Fig: MS3/Maple bag structure. Includes DPC Recovery, which involves placing the extra piece in a specific spot compatible with a DPC setup.

MS3/Maple is not 100% build cover on Bag 1. Use a complementary setup when MS3/Maple isn't buildable.
You can also use a fallback setup such as 8L PC Openers or 1st PC when MS3/Maple isn't buildable.

Gamushiro & friends 8L Bag 1 marked with 🇦️ and 🅱 have 100% combined build cover and 100% recovery rate into 100% DPC setups.
You must learn (build + recovery, not all solves) one of these combinations (🇦+🅱) in order to always be able to loop using MS3/Maple.

From Bag 2 onwards MS3/Maple setups marked with ⭐ have 100% combined build cover and 100% recovery rate into 100% DPC setups.
You must learn these setups in order to always be able to loop using MS3/Maple.

MS3/Maple Bag 1

MS3/Maple 7p: 93.89% with mirror (83.33% without mirror).
MS3/Maple 6p (Hold O)p: 86.67% with mirror (66.67% without mirror).

Complementary Bag 1 Setup

Choose your complementary setup based on Bag 2 setups.
You must learn (build + recovery, not all solves) Bag 2 setups marked with ⭐ for your chosen combination of Bag 1 setups in order to be able to loop using that combination.

MS3/Maple Bag 3 Solve

⭐ Maple Syrup Solve

⭐🩹 Maple Syrup Complementary Recovery (3)

To be used in combination with Minimals. These recoveries cover all the fail queues.

⭐ Maple Syrup Minimals (18)

Maple Syrup Extra (1)

Space divisions make finding solves simpler:

(🩹 Maple Syrup Full Recovery (5))

A full recovery route with 5 minimals exists.
While you never the extra two in practice, they're good to know if you make a mistake.

Maple Syrup can sometimes be upgraded to Pancake Stacking potential better solve/better save if you can spot a good queue:

🩹 Pancake Complementary Recovery (3)

To be used in combination with Minimals. These recoveries cover all the fail queues.

Pancake Minimals (8)

Gamushiro Default 4-5 Solve

🩹 Gamushiro Default 4-5 Complementary Recovery (2)

To be used in combination with Minimals. These recoveries cover all the fail queues.

Gamushiro Default 4-5 Minimals (21)

Gamushiro Default 4-5 Extra (4)

Gamushiro Default 4-5 Useful (3)

All spin solves + useful solves give 91.75% PC%.
Without greedy save L TSS that's 89.09% with 58.69% TSS+.
You can build recovery instead of looking for a complicated solves.

Following useful L-spin is possible without 180:

Fig: Gamushiro Default L-spin solve.

This common solve usually starts by JLO skim and T-spin, but this exotic order requiring a spin sequence also exists for the same solve. Possible without 180:

Fig: Gamushiro Default JLO skim solve weird order spin sequence.

There's this funny spin save L TSD utilising the TST kick:

Fig: Gamushiro Default funny spin TSD.

(🩹 Gamushiro Default 4-5 Full Recovery (6))

A full recovery route with 2 minimals exists.
While you never need the first one, it's good to know to avoid bad saves/difficult solves or if you make a mistake.

Honey Cup Solve

🩹 Honey Cup Complementary Recovery (2)

To be used in combination with Minimals. These recoveries cover all the fail queues.

Honey Cup Minimals (14)

Space divisions make finding solves simpler:

When T comes in the middle of the bag, it's sometimes possible to get the spin after skimming.
Skim in a way that creates a hole ready for the O piece to be placed last on top of the T slot.
Hold O until T has been placed:

When T comes too late, you'll often need to skim the top rows first.
Skim in a way that blocks off the T slot, ready for T to be placed last once the top rows have been resolved.
Here O cannot be used to resolve the space above the T slot because it would fall through.
Hold O or place O on the other side instead:

Honey Cup can sometimes be upgraded to Kisaragi Stacking potential TSS+Tet solve if you can spot a good queue:

(🩹 Honey Cup Full Recovery (5))

A full recovery route with 5 minimals exists.
While you never need most of these in practice, they're good to know if you make a mistake of to get a better save.
