Post your favorite vs. puzzle games!

I've been playing Magical Drop 3 lately, and it's a pretty awesome game. I'm hoping that we will eventually get to play Puyo Puyo Tsu on GGPO, that's a good one too.

As much as I like pantsless women, I'm gonna have to go with Panel de Pon.

>> No.620373

Panel de Pon here.

Puyo Puyo is very frustrating to me. I hate when I'm working on a combo and the enemy drops garbage on me and ruins it. It sounds like an annoying little niggle, but it happens CONSTANTLY, and it completely ruins my enjoyment of the game.

Panel de Pon's garbage doesn't completely fuck over whatever you were doing.

Tetris Attack / Panel De Pon.

The music is great.

That's why it's great.

You have to formulate a strategy around whether you want to go for big chains in a single sweep, or build up annoyances to stop your opponent's chains little by little.

I can't honestly fathom how you're supposed to recover from Puyo Pop garbage once it drops.

>> No.620496

>>620383
Oh no, I definitely appreciate Puyo Puyo's tactical depth. But it's not a skill thing, it's an emotional thing. I get annoyed a little each time my opponent ruins the combo I'm working on, and after a few matches I am an incarnation of rage and hatred. Panel de Pon DOESN'T make me constantly angry the whole time I'm playing it.

I stink at Columns, but I got decent at Panel de Pon so I guess practice would make me like Columns more.

I'm not that type of person, I guess.

It's funny, though, because I usually don't get mad at games. I don't get mad when I get killed by stupid bullshit in platformers or anything like that. Puyo Puyo is one of the only games that does it to me.

I'm the opposite I guess.

I can do any falling block puzzler like it's my second nature, but the switching around games like PdP and Meteos always confuse the hell out of me.

>> No.620671

It's odd how on higher levels, the garbage in Panel de Pon is huge, but it takes enough time to break that you can easily set up vertical chains to continue the combo. Meanwhile, in the easier settings, the garbage is so small that it's harder to set something up.

Columns 1 has great music. Really classic, classy stuff. Fits the atmosphere and aesthetic to a T.

Hello.

>> No.621082

I've noticed I've come to enjoy Panel de Pon more once I knew how to play it. I believe once you get over the initial skill hurdle of a game like this, your enjoyment of the game multiplies several fold. The trick is, how to reliably get over that skill hurdle?

>> No.621152

Play through the single player campaign. If you don't enjoy the game by the end of it, or you don't like the game enough to finish the single player campaign, then there you go.

Super Columns on the Game Gear was quite possibly the most rage inducing vs puzzle game I have ever played. The computer straight up cheats like no tomorrow.

I also like Tetris, but have yet to find a good versus mode to satisfy me.

I've noticed that you never seem to find anyone with your own skill level irl. You're always wrecking someone's shit or getting wrecked, there's no medium. Maybe I just don't know any puzzler-liking people.

This is how I am with RTS's.
I used to play Total Annihilation and Starcraft with friends all the time, and I was the skilled gamer of the group. I could wreck all their shit without even trying, but with other "skilled" folks, I got my ass fried all the time. It was an awkward medium, and I've never found somebody who comes close to being about even with my skill level. They either get demolished or stomp my shit.

PDP's single player vs. mode doesn't offer a challenge until about halfway through vhard, at which point it ramps up so considerably that anyone just playing the game straight through may actually just give up.

...Not that the AI is hard, mind you, but that the curve doesn't exactly make it easy.

You've already posted it, OP.

The amount of hours I've spent on the entire Magical Drop franchise is insane. Third one is the best of the series.
