T-spins are worth more garbage blocks. I'm trying to wean myself off using a single flip button and learning to use both, but I've gotten into the top ten with just one button before.

I found an old page describing T-spins and saw something I didn't know--is it still the case in this game that the only qualifier for a T-spin single is that three of the four corners are blocks? So even if you technically performed a T-spin to make a line, it still wouldn't count if there were only two corner blocks?

Is it a good strat? I stopped doing it when I saw that good players were deliberately stacking high to reach near-KO status, so that they could drop a bomb by targeting a whole bunch of attackers at once.

The elegant theme is... ok. It's main advantage is that the music is pretty chill so I never feel like I'm in a battle to the death.

Should I make an anki deck or something to memorize common T-spin triple setups because christ I have been practicing in marathon mode for hours and I still have very little success in successfully setting them up, even after studying the patterns on the Tetris wiki.

A bit of both. Sometimes I see a small region that I remember from the wiki as something that can be turned into a setup for a triple, but in the heat of battle I can't really visualize or recall the pieces I need to complete the setup. The wiki also has some techniques for cleaning up the mess you leave afterwards and I can't recall those properly too.

This feels untrue. I can do doubles pretty well and often already, but when I try to go for a triple I get nothing but catastrophe. Although to be fair Tafo's video on triples itself warns about the consequences, so I guess it's normal.
