I'm Still Swap Guy - Puyo Puyo Tetris

[@humus4061]

what I like from Schoell is that he does more than just play, he takes the time to give an explanation and give you some tips to help you improve

[@KaffeineAddict]

And this format of doing so is brilliant!

[@cryodual]

Well yeah.. but I'm here to see Schoell slam people with slime, not take Puyo lessons

[@insaknighty]

it’s so helpful for people like me who are starting out on Puyo Puyo!!

I didn't know A Mistake to Ceaseless Agony was a true combo. Wish I could perfect this.

wumbo trying to 4wide and getting swapped on is so entertaining also imagine hyping someone up that hard only to 2-0 him

Ig thats what happens when you do nothing but practice 4 widing on games that havent balanced them right

[@madkiwi9358]

wumbo doesnt deserve all the praise and hype he got back when he was good edit: *comparatively

[@SchoellScrub]

I wouldn't go that far. Like it or not Wumbo is a big reason why a lot of us got into the game in the first place, myself included. I've talked to him a couple of times and he's mostly pretty chill, even if he doesn't talk much. You're allowed to have your own opinion on the guy and his content and gameplay. If he wants to focus on winning by using a pretty over centralizing strategy, he can, but you don't have to respect it. I just don't want any hate to be sent his way, that's all. That said, I do wish he would vary up his content a bit on both YT and his streams. IMO there's a lot of unused potential for Tetris content for a Tetris player of his Calibre.

[@ConJakPre]

@@SchoellScrub I remember when he used to do those challenges for Tetris 99 when someone donated on his stream. I haven’t looked through his channel in a while but whenever I get a video recommendation they always seem to be just “Wumbo vs other top player” which can be cool but honestly they all seem like the same to me, 2 people playing ungoldly fast and you can’t follow them so you’re just waiting for someone to misdrop and the games over (if you’re observant you might be able to catch the misdrop on your first watch)

Games like these make me realize I'll never be able to wrap my head around PvP Tetris and Puyo. All sorts of openers needing memorizing, the Puyo part just making my brain melt. At least I can watch others play, that's like fun as well

[@fivetopoint]

probably impossible to get into, but very entertaining to watch. i feel you there

[@peterpeladon]

The key is to learn against a friend instead of against an expert. It's very fun against someone the same skill level as you

[@catsinwonderland7473]

Yeah, I can do the stair technique In puyo puyo but any other methods make me feel like I'm trying to do advanced calculus. To me at least, Tetris is the simpler one out of the two.

[@HyperfixationWizard]

​@@catsinwonderland7473Same here, that probably has to do with the fact that I've played Tetris way longer than Puyo Puyo.

[@instantnoob]

I love how the fight against wumbo feels like a true final boss with phases where he's vulnerable and invulnerable. A technically fair but barely surmountable fight only if you know how to time your battle strategies.

[@jaysefgames1155]

Followed by the exploit that kills them instantly

[@SawBSketch]

this is the first video i've ever seen on this game, and one thing i loved about this are the characters seemingly chanting spells as you get combos and stuff

[@Langas_LVDC]

I always wanted to get into high level Puyo Tetris, but I just don't have the reaction time, just too slow. It's amazing how fast people can play and react. Your content gets very educative with the explanations and all, very good.

[@noonstar3435]

7:38 "A Mistake" ah yes my favorite tetris opener 😂

[@everythingpizzaandknuckles6268]

Yeah, that made me laugh out loud

[@KnownRed]

As someone who just stumbled into this video with near zero knowledge of this game, i just wanna say you editing was phenomenal

[@weirdlypicturedbeing2122]

Actually a banger video. The editing makes it easier to follow and to see which moments are impactful and why. Really informative, too. Ceaseless agony is my favorite setup

[@SchoellScrub]

Thank you! That's what I was trying to go for!

[@kraniumnol1436]

god you can just FEEL the intensity with these, especially in flaming's first match

[@diskoBonez]

I love the in-depth analysis in the word-bubbles and how the camera zooms in on important moments that I would've easily overlooked.

[@Futon_Penguin]

You played really well in most of these sets, well done

[@Zippy5239]

I absolutely ADORE the new tips and tricks, I also loved the "Technique" (Like gtr) Shown during the match, It actually lets the watcher learn something about the game I hope you could do this with more videos, Because as a tetris player that is somewhat intrested in the swap gamemode, I would love to learn move of these techniques and tips! Oh and fantastic video as always!

Im so glad you're uploading more again! I'm so happy to see puyo coming back (again LOL it seems every summer people want to play again, not that Im complaining), I can't wait to see what the future holds for the community. I need to get back into playing ranked tbh... Seeing ppt1 gameplay is so nice too

[@sonicbhoc]

What are the differences between PPT 1 and 2? Is 1 better or something?

[@SchoellScrub]

In VS the changes are from PPT2 to PPT1 are: - 4-Wide is nerfed by 2 lines - In Puyo Vs Tetris, Puyo has a bonus buff to power chains - The game is also better balanced for Mixed Doubles Puyo + Tetris vs Puyo + Tetris In Swap and Fusion the netcode in PPT1 works much better.

[@zerorock41]

It's so much fun to see where these players shine. Wumbo especially, is in almost total control of the Tetris boards, but is merely following the instructions when he's on Puyo, which slows him tremendously.

[@ethanotoroculus1060]

Watching this game really is a surreal experience unlike anything else huh-

[@joe_laddo]

I was on a community that always trashed PPT and told me it was dead. My god, now I'm afraid of entering XD Great matches as always, Schoell! You're the Swap Master! :D

[@stefanarlio1579]

It's nice to see you still be The Swap Guy for so long, you're incredible at the game. I was only really good at Puyo (For a solid while I was top in my state, Connecticut,) so seeing you being good at both Tetris and Puyo is pretty good motivation, as I've dialed back from playing to work on translating Madou Monogatari games and working on the Puyo Nexus. Again, Incredible skill from you, and the explanations and tips for Swap were really nice.

Hey guys, in this video I'm going to do a step by step tutorial on how to play Swap in Puyo Puyo Tetris Seriously though, that was really amazing to watch. I am CONVINCED that Puyo Puyo is a fighting game in disguise, and it was very interesting to see what was going through your head during these matches. I haven't played in a while but I'm still always amazed to see what others can pull off in this game :)

[@adpheexd4763]

I am frustrated how engaging this game is and how well played and edited this video is. Earned a sub, and I can't even tell the difference between the puyo colors (blue light filter and colorblind.)

[@SchoellScrub]

Haha! Thank you thank you! Just in case if you don't have these games yet, Puyo Puyo Champions and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 has some color-blindness accessibility options for the Puyos in case you wanted to get into it!

[@YoshiTheMage]

Some choice music selections for this video I must say. A Hat in Time is a staple and always welcome, Freedom Planet is a nice surprise but a Doom MIDI, even one from a popular WAD like Ancient Aliens is a whole other level of "Didn't expect to hear this as video background music". Oh yeah the video itself is very good too.

[@kirstenonic05]

Looks like you've still got what it takes to win Swap! The tips in this video were very helpful!

[@MilkshakeVA]

Very nicely made, Schoell! The only criticism I have is the bios and text go by a little bit too quickly for how much words are on them. even if you're a speed reader like me you can't really get all of it without pausing and going back. maybe try to make them last a little bit longer? Great video all around though, looking forward to the next one ❤

[@SchoellScrub]

Thank you thank you and the criticism is always appreciated! I do think it is something I could have done better here. My explanations were probably a bit too obtuse here, which could have helped a lot. My dilemma with the edits here is that I didn’t want to break the pace of the actual match often to convey the information and I didn’t want the text boxes to get in the way of important moments of gameplay. If I ever do another video of this style trying to be mostly focussed on Gameplay but also trying to be informative, maybe I’ll switch the way how I edit things here. Maybe using less zoom ins and cutting the focus away from some moments to allow for more time, or I could infrequently use the pause thing I did near the end to thoroughly explain things further (though not too much that it becomes annoying). I dunno just thinking out loud here for now.

[@Menosh]

I, personally, really liked this format. I really appreciated the pace of the video being kept- made the whole thing feel more engaging. I didn't mind having to pause to read some of the longer text boxes as a tradeoff.

[@SchoellScrub]

I think the criticism is still valid here! After watching this back for like the 15th time there are a couple of instances where I think a text box fades out too fast unnecessarily, but that also said I did want to keep the pace consistent. Nothing more annoying to a viewer to have that pace broken to make the KZbinr babysit them for the sake of runtime when part of the appeal of high level gameplay (or at least that’s what my viewers have been calling it here) is the flow and pace of the match which is something I wanted to keep here. The only time I broke this was at the end, partially since there was a lot to point out… but mostly so the end of the music track would play out because I thought it synced up well! I do want to stick to my style of editing, so I won’t be adapting every bit of feedback that I do get for my next projects, but they’ll always be considered especially if it does fit in to that style. I want to improve at this.

The right side thing is purely coincidental, it’s just a quirk of how ranked lobbies save in replays. Those that wait alone in a ranked lobby for someone to join are often player 1 and those that match up with them are often player 2. Thank you for the compliment! ^^

This video was really top-notch in editing and gameplay.

[@weirdcreature9928]

Great video, the tips and bg info rly help to give context to the match which makes it even more exciting. Swap is my favourite mode on ppt and you consistently have the most nail-biting matches haha My only complaint is that the frequent use of zooms is a bit nauseating, though that might just be a me problem. Still, I think just having text appear is enough to grab someone's attention, you don't also need to zoom in on it. And when a big chain/combo goes off, I'll naturally focus on that anyway, no zoom needed

[@SchoellScrub]

Thank you for the feedback and deepest apologies about the nausea. The most of the feedback I’ve gotten surrounding the zoom ins have been mostly positive, but I don’t want it to be nauseating to anyone. I can see a lot of the zooms are fairly sudden and fast, maybe I could reduce the frequency of them and slow the animation down a little bit? Just thinking out loud here. Not quite sure just yet but something to consider. Thanks anyhow!

[@weirdcreature9928]

@@SchoellScrub Don't worry, it's not a major problem anyway, the video is still watchable for me. But yeah, slower or less frequent zooms would probably help. Though if this isn't common feedback then it is just probably a me problem lol Thanks for the consideration anyway!
