Puyo Puyo 2, formerly known as Puyo Puyo Tsu (ぷよぷよ通) (Also known as Puyo Puyo Tsuu and commonly stylized as Puyo Puyo TSU) is the sequel to Puyo Puyo, developed by Compile in 1994. The game's title is a pun based on the similarity between the pronunciation of the Kanji tsu (meaning "expert") and the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "two." Due to its highly acclaimed success, it became the most predominant game of the series. Though with many of its rules being experimental, the ability of Sousai (相殺, sōsai, the damage offset rule) and Rensa Sibari (連鎖縛り, rensa shibari, a custom rule that causes chains with fewer than a set number of steps to score nothing and to send no garbage) became a top hit immediately, thus creating longer matches for better gameplay. Also due to its successes, it became the most widely known multiplatform game in Japan, appearing in the Arcade, on major domestic consoles, on major handhelds, on the NEC PC-9800 series, on the PC, and on others. As you can see, this is what my hypothetical English dub for Puyo Puyo 2 would look like, although it'll be known as "Puyo Pop 2". This'll work with Puyo Puyo CD Tsu on the PC Engine CD, the Sega Saturn version, Puyo Puyo Tsu Ketteiban on the PlayStation, and Puyo Puyo Tsu Perfect Set on the PlayStation 2 since they have voiceover work.
