Make it possible to get A+ ranks in some other way

[Pascalbatronic]

I am a person who has never played any of the Puyo-Puyo games;
Along with that, I'm a person who likes to pass games 100% and get the highest ranks wherever possible.
In your game, the requirement for an A+ rank is to break a record time. However, to do this, you need to have very good Puyo-Puyo skills, and be able to line up items so that when one chain is destroyed, it cascades down and destroys several more chains. I don't have those skills, and like any new Tetris or Puyo-Puyo player, it would take me quite a while to figure out where and how to put each block. It takes a long time to become a pro and automate every block to get the best result. Which I haven't done, so I just can't physically get A+ ranks. I just don't have enough time to think and the skills to get big combos and lots of points along with it.
But wait - there are a lot of traps in your game! How about giving A+ ranks also for completing levels without dying or losing clones? That would be a great solution, because even for newcomers who have never played Puyo-Puyo, it looks possible! And you've done it before - for Super Meat Boy Forever, where you could get A+ rank for running without deaths! So how about doing it here as well? I really wish you'd do that, otherwise I and other new players would only have to get A+ ranks from YouTube guides, which isn't very fun.

That's what happens, you politely describe the problem, offer a solution, but in the end you are just called a fool. I repeat: to learn to do something quickly, you must do it a lot. You need special skills. And for these skills you need to go to the usual Puy-Puyo, where there are no traps, and play it a lot, in order to learn how to put blocks in the right places as soon as you see them. If you're such a super genius, I'm happy for you. And I’m just physically incapable of this, and many people are too, it’s just that no one cares about A + ranks.

My sugeestion would be to turn off checkpoints. Having to redo stages adds to time and you dont get to redo invul across phases on a retry. Otherwise you may have to just improve or let this 100% go.

I may go back and get the remaining A+s later, but some of thdm are suoer difficult, even if you know how to place blocks.

There are videos online that can teach you how to stack effectively, and puyo mexus has some build forms and tips that can help you out here.

It's just that the idea of ​​putting a timer into a puzzle seemed silly to me since the demo, going through platforming levels for a while is fun, but not trying to please the "think faster and more efficiently!" that the game tells you. Again, without the right skills, trying to get an A+ is useless. I planned to go through all the levels on A + with the passage and not bother, but damn it, I would still prefer to get bother if this moment were made a little friendlier. Well, okay, as it is. Anyway, the game without A+ ranks is kind of simple and boring, only a little angry having to start with saving after each death, it slows down the pace.

The irony is, making anything past a 2-chain is usually a hindrance to getting A+ rank, since you won't be able to skip phases in a stage even with a 5+ chain. Don't need to be a puyo expert to A+ anything in this. Simple 1-2 chains are enough.
