Puyo Puyo Tsu Speedrun Single Player Hardest Difficulty 400k+ points in

Find guides etc on the English speaking community's website's forum at puyonexus.net/ or on the french community's website here : www.bayoen.fr/
I complete the run on emulator (Puyo Puyo Tsu REV00) in roughly 8 minutes 36 seconds, from the moment I select the single player mode until the fade out after I beat Masked Satan (Unlockable hidden boss if you reach the last stage with over 150k points and have never lost a continue). The in-game time is 406 seconds, or 6 minutes and 46 seconds of gameplay.
In order to achieve 400k points, I manipulate the RNG at the start by setting it to a known value at the beginning of stage 1. Its value changes every small timestep during the intro and in the main menu, so by mashing the start and a,b,c buttons until the tower shows up, I make sure that I get a specified distribution of colors against the first opponent (for the later opponents other parameters interfere and make it hard to predict). Since it depends on which character I am pitted against as well, I continue mashing so I get Skeleton-T. Then I know exactly what to do in order to get that 16 chain in stage 1, landing me 295k points. Then I just have to survive the later stages of the game while scoring decently in order to get the remaining 105k points. Things go smoothly here but the RNG can make a hell out of this game !

Old-ass poorly compressed Japanese voice acting has such a weird charm to it.

[@ralphschraven339]

Amazing, working with a tiny space like that and squeezing it for all it's worth to produce a 16-chain, incredible.

[@BrouHounF]

Thank you! Of course this run is quite old so I don't have all the specifics in mind but in the description you'll find the reason I could do this 16 chain so seemlessly: the RNG was setup so I would get a specific color distribution which I practiced to get this chain. If I missed my timing at the very beginning I would get another distribution and just reset (since I couldn't find a better chain with it) or sometimes I would select the wrong first opponent which would alter the distribution as well. Anyway, nowadays I would have ideas on how to find the best possible chain since the distribution is known, but I can't record new runs on my laptop (for some reason, the emulator and the recording software make my computer crash :( )

[@gracefulassassin6845]

I must say, stage 1 was absolutely brilliant!

[@TeaRektum]

Read the description it was a RNG manipulated chain. He did a series of inputs to get a specific order of colors and exploited it to get a perfect chain.

That was what we call... An epic gamer move as THAT REQUIRED GOOD USE OF TROLLING.

[@chrism2631]

is there a secret opponent in puyo puyo 2 Sega genesis

[@BrouHounF]

Yes! Masked Satan is the hidden opponent in the genesis version (the one I play in this video), the arcade version (same as the genesis version) and the SNES version, as far as I know. He replaces the normal final boss Satan if you arrive at the last stage with a score of 150k points or more (or is it 180k points? I can't remember) and you haven't lost a life yet. If you die on Masked Satan he reappears though, no worries. There are other hidden opponents you can find on each tower level, see the puyonexus article on the game for reference : puyonexus.net/wiki/Puyo_Puyo_Tsu
