Do connection drops count for/against your rating? I've beaten a couple 4000+ players that frankly weren't very good and I got disconnects after the match. I'm at 3300+.
I still haven't wrapped my head around Puyo. But in high level Tetris play you need to be very good at clearing garbage rows as quickly as you can so you can get back to chaining 4 line clears. Clearing garbage rows can be very cerebral in that you need to plan every drop so you don't block other garbage rows. Dunno how to explain it, but there's Tetris solo play where it is instinctual but in competitive you have to plan and see several pieces ahead or your garbage rows will eat you alive.

Whats the deal with the PuyoPuyo color randomization? Sometimes there will be green or purple or maybe more puyos.
Just for flavour and variety?
Same as the characters? I assume if they had different abilities I would have noticed by now.
Also is there actually a cheat code / button sequence for adventure mode unlocks or was that just in a different game?

Puyo often gets compared to fighting games with how harassment and countering eerily resembles the neutral game and footsies.
Yeah it makes sense. The level of interplay is much higher than I would have expected.

I just bought it on Switch a few hours ago. I also bought Mario Kart which has been taking forever to download. I thought maybe MK8D was a big game because of all of the included DLC. I checked again on the eShop. NOPE! 6.7 gigs. Nintendo better fix this shit if they're going to start charging.

Characters only matter for Fusion and Party, where the Puyo shape sequence varies by character. They don't affect the colors.
There is an unlock code in the Switch version (
While holding L+R on the title screen, press Up, Down, Right, Left, X, B, Y, Y
Just beat another 4000+ Puyo player. It's an interesting dynamic Puyo vs Tetris, I have to play completely different than in a Tetris v Tetris match to have any measure of success. I've saved a bunch of Puyo videos so I can watch them play.
Just played a 5000+ Puyo player, not a god damn chance. Not even sure I got close to getting them in trouble.

There's a fairly well established competitive Puyo scene in Japan - things like certain arcades where all the best players train, players getting sponsored specifically for their Puyo prowess, and appearances on broadcast TV. Also scandals involving dirty money I guess so thats how you know its esports
Here's some video from last year's S-Rank League, long sets between players go up to FT100 in some circumstances

In all of the games that Sega made.
It's actually a stealth reference to the dungeon crawlers that inspired Puyo Puyo; one of the spells there increases the effectiveness of Arle's next attack while also causing her to stutter it. In the Japanese version, Arle actually uses said spell as part of her attack phrases, with the next move always getting the stutter effect.
Yep, look here for reference -> https://youtu.be/1fhM4G6QAWE?t=2h22m38s
F-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-fire!
Diacute ("want more?" in Puyo Puyo Tetris English) is one of Arle's spell that increase the number of time the next spell is casted.

Online's no joke in this game, I see opponents busting out combos within seconds.
Yeah that's the first item I bought hoping it would help and it does exactly that.

Solo Arcade - Challenge.
Has:
- Sprint: 40 Lines as fast as possible.
- Endurance: 150 lines as fast as possible. (Settings can make it endless)
- Ultra: 3 Minute Score Run.
Well there you guy. Teamwork has solved his dilemma!
You can turn endless Tetris on in the customisation options.

This game is so addicting, ive been playing online 4 hours straight or so without even noticing the time pass. My right thumb is in some serious pain now.
Going for 3 stars in story is teaching me faster than I expected. Only in world 2 and I've needed to spend some time getting a basic 6 chain setup down. I'm still not as consistent as I'd like to be, but I'm getting there.
I've been focusing more on Puyo, I don't have a lot of experience playing it, but I find the playstyle very interesting. There's also a lot for me to learn in Tetris, since I never played it much outside of the old gameboy version, but I think I want to improve in Puyo more right now.

I can't tell if my joycons are broken or if I just hate HD Rumble. Is it supposed to be, like, extremely loud and kind of high pitched? And feel like something is very nearly breaking inside the controller?
The rumble when you drop pieces is cool but the buzz you get at the start and end of matches is just... deeply unpleasant.
I almost feel like it has to be a faulty unit on my end because I can't see how this is working as intended. Maybe I'll record the audio or something.

Try going for speed+consistency. One thing that surprises me when I look back on replays is how slowly I play even when I don't think I'm dawdling during the actual match.
I went stairs->transitions->sandwich
If you can do transitions with stairs doing it with sandwich is a piece of cake. Not that I'm super good at the game, but I'm pretty satisfied with my skills, specially compared to when I first played the demo
Lately I've been getting matched with some super OP players, like above the top 500. Sometimes I win a game but lose the set and still feel like a Puyo god lol. I feel like even at high levels people can be easily surprised by a well planned harassment even of its a somewhat cheap way to win lol
Man, as a beginner its just too overwhelming. One little thing messes up what I'm trying to do and I have literally 0 idea on what to do next. My brain can't seem to catch up to the current situation and I just putting down random crap and it's very frustrating. The game itself isn't bad or frustrating of course, I think it's great, it's just my lack of familiarity and skill.
I see there are a lot of really good tutorial videos online, but all of them explain things so fast and show examples that are so fast. Is there one that slowly walks through a random game of puyo and explains why he puts what where?
The chain creator things are helpful, but in reality the puyo that I get aren't the ones I need.

It's a good place to start ( seeing how Stairs, while easy, is way too delicate to maintain in my opinion).
Not much I can say except practicing against CPUs to make sure you know how to handle garbage and being able to adapt on-the-fly.
Same thing happens to me. I never think I'm moving slowly, but then I get matched up against a tetris player who fires off constant combos.

My state is a ghost town as far as playerbase goes, it's kinda sad
Huh... Why are they still using Tsu for tournaments? Do later games like Puyo Tetris make changes to the Tsu rules that people don't like?

There's very very minor quirks in every iteration like how soft drop bonus is calculated or frame data changes in how the puyos "bounce" while a chain resolves, but I'm pretty sure the actual reason is just arcade culture in Japan.
How long should it take for me to learn using 'stairs' in a natural way? I know it's the most basic of techniques. I'm playing the demo and feel the potential for heavy addiction but it's a bit hard to practice with the demo. And I understand how stairs work but dang it if I don't get distracted by 'wrong' colors showing up.

They literally got her entire combo quotes on me:
Solved it, sine, cosine, tangent, algorithm, calculus, Calculus!!!
I am ashamed. And I thought I was doing well.

Just turned on the HD rumble. Why the hell is this disabled by standard? It's nothing amazing, but I quite like how it works when ranking a combo.
Well that escalated quickly...

Yeah, same here.
Unrelated to that, the deeper I go into Puyo lore, the more I wish there was Puyo Puyo anime. Starring the entire cast AND the Puyos.

Does this game have dpad support on Switch? My fiance was complaining about the controls because it doesn't, I was just wondering.
I don't think I'd enjoy it with the analogue stick.

Game is incredible. So, so glad I took a chance on this. Couch Vs has been amazing. So fun.
Yeah, that's the main way to play, the Joy-con directional buttons actually work totally fine as well.
It absolutely does, both the Joycon's separated buttons and the Pro Controller's D-Pad.

I should know better than to venture with this game online, but I still want to. Which, kinda brings me to a somewhat off topic question , sorry. ( I asked this in the MK8 thread but it got burried.) Can anyone recommend a Wi-Fi router that works well with the Switch? Mine crapped out and I never wanna get a Netgear again. (Was gonna put this in the general Switch thread, but it's locked.)
When I got the chance to try online, the same held true for Puyo as well.

Played some online games and I can't beat Puyo players with my Tetris at all
Yeah it's pretty much just arcade culture. The differences between tsu and modern puyo games are pretty negligible, even in high level play.
Recently though, I've noticed Japanese players organizing their own competitive leagues around Puyo Puyo Chronicle for the 3DS. They're streamed pretty often by piponeer12 https://www.twitch.tv/piponeer12
Stairs is hard to build cleanly with 4 colors unless you know how to tail or if you build the Turn Around (Transition) first. Doing either of those opens up more places for you to put other colors.
Well, COMPILE did some anime shorts a long time ago. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AB9596F0B1AAB57
