Watching this video again really just puts into perspective how big Puyo Puyo is / was in Japan. Like this was 1997?! With huge events and commentators and a live crowd. Maybe one day I can dream of Puyo being this large in the west...
It's so weird there's no puyo puyo representation of any kind in smash, considering that Arle is such an iconic character in Japan (and thanks to puyo puyo Tetris, she was known a bit more in the west); there's not even a spirit, it makes you wonder if Nintendo /Sega were against it or if something else was going on at the time
Given how much the Puyo meta has changed it now feels weird to see someone building Stairs in a final match. (Also, think of this. Puyo Puyo was being broadcast live before Starcraft was even released)
0:10 And, like a pheonix rising from the ashes, a Puyo Puyo legend is summoned into this world to bring justice to the gaming community, as "Brave of Puyo Puyo" is playing. The Puyo Puyo community is freaking incredible, no joke. You don't even see this kind of stuff in a Melee tournament.
Wow!! This is really the most epic tournament of a video game i have ever seen!! Im glad Puyo Puyo is this big in Japan, its perfect for competition. The entrance was epic too lol.
@@roccoanthony8930 , no, Tetris is a lot better and Puyo Puyo is a lot more limited in structure. Please remind me of what not only the top puzzle game franchise, but also one of the top five biggest, as well as top five most iconic, video game franchises of all time is in video game standings and history? Oh, wait, none of those things apply to Puyo Puyo games.
I can't help but see, in the year 2020, how far e-sports broadcasting has come. A lot of the outside-the-game elements are cool, but the fact the game remains absolutely tiny for the vast majority of the match so we can see the players staring at the screen is deeply frustrating, it's hard to even see what they're doing a lot of the time.
Seeing the way the blue player plays, I'm surprised he got as far as he did. He pretty much stacked the bottom every time. The other player was much more unpredictable, even launching a few early heavy chains and coming out of a few scrapes. All I'm saying is, you have to have some back-up methods if your initial approach doesn't pan out. If you cover the bottom row with about 2 layers of ojama, the blue player would have been hard-pressed to have come up with something else quickly.
This has got to be the coolest 😮thing i ever seen in my life! I absolutely love how the audience was so into this and knowledgeable about what’s going on… It’s like it’s bigger than the world cup or the superbowl or something so 😎 cool!
Wish it was as big in the west screw the world cup, screw the olympics. Tune into the puyo world championships. Not that I dislike the olympics or the world cup b4 anyone starts.
@@Jonny_. , and yet the first Puyo Puyo game did indeed have not only an English translation in the arcade, but that it also got released in the NTSB-U region...weird.
@@RoddyDev To answer the four-year old question: yes, there are still Puyo tournaments. They play on Puyo Puyo Champions for PS4 / Switch these days, not like the Super Famicom version seen in this vid. :D
I used almost the same strategy as the guy on the right as a kid, but I usually had a couple extra combos at the end of the domino sends at the bottom.
Good thing that we still have Sega making these Puyo Puyo games for us. This game may not be popular in the USA at that time but it surely was popular in Japan so Compile should be receiving lots of money for this.
If I remember right...They weren't the best with Money, but they took out a lot of loans and overextended, then gave the rights to Sega 'temporarily' to ease their burden, but were unable to prevent their bankruptcy. As a result, Sega kept the rights ever since. They later reformed into Compile Heart, and have been working on a bunch of JRPGs like Fairy Fencer F and the Neptunia series.
@@shiftfire4511 Adding to that is their hyper-saturation of Puyo Puyo. IIRC they got so bad with it that they had two Game Gear games come out weeks apart at one point.

Okay: Puyo Puyo didn't exist in the West in 1997 and even today it is little marketed outside Japan. Instead in Japan in 1997 they organized competitive Puyo Puyo tournaments which were broadcast on TV and moved more people than Lucca Comics. But the real question is: How the fuck did Compile fail in 2001???
@吉川りくそん, ヨッシー、この試合はかなり均等だったので、1997年にテレビでこのイベントを見たり、トーナメントが開催された場所に住んでいない限り、これはかなり均等だったと確信しています。 ぷよぷよトーナメントでの対戦。 Yosshī, kono shiai wa kanari kintōdattanode, 1997-nen ni terebide kono ibento o mi tari, tōnamento ga kaisai sa reta basho ni sunde inai kagiri, kore wa kanari kintōdatta to kakushin shite imasu.

How come neither of them went for All Clears? Sure, in the long run, they wouldn't have really mattered, but for quick attacks, they could have been pretty deadly.
I love how the public also chants the spells. It really adds to the hype.

Why can't EVO have entrances like that. eSports is supposed to be fun.
So it doesnt burn out in a few years like GodsGarden
Harrison Otte what?
Puyo Puyo Tetris was in AnimEVO, this year.
SBO had this stuff and people didn't support it nearly enough.
Because esports is trying too hard to be "SRS BUSINESS"
Seeing how they play makes me realize how much I suck.

Are you two good already?

Given how much the Puyo meta has changed it now feels weird to see someone building Stairs in a final match.

Man these are some mean beans.
I wonder why the woman announcer says all the 2P attack sounds like: the one with Arle saying Yatana
and yet no one chants with her
Probably a combination of the tape's age, her piercing voice, and the P2 voice clips being less well-known.

If only Tetris was this intense
It can be ive seen it for my self
Kayden That's what Puyo Puyo Tetris is for.
BOOM TETRIS FOR JEFF
I want to see them competing with puyo puyo tetris
Fun fact: in Kirby's Avalanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, you cannot deflect your opponent's attacks.
That's because these two games are based on the first Puyo Puyo, which does not have offsetting
@@Jonny_. , and yet the first Puyo Puyo game did indeed have not only an English translation in the arcade, but that it also got released in the NTSB-U region...weird.
