How to play Puyo Puyo - Lesson 1: Concept of making chains

~8 years, but yeah

[@nutpea.]

7 years, still no lesson 2. Welp.

[@Kblademstr]

lev1t1cus you never know something might have happened to him...

[@YongyoonKim]

No, no, no, you misunderstand. Lesson 2 is available once you master lesson 1. Hernan will post after the year requirement is met. I think it's 8-10 years. So, see you next year.

[@ophem5533]

9 years now

[@Jjustjacob]

lev1t1cus yea, he's not making it

[@blueatomic5773]

10 years :/

[@tcatking9761]

Guys, he's coming out with pt 2 soon I can feel it. Sure its been 13 years but time is just a number!

[@EluTran]

Still one of my favorite guides to recommend, despite it being almost 10 years old, haha. Helped me out so much when I first started. Can't wait to see the newcomers with Puyo Champions :)

[@connorchristy7476]

Elu Tran bruh i just got champions i’m about to kill myself this game is so hard

[@Ilovemyfamily2888]

It is 11 years

Holy shid it's the guy that posted the undertale ost!!!! Happy to see people like you have fun with Puyo too!

@@fuckpeppapig8165 I've been playing on and off for over 4 years. :)

[@mozeki]

Played Puyo Puyo Tetris for the first time yesterday and was completely lost on the Puyo side of the game, but i'm addicted so this will help me enjoy myself more! Thankfully I haven't been waiting for Lesson 2 for too long unlike others here.

[@doktorfickle2077]

"just pop it and hope that it chains up" ummm.... u-uh no! I PLANNED all of that!

[@StickBreightley]

This was actually really helpful and now I’m sad that there’s no lesson 2

[@femmefatale5966]

So the new Puyo vs Tetris came out and I have a child slightly older than this video. My kid is better than me at this. I'm gonna need a part 2

[@lupvirga]

the concept is easy to understand, it's the execution that needs to be work on. personally i think some people have an easier time grasping that part then others. Tetris is so simple though that anyone can do it, though the execution of building flat and fast needs to happen.

[@TheFantasticWarrior]

lupvirga modern Tetris isn't that simple with srs and things like 4 wide

[@zero123alpha6]

11 years later : ) i dont mind that there's no other lessons because i really appreciate this one. HernanZh, if you see this, thank you for making this video and how you've impacted the puyo puyo community.

[@icemcfrost]

I'm going to watch this video until I can CONSISTENTLY construct a 9 chain in 20 seconds. I like this video. Teaches beginners the basics.

[@unxcorn]

"see you in the next episode!" me: *ITS BEEN 11 YEARS WHEN ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THE NEXT ONE?!?!??!*

[@PotionConjurer]

Easily the best intro to making chains. Even though this series never really kicked off I'm still glad this video exists.

[@CrimsonSnow]

Thank you for the tutorial. I've played Puyo as a child since Dr. Robonicks MBM came out, then moved on to the originals. While I played knowing the concept of a 'trigger', I hadn't actually grasped the concept of creating 'new triggers' like you show here. I always had the one trigger I based everything around, limiting my combo to around an 8 chain. Thank you so much for this.

[@celry]

Thank you for this video! I just got started playing Puyo Puyo today after watching people for a while and this makes so much more sense when it's done out slower than the pro players 😆 I can't wait to try this out!

[@rpglover101]

Can't wait for the next part!

[@diegorodriguez5054]

DoubleSpoiler are you still waiting for the next part? Lol 😂

[@rpglover101]

Yup lol. And I'm still garbage at Puyo. Thanks a lot, Hernan.

[@Doomvwr]

omg lol

Just got this for the switch. I get killed online. Time take take your lesson to the battlefield. Coming for that #1 spot!

[@danteishimura9189]

Hi there, Herman. There is a game called Judgment by SEGA (the guys who made the Yakuza Saga and Judgment plays just like it), and in the game is the mini game Puyo Puyo. The most advised tactic is the 3 column tower which you feature in your video from the 1 minute 15 mark. I 100% agree that this adds an even bigger luck factor to the requirement which is to win 25 in a row which you need to then have a character called Rulue appear. Before finding these beginner videos I had been using the 3 tower technique for over 32 hours and only managed to reach round 26 once in that time and still never won. I'm now having to relearn the whole thing all over again without being tempted to quit out and just stick to the 3 tower method. But I know if I can get a consistent method of hitting a 4-6 chain on a regular basis then I can smash the requirement and do so quicker and easier. But the other problem is the AI just doesn't give you time to even practice before it fills your screen with garbage Puyo's.,

[@Guccibear100]

Nice, now I won't have to rely on Tetris to beat my friends.

[@thefinalduane]

It's been 8 years and there's no lesson 2 smh

[@HernanZh]

No, I had a british person do a voice over

[@alvin_row]

HernanZh where is lesson 2? ;-;

[@missmarreynolds]

Mate, its been 10 years I just wanna master puyo puyo tetris

[@averagesky8549]

Lesson 2 when?

[@leg912]

HernanZh who are you responding to

[@averagesky8549]

@@leg912 7 years ago back in the old days of youtube, replying wasn't a function. And you had to literally just post a comment and hope they'd refresh their page to read it

[@tomatzu]

A very good tutorial video. Outlying the basics is what puts most new players off, especially that Fever is the only game they've played and won't change. You've done a really good job on explaining the basics. I look forward to seeing your next video, and those that follow.

[@HernanZh]

Thanks. I know I'm now I'm hardly active on KZbin and it's been a looong while since I last uploaded a video ^^;;

[@hobbes9469]

Wow. This and the nexus helped me quite a bit. I was using the "newbie" tactics that you described at the beginning before I saw this video. Now I can kinda make 4 or 5 chains easily. Thanks!

[@shieldwalker]

When you realize S2lSOFTNER was in the video 6:09

[@scwt89]

:o

[@Omega_thehusky]

thats such an amazing catch its not even funny

[@progressjournal]

I've been waiting for ten years just for an episode two ;-;

[@blackjewelwolf]

this will be helpful for me, the best I can construct at the moment is a 3 chain, and that's by pure luck

[@missmarreynolds]

Hope you're better niw!

[@malikmalikmalikmalikma]

8 years later I wonder how good you are now, or if you still even play the game

[@MontyEggman]

Nice video. I'm kinda glad I got MBM, as that had helped spur me into using chains often. Hope to see more of these very soon.

[@demithefiend]

8 years later... no lesson 2

[@Slashser]

For some reason my brain just doesn't work fast enough when it comes to puyos, but this is such a great video, it has helped me immensely

[@EternalBlueSyaoran]

Wow, this was very helpful. I started Puyo with DR. Robotnik's mean bean as a kid, and never thought of it this way. I guess I generally did how people call it, the "stairs" technique. Recently started puyo pop fever for DS and trying to get better XD

[@SRUFUS3D]

Where's Lesson 2?

[@ziggybaba]

Yeah, I play in normal mode. You see, I wasn't all that good at making large chains becuase i often explode them to soon do to a mistake or getting colors I don't know what to do with. All clearing was the only option i had if I wanted to win without depending on fever. Besides, building on the instant patterns makes up for that lack of speed at the start of the round. None the less, I must thank you for making this video, I understand how large chains are keep in play now.

[@Manavine]

*watches video, completely oblivious, then sees him logon as Hernan* Whhhhaaaaattt?

[@AKablalik]

This is like the Sonic 2 Bonus Video all over again, one day, this guy is going to come back out of nowhere to make Lesson 2 out of spite, just you wait…

[@olegtarasovrodionov]

Where's lesson 2?

[@malikmalikmalikmalikma]

In the hole

[@luditheuber]

Yay now I don't have to rely on unreliable turnarounds for my stair stack to get 7 chains.

[@jballs5434]

Oh, boy! I sure can't wait to get to part 2!

[@BabyBruna232]

@HernanZh I need to learn Puyo so bad... This video is awesome though, watched it at LEAST 10 times!! I recently downloaded the Puyo Puyo 7 patch by the way! Thanks so much!

[@111mi]

Honestly thank you so much, you explaimed it so simply!

[@SomeNebulaGuy]

Can´t wait for lesson 2!

[@malikmalikmalikmalikma]

Im not sure he will make it since we'll... It's been ten years I just hope he will come back

[@porkins93]

I fucking shred at tetris. So you guys know why I am here.

[@Izuhu]

Yo Ms.Accord didn't teach me shit..... Lesson 2 pls c:

[@enderplays4590]

... helpful, but its been 8 years and still no episode 2 XD

[@UltraEpicLeader10020]

Instructions unclear. Ended up defeating Dr. Robotnik.

[@Zoular]

Oldest video, one of the best video

[@hardmancanada]

I like your video! you explained the concept of making combos(my way to say chains) in a simple way. Puyo puyo game are the best puzzle game that I ever played in my life. that game is so good that I'm going to remember puyo puyo in my after-life.

[@FerousFolly]

Very helpful video, can't wait for episode 2!

[@sapphirebulletbill]

As much of a noob as I am, this could be helpful. Thanks.

[@sang1582]

I wonder if the series will continue 9 YEARS LATER XD

[@MataMataMata34]

was watching this randomly then he pulled up the site and was so confused, then I looked at the date this was posted and it all made sense.

[@lily91109]

Man... This video is a time capsule...

[@boscorner]

This is the best fuckin puyo chaining tutorial.

[@boscorner]

Shame there's no part 2

[@mrwizzardknight]

Where is this totally awesome lovely Dutchman now?! Where has he been?! XD

[@TimothyCreamlets2.0]

this will be very helpful in my sonic mania speedrun

[@Yuseigo]

holy shit i just noticed this was 11 years ago

[@TheCraziestMonkey]

Ideal for the budding Puyo player such as myself. Many thanks.

[@Reigam4]

And in Robotnik's mean bean machine i felt badass when i made a 4-chain XD

[@devidotnova]

this is INCREDIBLY conditional

[@berriebarrera]

Uses this video for Puyo Puyo v Tetris. Almost a decent player as opposed to a complete chump I was 15 minutes ago

[@TheSordaKnown]

SWEET!!! I love Multi-Media Fusion!!! Nice vid btw! Oh, also, did you use an array object to make matches? And if so, can you explain? I want to make a game like this. :D

[@astronights]

Tfw lesson 2 never came out.

[@HeroineOfTime]

I feel terribly called out by the beginning, I-

[@ShininDawg]

this is what i just can't understand, i remember i been playing this game on my ds for at least a couple of month, and i nearly broke it, i can't even beat the normal mode, i just can't! this game made me feel that i'm just too stupid to get it. damned game

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

I just played on luck honestly. All I would do is stack three same colored puyos together and did so for the other puyos and hoped to make a chain

[@ShininDawg]

***** yeah, i began playing it using this "method" too, but you can only beat the easy mode like that. later in the game you just can't rely on this technique, and got to learn to make these chains, and i just couldn't get this. and me being the perfectioner and all i tried and tried and tried. ugh, this game drove me sooo angry at myself

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

Yeah, these methods may end up being a little confusing, but with enough practice, anything's possible. Even I didn't quite get it at first, but after watching gameplay videos, I started to get the hang of it.

[@wingfan112kim3]

+ShininDawg I know when I was 8 it took me 2 month to beat the harahara course on hard mode

[@HernanZh]

Yes, I remember. You're good enough at Puyo that you don't need to watch this :P

[@juneru2]

this was very helpful! before this, i had NO idea what was going on when people played puyo, lol.

[@Jetterz1999]

im assuming people only came here because of puyo puyo tetris

[@Vinny_Chaser]

Good job Hernan! congratz. pls continue, im loving!

[@sirnoodles8147]

11 years later still no part 2

[@altaccount3213]

Now I can actually enjoy playing puyo puyo!

[@WobbuffetBoy]

Damn, this tutorial aged pretty well

[@ziggybaba]

Now I can't help but wonder if using all clears to start up an instant chain pattern is wrong. Because I mostly start a 3 or 4 chain into all clear and try to set the new pattern up so that also all clears and repeat. I won many matches using that style of play rather than going for big chains, it's just easier for me.

[@banjosteamboat1514]

Very useful after 10 years!

[@t1ww]

Nice 👍 I just got into puyo xd

[@KayGeeEll]

Anyone here for Sonic Mania on....... (WARNING SPOILERS BELOW) To see how to beat Chemical Plant Act 2 Boss? (For the boss you must beat Dr. Robotnik in a Mean bean machine game, weird but true)

[@Jetterz1999]

when you realize it's incredibly easy even for people who've never played the game before

[@KayGeeEll]

coolerman11 yea they should’ve stepped up the difficulty. I died once then looked up this video, and didn’t really use it when I played again, which I immediately won. Though a great reference!

I can't seem to make it past a 5-chain* and I feel like the puyo given never seem to line up well enough for me to make good threes and combos like this. Can anyone help me? *intentionally more than a 5-chain, without random placement or lucky stuff after 5-chain stairs
