i guess i've played puyo puyo without realizing what it was on the snes under the name kirby's avalanche. i sucked really bad it, but i can still see the appeal. i'll always prefer tetris attack though because getting junk dropped on you isn't an instant game over and is often the start of a huge comeback

I'm not really sure how this website works yet but this is tetris!

This is not head-to-head puzzle gaming. You are playing against a recording of someone else.

I'm not sure how many people play any more, but http://tetrisonline.pl is legitimately online vs. Tetris.

okay time for babbys first puyo lesson

the easy way to think of forming chains is that you're shifting puyo over by one to prevent them from linking

like instead of going HELL YEAH IM GOING TO POP FOUR YELLOW


stick the green there instead and block the yellow off



now you have a two chain in place, just pop the green and away you go

or you can keep extending the concept further, and instead of putting a green in column 3 put something else under it first



now you have another link in the chain and the blues are your key puyo

when i treid really hard to play puyo puyo ds i could get 5 chains if i set my mind to it

dragon enthusiast
Jan 1, 2010
you can get 5chain pretty consistently once you get down some patterns

stairs (2-2 on top and 3-1 on bottom)

easy to visualize but vulnerable to color conflicts

sandwich (1-1-2 on top and 2-1-1 on bottom)

flexible to build but weak against harassment

with patterns you can start planning ahead and placing excess puyo strategically instead of dumping them wherever

important note that you shouldn't fall into the trap of trying to match a pattern perfectly, you're almost never going to get the perfect puyos that you need. feel free to mix and match as necessary


some noobs try to be anti-establishment and be like 'hurr i dont need to follow patterns, my pattern is freestyle' but usually that just means they're scrubs with nostyle

progress goes by surprisingly quickly in the early stages of learning

most people by the time they get to max 5 chain have already picked up rudimentary ideas about patterning, this just gives them a developed toolbox to work with

like if you pick up the 20th anniversary puyo game (which is real good and packed with content i recommend it) this is all stuff covered in the tutorial

I have a translated puyo 7 and the tutorials are a bit more gentle about teaching you all this stuff :shrug:

that's cause all their lessons are like "fill in the missing puyo" instead of letting you learn for yourself

I was playing a bunch of Dr. Mario and Tetris a few months ago and it made me want to seek out a bunch of vs. puzzle games, especially weird and relatively unknown ones.

Two that I discovered and still need to get are Wildsnake and Trip'd:

i liked it enough to finish it but there's so many mechanics that it's difficult to set up proper combos
poo poo like a critter eating a smaller critter which then geats eaten by another WILL kill a lot of your chain planning

if its on the japanese psn store is fairly easy to set that up and purchase with yen cards at a markup. if its not you can import the disc and just put it in and it will work.

it's the opposite of that, every move is extremely fast and the jumps are huge you have to be aware of a lot of chaos
