If the arcade version is the same, we can accept it!

It's definitely a good idea! We'd love to introduce score attack modes but unfortunately it's actually against SRC policy to host such boards since it's not "directly" in the spirit of speedrunning. If you are interested in runs with a similar basis though, we do have the Puyo Puyo Champions board! PPC has a "Time Challenge" mode where you try to reach a target score as fast as possible, so it constitutes as a speedrun. Currently it's pretty quiet, and so the only thing we have set up there is the 10 million score challenge - we can definitely get the lower score thresholds set up if there's interest though! (We also have the "transition challenge" board if you have an interest in using different chaining techniques, I'd say it's very worth checking out too!)

Right? It's so awesome to see the spark in activity here! Fusion definitely is one of those strange modes that needs extra practice to get down, but it's a fun one. Good luck to both of you!!

That's awesome! And yep, simply playing through the Adventure mode will get you familiar with all of the modes in the run. The story is also an amazing experience, hahaha. Oh and by the way! I got around to finishing the guide so that's also up and available for any%ing now.

Hi there! For the purposes of speedrunning, you'll want to be learning Perfect Clear setups in order to quickly finish stages where you're playing Tetris. As for Puyo, you'll need to learn how to make up to 6~7 chains. Hopefully these specific goals will help you get started with running the game. If you'd like any more help, feel free to let me know. (On that note, I should probably find some time to put up a guide for running the whole game... this is a good reminder.) Good luck!!
