Piponeer
Profile and Career
Piponeer (ぴぽにあ, born 1995) is a professional player with top-class ability. He also hosts the ``Oiu League'' and launched the ``Puyo Puyo Saikyo League,'' enlivening the Puyo Puyo competitive scene and leading the community. He belongs to SBI e-Sports since February 2022.
His greatest weapon is the so-called ``high-speed chain guy(高速連鎖野郎, Kousoku-Rensa-Yarou)'' tactic of firing a saturated main chain of super high power, and he has a play style that combines technique and physicality to a high degree. Taking advantage of his chain-making skills, he is characterized by his preference for using slightly irregular chains such as Meri-chain and LLR, which use chain tails that are not often seen in other high-ranking players. He is good at not only main chains, but also mid-chain responses and high-speed recovery in mid-games. He is also known for his very high second chain ability.
He is also actively engaged in streaming activities on Youtube. In the broadcast, he shows how he is having fun playing Puyo Puyo, which naturally brings smiles to the viewers' faces.
