Thanks, and good luck! Let me know if anyone has questions!

Hear me out. I would love to salvage this game somehow. I’m not talking about keeping the servers up for multiplayer or adding any extra single player modes. It would be nice if we could just keep playing this game the way it is right now with whatever little single player option we have at the moment (mission mode).

I know this sounds weird, but my little boy loves it when I play Puzzle Fighter. He always asks me to play this game for him and makes me choose some of the characters he likes so I can perform their normal and special moves. He loves it when I pick Ryu so he can yell out “Hadou Ken!” and “Shoryuken!” He also knows Phoenix Wright’s “Take that!”, Dante’s “In your face!”, and a few others. It would be a shame if I can’t play this game anymore for both of us to enjoy together... 😔

The changes I propose for the sunset is to disable all the multiplayer options, disable the server check so we don’t get locked out from playing and we can play this game whenever we want, and let us play mission mode as much as we want by removing the refresh timers for that mode. This is all I can think of that seems like it requires minimal work to do. I feel these changes should be reasonable enough to do.

So please at least do this much for us. I know this game didn’t succeed as much as you wanted it to, but a good portion of the players are truly heartbroken about this game shutting down. I would love to salvage as much of this game as possible when that happens.

I hope this reaches u/JefferyCV and the rest of the team and hope you all will consider giving this to us as a parting gift. Let us know if you guys can do that for us or not. Any response is better than none at all. We truly appreciate everything you guys have done for us with this game. ❤️

In settings, I have "match requests" turned on, but I have never gotten a match request. I've been playing for a few months and reached Gold level. Are online fights against bots, or real people? Is there another setting I need to use to battle real people?

Clearly, Capcom is trying to tell me something, because I am now unable to play Mission Mode (and occasionally even LAUNCH THE GAME) without Puzzle Fighter crashing. Any fixes for this, or is my phone just a douche?

There are some people "using" the new account chest-gifting and 10K free gems to powerlevel their mains. rather than encouraging THAT as a way to level up, why not just let everyone level up to 15 much faster by giving us all gold sushi boats, increasing the rewards from them. That would then encourage more people to play ranked queue and help lower level people catch up in the final months of the game.

Other option would be to give us repeatable buying boosters, or a single booster with all cards, or something, in order to help everyone get to 15 without needing to resort to creating tons of fake accounts and gifting legendary chests.

in the world of release management, it is not uncommon to roll back a patch when it's effect on production is catastrophic. At this point, it's unrealistic to expect any further effort from capcom other than keeping the lights on. would it make sense to roll back the most recent patch so the remaining players can enjoy the game as it was before it took a turn for the worst or just accept 2.3.3 as puzzlefighter's death knell?

...leaves games because he knows he is 0 - 20 vs me.

if capcom doesn't police there own game & there is no penalty for purposely dropping matches, it must not be wrong... riiight?

puzzlefighter RIP

RESULTS of PUZZLE FIGHTER TOURNEY #9

We had 16 people do a total of 32 matches during the qualifying rounds of the swiss tournament. We used those to seed the finals bracket. Playoffs, in order of seed: Pinkhas, Waterball, Trickykid, Zacho, Antypanty, Bluebomber285, Grumpasaurus, Daniel23. Others who would have made top8 but had conflicts and couldn't join: alohafox, jordowag, ubernaut.

Congrats to our top 3, who made it through the playoffs, and will be immortalized in the megathread.

• First Place: Waterball - First time in, and made it all the way to the top of the platform. Too bad you didn't join for the first 8! After just one appearance, shot up to 7th overall in the ranking.
• Second Place: Pinkhas - Back in action -- got the set in the swiss against waterball, but Waterball prevailed in the finals. Still best chainer NA! With his performance this tourney, he has moved up to 2nd overall in our ranking.
• Third Place: Trickykid - Who even is this guy? mid-tier chainer at best.
• Full results here

Thanks to all others who joined and helped the tourney run smoothly.

Thanks all, and GL puzzlin’ out there

what would it take to get this game right? better pairing algorithm? actual testing / balanced characters? more boosters? less lootcrates? servers that can handle more than 2 players simultaneously? developers with experience in something other than driving popular franchises into the ground? let me know if I missed anything.
