Puyo Tetris any% Guide

This is a guide for any%, detailing general guidelines for the Versus modes and specific score requirements for maximum efficiency in the solo trials and Big Bang.

---

Below are the general guidelines for the VS stages and Tiny Trial, aside from Big Bang (those have points requirements and are given further down).

**Versus:**

- Tetris vs Puyo: Go for a double Perfect Clear, finish with extra if needed.
- Tetris vs Tetris: Go for a double PC.
- Puyo vs Puyo: Go for a 3-triple, 4-double or a 5. (Triple/double means clearing 3/2 groups at the same time for the last link.) In later stages, you can go for just a 4 (or a powerful 3) as the AIs will have more of their board filled.

**Puyo vs Tetris:** Go for a 6 chain or a strong 5, follow up as required.

**Tiny Trial:** The trick to levelling up in these stages is to clear groups of 5 on separate pieces drops (clearing two groups at once doesn't work, and chains don't help).

**Swap:** Reset until you get the mode that you are more comfortable with, though ideally you can do both.

- For Tetris: Double PC is ideal but risky, especially with limited previews. You may simply want to T-Spin to win.
- For Puyo: Play it the same way as Versus mode Puyo vs Puyo.

**Party:** lol break time, just don't forget to get some points before you get a snack or something.

**Fusion:** Hard to determine exactly how many chains you need because power can vary, but you'll want about 3 and a half rocks of garbage sent to the opponent. Make sure that your chain concludes *after* the AI places down their mino set (or rather, that they receive the garbage with their last mino), or a few pieces before they reach a mino set; otherwise they'll waste time making their minos sink through the garbage. (Note that there's some delay to garbage falling after your chain concludes; therefore, having your chain resolve a little before the opponent has finished placing their second-to-last mino is also fine.)

The guidelines below will help you with solo challenge stages (Endless, Ultra, Marathon, Fever) along with Big Bang. There's a couple of alternatives for certain stages, which are indented accordingly.
For the Fever stages, I've included all of the scenarios that should occur for a good run - accounting for if the game doesn't grant an AC at the start, and such. For cases where only "clear" is stated, you should *only* clear; getting an AC wastes time (unless it's the final clear; then you can do whatever you want).
For Big Bang stages with a +, you'll need the difference between you and the AI's score to be at least that amount, rather than a set amount.

**Key:**

- TSS = T-Spin Single
- TSD = T-Spin Double
- TST = T-Spin Triple
- TS0 = T-Spin... Zero? No lines need to be cleared
- ndouble = Having the last link of the n chain being two sets of colours at the same time; (4+5) means that that final link must include a set of 4 and a set of 5 (at least).
- AC = All Clear

**Stage Guidelines:**

- 1-4 (Tetris 1.5k): TSD (remaining pts from top out)
- 1-6 (Tetris 3k): TSD
- 2-4 (Puyo 5k): 2double (4+5)
- 2-5 (Fever 10k): Clear
- 3-1 (vs Ringo): 65.1k
- 3-2 (Tetris 1.5k): TS0
- 3-3 (Fever 70k): AC + Clear /// *OR* /// Clear + Clear (bulky)
- 3-4 (vs Ess): +9k
- 3-7 (vs O): 45k (AC + bulky 11 chain)
- 3-8 (Puyo 10k): 2double (4+5)
- 3-9 (Tetris 10k): TSS + TSD
- 4-2 (Tetris 15k): TSD + TSD
- 4-4 (Puyo 15k): 2double
- 4-9 (Tetris 15k): TSS + TSD
- 5-1 (vs Suketoudara): +30k
- 5-3 (Puyo 80k): 4double (bulky) /// *OR* /// 5 (slight bulk)
- 5-5 (Tetris 4k): TSS / Triple
- 5-6 (Fever 500k): AC + Clear + Clear /// *OR* /// Clear + AC + Clear+1
- 5-7 (vs Draco): +40k
- 6-6 (Tetris 25k): TSD + TST /// *OR* /// TSD + TSD + Single
- 6-9 (vs Zed): +52k
- 7-3 (Fever 700k): ACx2 + Clear+1 /// *OR* /// AC + Clearx3 /// *OR* /// Clear + AC + Clearx2
- 7-5 (Tetris 20k): TSD + TSD
- 7-7 (Puyo 75k): 4double /// *OR* /// 5 chain

Note: Remember to carefully check what stage you are on; you don't want to be going for points in a Sprint stage.

Really really bad guide on how to run PPT any%

This should help some newer players that want to optimize runs but I doubt it would do much at all for decent players. 

It kind of a work in progress but it contains most of the important info like minimal stuff you can do to beat a level.
