*I will survive* This piece sequence will kill you eventually, no matter what you do. The video was made for this TetrisWiki article:
harddrop.com/wiki/A_deadly_piece_sequence
Pretty much all pieces are dropped vertically in 5 lanes. Here some timecode when something interesting happens (S = green piece, Z = red piece):
0:22 The middle lane is switched from S to Z
0:47 An S is dropped in 4th & 5th column, immediately after a Z in 6th & 7th column. This clears the hole that was created at 0:22.
0:55 A Z is dropped in 8th & 9th column, shortly after another Z in 2nd & 3rd column.This switches the color of the 4 side lanes.
1:01 Bottom is reached again. The 3 lanes in the middle have now the same color and height as in the beginning. Thus it's possible to repeat the procedure.
1:25 The middle lane is switched from S to Z
1:49 An S is dropped in 4th & 5th column, shortly after a Z in 6th & 7th column.
1:57 Bottom is reached again. S is put on Z lanes and vice versa. This wastes 2 rows but now the situation from the beginning is restored. From here on the procedure is iterated.
Game is NullpoMino 7.5. If you want to play with the same piece sequence:
1. Create a file called sequence.txt in the NullpoMino main folder. Open the textfile with Notepad and just enter the 2 letters SZ and save.
2. With the help of ruleeditor.bat, create a rule file using the FixedSequence randomizer. Choose the corresponding rule as current rule.
Here the proof that this piece sequence will kill you:
