A very basic tip for Tetris in general, but definitely something worth sticking to. If you’re not a seasoned Tetris player, you may not be completely down with the idea of stacking up tetrominos in your grid, but leaving one column on either the left or the right open ready for the long, cyan ‘I’ piece.

Clearing four lines (more commonly known as a ‘Tetris’) will help you out no-end in both attacking and countering.

Clearing Tetris combos, Tetrises back-to-back or just doing one every so often will not only dole out a ton of hurt to rival players, but will also clear out your incoming queue ridiculously quickly.

Doubles and triples are also useful, so don’t scratch them off your to-do list in-game, but a hefty Tetris clear is your best friend in Tetris 99.
