Just keep playing the Adventure mode. I think they start unlocking after the second or third chapter.

Is it possible to beat a Puyo player with Tetris?

Wow, I was way off. Haha
I just burned through the Adventure mode and don't remember when exactly it started unlocking.
I am not part of that 90% so have resorted to playing my friends 1 on 3. The combination of single joycon controls and interference/lagginess almost evens it out. Well still not enough for the most part.
But yeah we all suck at Puyo too. One friend showed promise once as part of the team but he's not good enough (yet!) to compete at Puyo vs Tetris one on one. He did get two rounds before I took three in a row once in Tetris though. The potential is there.
...oh god I'll have to try this sometime. Against another friend I handicapped myself by swapping left/right joycons, but I was still too fast as long as I didn't have to rotate a piece on the way down. Playing double one handed should be fun.
Besides Adventure mode, there's a cheat code to unlock everything.

I bought the physical version but is there a chance that this game will be available digitally on PS4?
The thing is, the Tetris Company has this rule about not having "competing" versions of their game on the same platform, i.e. when there was a new Tetris on 3DS, Nintendo had to remove the VC version of the Game Boy port. It's the reason why Switch can have it digital, but PS4 can't because there already exists Tetris Ultimate.
So honestly, I don't think so. It could be why they let the PS4 retail version be $30 instead of $40.

<1% chance, for the three years that versions of this game have been available in Japan, the Switch version is the first to have a digital version available due to a loophole in Tetris licensing
I've been replaying the demo a lot and am quite hellbent on getting good at this game now lol. Reading up on some basic strategy. Never played Puyo before but it's really appealing to me. I do want to see some signs of progress in my play though, before I actually go ahead and purchase it. At least I'm managing to set up a few chains.

I tried the demo on the switch and have really been enjoying the heck out of it. So I just picked it up @ the store just now. Sad part is, I haven't even won a round. This and MK8 will be pretty fun to play while waiting in lines @ E3

Enjoying the game but struggling with Puyo Puyo. Need to watch the chain videos again and practice in endless mode I guess.
In certain modes, it'll change the order of what you get in terms of shapes, but I think it's only Fusion.
Wow, that is incredibly disappointing.
uuuggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh of course I lose when I would've gotten 10 wins AND a promotion
whatever, 10 online wins, I'm done with online.
Also, my bad, Party & Tiny Puyo also has characters whose Puyo layout change depending on the character, but it's ONLY Puyo that seems to differ. I don't think Tetris is affected.

You get different items in Party depending on the character, on both Puyo and Tetris
Have you tried some scented candles?
No. Do you have a favorite you can recommend?
Spukc
always chasing the next thrill
if you are a legend like me yes
The Air Wick water iris and purple berries candle improved my Puyo skills by over 50%
i'm probably crazy for thinking this but it feels like some of the garbage that rains down in puyo should be coloured? It seems way too easy to set off a big tetris chain and then a small puyo chain and flood the opponent's puyo board with so much garbage that there isn't even enough room to put 4 puyos of a colour together and try and work through some of the garbage
I think that would really just piss them off if I still won lol.

Is there a color blind mode for puyo puyo? Yeah I know the eyes are supposed to help but in the heat of the moment my brain has a hard time seeing them :|

Why did certain puyo puyo modes allow for hard drop and others don't? What's the reasoning? In the tutorials they teach the puyo hard drop without mentioning you cannot do it in certain modes, I found that weird.
I'm only just downloading the game right now, but I remember reading that they do have options to help with this
I don't know which one would help but in Options, you can change the appearance of both the Puyos & Minos.
Edit: Alphabet might be what you want, as it changes the puyos to the first letter of their color (Purple = P, Yellow = Y, etc.), perhaps that might help? You'll have to buy it in the shop, but it's only 100 credits, making it the cheapest skin to unlock.

Man, the swap mode is probably my favorite mode in the game.
So much strategy with setting up stuff with the timer, so it goes off at the right time, along with needing to switch my brain around every time the modes swap.
Also beating the brutal space ghost dude was totally worth it to unlock Satan. Too bad his theme isn't in the game as far as I can tell.

I will never stop recommending the "Flat" skin for this. It's cheap in the in-game shop and retains a classic Puyo look while also providing more than enough distinctiveness for colorblind players like me.
I wouldn't want to play with stuff like the alphabet or Sonic skins since it doesn't feel like Puyo then to me personally.
EDIT: They look like this, but, you know, flat and on the screen instead of posed:

Will try flat and alphabet I'll get back to yall see how I do

Flat helps for all but blue and purple which I still occasionally get mixed. Alphabet makes it easy but they look really cringe worthy.
Getting high scores in puyo battle for 3 stars is frustrating. I'll do like a 5 chain, not get enough points, and the ai instantly dies

Just got the game and having fun online
playing through some of second world helped me get a feel for the games again. Since online is ranked, things are more balanced. I think I'm 2-2 for online now. I had to learn how the fusion mode worked on the fly in one of them - it's a really cool mode!
Matchmaking is bad, and I really hope it balances out over time. I fought some number one dude from his Japanese region, he was like 57th best Worldwide. Immediately after I went against some guy from Ohio that had like 1798 Rating.
A result of low player count or..?
When you match with someone equal to you(r badness, cuz man I learned that I suck at Tetris) it's the funnest thing. Had a marathon round last night where I won first round, they won second, then we both got stuck at the top of our boards for a few minutes at the end. I slipped up and line-pieced my right-side off, which was disappointing at the time, but I think it was more that they had the better stamina; the game did go to fourteen minutes (all three), after all! It was a neck-and-neck the whole time, so it really did have to come down to who cracked first.

I used a basic strategy to get three stars pretty consistently, and it's easy to pull off. Basically you repeatedly stack 3 puyos with the color of the next stack on top. Imagine each letter is a different colored puyo:
BCD
ABCD
ABCD
ABCD
Get rid of the A puyo and the B makes a chain, which makes a C chain, etc.
