Puyo Puyo eSports Makes It Easier To Tell Who’s In The Lead

Sega revealed today that one of the new elements in Puyo Puyo eSports is that it’s now easier to tell who’s in the lead, as well as an introduction to some of the appearing cast. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

This change was made to make the process of playing Puyo Puyo more transparent to the eSports audience, and basically what this entails is that there are new visual and numerical indicators on the side, as well as character graphics on the top. These changes will take effect whenever offsetting garbage Puyo occurs.

Several of the characters were also introduced, as well as their Puyo patterns:

Rulue

Character type: Large chaining

Puyo pattern:

Schezo

Character type: Large chaining with own Puyo

Puyo pattern:

Sig

Character type: Counter during Fever

Puyo pattern:

Maguro

Character type: Harassment

Puyo pattern:

Suketoudara

Puyo Puyo eSports releases in Japan on October 25, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. It’ll be available exclusively as a digital title for 1,990 yen.
