OJ adjustment on the right side of the board, while the left side of your board is totally flat (with a slight dip next to the well for the OJ to go). You could build out your left with the O but you go for the adjustment instead. Next piece you get is an S or Z though, but you're committed to the OJ adjustment tuck, which forces you to awkwardly place the S or Z in a way to set up a future tuck or burn. What we should've done was just throw that O all the way left since the OJ adjustment doesn't really make our board that much better in the end. This way, when we get the J, we can decide whether we want to make an adjustment on whatever piece comes after. I think about this a lot when playing pentris, and admittedly this concept matters way less in nestris than in pentris. But I do notice a decent amount of issues come up when I do too many adjustments in pentris. I think the takeaway is that if you don't need to make an adjustment (i.e. the adjustment doesn't significantly improve your board health), then maybe don't, because you might need to make one on your next piece.
Very very nice video with excellent animations. Honestly this amazingly well done and I'm super impressed Tristop! Really showing your Tetris and video editing skills.
Thanks very much for this Tristop, your playstyle alongside Nenu actually inspired me to make dedicated sessions to learn adjustments, this is very helpful te quiero mucho
i'm just imagining you having the whole video ready and then having to watch like half an hour of ctwc matches until you found a clip of someone saying microadjustments
There’s a bit of clips sprinkled in of people doing adjustments but yeah I wasn’t thinking of making a compilation of any sort. Adjustments are extremely common in high level play and if you want to see a bunch, with any masters match you’ll probably see a lot in even just the first two minutes of a match
As a modern Tetris player, whenever I play classic Tetris (in Tetris Effect) 90% of the adjustments I see are T spins. T spin vision helps me see a lot of nice donations, but generally is a hinderance because sometimes I play greedy for a funny T spin.
Thank you so much for this video. Would you consider doing a video more oriented towards beginners, about fundamentals of stacking with some examples? As someone who's playing Tetris at a rather amateurish level, I am always fascinated how well the pros build up their stack and how they almost always have an available spot for a piece. A video about the default placements and how to minimize things spiraling out of control and keeping an accommodating board would be so awesome. Also, can somebody tell me why it's called VITS? I've heard it and seen it so many times, but I never really understood where the name came from.
Stacking is such a large topic that is like to maybe get to in the future. Among the top players, some topics regarding specific aspects of stacking can be controversial so I’ve held off making it a top priority since it’s not like something like adjustments since everyone does the same adjustments but every stacks different. I’d probably whittle down the most objective aspects of stacking that are more beginner friendly and ask for feedback from others and then that’s when I’d probably make a stacking video or something like that I started writing the script to a guide 18 and post-transition pace, like what is good pace, how to keep track, etc. but got sidetracked by college applications and school in general but I’m still thinking about making more guides. Also about VITS, it stands for vertical I tuck setup. I realized right after I uploaded the video that I forgot to include the definition which I planned to have so kicking myself a bit about that haha. That reminds me I’ll just put it in the description for now.
@@TristopTetris Yeah, I figure it would be a very complex thing to tackle, because there can be so much variety when you're stacking. But in truth any insight from top players such as you would be very helpful to us scrubs. At any rate, thank you for your response and good luck with college.
I didn't realize there was a name for that. I've played that way for as long as I can really remember. (GB and modern; I don't really play NES Tetris.)
Even tho Nes tetris may look slower, the time time it takes for a piece to lock in place is way greater than in tgm, this comment is very ignorant and comes just from not understanding the game
Yes sir.

hi
Cool. Can you adjust the curvature of my spine?

Thanks tristop, now im addicted to adjustments
Clown moment

3:41 setting up VITS with longbar LMAO
like why not just put it in the hole first
VITS my beloved 😍

easiest adjustment is adjusting to tristop’s amazing youtube content
I have to disagree since that is just the default placement

I'd love to see more like this. Especially on tactics on Saves. How to fix your ruined stacks. I'm asbolutely terrible at that
Very very nice video with excellent animations. Honestly this amazingly well done and I'm super impressed Tristop! Really showing your Tetris and video editing skills.
bro where has this been all my life 🥴 where was this when I was coaching 🥴🥴🥴
Which is to say awesome video!! You rock Tristop. See you on Friday!!
That's the best video editing in Tetris tutorial content I've ever seen.
Thanks very much for this Tristop, your playstyle alongside Nenu actually inspired me to make dedicated sessions to learn adjustments, this is very helpful te quiero mucho
Best nestris tutorial ever no cap fr ong
Happy birthday
AMAZING video, I can easily see this being a key resource in plenty of newer players' tetris journeys. really excellently presented and explained
Nice Explanation on how to make adjustments. I wondered how players were able to pull those off.
This is the greatest NES Tetris guide video ever made!
i'm just imagining you having the whole video ready and then having to watch like half an hour of ctwc matches until you found a clip of someone saying microadjustments
lmao i was scared i'd have to search a long time for it but got lucky and it only took like 5 minutes
Amazing video dude! Super well done. It was very well scripted and explained. You da man!
It would have been great to see, at the end of the video, some real world usage of the adjustments. They're so cool to see live.

Adjustments are extremely common in high level play and if you want to see a bunch, with any masters match you’ll probably see a lot in even just the first two minutes of a match
Haven't watched the vid yet, but just wanted to say that making that adjustment at 0:18 with mindmeld is crazy
YOOOOOO IT'S ME IM ON TV 5:15
whyd you zoom in on the other guy its me im the top player real not fake
"other key adjustment tips include blurring the screen at 6:24 so you can't see whatever that was"
what's crazy is that since the world record's 6.4 where the arrow is at 9:43 is probably like a maxout
ayyyyy good video tristop
Bros the content king
Thank you for introducing me to such a high level of strategy that I now understand I will never be a competitive tetris player
The quality of this video!
Cool video, and I liked the acknowledgement of the extra challenge das players have with pulling off adjustments.
very cool video man. also, paper mario music is awesome
As a modern Tetris player, whenever I play classic Tetris (in Tetris Effect) 90% of the adjustments I see are T spins. T spin vision helps me see a lot of nice donations, but generally is a hinderance because sometimes I play greedy for a funny T spin.
Love it! Never knew the adjustments have names :D
I have needed something just like this, thank you so much!
Amazing video tristop!
you’re my stacking idol for a reason 😎
Wow this is great content!
I also love Paper Mario
overadjusting is sadly very real. my favorite is when i think of a cool adjustment and proceed to do it despite getting the wrong next piece
great video! vits gang

Really nice video. But why did I suddenly feel running down a very long bridge as a young teenager again? ❤
Excellent!
5:15 he did in fact, not lose to huff
average "I need to burn" fan vs average VITS enjoyer
2:24 truly a reason to use red fireball YEP
Good video bruh

good
nice
After playing TGM3/Shirase all this NES Tetris scene seems like a joke. :-/

@@ehhhhhhhhhhk I recommend you to type "TG3 Shirase" in youtube's search
This is a good video.
I have received the vandweller seal of approval
The Paper Mario is strong with this one…
Where can we get e_flat7's software?
There isn't a public version currently out yet, I used an older version that was sent to me a couple years ago
@@TristopTetris Thx man! Would be great to use a public version. BTW, excellent vídeo, i love it!
