12:12 Fun fact!: This is an actual strategy called "Harassment"; when you use smaller chains to try and block off an opponents trigger. This is also used to reduce the potential damage of the opponent (by filling the opponents board with garbage instead of normal puyos), getting the opponent to set off their main chain early, or (as shown) making them top out.

the core ai is the most difficult ai in any modern puyo game, the most difficult ai core version is puyo puyo esports' or puyo puyo chronicle's, i managed to get one of them doing a 12 chain also they can quick drop if enabled
From what I can tell about Puyo lore, Carbuncle was the Devil's pet before he got bored and allowed Arle to liberate him. So I'm not surprised he has devilishly hard AI. Oh, and the act of creating Puyo chains and popping them recharges your MP in the Puyo universe, letting you cast spells. So not only is he a smart little bastard, he's charging up his Ultima or his Doombolts or his whatever spells to actually kill you with his intelligence too
@TARINunit9 That's not how it happened. In Madou 2, Arle discovered the legend of the jewel on Carbuncle’s forehead and when se encountered Satan and said this to him, he thought Arle was going to kill his pet, so they battled each other (Arle was bleeding from her eye in the PC98 version). After Arle’s victory, she found Carbuncle and their friendship began.
I never actually knew that carby was cheating or using hacks. He should be banned. Also I remember when git was trying to voice the puyo characters lol What a good time.
Raffine's had it rough. It's not just her PPF1 route having some of the toughest AI opponents, but she's also been pushed more and more to the sidelines as later Puyo games added more main characters that are more suited to the role than her in terms of personality. And as the games keep moving further and further away from the Fever world, Raffine will continue to have less things to do with the plot until she's finally benched alongside Lidelle. Oh, la-ti-da :(
It sucks, cuz Raffina is my favorite Puyo char. And yet they just keep introducing MORE characters into the Puyo world, so they'll inevitably each get less and less screentime.
Several Puyo games later, said secret thing has still yet to be revealed while Sega hopes to distract us by constantly changing locales and adding more worlds with every game.
@@BBHood217 not a new thing to this franchise well it’s predecessor since their like a fuck ton of madou monogatarias also shin madou monogataria has the puyo puyo universe be created from Arle’s soul after every else but satan and carbuncle died to the creator
Puyo puyo is actually based on another series of dungeon crawler called Madou Monogatari, and- Yeah, that's where all the shock comes from. Don't expect that in a puyo puyo game.
Puyo puyo sun? That story in the English translation has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while. Especially sczheos story of him being *weird*
"Ms. Accord is probably the reason why caning in schools got outlawed" I was literally threatened to be caned while in Primary School. If caning is illegal in your part of the world, I don't know what my government was thinking.
Wow. This didn't dissapoint at all! It reminds me when I first watched you in your analysis of von Karma EDIT: The only thing we have on AI's is that most of them only do one thing amd one thing only. The thing is that 5 of them can do better than a human with flawless communication.
You can also unlock Carbuncle as a secret boss in Puyo Sun on Arle's story, however it requires you to continue 20+ times so in my opinion, it's just better to go with the Schezo story requirement.
Normally in harahara, you can only play as raffine. But did you know, in the DS version, you can actually play through harahara with a random set of characters by inputting a bug? and it's easy to do it Only in the DS version... Go into free play mode first. Then on the character select screen, choose (!) for both you and the CPU to start the game. Once you started the match, quit and go back to the main screen. Then start a new game for harahara. You can now proceed to play the game as a randomly selected characters for each stage. This only affects Harahara and not the easy/normal modes Nothing much happens, except those randomly selected characters will have raffine's win quotes.
Back when I played this game a lot I would try to win against Popoi and Carbuncle at once with one CPU at my side. Beating them is one of my biggest gaming achievements. :) Agree with you that Puyo Pop Fever is the best game in the series. Love how the characters are written and it's the best game to get into the series (With fever mode it's easier to recover from big attacks). Hope Sega will re-release this one and it's sequel sometime in the future considering how well the series is doing these last few years.
Something about the AI in puzzle games tends to be very nasty at the highest levels. Take a look at how the Red Virus plays in Tetris & Dr. Mario for the SNES. It drops its capsules at maximum speed all the time, and pretty much never slows down unless there's no good place to put one. The AI in the Puzzle League games is no slouch at the highest levels either, though it's not perfect. Matches against Carbuncle kinda remind me of that: either you get the AI to screw up and lose within the first 30 seconds or you're in for a world of hurt. I think that Carbuncle might top these though, because the odds are stacked against you in Puyo Pop Fever (you have 5 colors on your board, he has only 4.)
I always disliked that with the Puzzle League AI. You fight your way to the end, and then you either win immediately because they self-destructed, or you... don't. I want to be able to have a good, long fight there instead of lucking out dammit.
@@rroadagain2810 I think your best bet is to find a human opponent that matches up well with you. My brother and I have had Tetris Attack rounds that have lasted almost an HOUR.
The AI in Panel de pon of the Gamecube Nintendo Puzzle Collection is harder. I like that. I tried playing the 2p against the CPU in Tetris Attack and the level only goes to seven in that.
@@DoctorNovakaine Are there still people who play the dolphin emulator version of Panel de pon online with netplay still? I like how they brought the little battle sprites back like the original panel de pon.
Jeez! I can understand Sun's conditions for fighting Carbuncle, but what's up with Fever's? 7:41 is like some kind of ritual or something. There's no way to fight him by mistake. You know what you're doing, and bringing him to our dimension to defeat him once and for all.
Puyo Puyo content is always nice! I used to play this game a lot as a child, and thinking about it now, I was in my peak performance... I somehow kept up with the pace of Accord/Popoi/Carbuncle at Very Hard difficultly. As an adult, I can't even try to go thru the entire Very Hard adventure!
There's been a lot of testing in the Starcraft community lately about Alphastar, a new AI who can compete at professional levels. While previous AI players had to be augmented by giving them unfair advantages like extra resources, this one wins legitimately with terrific micromanagement of individual units. I don't know if Carbuncle can be considered the same since he either predicts what pieces he'll get ahead of time or much like AI in many Yu Gi Oh games, will always get the Puyo/card they want. Or maybe they were just trying to emulate the animes that way. If you can, try playing Tetris Attack's story mode. Partway through, it throws you into a 'hopeless boss fight' against Bowser with a 'perfect' AI meant to humble you, but I've always wanted to see someone beat it (not sure if difficulty setting affects it, Very Hard mode is tough enough with the fights you're supposed to win).
@@marketplierr XD The recreation of a human player will not be truly complete until you program Alphastar/Alphazero to randomly hurl crude/l33t insults.
@@WhiteFangofWar if you think the bowser fight was hard then you never played panel de pon, basically panel de pon was the original tetris attack the game was themed around original anime girls characters and of course with a original plot when the game got ported to english people, they though people would not like it and changed everything to be yoshi island theme whoever there is also other change in panel de pon the ais are WAY HARDER oh and as a extra, it have a extra fight compared to tetris attack and yes that extra fight is thousand of times harder than the bowser fight in tetris attack.
7:32 - 7:35 Never thought I’d see *that* out of Professor Accord. 😂 11:32 You’d be surprised how many Raffina fans there are, if you look hard enough, especially amongst those who’ve only played Puyo Puyo Tetris.
I would argue Carbuncle’s strategy in Sun of repeatedly doing low chains is a better strategy than large ones. You get the game’s sun puyo for offsetting garbage while there’s some in your queue, so it maximizes the amount he can get. The sun puyos also increase damage, dealing more damage the later into the chain they’re cleared so it’s better for him to gain a backlog of sun puyos and then use them in his 1 chains to deal larger amounts of damage fast. Also I think part of the reason he’s so hard in Fever is that you play with 5 colors and he plays with 4. Yes really. In Sun you played with 5 and he played with 3.
Now, there's this guy named Wumbotize... Who beat a machine designed to fucking destroy everyone in Puyo Puyo Tetris, has gotten the max amount of points in PPT MANY times, and even then his strong is Tetris. But I see him being on this rabbit's level.
...can I get THIS Carbuncle as a summon? Mass reflect is nice and all but *holy shit* Edit: Just like Rivals AC, you had to win by exploiting an AI flaw (putting a few garbage puyos in the middle of his combo)
"We should be thankful that computers allow us to continue existing, because if there really was a war between humans and machines, I don't fancy our chances at all." Who knows, maybe we ARE in a silent war already xD
oooh they're the same as Popoitto! I still have the game for playstation, no idea where my parents found it, but I loved it so much (even if you can't save, kinda annoying)
2:00 that is only half true in games that timing is very important AI will have a massive advantage but in games that don't even the best AIs cannot beat us (usually)
Fun fact abouy Puyo Puyo fever for the DS: Changing the language to Japanese actually adds extra diffculty. This is seen with certain characters like Raffina, Klug, Arle, Amite, and Ocean Prince.
@@nuggetpotato5471 My personal experience. Granted, take it with a grain of salt. But test it with the characters said above and their drop speed is actually lowered. I do THINK there's a video. But I have no source. So feel free to prove me wrong.
Oh god Carbuncle.... still have PTSD flashbacks of facing him in the DS version. I actually ended up doing a few two chains, then building a 3 chain and trying to time the drop for when his stack was just at the top of the screen to snipe kill him.
I don't think I could ever play these games, keeping track of all that stuff on screen at once that quickly is something I would need an entire second brain to do.
I wouldn't call it 'smart' if it cheats. The computer knowing when your sleep is going to wear off and using the next sleep move on the same turn is pretty BS.
And so, the last words the pervert in white ever heard before heatstroke overwhelmed him were "goo goo goo", while the last words Rulue's French-speaking ripoff ever heard under similar circumstances were "ta-da!" Arle Nadja wondered if this had anything to do with the fact that Carby belonged to the Dark Prince once, and marveled that her pet was using just 1% of his true power to take down these supposedly unbeatable opponents. But she had little time to ponder all this...some group known as Warner Bros. was coming to Primp Town soon, and Carby's next opponent was a man named Shaggy, who was also supposedly secretly a god capable of destroying worlds. She had to get Carby ready... >>"We've seen characters who can destroy anything in one hit, bosses with attacks that are extremely difficult to avoid..." >>>doesn't show Tabuu 2:38: This theme song for the revival of Seinfeld sounds interesting...

I get Kirby vibes from him. He's cute, and to someone unfamiliar with Puyo lore, like me, he would look pretty harmless. Then you go against him and it just falls apart from there. Like, did this guy take notes from Kirby or something?
Carbuncle makes me want to throw it down the stairs, hit it with an HP attack, then use a better Carbuncle to reduce its Bravery to 0 before my Bravery starts recovering.
I don't have any experience with the Puyo Puyo series outside of Puyo Puyo Tetris and the original SNES game, so it's cool to see some of the other games in the franchise like this!
The first Puyo game I ever set my eyes on was 20th anniversary. I got used to the voice acting there. I heard the English voice acting for Puyo Puyo Tetris. I enjoyed it. But the one of Fever. I didn’t have high expectations. It actually exceeded my expectations. But I personally didn’t enjoy Carbuncle’s “Ta-Da!” Over his original “Gu-gu!” Although, I personally really like Accord’s voice a lot. But that’s one dang terrifying of a teacher, a puppet, and a... thing. Yeah, I don’t remember Carbuncle ever being specified as anything... please refresh my memory, if there is a classification.
I tried playing a very hard run of puyo pop fever on a rom with only winning after continuing on specific numbers like the video said and got to carbungle and it took me about 5 hours of countless atempts to finally beat him but i beat him by out chaining him. Curious about how many attempts this took in the video to beat carbungle on very hard.
Honorable mention would be Popoi. He is already a complete bastard and I feel like the AI cheats because he always knows exactly where to place everything to instantly build at least a 5-chain. Carbuncle somehow manages to be worse.

Puyo Puyo content is always nice! I used to play this game a lot as a child, and thinking about it now, I was in my peak performance... I somehow kept up with the pace of Accord/Popoi/Carbuncle at Very Hard difficultly. As an adult, I can't even try to go thru the entire Very Hard adventure!
A fighting game series that will kick your ass with difficult bosses is definitely The King of Fighters games (especially 2002 UM)
2:05 Fighting games in a nutshell.
There's been a lot of testing in the Starcraft community lately about Alphastar, a new AI who can compete at professional levels. While previous AI players had to be augmented by giving them unfair advantages like extra resources, this one wins legitimately with terrific micromanagement of individual units. I don't know if Carbuncle can be considered the same since he either predicts what pieces he'll get ahead of time or much like AI in many Yu Gi Oh games, will always get the Puyo/card they want. Or maybe they were just trying to emulate the animes that way.
If you can, try playing Tetris Attack's story mode. Partway through, it throws you into a 'hopeless boss fight' against Bowser with a 'perfect' AI meant to humble you, but I've always wanted to see someone beat it (not sure if difficulty setting affects it, Very Hard mode is tough enough with the fights you're supposed to win).
Alphastar and alphazero are op pls nerf
@@marketplierr XD The recreation of a human player will not be truly complete until you program Alphastar/Alphazero to randomly hurl crude/l33t insults.
@@WhiteFangofWar if you think the bowser fight was hard then you never played panel de pon, basically panel de pon was the original tetris attack the game was themed around original anime girls characters and of course with a original plot when the game got ported to english people, they though people would not like it and changed everything to be yoshi island theme whoever there is also other change in panel de pon the ais are WAY HARDER oh and as a extra, it have a extra fight compared to tetris attack and yes that extra fight is thousand of times harder than the bowser fight in tetris attack.
Carbuncle is like that one joke character in a game that has universe-destroying abilities for whatever reason.
I can now tell you carbuncle will one day rule over primp town.
True, true.

Puyo? Well this is a surprise, and a welcome one at that
7:32 - 7:35 Never thought I’d see *that* out of Professor Accord. 😂
11:32 You’d be surprised how many Raffina fans there are, if you look hard enough, especially amongst those who’ve only played Puyo Puyo Tetris.
Ms. Accord is... a very mysterious person.
(A reference to Ms. Accord's line in 20th Anniversary: "The Carbuncle is... a very mysterious creature.")
Mortal Kombat Trilogy? Instant like
I would argue Carbuncle’s strategy in Sun of repeatedly doing low chains is a better strategy than large ones. You get the game’s sun puyo for offsetting garbage while there’s some in your queue, so it maximizes the amount he can get. The sun puyos also increase damage, dealing more damage the later into the chain they’re cleared so it’s better for him to gain a backlog of sun puyos and then use them in his 1 chains to deal larger amounts of damage fast.
Also I think part of the reason he’s so hard in Fever is that you play with 5 colors and he plays with 4. Yes really. In Sun you played with 5 and he played with 3.
Now, there's this guy named Wumbotize...
Who beat a machine designed to fucking destroy everyone in Puyo Puyo Tetris, has gotten the max amount of points in PPT MANY times, and even then his strong is Tetris.
But I see him being on this rabbit's level.
truly awesome, who here is a puyo fan?
Puyo. Puyo. 2.
I know you already did a video on that but imo it's harder than fever.
I don't even know how to make longer chains lmao
This whole game also qualifies for Leave My Ears Alone, good god
ua-cam.com/video/15OXO8cVSu4/v-deo.html
...can I get THIS Carbuncle as a summon?
Mass reflect is nice and all but *holy shit*
Edit: Just like Rivals AC, you had to win by exploiting an AI flaw (putting a few garbage puyos in the middle of his combo)
The best part of the carbuncle battle is the fact of the music playing is a speeded-up version from first floor of puyo puyo 2
This series is my fav
"We should be thankful that computers allow us to continue existing, because if there really was a war between humans and machines, I don't fancy our chances at all."
Who knows, maybe we ARE in a silent war already xD
It's explainable since "Has Bean" is the main protagonist in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
oooh they're the same as Popoitto! I still have the game for playstation, no idea where my parents found it, but I loved it so much (even if you can't save, kinda annoying)
So the hardest fight in the game isn't Satan himself, but a Carbuncle? Curse these cutesy games...
Carbuncle used to be Satan's pet, which explains a lot.
@@robertanderson9447 amd he can shoot an deadly beam from his forehead.
Even dark price was afraid to face him because of this beam
@@verarodrigues4090 Really? (Was it confirmed? (Like, in the Madou media?))
2:00 that is only half true
in games that timing is very important AI will have a massive advantage
but in games that don't even the best AIs cannot beat us (usually)
When he say'd "Ta-Da" i felt that
Thanks for giving me an Idea of a ds game i can play
Fun fact abouy Puyo Puyo fever for the DS:
Changing the language to Japanese actually adds extra diffculty.
This is seen with certain characters like Raffina, Klug, Arle, Amite, and Ocean Prince.
If I may ask, what's your source?
@@nuggetpotato5471 My personal experience. Granted, take it with a grain of salt. But test it with the characters said above and their drop speed is actually lowered. I do THINK there's a video. But I have no source. So feel free to prove me wrong.
@@ZZelto guess I'll try it at some point
@@ZZelto Raffina 's drop speed seems to be the same on both languages
Oh god Carbuncle.... still have PTSD flashbacks of facing him in the DS version. I actually ended up doing a few two chains, then building a 3 chain and trying to time the drop for when his stack was just at the top of the screen to snipe kill him.
I don't think I could ever play these games, keeping track of all that stuff on screen at once that quickly is something I would need an entire second brain to do.
has he played the japanese snes super puyo puyo 2 it makes me so mad it is hard
If you didn't mention Gen 1 AI in Pokemon should've. Sure it can be really dumb, but it can also be incerdibly smart.
If we are talking pokemon ai, then the battle tree ai is probably the most devilish
@@someguy764 Oh yes.
ah yes , gen 1 AI. The only AI in the pokemon series that would spam agility against a poison / fighting type pokemon because "it's super effective"
@@katuron9245 Such wisdom from the cutest Pokemon alive.
I wouldn't call it 'smart' if it cheats. The computer knowing when your sleep is going to wear off and using the next sleep move on the same turn is pretty BS.
And so, the last words the pervert in white ever heard before heatstroke overwhelmed him were "goo goo goo", while the last words Rulue's French-speaking ripoff ever heard under similar circumstances were "ta-da!" Arle Nadja wondered if this had anything to do with the fact that Carby belonged to the Dark Prince once, and marveled that her pet was using just 1% of his true power to take down these supposedly unbeatable opponents. But she had little time to ponder all this...some group known as Warner Bros. was coming to Primp Town soon, and Carby's next opponent was a man named Shaggy, who was also supposedly secretly a god capable of destroying worlds. She had to get Carby ready...

2:38: This theme song for the revival of Seinfeld sounds interesting...
" *L A R G O. A N D A N T E .* " -Ms. Accord, the self-demonstrating example, 2004
oh dude, Raffine used to be my favorite. It's been more than ten years and I still suck at this game tho
I never saw Raffina as a bitchy tsundere.
I guess that makes two of us~
Found out where that puyo puyo decapitation image is from, noice.
I get Kirby vibes from him. He's cute, and to someone unfamiliar with Puyo lore, like me, he would look pretty harmless.
Then you go against him and it just falls apart from there.
Like, did this guy take notes from Kirby or something?
He somewhat has similar powers to kirby he ate a whole store and gulp it down to nothing that isn't a joke by the way 😅
Of course compile's mascot had to be META...
I can't believe I'm getting into puyo puyo right now after this video
Carbuncle makes me want to throw it down the stairs, hit it with an HP attack, then use a better Carbuncle to reduce its Bravery to 0 before my Bravery starts recovering.
Yukari : ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT ?
The secret final boss of the Asian difficulty setting
I don't have any experience with the Puyo Puyo series outside of Puyo Puyo Tetris and the original SNES game, so it's cool to see some of the other games in the franchise like this!
Genesis*. Puyo Puyo debuted on the Genesis. (Only its competitive puzzle game, because singleplayer modes debuted in Puyo Puyo for MSX2 and Famicom)
The first Puyo game I ever set my eyes on was 20th anniversary. I got used to the voice acting there. I heard the English voice acting for Puyo Puyo Tetris. I enjoyed it.
But the one of Fever. I didn’t have high expectations. It actually exceeded my expectations. But I personally didn’t enjoy Carbuncle’s “Ta-Da!” Over his original “Gu-gu!” Although, I personally really like Accord’s voice a lot.
But that’s one dang terrifying of a teacher, a puppet, and a... thing. Yeah, I don’t remember Carbuncle ever being specified as anything... please refresh my memory, if there is a classification.
Who is this gift: good thing that computers allow humans to keep existing
Me: if fairly sure you just jynxed us
Oh yes, I missed the "Gu's" 14:26
I tried playing a very hard run of puyo pop fever on a rom with only winning after continuing on specific numbers like the video said and got to carbungle and it took me about 5 hours of countless atempts to finally beat him but i beat him by out chaining him. Curious about how many attempts this took in the video to beat carbungle on very hard.
Accord commits amnesia to look innocent
Carbuncle: The god of Puyo Puyo Sun and Fever.
Imagine facing Arle in this game. Maybe she's got a Praetor Suit after kicking Ma'Oh's teeth in.
Honorable mention would be Popoi. He is already a complete bastard and I feel like the AI cheats because he always knows exactly where to place everything to instantly build at least a 5-chain. Carbuncle somehow manages to be worse.
3:20 Which game is this picture from? I gotta know now
Madou Monogatari II.
@@whoisthisgit thanks
I wonder why would they put such brutal ai in a puzzle game?
It's a puzzle game, natural.
Because that's where they can get away with it.
Don't get me wrong, but Carbuncle is arguably the toughest opponent you'll ever face in Puyo Puyo Fever
