bad gameplay lol
Yeah, depending on how good you are, the Endless modes can easily be, well...endless. Hell, with Tiny Puyo you really don't even have to try. Last night I played Tiny Puyo on Medium and eventually I just got to the point where I was dropping pieces without rotating them, just moving left or right semi-randomly without any strategy or anything, and I still couldn't lose.
Also, on another note, I finally managed to break my 4-win record in Endurance. Got 8 wins! Feels pretty good to have been stuck at 4 wins for a while then out of nowhere be able to double it.
Man, Push Mode was a really cool 1v1 Tetris mode.

What was the Metroid-themed mode called? I played that one for countless hours. So much fun.

i was disappointed that you cant play 2 player online (i think) but this appears to be a heat with the wife.
puyo > tetris

Ugh, guess I'll go back to grinding for 100k puyos popped so I can get the platinum trophy.
Any tips, or is Big Bang still the best mode to grind? Feels so damn tedious, especially with how random the game can be with deciding if it wants to give you the piece you need on your first or fifth drop & mainly waiting for the chains to finish compared to Tetris, where you're always in control & it's easier/quicker to clear minos.

Endless Fever is probably marginally more effective than Big Bang. All Clears net you a larger boost for the next chain in that mode, so go for them when there's an obvious way to get it.
I have 129.5% completion in Story Mode now, and the only thing stopping me from getting 130% is 6-5. I can beat it fine, but I simply cannot get more than one star. It's the Party mission where Amitie and Sig both use Puyo mode. So frustrating...
And yeah, if you want to grind for credits to unlock everything in the shop, Endless Fever is the way to go.

You can find it on Amazon for 30 (PS4).

So my copy arrived from Amazon today.
...I've never seen a more crushed box in my life. Forgive me for being petty but I HATE it when I get boxed games with any tears or crushed at all.

Tetris company only allows one digital version of tetris on a store front.

Can you enable hard drop for Puyo Puyo in one player or just for multiplayer? I can't find the option if so.

I always make a room for Puyo with the Newbie tag and inevitably the first person to join is a Puyo master who destroys everybody
Has anyone used the Join Friend feature successfully? We create rooms online and yet never show up for each other. We have to go look in the specific game type.

Works fine for me. You may need to just hit refresh.
Where do you go to play endless tetris? I only see endless puyo. (PS4 version if that matters)

If you finished 7-10 and skipped any stages along the way, you have to beat 7-10 and watch the ending again. Worlds 8 through 10 don't count for that trophy.
I had the same problem as I skipped like 4 stages before beating the game, and only went back to them later
7-10 is pretty hard for me so I was less than happy lolDid they change the voices of the twin characters? Don't remember their names but they always had such annoying voices and sounds. Just played against someone using them and they said the same things, just in a way creepier and more flat tone. Their "Two is better than one!" was not as cheery for example.
Ah thank you, I'll try this.If you finished 7-10 and skipped any stages along the way, you have to beat 7-10 and watch the ending again. Worlds 8 through 10 don't count for that trophy.

Yeesh, I heard that Ex's AI was strong, but he just mopped the floor with me in Swap mode! And yeah, Chapter 9 is hilarious.

I'm gonna have to go back to the Puyo chaining tutorials cause Story mode and online players are slaughtering me.
Oh had no idea there were alt. voices haha. Never heard them until now. It was kinda creepy!

Same. This is my first time playing Puyo and I absolutely hate it. Shit doesn't make any sense. Goal of games like this is to keep your board clear as much as possible, but this shit wants you to build combos. Absolutely maddening. I just don't get it.
I wish they coulda just made a Tetris game with a silly little story mode. This Puyo garbage isn't compatible with my brain.

Ah, but there's the flaw in your thinking: the goal of Puyo is to defeat your opponent, not to have a clear board

I guess I just spent too many hours on Tetris for Game Boy to think of puzzle games like that.
Tetris is all about setup as well though? Single line clears would be the most efficient way to stay safe, but are worth nothing. The game incentivizes you to build with Tetrises, Back to Back Tetrises, Combos, and T-Spins.

I only ever played to try and get as many lines as possible.

How do you unlock sanic?
Sanic blocks and puyos? You gotta play the post game Adventure Mode stuff, you unlock it at some point during those (I don't know when, I just saw it eventually in my customization options).
Real Sanic? Sorry, you're out of luck but I'm sure there's plenty of SonicxPuyo fanart to help you overcome that disappointment
I think your problem is you're not thinking about vs Tetris or vs Puzzle games. You're thinking about single player.

Hm. Probably. I've never really played any of these games in a multiplayer setting.
That's an unreasonable amount of hate to have for Puyo just because it plays differently. Plus like it was mentioned already, getting a highscore in Tetris has always been about making at least 4-line clears constantly, and now in its competitive iterations is also about setups, though less so than Puyo Puyo, admittedly.
You can get the hang of it fairly quickly, anyhow. I recommend checking out the Puyo Nexus Wiki guide, which introduces things at a reasonable pace. Just using the blocking method which is pretty intuitive should help you build 3 or 4-chains with ease. Or you could play fever mode to see some patterns that you can use while playing.
Vs. Tetris also is not about keeping the board clear. It's about building up the board neatly then slotting in consecutive T-shaped pieces or long pieces to devastate your opponent (more or less, depending on how aggressive you want to be).

I don't have a clue about Puyo either :=/ I get the concept but executing it is another story. If I get the wrong color combo its all over.

I really wish Big Bang did what some Fever games did on mild/sweet difficulties and stick a magic arrow at chain trigger points. It helped me a lot when learning how to chain
Big Bang kind of ruined me on the other games. Attempting to go back to Fever mode made me realize how bad I actually am at it with how easy Big Bang's boards are to get all clears.

If this game had Fever mode I would've hailed it as the best Puyo game ever.
But as it is, it's still amazing. Big Bang is solid enough.
