Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 Download |VERIFIED|

Puyo Puyo Tetris (ぷよぷよテトリス, Puyopuyo Tetorisu)[b] is a 2014 puzzle video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. The game is a crossover between the Puyo Puyo series and the Tetris franchise, and features various gameplay modes incorporating both aspects. The game includes characters modeled and named after the seven Tetrominos, which are different puzzle pieces each made of four blocks.
Let me first say something about what PPT is to me over the years since 2016: I think it's a wonderful but flawed game. As a slow tetris game, the game designers have tried their best to fix the problems of other modern tetris games by focusing on "efficiency", and the gameplay works well for that purpose. A player who can't place the pieces efficiently stands no chance. The most informative resource regarding this topic is here: _Puyo_Tetris
It's basically a bug of the modern tetris system. I mean, it's overlooked by the game designers when PPT 1 was created. But this HAS BEEN KNOWN when PPT2 was created. There is a big difference between opener combos and mid-game combos:
Now some historical backgrounds. The simplest way to study history, as I learnt from my middle school, might be walking through the timeline. In 2016, amemiya won over legendary hebomai in a major event held in Japan. From then on, the history of PPT could't go on without him. Amemiya's nickname is "god", yeah you hear it right, not PPT god, not amemiya god, just god. This is related to the national character of Japanese. Cults of personality can be observed in various fields (yeah I know this sounds controversial, but it's true). It's a highly collectivist society. This nickname is so convenient that when amemiya claims he's the god of tetris, no one can deny that because it's true he is a player widely known as "god" who plays a lot of tetris.
Needless to say, kazu won. Though the result doesn't surprise the community (from the interview of Kemonomichi, even an elite puyo puyo player had correctly predicted the result, not to mention community), the messages from this event are clear and powerful:
Kemonomichi chose only 4 games. That signifies PPT is quite popular in Japan. There is a large community/player base behind it. It's pity there is no puyo puyo player joining, due to the imbalance issue (yet another flaw of PPT).
The rising of tetr.io . I am not saying tetr.io is not a good game. It's just different. As a slow tetris game, PPT provides more thinking time on each move. The mindset for these two games are different. I suppose if someone has experience on tetr.io and later he finds PPT, he must feel the line latency of PPT is ridiculously long. PPT makes you play under 2.5 pps and challenge you how good your piece placement can be within every 400ms. That 400ms is tedious, if you don't try to fully utilize it.
On 10/29, kazu is holding an event : =video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHVNSXlPbEk5QzhsUThKRXZSR3NDSWNIOF8wUXxBQ3Jtc0tsSmNEMjVaUDRRRVFBRnNiWWlEWkJNM05rQzUxVDRfWHJLcjFFNEJNdXVidmdsRVZadE9WRWJqT0d5STNTWTRUaW1GN0xkTEtGUVROUkRfTUQ2TWZ6OHFJa2ZjdFJkZXo1QTFzTW00TWZWeGhKcElkOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FkabutomusiAAAAA%2Fstatus%2F1586288151081123841&v=_3qk97JrUyw . Here is my wild guess: none of the top 5 will participate in the event. It's just like the clone of 全国大会. 全国大会 is held by a puyo puyo celebrity. Let me tell you guys how ridiculous this event is:
The most ridiculous thing about 全国大会 is this: it's the only modern tetris tournament they have in Japan. Strangely, about 5 years ago, there was something like Salty Cup held in Japan. There are S, A, B, and C groups, FT15-based, lots of players. Actually I think Salty Cup is inspired by that event. But that event just disappeared into nowhere. There are 130m population. It's a very popular game. All the best players are from that island. You tell me the only tournament there is FT5-based, 8 players joining, sheer lack of best players?
So I've been playing a ton of versus on my switch, and when I get matched against higher rank Puyo players, it often feels impossible to counter-play. I'm primarily a tetris player, and even when I play flawlessly and get a double tetris back to back it seems that when they get a large chain, that there's very little to do about it. Even if I get a tetris immediately, my screen is still shot up all the way. I know that people have said that this game is balanced, and that Tetris is actually arguably the stronger of the two at a high level, but man it seems impossible to me. Are there advanced moves/tactics that I'm not realizing?
The original Puyo Puyo Tetris is an incredibly meaningful game to me because it was part of what forged the strongest bond in my life with my best friend. During the second year of my MFA, I moved into a second story apartment in New Jersey equipped with a massive living room/kitchen hybrid where we would spend seemingly nights back to back drinking and playing Puyo Puyo Tetris on the couch together. The game became more than just a nightly ritual; it was a form of comfort we both had when things in life became stressful. During the peak of our finals, applying for jobs, and trying to work out various difficulties in life, it was always an option to ask the other person to take a break to play a couple rounds of puyo.
So I boot up Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 each time and try to find a way for it to just mean anything without the love that made it so important to me before. This has mostly come in the form of trying to play story mode and online ranked, but now the puyos are cold and lifeless. The sky high combos only draw silence. An imperial cross T-Spin is only a means to a higher digit.
i really liked the fine tuning between the two modes! it's not like you get any advantage playing puyo or tetris against each other.
but i didn't put much time in the campaign. do you think finishing the campaign can help me to improve in puyo?
lol, I have a tetris in the same state (zero gravity). every time I try to work on it, I end up just playing it like it is (and sometimes I lose, for shame) there are good tetrises on pico8 already, so I intend to do something else with it (think tetris plus or joyjoykid, but something else). well, at some point it's bound to happen :)
I created an account for the sole purpose of expressing deep thanks for making this! I just recently got Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Switch and have been really into the Puyo half of it. After climbing the ranked ladder to about 3000 though I've finally reached the point where I can't kinda just bumble my way through matches and need to learn how to chain properly. Endless is okay, but as you said in the description, it's easy at these early stages to lose track of what I'm doing and mess up a whole session with a single misplacement. Having a "level 0" endless mode like this I think will be the first step to finally getting good at puyo puyo!
