Mountainous Stacking 2
Mountainous Stacking 2, or MS2 is a Triple-Double T-Spin opener created by PandaEdit158/Agent 1568AH. It is very similar to Gamushiro Stacking; it grants reliable 8-line Perfect Clear chances or a favorable midgame board without the PC.
Compared to similar popular “Wasted T” openers such as DT-Cannon and BT-Cannon, MS2 boasts numerous advantages:
- Reliable PC and combo downstack chances.
- Superior midgame flexibility.
- Resistance to spikes from other openers.
It may be a viable alternative to Gamushiro, as it requires relatively less memorization and resolves in a flatter stack.

Choosing a Setup
When choosing a setup, the L piece is always taken into consideration. The order of the setups are by their PC chances, but going for a PC may not always be the best choice, and a lower PC chance setup may end up being the superior choice. Beware of tunnel vision.
