Puyo Puyo Champions

Probably not. This was built for eSports anyways and largely fell flat on that bet, mostly because of how it was handled by SEGA. Due to this, it was largely left abandoned as a side game for a spinoff franchise (Puyo Puyo) to a mostly forgotten original series (Madou Monogatari). Even when it was new, I wasn't getting bites years ago for random matches and I'm sure it's not much better half a decade or more later. I'll defend the Puyo franchise to my dying breath while certainly not being the best at it. That said, you're much better off searching for Puyo Puyo Tetris in any of their releases than you are with this one due to the lack of overall features and player base in comparison to this one if you're looking for something modern day, especially if you know little of the franchise. To think this is satisfactory in comparison to what is out there now is wrong to assume or to recommend, personally. The argument can be made that this is the cheapest way to get into Puyo with an online scene in modern times. That is also wrong - Fightcade exists for zero money and those that wish not to run the emulation method are welcome to grab Puyo Puyo Vs. for the same costless price for a similar competitive experience...and if you're wanting to learn this game, probably the better method considering the communities that surround these venues. As much as I would -like- to recommend a Puyo game to ANYONE under ANY circumstance and hope they have the time to play it with me once in a while...it certainly wouldn't ever be this particular title due to the weird space it fits in unless we're doing so on a whim. Even then, your money is better spent on other titles in the franchise.
