POKKEN

nb4 using Gengar's ultra is banned
Its basically a grab, all you gotta do is jump.
 
So, you are complaining that a game that was never meant to be a fighting game, isn't a fighting game?

Wow, that is on another level.

game looks fun and the roster is nice, is all i need really.
If it was never meant to be, then they shouldn't have started out by advertising it as Tekken originally. That first trailer had me so excited, and then...

They always made the advertisement showing what to be expected, harada very early said it wouldn't be a deep fighting game. You can't blame them for your lack of information.

Wait,
Pokken isn't a fighting game? Did I miss something?
Because it definitely looks like a fighting game, certainly not like Tekken but more like, Naruto or J-Stars or something.
 
It's as much a fighting game as ash Bros is; definitely fighting but is more of an action versus than a traditional fighter.

Harada also mentioned its not like Tekken or Soul Calibur, and is aimed more toward Pokemon fans rather than the FGC.
 
Aimed at Pokemon fans.

That's why we've got Gardevoir and Braixen.
 
It has combos, sidesteps and chains

It's a fighting game. it may not be the traditional sense you want or look for but it's there oh no genres are dumb

EDIT: wait what the hell missingno you didn't even make any of the game what are you even COMPLAINING about holy shit haha.

Damn.
Is that super Chandelure killing the opponent and dragging their soul to the afterlife?
Because,
I don't know if that's a legal move, in Pokemon.

Chandelure actually looks pretty crazy wow

We have Destiny Bond, Fissure opening and crushing mons, Horn drilling through opponents, and freaking Guillotine, with is explicit decapitation.

I'll allow soul stealing.
 
Not to mention Self-destruct and Explosion.

...pieces of Clefairy everywhere...
 
What an odd choice, looks fun though.
 
Not only the roster isn't exclusively composed of fighting types, but it's clearly lacking fighting mons.
 
Bug types
We can count out Heracross since he's part fighting.
 
I wouldn't count out anyone from types alone, seeing as we got 4 fire types and 3 psychic types
 
I was joking. If we're getting a bug my bets in order would be Scizor, Scyther, Heracross and Pinsir.
 
So I know a guy that lives in japan that asked around what people consider the best characters are. He got this more or less:

1.Suicune
2.Pikachu Libre
3.Pikachu
4.Gengar
5.Blaziken

The current arcade build only has up to Sceptile, which most seem to agree is kind of lacking.
 
Huh...looks like Mega Mewtwo Y made it in after all.

Oh wait wait wait....hold the phone...

Oh

The Mega Mewtwo Y isnt part of Pokken, just on the same page, talking about Pokemon Tetra :/

You can tell because the Mewtwo isn't super detailed like Shadow is.
 
New supports

New gameplay footage is out.

Let's uh....pray that there is an Announcer Off button.

 
Huh...no one posted here in a while.... Better fill it up


Here's a combo vid demonstrating some combos.

And here's a taste of the music to expect from Pokken. Now get on the deck and flop like a fish!

 
Any good Garchomp footage out? Having Bryan Fury's strings (f4~1, db2, b1) as well as a command run with followups is getting me really hype to see what people do with him.
 
Also, while I'm at it, here's all the burst attacks in delicious HD
