no I suck dick at puyo levels

Yes but I cannot for the life of me play tetris. You cant put unneeded blocks to the side like puyos, every one counts. I just cant get my head around it. I had to get my friend to do the tetris parts in chapter 1 so i could get to the puyo sections.

>think about getting Puyo Puyo Tetris
>already pretty good at Tetris, but not at Puyo
>download Kirby's Avalanche
>can't do it for the life of me, keep getting beat by CPUs
How do you even do this shit? How do you make chains beyond 2 chains without just getting lucky?

Kirby's avalanche is based on Puyo Puyo, which is the Street Fighter 1 of the series. It kinda sucks. Try emulating Puyo Pop Fever on the PS2/Gamecube.

Wouldn't he be better off just doing Tsu since that's what PPT uses for its standard? Granted I've never played Fever so I don't know if that has a Tsu ruleset too.

Fever's got Fever mode, though, which is fun and also a nice little crutch for beginners.
Also, it's a little annoying to have to apply the translation patch to Tsu.

You make a 2 chain, but instead of setting it off, you extend it to a 3 chain by doing the same thing.

Or use stairs pattern. That's a simple one.

SegaAmerica actually had a guy made a bunch of really nice tutorial videos for their youtube channel.

What happened to my post?

The only thing fever teaches you is how to trigger pre-made chains.

I'm totally the opposite. I've been playing Tetris all my life and I'm getting into Puyo now, but I'm struggling a lot just to get chains of 3

How do I speed up my Tetris play?
I understand things, but I don't really know how to go any faster than I already do.

You just keep playing. Once you know what you're supposed to be doing, it's just a matter of doing it over and over again until you hit jap TAS-levels.

I would like to introduce you to my little friend called the T-spin.

Even those premade chains can teach you something by showing you patterns and whatnot.

>2017
>playing Tetris of all games

watch videos from S2LSOFTENER and ShiroBrawl and study how they do setups in competitive play and apply it to practice.
T-spin setups, placement of pieces, timing combos, harassment, etc.
Just watch, practice, and apply

youre right, puyo puyo is better

>he hasnt been playing tetris since at least 5 years old

How though? Not saying Puyo is easy but coming from tetris where every block counts and puyo you can discard unneeded colours to the side, I thought tetris transition would be easier.

Why haven't you built a shrine to the best Puyo yet?
It's Ocean Prince, if you somehow had any doubt.

>tfw just beat Mean Bean Machine last night

Shit was fucking tough, especially when they're flying down at a million mph. I kept fucking up my chains since I didn't have the reflexes to place them correctly.

...

user, I hate to tell you this, but Mean Bean Machine is piss fucking easy due to the lack of offsetting. All you have to do is make one 4-chain and you win.

>go HAM when setting up stairs or sandwiches
>slow down to snails pace when doing turnarounds and towers
fuck

Is there any way to get puyo puyo tetris but for ps3? If not, what's a good puyo game that's easy to emulate.
I been playing puyo puyo VS but that's more for online than practice.

There's just a few things I've figured out.
Like, always leave room for O blocks
And two L or two J pieces can fit together nicely.
But I don't know what the pro strats for holding is, because when I watch, they hold like every other tetrimino and I don't understand why.
I need to be faster for T-spins to be worth it.

I play Tetris almost instinctively, Puyo is a weird thing I still don't understand.

The ps3 version has no region lock so you can buy it online if you want. You can emulate PPT on cemu as well, but it has some issues with graphics and modes outside of story not working.
You can also try Puyo Pop Fever, Puyo Puyo 7, or Puyo Puyo 15th/20th Anniversary. The ds versions emulate with no issues and should run on any computer. Plus, most of them are available in english. All of them have non-standard game modes as their default, but have the option for normal matches as well.

All the compile era games are a bit too easy. The ai didn't become competent until Fever.

Are we talking about his human or fish form

Why is he so perfect?

I might check on importing or just go for one of the anniversary games. Thanks!

Fish, user. Even he doesn't like being in human form.
He just is, user.
He just is.

If you're playing anniversary, 20th is generally regarded as better, if not the best sega-made game period, but has no english patch. 15th has an english patch, but the story segments are lacking compared to the other games anyway.

>His final attack is in human form
>All of his alt outfits in Puyo Puyo Quest are in human form
Explain that then

>>His final attack is in human form
Not in every game, user.
Also, Sega hates the nonhumanoid characters as evidenced by the fact that they're always the first to go when they have to deal with the shitty 24 limit, and the dumb fucking tasteless Japs like Ocean Prince's human form more because they like traps or some shit.
Seriously, trying to find art of fish form Ocean prince on pixiv is heartbreaking.

Found the brainlet

Puyo Puyo Tetris is my first Puyo game and i'm getting my ass kicked.
Any tips on how to git gud?

Have you practiced your sandwiches user?

In which game mode?

Watch the tutorial videos on the SegaAmerica youtube channel.

Most of those suck, except for the T-spin one.
They are like
'Here's what stairs look like!'
And then that's it. They don't teach you how to build one or when it's useful or what to watch out for.
I don't really like them.
Plus I need to learn basics, not advance techniques that I have no idea how to create.

I've tried but i always get stomped in no time
Vanilla Puyo

>Plus I need to learn basics, not advance techniques that I have no idea how to create.
user, those are the basics.

I know you're reading this lad. I'm getting three bowls of Karaage.

Tetris doesn't let you hide unneeded blocks, but on the other hand it doesn't really 'have' unneeded blocks. If you're clever you'll always leave a spot that a block can go into, even if it's not maybe the best spot.

Those videos are super basic though. Just take a look at the examples and reverse engineer what went into them, in the end it's all just pattern recognition, thinking and adapting doesn't really enter the equation until you fight someone and have to time chains and deal with garbage

lick my nuts

Not him but besides just messing up often in the arrangement of colors while making chains, the fact that puyos can fall off, and drop to the bottom if below it is just air keeps tripping me up since I'm so used to how Tetris blocks are stuck in place in the spot they fell

puyonexus.com/wiki/How_to_Play_Puyo_Puyo
Have you looked at this before?

I read this once, nothing made sense.
Then I watched this:
youtu.be/uJszHBGaYh0
And that helped me understand.
Then I reread everything there, and I'm slowly starting to get it.

Thanks for the links my dudes

PSA: if you're a tetris player, you'll win every multiplayer mode against good puyo/bad tetris players except the mixed mode which is mostly just puyo. the only thing you need good puyo skills for is the mixed mode and to complete story mode, especially fucking 7-4

Unless you are a literal grand master at Tetris that's simply not the case. Puyo can be a hell of a lot more aggressive than Tetris, it just requires more skill and barely anyone in the western community knows what the fuck they are doing with it as opposed to Tetris which mostly everyone played at least a little bit.
If your think someone being able to beat the story mode makes them good you are truly bottom of the barrel by the way

>not 7-10

>Good at tetris
>okay at puyo-puyo

Is online worth getting a ps4 subscription?

For years I've been playing tetrisfriends (battle2p rank 16) but this scene seems a bit more active and I dont have to watch ads to play.

>barely anyone in the western community knows what they are doing
that's my point. even the best puyo people fall hard against a good tetris game

>Is online worth getting a ps4 subscription?
No, because the PS4 version's online is kinda dead.

From what people were saying the PS4 version isn't nearly as active as the Switch one. There's always loads of people online on Switch. I think what kinda killed the PS4 release a bit is that there is no digital option for it on PSN, you have to get your hands on a physical release and those are hard to come by with the low print numbers it got. Kinda sucks

Damn, I just cant see myself playing it on those tiny joycons with analog.
>low print numbers
Well that explains why I had to goto the 3 stores to get one. Ended up at a gamestop where the dude was pressuring me to get the switch version for a keychain or something.

That's pretty disappointing they're not supporting the ps4 as much as the switch release.

I just want ranked tetris that isnt a web game with ads (and adblocker wont work).

>with analog.
Then use the D-Pad, user. Why the fuck would you use analog for Puyo?

>That's pretty disappointing they're not supporting the ps4 as much as the switch release
It's not that they aren't supporting it, user, it's that Ubisoft holds exclusive rights to any digitally distributed Tetris games on PS4 right now.

From what I see, joycons use analog and the four buttons to the right, buttons to rotate is fine, but analog movement is painful because it's not strictly four directional so its prone to mistakes
Sounds messy, I'll wait more years for another tetris game then

what's this and how works the back-to-back?

The joycons individually use the analog and the buttons, yeah, but if you use two you can use the d-pad buttons and the face buttons. Even then, the analog really isn't that bad for puyo at all.

Yes, and I'm bad at it.

That's your attack meter.
Your attacks aren't launched until you drop a piece that doesn't clear a line, so you can clear several in a row to build a strong meter then let it rip.

There's a severe Ocean Prince deficiency in this thread.

>You cant put unneeded blocks to the side like puyos, every one counts.

That's what the "hold" button is for. You put ones you don't need to the side and save them for when you do need them. Tetris is all about creating spaces that your next piece can fit into. If you can grasp that and truly master the art of creating spaces for just about every piece, you can beat pretty much anyone; provided they're not some t-spin spamming nigger.

I would but 60 dollarydoos seems a bit much to jump into a puzzle game I've never played before. Looks super polished though.

>Playing the game correctly and not like an old fart is "spamming"

It' 40 dollars, and worth the price considering all the content. It's a good deal for what you're getting.

Fucking kids and your t-spins, God fucking damn you.

Where is it 40 Au?

Oh, you meant Aussie dollars. Can't help you there, sorry.

oh I get it now, thanks.

Spirit Vessel Sig when?

I bet I'm the only person here who played Malicious.

Do they match you with someone hard when you're up for promotion or are people just trying harder when they see the promotion notification.

>tfw they'll never drop the 24 limit

I think people just play harder. At least, that's how I am. Though I get nervous and make mistakes because of that.

It was brutal, I had a perfect clear and back to back T-Spin doubles but it still all got absorbed into massive chains.
I still go too slow thinking about how to set these things up, I suppose.

Why is tetris apparently better against puyo?

They can hard drop and puyo can't by default, allowing them to move faster.

If tetris can go fast enough, the way puyo garbage works can basically result in the puyo player being shut down before they can do anything at all.

The main issue is the way garbage works. On Tetris it's coming from below and even lets you counter with simple back to backs. It will never ever fuck you over unless it wipes you. Puyo on the other hand even just a single line represents a roadblock you have to deal with before you can continue building your chains.
Tetris having harddrops isn't even really an issue, you can build roughly equally fast on both games, but while you can easily just throw in a simple back to back to halt Puyo progression for a bit that just doesn't work the other way around.

I have no idea how people play puyo. Like I never seem to get pieces I want and I never know where to generally place a piece. At least with Tetris I know what pieces compliment each other and how to avoid bad placement.

But puyo confuses me to no end. I have no idea how to even start. I see all these chain tutorials but the pieces I need to build those chains never drop and usually gets buried in my own garbage in free play. I could never compete.

Yeah, you just need to be willing to take the risk. Even if you have to clean up garbage, at least you're getting combos. It's not like the older games, where getting holes is basically certain death. Now you can get rid of your mistakes more easily with quick drop, and turn it into combos.

Same, Puyo escapes me. Tetris just comes natural. But then, I've also been playing it for the past 24 years.

Try using this lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=4109 to practice. Just practice building up staircases and sandwiches, getting an intuitive feel for how things work

Is there a way to practice modern Puyo on a mediocre PC? There's a billion Tetris ports floating around but there's damn near nothing for Puyo.

What does her butt smell like?

does it smell like apples?

You can emulate the Gamecube version of Fever, doesn't take a good PC if you don't want to upscale shit. There's also that puyopuyo vs online fangame, but almost nobody plays that anymore

That's basically what I've been doing to slowly learn Puyo Puyo. Staircases, and feeling my way around. Here and there I get lucky and just stumble into a large combo. I never have much of a plan though.

I think that's what it is about Puyo Puyo. You really have to think way ahead. What you're setting up is like, minutes in the making.

>try to make stairs
>okay 1 pillar down, now the next one
>wait no the colors are coming in the wrong order
>end up with 3 pillars of the same color and assorted puyo on the side
FUCKK

reminder that ocean prince makes good sushi

>shit at puzzle games
>get this game anyway
>3 star every story mission
>too spooked to go online

I understand the tutorials when I see them, but I just do whatever the fuck when it comes to the actual thing. I can make 5 chains doing the staircase, but it's just my (bad) preference/habit to go for the three by three puyo arrangement from the very beginning of the game. Like I don't even know where this shit technique is heading me, all I know is I feel good seeing curved formation than pillars

star every story mission
Look, you may not be great, but you sure as fuck aren't shit.
