Basics =================== The basics of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is really simple. Once a match starts, you have colored gems that will start dropping down on your side of the field. These colors are random, and sometimes you'll get two colors that are the same. The key of the game isn't clearing all your gems. You need to clutter your opponents screen until they can't place anymore gems any where. Once the middle (or where the gems drop down from) is clogged up and they can't destroy anymore gems, then you win. If they clog your screen, then you lose. Let's get started then, shall we? Destroying Gems --------------- In order to destroy Gems, you need to match up a Crash Gem that's of the same color as the ones you intend to destroy. Crash Gems are identified by the sparkling like circle in the middle of a gem. rbbg In that set up, there are two blues next to each other. Let's say that your next pair of gems has a Blue Crash Gem in it. If you want to destroy the two blocks, here's how you do it: r B | rbbg Simply let the Blue Crash Gem drop onto one of the two blue gems already on the field. This will result in those gems being destroyed and "attacking your opponent". The end result will drop the red gem down next to the other red gem. Now that the most basic part is out of the way, let's focus on attacking your opponent. Attacking --------- Now don't take that term literally because you won't be throwing your fists or feet at your opponent. Whenever you destroy any gems, certain gems will be thrown at your opponent. However, the number of gems will depend on how big of a combo you can get. Let's take this example: r G rggy Because only three green gems were destroyed, only a few counter gems will be thrown at your opponent. However, if you do something like this: B R rryrgy gbbbgr gbgrry gggbry The end result will have the red gem be destroyed. The Blue Crash Gem will then drop down and land on the blue gem and destroy any connecting blue gems. Of course, this is also a small combo, but this should give you the idea that building up your combos is what you need to do in order to take your opponent out quickly before they can retaliate themselves. Now let's focus on Counter Gems next. Counter Gems ------------ As mentioned earlier, whenever you get some kind of combo going, you'll throw a different kind of gem at your opponent. These are called Counter Gems. Once they fall onto your opponents (or your) field, you'll notice that they're a bit different. Counter Gems aren't exactly gems yet. They look like gems, but they have a counter on the inside of that ticks down from 5. Whenever you drop a gem to the ground, the timer ticks down by one. Once the timer reaches 0, all of the counter gems will turn into normal colored gems. You can use this to your advantage however, by taking out many gems at once if you have a lot of them stacked or connected with each other. This is a great way to attack your opponent right back. The counter gems that attack you or your opponent will depend on what counter gem set up that character has. If you wish to see which character has which counter gem set up, please visit the characters section of the guide as I have listed them there. Defending --------- This one may confuse some people since you can't really "defend" yourself, but this is probably the best term to use. Sometimes whenever your opponent gets a combo going, you'll notice that some counter gems will drop down once you land your current gems. However, there is a way to reduce that number. Simply make a combo yourself and depending on how big the combo is, you'll either soften how many counter gems are dropped your way, or you may even negate all the counter gems. Planning ahead is key to surviving in this game, so make sure to pay attention to how many counter gems are coming your way and pay attention to your surroundings. Power Gems ---------- These are also key in attacking your opponent. While dropping down gems, you have the chance to create power gems. In order to create a power gem, you have to match up four of the same colored gems into a small 2x2 square. Take this example for instance: byyg ryyg Notice how there are four yellows touching each other? Whenever you do that, they'll turn into this: bPPg rPPg If you land a Crash Gem of the same color as the power block, you'll do a bigger combo than you would if they were just ordinary gems. However, there is a way to make Power Gems even bigger before you decide to destroy them. All you have to do is keep lining up the same colored gems along the top or side of the Power Gems to increase it's height or width. Take these examples: yy bPPg rPPg turns into PP bPPg rPPg OR bPPy rPPy turns into bPPP rPPP Keep in mind that the example before these, I had four yellow gems turning into a power gem, and therefore I used more yellow gems to increase the power gem by two possible sizes. As long as you match the appropriate colored gems, you can make a power gem as large as you want. If you really want to damage your opponent, though, you can combo more than one power gem together. In this example, let's say the first power gem is red, and the second one is a yellow one: gPPb rPPy bbPPry grPPgb Now, let's say that you get two crash gems that are red and yellow. You'd drop them down like this: Y R | gPPb rPPy bbPPry grPPgb Once the red crash gem lands on the red power gem, the red power gem will disappear. After it does, the yellow crash gem will drop down, landing on the yellow power gem which will destroy that one. Of course, it helps to have either bigger or more power gems before trying to perform a devastating power gem combo and chain, but that will give you a basic idea of how to combo them. Diamond Gems ------------ Diamond Gems aren't very common as you play, but whenever they do come, they can either be lifesavers, or they can be completely useless depending on how high your gem stack is. You'll notice when a diamond gem is coming or when it is about to come when you see a sparking diamond along with a gem. Whichever color the diamond gem touches, that colored gem will disappear from your field. For example, let's say that your stack is pretty high, and a diamond gem is coming your way. You can either do one of two things: you can either skim your field and see which gems need to be destroyed to help lower your stack, or you can skim your field and see if you can possibly get any combos if there are any lingering crash gems around. This is a bit easier said than done, though, since if your stack is really high, you might not have enough time to skim around, and if that's the case, I'd go with the former option. Well, that's pretty much all the basics of the game. Use these to take on your opponents in Arcade Mode and in Street Puzzle mode. Happy hunting! =================== 5.)
