But why do I suck so much? What am I doing wrong?

Make huge gems of the same color...and then explode them with the bombs. That's really how I started, and how I still play...and I do pretty well. You'll learn to modify your strategy and configurations for maximum combo-age.

I was able to do that on easy and normal, but you hardly ever get a chance to do that on hard. Or maybe I'm just not fast enough?

Btw, this and Puyo Pop are now my two favorite puzzle games. Why isn't Puyo Pop on Live?! :maf

Well, at first try to do quick small gems, I guess. You'll get a hang of balancing making huge gems and getting small quick explosions. But yeah, try to be quick. I think that's where I beat a lot of people.

Oh ok. Did you get the achievement for the 5 or 7 chain? I can't get more than 3 right now. :P

Only the 5. demi got the 7. :bow

I really can't be bothered to keep trying to get it. I rather just play matches against people if I'm going to play at all.

360 owners are notorious for that. I guess I fell into the same habit. I'm gonna see what happens when I try right now.

I know I live outside the U.S., but I can NEVER find games in Puzzle Fighter.  I even loaded up Neowave for Xbox 1 and found a match yesterday!  Puzzle Fighter?  NOPE.

Got a third match and played two close games...but lost. The people still playing I bet are fucking insane.

BTW, I always create the match.

fuck that dropped my rating so much i guess i'm rusty  :-\
