Is anyone else hyped for this game

I never played it but no it was awful

>>389096315
It's unironically one of the best pokemon spinoffs. Would recommend.

>>389096315
The major issue I had with the Wii U was 30fps-locked local versus. Thankfully, this isn't an issue with the Switch version.

It's pretty fun, it's literally the "easy inputs" fighter /v/ claims they want. The same people who whine about doing a hadouken motion then drop it after they get bodied online, since it's a very neutral focused game that requires lots of match up knowledge.

If you have a friend who's decent at fighting games, you can get a good amount of enjoyment out of it.
Weavile a best 'mon.

It's fun if you want a competitive fighting game and are up for some experimental mechanics while still wanting a traditional fighter base with the main same gameplay systems (attack heights, multiple attack buttons, etc) to it (vs say smash which is completely different);

But unless you are gonna spend like hundreds of ours gitting gud at the MP or the novelty of real time pokemon is that high for you, then you won't get much out of it, as it has barely any single player content. So like most fighting games, you get out what you put in

>>389097651
Also, if anybody actually wants to get into the competitive community or wants to ask questions to them, then pretty much everybody uses discord.gg/pokken over fourms or anything similar, so that's where stuff happens.

PokkenArena.com exists and is used, but for storing guides on tech, resources like frame data and such, and more stuff to refer to; all the actual discussion happens on the discord

I never played it on Wii U, but I played the demo on Switch and yes, I am in fact hype for this game now.

Its only fun if you have people to play with/play online.

Single player is a mind numbing grind.

I played this on Wii U and it was garbage. Let this spin-off die.

>>389099585
Ok gonna pick it up

>>389099585
Can you unlock another support person? Default lady is boring and not that hot.

>>389100354

Not in the WiiU version, you can't.

>>389100530
On the switch you can? I spent hours trying to get rid of her

>>389100993

No idea. Its not out yet, so we'll find out when it is.

>>389096809
Nice opinion

>>389101041
Were you good at it?

>>389101731

Good enough to get through Story Mode.

Most of it anyway. Got too boring.

It's got depth, but no single player content and the controls feel incredibly clunky

>>389096315
It's pretty ok. A few of my friends picked it up at launch and promised to play it a lot, so I eventually bought it after trying it and thinking it was fun. In the end, I didn't even play my own copy for an hour. One of my bigger cases of buyer's remorse

>>389096315
Real fun with friends. Game is very well-balanced, probably due to having a smaller, concise roster. Despite being animals that don't talk, every character has a lot of personality in their animations.

My only real gripe is how "meh" single player mode feels. But honestly, it's still better than most 1v1 fighters offer nowadays.

The question I have:

Is this the type of fighting game where your 6 year old nephew can beat you by pushing buttons or is there skill beyond memorizing attacks for 100 hours in practice mode

>>389102314
If you're also just hitting buttons, probably. There is skill involved

>>389102314
The former

>>389102314
All inputs are just a direction plus a button, it's easy to start playing with intentionality once you figure out all of your main's moves. Button mashers can easily be dealt with by zoning or blocking, since almost all of the characters have some sort of ranged attack, and the block blocks everything but grabs.

Yes, try it OP.

>>389103076
Garden main for life, I'll also stick to sub braxien and pocket scizor.

>>389103256
Pretty sure most of the characters are considered A-Tier by the community. And out of all of them I think Croakgunk is the only one considered to be not competitively viable.

Oh shit. Is /vp/ mad that the bird made it in instead of the bara tiger?

>>389103256
All arcade players pretty much agree the game is very-well balanced, and that every character is viable with Crogunk being the worst, but still very usable.

>>389103076
BURRETO PAUNCHU

>>389103598
there are no legitimate opinions about the gen 7 starters on /vp/, just endless false flagging

>>389096315
Yes, it was the first fighting game i took time to git gud at and it was a lot of fun

>>389103076
I hear Empoleon has some slip'n'slide ice floor gimmick, and I've been interested in slippery movement in action games lately, so I'll definitely give them a swing first if I pick up DX.

nah. I prefer the naruto ultimate ninja storm games frankly. It's okay but there's a clear balancing issue with pokken, and the incredibly miniscule roster makes it that much more apparent when tournaments end up being fucking mirror matches for the top 8 all the way through

>>389103076
I used to play the Wii u version but I think I'll be more invested in the switch version. I was hoping for Hawlucha, Scrafty or Heracross to get in the roster, but I'll just have to make due with Lucha Pika. I've thinking of picking up Empoleon and Croagunk

>>389104076
I feel like everytime someone says naruto ultimate ninja stormit makes their post seen sarcastic. BabyDick type shit for sure considering the only thing that really changes between characters in that game is tilt's and Jutsu. Combo's seem to fill the same purpose for every character, regardless of looks.

>>389104452
That's not the case at all. There's just as much variety, if not more, than pokken. Fuck, there's not even tilts in pokken, that's some really casual shit right there.

>>389103076
Will main scizor and keep sceptile, will try decidueye

>>389102314
It's got competitive depth.

>>389102445
Not unless he's also shit himself.

Oh, I didn't even know you could do splitscreen in this version.
Neat.

Mained vanilla Pikachu, will try Croagunk or Darkrai.

>>389096315
I wish I had a Switch for this. Definitely buying it when I finally get one.

>>389107006
She is really good at zoning, but at higher level play that's less of a problem, and you also aren't dealing with the lag at tournaments, which makes getting past the zoning not as much of an issue.

Also, Chandelure has won a ton of majors, despite that. bottom line is, the game is very balanced

>>389107006
She's excellent at zoning, but the game is very balanced. Her combo potential is lacking and she isn't too great up close if you know the game. She's more a scrub stomper than anything.

>>389103076
Mained Gengar because SHE is cute as fuck but I might go with Scizor or Croagunk because I like their aesthetics.

Some high level gameplay, if anyone is interested.

>>389112017
Why is weavile so rare in majors and regionals despite people saying he's top 3

>>389112182
I'd just say low/weak representation from high level players. EveryDamnDay just got 4th with Weavile today at Hidden Boss X, Coach Steve got 3rd at DreamHack Austin 2017 with Weavile in top 8. Weavile is a solid character but not top 3 imo

>>389096315
Trash game with a trash roster. It tries real hard to be Tekken crossed with the Naruto fighting games but isn't particularly memorable. And a lot of the roster feels safe, they could have been way more creative with their choices. Suicune being the only quadruped is a shame. Chandelure is great though and almost redeems a boring roster. Shitters like Croagunk and Braixen are just insulting, and lucha pikachu instantly invalidates anything good about the game.

>>389112602
>It tries real hard to be Tekken crossed with the Naruto fighting games

Except neither of pokken's 2d phases play anything like either of those.

>>389112017
How well has gardevoir done at majors? I can never catch a major so I have no idea what her placings are

>>389113012
Japan has a really good Gardevoir named Itou, NA has Ouroboro and Rasenryu. Both Itou and Rasenryu qualified for the World Championships 2017 but both went 0-2 sadly. Garde is definitely a viable character though.

>>389112993
Boy avatar, please don't be the faggot who picks the opposite gender for whatever reason.

>>389112292
I'm aware coach steve gets success and you occasionally see EDD and one or two other people like gibus make top 8, but there still feels like there's a disproportionate lack of representation/results given how good people say the character is, which is what i'm asking about.

What did you say about her?!

But girl avatars tend to have better clothing options in Jap games.

>>389112017
Tell me about Croagunk is he really as bad as the tier list suggests?

>>389113168
yeah imo I think it's just because of overhyping. If I'm gonna be honest I think gibus just got lucky, I don't think he's that great. EDD is also lower end, Coach Steve is the only real high level Weavile and he's focusing on other games right now.

Libre is the hypest character to watch fight, honestly.

>>389113303
Nah, every character is 100% viable. Croagunk has some RNG elements but I think he'll be totally fine as a character. Pokken's pretty well balanced, play who you want; as long as you're dedicated and improve you can win majors.

>>389103076
gonna keep playing Braixen, but also going to pick up Darkrai cause he looks like the typical arcsys "robot loli that summons swords" keepaway fag that I always want to be good with

>>389113308
So you think it's a matter of lack of good enough players exploring his options?

>>389113542
Pretty much. My region is known for having a ton of Weaviles but only Gibus somewhat broke through and like I said I think that was just a fluke.

>>389111508
Really kinda want to pick up Scizor. He looks fun as fuck.

>>389112017
Do you think there will still be a tournament scene in a year or two? I'm a poorfag and probably won't pick up the Switch until at least next year.

>>389113746
Considering that we've thrived on Wii U during the dark ages (late 2016) I can almost guarantee you that we'll be sticking around for as long as we can. We're a dedicated group, and we'd love to have you when you can make it. I'm confident we'll be around then.

How did they fuck that up?

>>389114346
The hitmons would be shit, they have almost nothing to them other then just punches and kicks which every character already does.

>>389114346
I think they said they didn't want to have too many fighting types. There's already Machamp, Blaziken, and Pika Libre.

>>389114514
Libre ain't a fighting type, mate.

>>389114635
>Expecting boards to properly talk about their main topic

>>389114635

The /vp/ threads are made daily by the same guy. Always with Pokkén box art, talking about no "hype" and whatnot.

Not sure what his obsession with Pokkén DX selling poorly is.

>>389114607
Fuck me I thought it gains fighting as a secondary type when it's in that costume. It only gains a fighting move. My mistake, but it's pretty much a honorary fighting type.
>>389114698
It's just one shitposter mostly. Plus /vp/ really isn't into fighting games, and a lot slower than /v/.

please do not purchase this game if you have any plans to play braixen. braixen players are unpleasant and probably are smelly smash fans.
>>389103076
mained machamp and loved him, but scizor is my absolute favorite pokemon so im switching to him

>>389103076
Mained Machamp in the original. Always wanted to pick up Sceptile as a secondary or something. But I may pick up Scizor as well since I love his style and I've always really liked Scizor.

How exactly do you expect the fanbase to not hate it because of its abysmal roster? Even if the game is actually good, its not like the majority of people who play a fucking RPG game will also happen to like playing fighting games.

>>389096315
I had fun for like a month and then I started hating it.

Hawlucha or the lucha starter from Gen 7 would be cool too.

are you combo?

The announcer is annoying. As long as you can mute her it will be ok

>>389116225
I mean being legit serious, not to bash the game or its devs but this is seriously not a game made for pokemon fans and I seriously doubt that it can ever be unless they get a bit more varied with their choices (especially their starter choices, every single starter seems to be the fast starter) instead of just picking whatever is most popular with the odd choice here and there.

>>389116468
You can mute her completely for battles but she'll still talk a bit in the menus. Fortunately you can change her voice to Japanese which is less annoying than her English voice.

only reason you'd play this game is because of the pokes. fuck the system, graphics, gameplay, whatever. you play because of the pokes.

so either you have shit taste like the japs that they fucking pandered to, or you won't play it.

>>389116538
You don't speak for everyone, shut the fuck up. There's lots of people who are happy with the roster.

>>389103598
I don't even care about Pokemon, but wrestler tiger is much better than Ezio bird.

>>389117096
>implying I meant that I speak for everyone

The fact that you said everyone is fucking ironic considering the majority of the people who play pokemon games will never see a pokemon they actually like in this game. You fuck off.

>>389117340
No shit the majority of fans won't, because there's so many different Pokémon. You can't please everyone no matter what you do, are you retarded?

>>389103598
The tiger was a far more fitting choice, but they probably added the Bird because theres 3 fire starters in it already. I don't see why that should matter though, they've added two Mewtwos and two Pikachus.

>>389103076

Mained Chadelure in the original.

Might try out Decidueye if I buy the game and if the game catches on competitively. (The answer to both is probably no.)

>>389117407
Are you? Why get mad when I say the game is not made for pokemon fans when its very clear that it will not satisfy the majority of them? Especially considering that this is a fighting game while Pokemon is primordially an RPG franchise.

Are you retarded?

>>389117441
>two Mewtwos and two Pikachus.

This will never not leave a bad taste in my mouth, especially with the latter being a gimmick who has only shown up in one game.

Reminder that Pika Libre is best girl and that Braixen players are all shit.

So are the tourney players switching over to the 3v3 format for competitive, or are they sticking to 1v1. I think both are reasonable, but I think 3v3 could be worse for viewership. The roster is on the smaller side, and if there is a really easy to pick up and play high tier it will end up on everybody's team. Like Iori and Benimaru in KoF.

>>389119137
staying with 1v1, but 3v3 might be used for crew battles or side events

>>389119207
That sounds like the better choice.

>>389103076
Probably Gengar or Scizor.
