EASY LONG PUYO CHAINS [Puyo Puyo Tetris]

Let me be very clear, I'm not a professional at Puyo Puyo! But, I love playing this game casually and it's always annoyed me that even after doing all the tutorials I still couldn't get long chains in real matches. Well, this is what made it all SO much easier for me!

I'm not declaring that this is correct or the best method or anything, just something that worked for me personally!

Did this method work for you? Comment below and tell me whether it was helpful!

Come watch a stream on Twitch! I stream 2-3 times a week and still do! It's a lot like the YouTube videos but interactive!!

I don't know why this game is so hard for me. I can understand the concept if I pause the video and look at it but seeing how to build the combos in real-time is almost impossible for me. It's too fast for my brain to comprehend and pick out the patterns from all the colored blobs.

This game has a substantially more difficult learning curve when compared to Tetris.

In Tetris, every block largely contributes towards an easy to understand objective, stacking a Tetris well, or a 4 wide, or a T-spin. And if you aren't doing any of those things, even the act of of just "fit the piece into your board without making holes" is very intuitive. If you get a Tetris block you can't use, it's easy to "throw that piece away", by placing it off to the side where it won't get in the way, or even by using the hold mechanic.

You can't do that in puyo. If a drop you get doesn't immediately contribute to what you are trying to do in the moment, you need the foresight, intuition, and imagination to visualize ahead to where that puyo block might be useful, because if you just throw it to the side, it ends up taking up space and limiting your max chain count. And you have to manage this while also fishing for puyo that do align with what you're trying to build, whether that be stairs, GTR, or anything else.

It's *really* hard.

As a tetris player trying to get better at puyo puyo this video was a godsend

[GRJ]

The best part of this so called "key" is that you can even try and put another key on top of it, if you're skilled enough

[endlesswanderer]

I'm not even at the middle of the video yet, but god, your stairs description is exactly what I'm going through right now. I build up stairs, they're immaculate and ready to be chained together, but then I have no idea how to start the chain going because they're buried.

I've been playing Puyo since Kirby's Avalanche. I've been playing it wrong for nearly 30 years trying to build those damn stairs lmao

[ryancowell]

I've been slowly practicing my puyo skills and this video is ALL about the issue I kept running into! Stairs are a solid CONCEPT but burying the key is always what got me! This was super helpful, thank you so much : 3!

[NeinBreaker]

Yeah, Puyo Puyo combos are tricky to pull off. I always end up getting garbage dumped on my side before I could pile up my Puyo correctly.

[SLSOFTENER]

Yeah, the reason why you make GTR (or any of the transitions people use) early is because it opens up a clear path for building on both the front and tail of your chain. That helps with avoiding getting stuck like you did at the beginning with Stairs.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 has new playable drills in its lesson mode, so that can help with learning stairs and sandwich better.

Most of my Puyo games I can only get at most 2 or 3 chains, and it takes me forever or I fail. But today I played some Endless Puyo in PPT and kept your advice in mind, and I went for 20 minutes straight, got over 2mil points, and hit a max chain of 6 without much difficulty! Makes me wanna learn even more!

Best part about Puyo Puyo Tetris?



It gets a Sequel in 2 days

[ToureTaylor]

After making GTRs, when I learned how to combo vertically, I got more frequent 7+ chains. Stairs was my go to for 4-5 chains.

GTR (Transition) + Blocking (Vertical Combos) + Sandwich (Horizontal Combos) + Stairs (Horizontal Combos)

And I would say, if it wasn't for this video, I wouldn't have been able to do these longer chains throughout my mean bean machine and puyo puyo tetris journey sooner.

[slavaBelov]

OMG man, thank you. It makes so much sense now. Never wanted to play this game but it's part of the complitionist list in Yakuza spin-off Jugement

[yksiloituminen]

You can build the trigger first in stairs too, or in any other chaining form. Why I think GTR is easiest tho is just that you run less into color conflicts and it's more flexible than stairs or even sandwich but not complicated like universe or some other forms.. And in real battles you need to be able to attack sooner and with stairs you usually are more vulnerable to attacks. Still, it doesn't mean any chaining form is better than others, some just are easier or fit some situations better.

Although this is explained casually, you sound alot more professional and knowledgeable than any tutorial Nintendo and Youtube vids have ever shown. Many thanks

[ame-chan]

I'm always frustrated because the more I don't think about making chains, the longest ones I get.

(A few days ago I did a 6-chain by just...making them fall in a random order)

WHY IS MY SUBCONSCIOUS THAT MORE SUPERIOR THAN MY CONSCIOUS?! 😭

[randomperson]

The easiest way to get somewhat ok chains (enough to get 3 stars on most PPT1 levels in story mode) is just randomly place puyos but try and stack them so that they are in groups of 3 and hope that you pull off a miracle, I usually get 5-7 chains with this method (if I build right to the top), though going against actual people, you'll probably lose.

[thecalendarninja]

Thanks for explaining what nobody else did..it actually makes a lot more sense to me now.

[zellasteria]

me: always seen as a tetris pro

also me pulling the puyo mode: *DO YOU WANT TO DIE TODAY?*

[genishugues]

Judgement developers... I dunno where you are, but i will find you
