My intro to the series, probably like a lot of others my age, came with Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. I've played it a lot since then though. How is Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 in terms of balance?

>>1494813 I never really dabbled in online PPT due to not actually liking Tetris that much but from my understanding it's still incredibly weighted towards the Tetris player and 4-wide is way more powerful.

>>1494562 I kinda wanna get Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 on my Steam Deck, although I'm unsure what the difference to the OG one is. It seems like one of those games that doesn't really benefit from a sequel.

I only know about puyo puyo because I repost these pics in the witch thread every year.

>>1646921 Basically what the other anon said, but I don't think Skill Battle is a "good" inclusion. While it is a good thing, it doesn't get used that often and is really undercooked compared to the game that introduced it, Puyo Puyo Chronicle, I've heard many different opinions on it (I think it's good), but it's definitely a better use of it since it's more an RPG instead of stage progression. It's a fine game otherwise, I just don't get the rerelease instead of waiting to port their Apple Arcade game unless SEGA really wants to keep trying to rake in the Tetris bucks because of how successful the first one was.
