I’m gonna be honest,a huge reason why I got into the PPT scene(as a spectator) was 100% because of Schezo’s story in the English dub
Someone had to say it, yep XD
hey that's my name in the description!!! and that's my chain animations clip!!! imperial cross poggers!!!!! I thought I was only getting paid in pictures of cat!!!!!! wow recognition!!!!! fantastic video!!!!!!!!!
Tag once again revolutionising the Tetris scene by making actually good content.
This was a legitimately great watch, kind of bizarre seeing a summary of all the events since I've seen all of this happen first hand someway or the other.
Honestly I think PPT and even Modern Tetris in general could use more videos like this. You're doing good work as always Tag.

It's still wild to think back on when I ran PPT at AnimEVO on a whim and to see the ripples it made in the many years to come...
Fantastic video, especially given it's the first time you're trying this style. I deeply enjoyed this refresher of PPT history, and I think it deserves a lot of attention!
You forgot to mention the existence of kirby's avalanche and pingas machine the perfect puzzle game.
This is truly a masterpiece. The result of all your hard work is incredible. All the subtle details were awesome too. I was laughing my ass of at points. God shit man, I can’t wait to see more.
Every once in a while I'll go back and watch the CEOtaku 2017 VODs and cringe a little at my commentary. The ending of the final round was the most hype thing ever and all I could manage was a dumbfounded giggle.
haha that 2017 tournament footage is totally what got me hooked too. Great video dude
Accurate + banger video
neat, I remember a lot of this stuff happening, so it's cool to see it all documented in video form.
tbh when I first found out that the stallwide meta was a thing, I was still super new to competitive tetris, and so I actually found the counterintuitive aspect of the gameplay really intriguing and fascinating.
I first saw it happening on an amemiya stream and I was super confused about what was happening. (I asked around, and okeydokey explained it to me. I was like 'ohhhhhh!')
I genuinely really enjoyed watching WPL PPT open 6 when it was happening. the negative and downer sentiment in chat put me off more than anything about the gameplay tbh. maybe I'm an outlier...
around the time PPT2 launched, I made a meme involving nichijou and 4-wide. I think a lot of people misunderstood my intent behind that
I didn't want to mock PPT or the stalling meta, I wanted to be like "Y'ALL there are mind games in competitive tetris, THIS IS COOL" and also "there are fan games and official games that have creative ways of changing the meta, THIS IS ALSO COOL" and maybe "hey sega there are a lot of passionate ppl who don't like this meta (not me tho im not a competitive player) maybe you could do something about it pls? thx"
it's also worth remembering that the competitive side of tetris and PPT especially is still extremely niche, and things that are common knowledge to us are not obvious at all to the average spectator. it's easy to forget that if you've been here in this rabbit hole for a long time.
for example, last year, in infexiousdc's restream of the Amemiya vs. Kazu match from Kemonomichi 4, I noticed that it isn't until about half an hour into the match that they finally understand where the silver blocks are coming from; they originally thought the silver blocks were point-based. and only after this did they realize that the random "slowdowns" were not random at all, but rather the two players intentionally stopping ("footsies" as they referred to it, drawing a fighting game analogy)
I remember looking through the replies on my tweet regarding the stalling meta, and my favourite ones were the newcomers being curious about competitive tetris. This is the kind of energy I like to see.
Great Video!
Puyo Puyo Tetris will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember getting in to tetris through someone I worked with telling me about Tetris 99. I was enamored by the competitive gameplay and that lead me to watching T99 videos on youtube by Wumbo, and then of course PPT videos by Wumbo. I clearly had to pick up the game and experience the 1v1 version of competitive tetris. I was instantly hooked, and I would play a ton and watch a ton of videos. I remember the most influential video from when I started being a video of CEOtaku 2017 of Wumbo vs Ddr_Dan in swap mode. I instantly knew I wanted to train as hard as I could to get as good as those players.
Fast forward two years and PPT has changed my life. It is probably my all time favorite game. I have probably 100x playtime the past two years to any other game besides PPC. I no longer play much tetris, about once or twice a month, but have become a frequent puyo player. I have unfortunately transitioned from playing on my switch, to playing on my PC, which has plenty of problems with matchmaking. The tournaments are getting better and more frequent, and I will also be attending WPL in august which I am super excited for! I am enjoying the new era of 32 second margin Puyo vs Tetris.
Perfect use of the Breaking Bad clip and an overall phenomenal video essay on the history of PPT. I really enjoyed my time meeting and playing so many of you in my streams. Playing you Tag, Blink, Joefu, and countless community members was a lot of fun. Cheers! I’ll be around
i'd probably slip the word "competitive" into the title just for the sake of clarity. banger video ngl
good idea
Wow. Very well put together, entertaining video. GG.
Good work on this vid :) hope to see more like it soon
great video tag, I learned a lot from it. I also wish you mentioned that in the kazu vs amemiya exhibition match, kazu beat amemiya’s 4w without 4w himself. may have given hope to some in the community that 4w is sorta counter-able (with some luck)
Great overview!
I want to briefly mention that Swap Mode, while still incredibly laggy on netcode in PPT2, is still surviving as a niche category offline, having taken place in Frosty Faustings in 2022 as the first big LAN post COVID years. There are also plans for Swap to be hosted for the WPL SoCal bracket as well.

Great video. I hope that this will help revitalise the interests in the game.
From what I can see, the Japanese PPT community is still very active in both games, but they are more or less detached from the remaining international playerbase. I believe Square One would have been a great tournament to connect the communities (with some high profile players like amemiya playing), but it sadly didn't happen.
The future looks uncertain, but I do hope that the game will regain its popularity.

P/S: I personally like the game, but I'm still annoyed by the netcode (Sega please!)
Wow. I enjoyed PPT1 a lot and was very excited when the sequel was announced and enjoyed that as well, since I was mainly excited for story mode.
I had no idea the competitive community had so many problems with it. Thanks to your video, I know the just of it!
No play dr. mario and tetris and qwirks those are better
Amazing video!
Great and informative video! 🗿👍
This seems to be a history of the competitive scene of the PPT games and not the ACTUAL history of them. Still, a pretty good video.
yeah I thought that I made it clear from the first sentence of the introduction but sorry if that was ambiguous
@@AddTagHere Play pingas
Thanks for sharing!
I think the most fun I've had with ppt was at celtic throwdown 2019 being there with my friends and playing a game I love is just great
my only real issue with ppt and tetris as a whole is that a majority of events are online, it's just not the same as being physically present for an event
great video
The chain animation lag was only on switch due to its lower specs. needless to say shouldn't have happened anyway
very poggers tag
amazing video!
Great video! Feels a little weird that you didn't mention TE:C at all, but otherwise a well-made and entertaining watch!
A year late from the video's release, but this was one of my thoughts as well! I never ended up buying ppt2, and just went from ppt1 to te:c and never looked back. The regular game is already incredible, but bringing a major community figure on to help watch dev was a brilliant idea. NES has gotten a proper outlet and is much more accessible which is amazing even though i dont play classic. Zone battle is also something i love, the offense/defense strategy options it offers really reinforces good play on top of just speed, since one slip isnt necessarily an instant death sentence. Its also beautiful to watch, some of my friends who dont even play tetris enjoy watching tourneys with me.
And ofc, combos got a nerf normally, and a bonus nerf with zone enabled to prevent zone 4wides from being too devastating. Although zone basically prevents stall in the first place a lot of the time.
Loved this video
epic ppt lore video ngl
Great video tag! I’ve always kinda just played the game without looking into the competitive history behind it, quite fascinating.
This is just my opinion as someone who has scripted video essays but never released them, but I think the pacing of the video is quite fast. I think maybe allowing visuals to linger on screen for a little longer and letting sentences linger in the air a little longer would make the pace feel more comfortable. I understand wanting to make an efficient product though, so you can definitely just ignore me if you think I’m talking out of my butt
Enjoyed the video tag.
My two cents on something left out of the video,
I do think the offline scenes of PPT1/PPT2 also play a factor in the present day. I know not a lot of the top players on Puyo or Tetris side entered these events but I do think they hold a solid level of importance. IMO it shows people are still willing to play the game locally even without the influence of “popular figures”.
Events of CEO, Frosty Faustings, WNF, Switchfest ect. showed the game has interest even outside its niche online circle. Especially with E.Os offering places for the game to be run or to return due to general interest from people showing up but the appeal that game has. I think that is an important factor of the present day that gets left out. That shows there are more people to potential get involved and participate in the game
Even though these scenes are not “heavily” involved due to the nature of offline and online interactions I think it is still notable. Even if the online scene of the game “crashes” offline players are still going to play no matter what.
Great content
another big problem with ppt2 was that they made the small board of ppt1 even smaller, and the 3 or 4 player games still had a shit layout
This is my first time seeing wumbo's face
Common Tag Banger
7:21 incredible
This is the moment Wumbo becomes Tize
Great video, really enjoyed it, got a sub from me. I would suggest working on the audio a bit though, there's quite a bit of variety in the volume, especially at 8:18 with how quiet the Breaking Bad segment is compared to the rest of the video.
yeah there are a lot of audio problems in this vid lol :p ill try my best to mitigate them in mu next one
Thanks for the sub!
@@AddTagHere Looking forward to the next one, you have a knack for storytelling. The volume variation didn't ruin the video, but it would have definitely improved it. Hopefully it's constructive criticism, can't wait for the next one!
Dropped a like! i love tetris!

I'm dying at that thomas midgley meme
W video
Nice video
7:21 amogus
when wumbo has no chin in the thumbnail
I liked the part where Wumbo
I miss you tag 😮💨😮💨😮💨

slay
Slay what?
So... this is a history of Tetris in PPT, not necessarily the history of Puyo Puyo Tetris.
i liek tetris
I play for puyo so
But what about the Puyo Puyo fans
who?
this is a really solid video but didn't really focus on the puyo side
after all this was the only competitively played puyo game until puyo puyo esports came out so it feels a bit unfair to only focus on the tetris side of the competitive history since swap was the main game mode played at lans
16:33 also i gotta defend some people here. you make it sound like they intentionally premeditated the act of streaming and then refunding the game as a stunt to trash the game. while it's undeniable that the effect was detrimental, I don't think it's fair to accuse some people of intentionally doing that; PPT2 did have a lot of problems at launch, and even someone genuinely wanting to give it a fair playtest could come away with a bad impression.
This is exactly what happened lol. Garbo’s title was literally “refunding after this stream”
@@AddTagHere you're right. that's why I made it a point to say "some" people ^_^;;
(I didn't want to single anyone out, though, so I kept it vague...)
I guess what I mean here is that the people who refunded the game after already thinking its bad were more vocal than everyone else. People who played the game and refunded it after not liking it were fine in doing so
@@AddTagHere fair enough
This game deserves more love
PPT is bad. And for my *next* lie, i have *12 fingers* !
Puyo Puyo? What's that?
Did you mean Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Never could make it past level 2 in Mean Bean Machine 😅
To much tetris too little puyo
