SRS Rotation and Wall Kicks

Difficulty: Intermediate

An adjustment that completes a rotation even when blocked by a wall or other pieces.

SRS (Super Rotation System) is the standard rotation ruleset for modern falling block puzzles. Each piece has a defined pivot point and orientation, making rotation outcomes predictable.

A wall kick is an adjustment that, when a piece can't rotate in place because it's blocked by a wall or other pieces, nudges the piece slightly in a defined sequence and attempts the rotation again. This lets pieces change orientation even in tight gaps or right next to a wall.

Understanding the wall kick movement rules lets you deliberately set up advanced techniques like T-spins or wedging under overhangs. SRS is the foundation of every rotation-based technique.
