Thread 724168953

the original MSX and famicom versions of puyo are now 34 years old, how about you practice your chains or talk about the series on this occasion?

hey lets all log onto puyo vs 2 and play the game together! just kidding i know the so called /v/ puyo fans have no real interest in the game

>>724169250
you could've just as easily made a room and at least tried to get people to play instead of complaining.

One day Carbuncleland will be real.

>>724171070
never ever
i do wonder if stuff like that and all of compile's other games they slapped the madou cast into is what's making sega uncomfortable with branching out the franchise aside from early on with the pachislot and the recent youtube show for toddlers but maybe that's just theem dipping their toes back in the water

>>724168953 (OP)
How goes your chain practice, anon? Which game/mode do you usually grind on?
My current goal is to 8-chain in under 30 seconds; current best time 35.7.

>>724175097
i usually play against cpu because endless modes still don't have the fucking option to add garbage but it's still good for making longer chains without it getting interrupted.
not exactly sure why i gravitate to fever 2 aside from really liking the style of the earlier sega games.

>>724175984
Very nice. I too am partial to GTR

Respect

>>724177541
Fever 2 is the last Sega Puyo game that feels like it's actually really putting effort into being a current game instead of "Puyo with gimmicks"

>>724168953 (OP)
Yay a puniru thread!

>>724177918
i know it gets brought up a lot (especially when these threads had more traction) but mikame's stiff posing and resistance to ever draw non-human characters that aren't carbuncle, ecolo, suketoudara and ocean prince whenever they decide to put him in a game kind of makes everyone feel really samey, especially when every game post 20th have most of the cast be glued in (which at this point includes a decent chunk of compile, all of 7's cast because why flesh out suzuran when ringo has the funny idol voice, the few fever cast remaining and for some reason ally because apparently her being from a fucking book barely matters anymore).
puzzle pop being mostly reused models from chronicles sucks but i actually don't mind the textures enough that i'm kind of hoping, if they actually put effort into making new models and animations, the style keeps up the baby show on youtube seems to be going this direction especially with a higher poly suketoudara but it's just as likely that it's just because puzzle pop is the most recent title.
nothing beats the compile styles but i accept that aside from madou fia it's never returning.

>>724179489
>and ocean prince whenever they decide to put him in a game
It's worth noting that Ocean Prince only shows up so much because Mikame's a fag and keeps bringing back OP's human design that was intended to be a oneoff gag in Fever 2. OP's fish design has gotten worse like every other nonhuman.

>>724169250
I like the games, but I will admit it's something I struggle with. It kind of reminds me of fighting games where I always feel like I need to invest more time into it and any time I do spend is just not enough.

Should I get MM4?
I'm hoping if it does well enough it could lead to more MM/PP games being brought to the west (especially the classics)

>>724180357
oh yeah i'm not gonna say ocean prince isn't brought back just because his human form can be milked for his final spell plus 4 more quest alts, he's hanging on by threads (and if champions is anything ecolo can be thrown out at any time too).
>OP's fish design has gotten worse like every other nonhuman.
aside from carbuncle 20th downgraded all the non-humans, even 7's hodgepodge of styles still made something really cool with ecolo and then they fattened him up and made him stop shapeshifting.
>>724180809
it's a relatively fine game. it's nothing special and the dungeons can get really bland but it's not the worst thing i've ever played. i swear they were planning on using solely older casts instead of going with old and new, i get puyo's character traits aren't solely unique but nearly everyone reminded me of a fever or compile character, fia is literally just amitie.

Always build up. Vertical 2 (or 3). Fold under. Power 7 chains count as 8 chains. Disregard tail go go go.

I learned you can build vertical 2 on top of slugs too (this is just normal slugs).

looking at quest alts, they can sure get out there with ideas for actual established characters sometimes even without collabs.

>>724183132
I call it salted slug*

>>724181409
>fia is literally just amitie.
That alone is a pretty good selling point.
Sig is so lucky bros

Here's a salted slug for reference

>>724184216
it kind of depends, fia's a fun character and her allies can be pretty fun (except for will, who is just if you had chronicle lagnus for an entire game) but on the other hand some characters are either just there or don't have much to them at all you befriend suketoudara and the banshee trio and the former is one of the characters that shows up when you're about to go to the final dungeon, but they never join you, you just get fia and 4 partners early into chapter 1 and then aside from twice where they take 1-2 away from you for all of 20 minutes it never adds.
it's a game that's mostly fun but has drawbacks probably due to possibly being of a lower budget.

>>724183324
Didn't they have a Madoka crossover recently?

I know they had a crossover with Spy X Family because I used the art of Raffine in the school universe for my RPG campaign.

>>724184216
Holy fuck, look how how fucking flat she is. That's so hot.

I'm done pounding Ally into the dust. Only Satan is a match for me now.

>>724186702
Man, I wish they brought back some of the fanservice.

>>724186884
It's funny how Satan at one point was almost kind of into Rulue.

>>724185501
apparently they did but it was back in 2024, even then it didn't seem to have puyo characters dressing like madoka characters. even if i don't really care for the game (i wish it released over here but i wouldn't play it) i like when they get silly with the concepts and lines (whenever puyo nexus bothers to translate them, anyway).
>>724187048
>Man, I wish they brought back some of the fanservice.
probably hard to do with puyo's current artstyle and compile being much smaller compared to sega, it's not completely gone but compile was a lot more into both poking fun and leaning into the otaku audience, probably a reason why choppun never got into quest either.

>>724187048
>It's funny how Satan at one point was almost kind of into Rulue.
I know his love for his waifu transcends lifetimes, but talk about pearls before swine

>>724188016
In the Rulue visual novel he basically admits he wouldn't mind dating her but right now has too many confused feelings about arle he needs sorting out.

>but talk about pearls before swine
I mean, I would hit Rulue like a jackhammer.

>>724188536
You and me both

>>724188536
>>724188016
i think 20th was the last time they ever thought about this dichotomy, where schezo talks about satan moreso being terrified of her brute strength despite her lacking magic, only for her to completely fail trying to be considerate by saying she can use her bare fists for cooking and throwing enemies' bodies into the sea to be "tidy", making satan recoil before she starts rambling about post marriage ideas like a bath/dinner/me option before the inevitable puyo battle.
granted this is sega's run rather than what anon talked about with rulue's VN which was during compile's run but it's another thing to think about even with her sega incarnation being extremely one-note.

wait is it technically pooyo pooyo or poiyo poiyo?

>>724189094
Where's this from?

>>724189494
It's a shame since there are elements of Sega Rulue I do still like. Like her getting to play big sister to Raffina or her more chill moments with Schezo and Arle.

Also I miss Minotaur. I know he was never all that popualr but I feel he brought out her best and worst qualities in a way nobody else besides MABYE Satan did.

going back to the whole fanservice thing brought up earlier, i think puyo's in a weird spot where it wants to be a bit more kid friendly with stuff like the artstyle and quest making rulue's yo~n and succubus' outfits less revealing, but still tries to keep the more adult stuff even if it's mainly for comedic purposes like amitie thinking klug's reading a porn mag in fever 2, ecolo doing something that "can't be shown to the audience" to ringo in tetris 2, schezo just existing, and a bunch of shit that happens in 20th, that game is horny. it's an odd balance where anything outwardly or obviously existing just for fanservice, but the writing can still be even slightly sexual in nature, especially when puyo and madou were already games for all ages.

>>724190606
i think yoshino tries her best when trying to make scenarios for these games (and novels/drama cd's when those existed) but it's a bit obvious she really struggles with rulue due to her basically becoming a side character that sticks around due to being part of the original ARS. raffina kind of takes up most of rulue's traits so she's left with being a fighting queen and having her pussy juice flow everywhere when satan is even mentioned. she has her moments but she really needs more people to bounce off of like bringing minotauros back (or just giving her a better spotlight where she's not alone, how the fuck was her story in puzzle pop a main story when nothing fucking happened in it).

Reminder that Arle is four years old in the first game. Four!

>>724191353
>it's an odd balance where anything outwardly or obviously existing just for fanservice
meant to say that anything like that gets scrubbed like again, succubus' outfit even if it was an idea, to 95% of characters becoming flat no matter if they were big or just moderately sized.

>>724191353
Japan has a pretty weird standards in general though. Like, apparently Disgaea is a game for kids in Japan.

>but she really needs more people to bounce off of like bringing minotauros back
Much though I like Schezo I do sometimes think part of the issue is her and Schezo basically switching on who is the more "reasonable' one. Though, like you said, Raffina also kind of stole most of her other character traits. Her and Arle can actually be a lot of fun when it's not just about Satan. Same for her and Schezo, for that matter. Always find their interaction in Sun to be pretty funny.

>>724192115
i know that what japan deems as safe for younger people is different from our perspective, just a bit weird that it's the designs where they start thinking about changing to be less sexual (and in the mobile game too). though maybe it's just time itself changing and i'm too busy thinking about the past where fanservice wasn't looked at with jeering eyes from social media.
>Much though I like Schezo I do sometimes think part of the issue is her and Schezo basically switching on who is the more "reasonable' one.
i'm torn on schezo's depiction in recent games, i like him being reasonable but depending on game he can fall into being puyo's squidward tentacles. he's still a fun character, it just moreso depends on if he cares about the current situation the game is about or not.

pasta bump

If I wanted to get into the games, which one should I start with that is at least newbie friendly so I can get a better understanding with the series' gameplay?

I'll be waiting on the bayoen.fr server on puyo vs is anyone wants to do a ft10.

>>724197246
>the article about japan's favorite puyo games
i actually remember seeing the original article but it was a bit hard to fit into one of these threads cause it was multiple pages long, neat to have it condensed like this.

>>724191749
> to 95% of characters becoming flat no matter if they were big or just moderately sized.
I feel that's honestly just the art style.

>>724192897
>but depending on game he can fall into being puyo's squidward tentacles
I kind of like that though. My favorite depiction of the original Ars trio is probably Puyo Puyo saturn and in that he's mostly just kind of a unhelpful jerk.

>it just moreso depends on if he cares about the current situation the game is about or not.
That's fair.

>just a bit weird that it's the designs where they start thinking about changing to be less sexual (and in the mobile game too). though maybe it's just time itself changing and i'm too busy thinking about the past where fanservice wasn't looked at with jeering eyes from social media.
Do wonder how Disgaea would be viewed today.

>>724200195
>I kind of like that though. My favorite depiction of the original Ars trio is probably Puyo Puyo saturn and in that he's mostly just kind of a unhelpful jerk.
i didn't mean for it to come across as hating it, it is really fun, and it's not like schezo being the butt of the joke wasn't always part of him and like you said he can be grumpy, it's just an odd but nice swerve for him to have instead of all his conversations being about wanting arle's power.
>>724199760
it is obviously the artstyle, though sometimes it can be a bit odd like rulue looking flatter than she probably should while kikimora gets a rather notable pair despite usually having a relatively moderate bust.
it doesn't really matter much anyway in the grand scheme, due to compile having a bunch of people do different games or art character's bust size or sometimes age (whenever they get something concrete) change whenever they feel like, rulue can go from moderate to fucking stacked depending on the art.

we'll get an anniversary game next year right? even if it's just a port of puzzle pop?

fiah

>>724202914
I just hope we get a port of Puzzle Pop at all.

>>724207147
do wonder how long apple wants it to stay in purgatory, the sonic game hasn't been ported either. i have a hunch that due to being bigger series sega will eventually port them, but how they'd port them is up for debate if they'd be enhanced in any way or as a 2 in 1 game or something.

>>724168953 (OP)
well, i have been playing puzzle pop off the apple arcade recently, (and warped kart racers), and i not even good with falling stuff puzzles; chaining scares me.

I like to imaging puyo battles, in reality, are them simply throwing any nearby slime creatures at each other like water balloons until one admits defeat.

>>724209310

Canonically, popping puyos builds mana, which they use to cast your standard RPG spells.

>>724209310
>(and warped kart racers)
If you want a better Kart Racer, Arle is in Ring Racers, along with a ton of nods to Puyo like the Margin Time graphics for duel mode. There's also a pretty good Puyo-themed custom map named Mean Bean Factory.

>>724209310
like another anon said, puyos are basically free MP, so puyo fights are basically magic spell duels, though it's a bit rarer in compile material, a lot of sega material does show that the boards are real and the end result is usually someone getting buried in garbage puyo.

Beating HACK*MATCH is the last thing I need to do to 100% Last Call BBS and I hate it. My Puyo chain brain helps A LITTLE but not as much as I'd like. Really it's more of a Magical Drop which I never liked much, with really unfair boss abilities.

i wish puyo puyo~n was better gameplay-wise. i really love the artstyle, particularly the character portraits

>>724190321
The kana is "pu", so the former.

Poyo is what Kirby says.

>>724210027
it really sucks, i constantly think whenever wanting to replay a game that i should replay it, but then i remember how slow it is and then i don't want to. everything else is so fucking good too which makes it sting harder.

>>724168953 (OP)
I never really liked the game, but as a child I went to japan, tried a UFO catcher. and got THIS motherfucker.

Not exactly Puyo, but is anyone planning on getting Lumines Arise when it comes out on the 11th?

>>724212037
i didn't even know a new lumines was coming out, neat.

puyos!

>>724213506
The demo is pretty good, though it doesn't have the VR support that the full game apparently has

>>724168953 (OP)
Any chances of a puyo rep in the crossworlds free updates?
