| In creating a [[Tetris Attack/Skill chains|skill chain]], you can create unusually large combos with even just one set of blocks, such as the pictured 8 and 9 combos. Even larger are possible, though frequently take a lot of setup time. | | In creating a [[Tetris Attack/Skill chains|skill chain]], you can create unusually large combos with even just one set of blocks, such as the pictured 8 and 9 combos.

| ==Finding combo opportunities==
| |
| Now that you know the different types of combos, how do you go about finding them? These images will walk through the process where some matches are improved to become better combos.
| |
| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_1.png|thumb|left|Stop before you make the easy match, and find the 5 combo.]]
| |
| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_2.png|thumb|right|3 and 4 purples are right there, but a couple switches and a 5 can be made.]]
| |
| In the first image, switching where the cursor is could make a match. But look at the rows above and below: there’s an additional green block close by in both rows! Switch those over first, and then you can switch for the 5 combo. In the next image, the purples create an interesting array where 3 and 4 are obvious, but a few switches makes the 5 possible. The main thing to remember when going for these simple vertical 5 combos is that the middle panel will be the last one to switch.

| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_3.png|thumb|left|There’s an easy green match and an easy yellow match, so put them together.]]
| |
| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_4.png|thumb|right|There’s a blue match and a red match... but a detour switch can be made to organize them together.]]
| |
| In this next image, there are a number of greens and yellows together in the bottom right corner. Instead of creating the green match and then the yellow, move a yellow panel over so that you create both matches together. With the next image, the blues and reds in the bottom left could happen together if the middle red panel was where the yellow panel is amongst the blue, but be careful! If you just tried to move it over, you would form the red match before you got there. Instead, move one of the other reds out of the way temporarily so that you can move the middle red to the correct location, then continue. And, now that the next row has appeared, you might as well move the bottom blue into place to increase the 6 to a 7.

| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_5.png|thumb|left|A simple horizontal match? No! A t-shaped 6 combo!]]
| |
| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_6.png|thumb|right|Oh look, a horizontal 4 combo. But wait, there’s another yellow in the upcoming row... raise a couple rows and your 4 can become 6!]]
| |
| If you find 3 panels of the same color in the same horizontal row, there is often a good opportunity for an l- or t-shaped combo. Check the rows above and below for additional panels you can line up. If your stack can handle it, you may even raise it a few rows if that might give you additional panels to add to the combo.

| |
| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_7.png|thumb|left|Here you can pair the horizontal purples with the vertical greens.]]
| |
| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_8.png|thumb|right|3? No, 6. No, 10!]]
| |
| Next, all that would need to be done is slide the purple panel over to make the horizontal match. But there are a lot of green as well, so instead, slide a couple of those over to let those match at the same time. In the next image, there are a number of reds, so you can start to organize those into a combo. But look a little left and right... there are plenty of yellow panels as well. Line them up, keeping in mind the center panels will switch last, and there’s enough to create a 10 combo!

| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_9.png|thumb|left|Before making the match, fill the gap so you can slide another panel over.]]
| |
| [[File:Tetris_Attack_combo_forming_10.png|thumb|right|Grab a couple panels and drop them down to help create the additional green combo for when you make the blue l-shaped combo.]]
| |
| Sometimes filling a gap with a panel is useful to help create a combo. Here, you could just drop the red panel down to make the match, but there’s another already in the row on the right. There’s a gap, however, so switch one of the other panels over first to fill the gap. Now you can slide the fourth red over, and get ready to drop the upper red panel in for the combo. In this final image, the blues are about to become an l-shaped 5 combo. Doing so would put two green panels right on top of each other, so let’s see if that can be increased. The greens in the next two rows up are difficult to get over there without messing up the blues, but look even higher up, and there are a couple greens that can easily be dropped down. Add one green panel to the bottom as well, and we’ve increased the combo to a 10.
