/ptg/ - Pokken Tournament General

Gardevoir a shit

Is there a fighting game with a more tedious single player campaign?
I know I get Shadow Mewtwo at the end of the chroma league, but I'm just not sure I can handle the grind again.
I don't even want to touch Iron League.

Is anyone's mirror match color their shiny?

>>26366937
the fuck is this

>>26367308
The Lucario recolor from your forum signature circa 2006.

>>26367308
In a mirror match, the second player's Pokemon wears a band that projects an alternate coloration onto them so the two can be told apart.
Lucario wears his in his legs and it makes him look red.
I imagine that narrative device is what lets Namco get away with changing the colors of Pokemon when Pokemon company only lets Sakurai give Pokemon slightly different tints for Alts.

>>26367383
>>26367326
No, I mean is that an amibo? An action figure?

>>26367383
>slightly different tints for Alts

What is up with Chandelure's being just that?

Does strategy boost anything besides support damage? I tried testing and I saw no difference in the time or effect of buffs/debuffs, or the charge time for calling out.

>>26367794
Each level is only worth 1% of impact, right?
The durations are so short 10% more is probably barely anything.

>>26367846
That's what I've come to think. It makes powerful damage oriented supports hurt even more, but it's just not worth dumping into. I guess synergy really is the only way to go.

Shadow Mewtwo looked like Algol, but he seems more like Nightmare instead.
With little bits of everyone else's moves thrown in for some reason.

>>26366937
Man, it's cool how his feet now show a sense of anatomy, but they look kind of ugly.

What an absolute madman. I like the differences in playstyle between him and Bim by the way.

The Blaziken player was really good too but I agree with >>26368614, his top 8 matches were more impressive.

God, adapting is the best feeling ever.

>>26367888
He definitely has one of Algol's moves although he doesn't play like him. I don't see where you're getting Nightmare from, though.

>>26371605
He's literally possessed by soul edge that wants to absorb all the life force in the world and you have to awaken soulcalibur and use it to defeat him in the Astral chaos.

What would they use as a boss character in pokken 2 if that ever happens?

What

>>26374752
Those are only 4 things and one of them is a lie.

I'm gettin' real sick of getting grabbed because the game fucking delayed my input

>>26375691
Speaking of this, is it impossible to break a grab if you get meaty grabbed from falling out of the air?

>>26375869
Maybe if you stance switch fast enough? Some characters duck under grabs or are entirely immune in certain stances.

>>26374412
>Gives the characters much more... weight?

we need to go thicker.

I've never played a fighting game as bullshit at this one. Holy shit.

>>26377411
Sometimes it feels like I'm getting scooped off the ground. It's infuriating. I've come to just start jumping on wake-up instead, since it's so unexpected they can't even anti air in time.

>>26377450
>jump on wakeup
>eat meaty attacks instead
rel smrt

>>26376985
I didn't know how much I wanted this until now.

>>26377411
>>26377450
I call that frame perfect get up grab.

>>26377520
Does everyone share the same grab frames or are some grabs slower than others?

>>26377592
I know ranges vary per character.

>>26377592
some grabs are definitely slower than others. Suicunes grab is noticeably the slowest.

>>26377454
I don't think you're playing the same game. This is pokken not street fighter, there are very few reliable meaties that can't just be jumped over too. That's why me and other anon are mentioning grabs, they're much more reliable and have lots of leniency. Plus with a jump, it makes the grab whiff, meaning I can critical hit and start my offense.

>>26377637
If it's a meaty, doesn't that mean by definition you can't jump over it?

>>26377520
Shit like that shouldn't be allowed.

>>26377696
No, meaty is just an attack on wake-up, that is meant to catch people on its last few active frames. But since attacks in pokken are usually really slow you can see them coming while waking up, and some meaties come in from jump ins or lows so it's entirely possible to jump over. Meaning they're not really good meaties, but like I said the game doesn't offer a lot besides the very lenient grabs. Grabs are probably the best meaties universally because of that, but besides that the other option is probably a jumping weak attack but that's not an option for everyone.

>>26370064
I like to avoid having to adapt and just learn the best way from the start.

>>26376985
The Braixen/Weavile ship will go through the roof.

>>26378674
More like Braixen x Machamp.

I've seen way too many

>>26377837
>No, meaty is just an attack on wake-up, that is meant to catch people on its last few active frames.
So how are you able to jump over it then if the meaty move's hitbox is already over you as you wake up?

>>26378734
Because they're really slow. You see them coming and you have more options in dealing with them. Lucario probably has the best meaties on wake-up, if you really don't want to grab, but that's only cause his are very fast coming out and recovering, which like I said before not everyone has such fortune in attacks. There is no effective collar bone breaker in the game, so you have to make due with what's given, and everyone is given grabs that currently serve the meta well. I'm sure it'll change in time, once people find something better that doesn't risk eating a critical combo, but for now it's one of the better options, which means the best option for me, is wake up jump.

>>26378995
>Because they're really slow.
Doesn't that mean you start it earlier then?
Maybe I'm not just understanding meaty correctly.

How does Sceptile play? Is he slow and lumbering with critical strikes like a samurai?

>>26379138
He's an annoying ninja teleporting asshole with traps

Why do mexicans lag so much.

>>26379125
Yeah you start it earlier, but they see it coming, which means they can react much easier with a wake-up jump, counter, backdash, or whatever beats it. It's very hard to react to a grab if set up right, besides jumping. But certain characters like pika libre can still grab you out of the air so even that's not a guaranteed out, so I mostly try to backdash against them and machamp if I'm not on the wall.

>>26379441
>It's very hard to react to a grab if set up right, besides jumping

Did you try attacking

>>26379529
Attacks beat grabs sometimes, mostly on get up.

>>26377411
>>26377450
>>26377520
Yes I have.
>>26379529
And like I said earlier it feels like I just get scooped off the ground anyway. I find jumping to be the more reliable option, it's not like by jumping I'm barred from a critical combo retaliation, I'm just avoiding getting grabbed by characters that can't grab out of the air.

Don't die

What's the best charge move in the game and why is it machamps counter?

is anyone on the code

>>26379138
He's the slowest of the Speed class as far as I can tell, and he does have a sweet spot on his Leaf Blade that could represent a "critical strike."

>>26381451
>duck under
>punish with grab or combo

Ez pz

>>26381545
You can't duck under scary face.

Wait, do you even take any damage when countering?

What's the timing on agility to pass through projectiles?

Is there an effective way to practice this in training mode? I can't just set the CPU to spam a certain projectile.

>>26377411
Should've bought that Pokken controller when it was still $25 faggot

>>26381970
You're immune to damage unless it's a self damaging counter, you get grabbed, or pierced as far as I know. So if you have 1hp left and want to counter you can still absorb hits until it's down.

>>26382020
You can try setting them to use support, but I'm pretty sure support projectiles are different than regular ones so I'm not sure if agility will work or not. But chances are you'll need to test it anyway.

>>26382067
That seems really strong, you should still take unflinching damage.

>>26381599
O

So, three of the people in the UK Nationals made top 32, which is the point where you start getting points, with 0 wins in pools.

>>26382020
Yes, Normal attack in Field Phase is usually projectile.

>>26382639
None of those are projectiles I have issue using it on though

What am I supposed to do if i'm blocking and the other guy is charging up the last X hit of the homing attack in field phase?

It breaks block and counters, grabs misses or get stuffed, and hitting x gets beaten out

>>26374425
They're sold in Pokemon Centers in Tokyo. You can probably find them on eBay or whatever the sunyshores website was called.

>>26374248
Is there a small weavile one?

What's Machamp's longest combo? What about his highest damage one?

>>26382738

>>26382132
Zoners would be way too fucking good.

>>26382674
If you predict the charge mash x.

>>26383842
What am I supposed to do on reaction, though?:

>>26383856
I don't think you can really do anything on reaction.

If you don't want to take damage, just eat it, you lose synergy but not health when your guard breaks.

>>26383872
Yes, eat it all the time, act super open to it until the critical moment where countering it makes you win.

>>26384403
You can't counter, the charged final hit pierces.

>>26384438
Maybe anon just means punishing it.

>>26384513
again, with what?

>>26384525
You can punish it if you predict it, but not on reaction, I think. With any homing attack?

>>26384525
Literally what everyone else has said. On reaction it's impossible, you have to predict it.

>>26384564
>>26384639
"punish" traditional means to follw up with something after they'vw whiffed/it';s been blocked/countered/whatever.

If you are just predicting it, it's a read.

>>26384658
We're on the same page then, different wording.

>>26384525
I like an aurora beam in the face immediately after the second hit connects.

okay /ptg/, what's your worst and best matchup, and who do you main?

Main: Weavile
Best matchup: Machamp or Chandelure
Worst: Garchomp

>>26384826
Main: Suicune
Best matchup: basically everything not named Mewtwo
Worst matchup: Mewtwo is 50/50, but i can usually hold my own

>>26384639
If you have a fast y attack you can use it on reaction, or you can try backdashing. Most y projectiles in field phase are fast enough to catch charges.

>>26383114
A few combos I know are enhanced up a, down x,x, then down a. Another is down x,x and air grab. Doing that instead of close combat stops the phases from switching.

I love all the little nods to Pokemon move mechanics.
Like oh, that's hyper beam and now it makes perfect sense why so much ending lag.

Braixen is the only AI-controlled pokemon that makes me feel alive in a Ferrum Battle.
As a result she's the most fun to fight.

Favourite person to fight is Elinn. It's a shame she only talks the first time you fight her.

Why does every Pokemon game's story and characters have to suck so hard? It's literally the same old "friendship beats evil" shtick with a different coat of paint, every fucking time.
They could've put Pokken's focus more on the sportsy aspects of the battles and their tournaments, instead we got half a story and characters for who it doesn't even matter that their voice actors didn't bother trying.

>>26396356
It's still a franchise for kids.

dazzling gleam is basically the worst thing for me, because chomp has zero ranged options so he has to stick close to garde unless he wants to get chipped to death, I learned the hard way
>>26407211

But then you would counter any attack

>>26407452
well yeah that's kind of the point of a mixup
he's not RPS shark for no reason
the tradeoff though is that he has no real RPS-ignoring options in duel phase like psystrike or any charged X attack aside from his default counter so he *has* to guess right on his reads or else he's very open to punishment

The only people that didn't complain much were the Mewtwo and Shadow Mewtwo mains (surprise, surprise). Oh and the Sceptile main was mostly content with his character but he's basically the best Pokken player in the US, so that's kind of expected.

>>26410035
I thought the tornado is not safe on block?

>>26410116
I think it's only unsafe on whiff.

>>26410116
It's definitely safe on block, and it breaks counters.

Do any of you disconnect on people with a bad connection?

no one wants to rematch me as Chandy ;_;

>>26411152
people don't usually rematch on friendlies

>>26410109
I can understand complaining about blaziken and weavile, but why would anyone complain about chandelure? He completely skips over most of the rps setup and can control the match anywhere.

Why does gardevoir have like one counter breaker and only in duel phase

>>26411534
>WHY SO MUCH LANDING LAAAG
>MY MINIMIZE DIDNT COME OOUUUT
>WAAAH THE FORWARD DASH IS SOOO BAD
All on PKSparxx stream yesterday

>>26411942
It shouldn't break counters imo. In fact, anything that isn't a fully charged counter shouldn't pierce counters.

>>26412181
What do you mean it shouldnt
Its a counter piercer

>>26412276
it shouldn't have that property is what I mean.

So what does Miracle Eye even do besides make the pillars explode?

Are there still tournaments by that Chazo guy?

>>26412172
I don't know who that is but he sounds like a shitter if he seriously thinks chandelure needs any more of an edge.

Anybody wanna go a couple of rounds today?

Holy fuck, do all Mewtwos disconnect when they loose, are about to lose, or think they are about to lose? I was fighting against a B4 rank Mewtwo and he fucking disconnects with his HP at 150 when I land my burst with Pikachu. For fucks sake he wasn't even going to die.

>>26415118
Something similar happened to me with a pikachu who went into burst mode.

>Dashes towards me trying to nuzzle me into burst
>When he was close enough I'd jump over him, whiffing the nuzzle
>Did it like 3 times
>Stays idle and disconnects briefly.

>>26415150
I'll never understand why people disconnect, does that win-rate matter that much?

>>26415186
I assume their rank means a lot and might mean they're on a losing streak close to ranking down.

>>26415186
Only when it's perfect. After losing that lose virginity then let loose and go on a losing streak like that Lucario.

>>26415229
Except it was in friendlies.

>>26415305
That makes them an even bigger fag.

>>26410613
I don't disconnect, but I do block them immediately afterwards.

>not rematching in friendlies
The cancer killing Pokken

>>26415919
>rematching shitty E3's and wasting your time

>>26415962
>not rematching people of equal or near equal skill

>>26412620
In Field phase, it turns the purple arrows(side+Y) into mini barriers.

It redirects the thundershocks(neutral Y) towards the opponent.

That's all I remember at the moment. I guess you can also use it to cancel some animations or something.

>>26412889
>(ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵖᵒˢˢᶦᵇᶫᵉ ᶜᵃˢʰ ᵖʳᶦᶻᵉˢ)
But you say that for every tournament despite never putting anything forward. If you want people to donate money then just ask, it's really that simple.

>>26416368
>"donating" money to a literal who to distribute to the winner
>especially when that literal who rigs the tournament every time

What would compel them to make Gengar's 8X such a horrible move?

>>26417416
For that Burst mode 8X.

>>26417480
That's still bullshit. Gengar doesn't have a reliable way to break grabs since 8X is the only guaranteed way.

Why is he so shitty anon? ;_;

code

>>26417627
Isn't 2Y supposed to be guaranteed?

>>26417665
It's not. Also it's dangerous as hell to use against anyone in burst.

>>26417714
Everything is dangerous in burst.

I normally use his down y, charged x, or up x to get out of grabs. Grabs are just really good in general and I think gengar has one of the worst command grabs in terms of range and damage which for some reason becomes even less effective when he's in burst, unless you want to follow up with the burst attack, but if you're desperate enough to throw out that grab then I assume your burst is already wasted.

>>26417872
Man, they really just decided to dick over Gengar.

>>26417993
I didn't get to see how super good he was in beta so it makes me wonder what could've been if I'm decent with him as is.

Wanna code for 30 mins?

Which character has the worse fanbase?

>>26418446
Nanaca

>>26412620
Generally it's used to power up existing projectiles, like give them bigger a range or direct them towards the opponent. It's a pretty unique attack really.

>>26417993
>best character in the game barely uses his burst
>worst character in the game relies too much on his burst
Coincidence? I think not :^)

We all did. RIP Absol.

On another note, why are the German players so shit?
>Lucario that never used Force Palm
>Suicune that never used it's counter attack and kept missing the Mirror Coat input
>Blaziken that got double perfected by a fucking Gardevoir of all things
>Mewtwo that couldn't finish the Psystrike animation and didn't know any of his BNB combos
>mfw
Only the Shadow Mewtwo guy and the Charizard twitch streamer were somewhat capable.

In GAME the Wii U section is tucked away on the upper floor up some tiny stairs at the back of the room.

>>26420829
alright?

>>26420817
That charizard really made my blood boil. Upset that the pikachu didn't adapt.

>>26418622
Burst was a mistake

>>26422377
They had to do something to satisfy the "MORE POWER" fantasy.

Most assists are so shit in this game

>>26427012
They either need to ditch it or revamp it in the next. There's maybe 5 that are worth using unless you're going for something very specific.

>>26427325
Espeon/Umbreon
Reshiram/Cresselia
Ninetales

Cubone?

>Dragonite
>over Fenniken

>>26428505
Fennekin/emolga
Reshiram/cresselia

Everything else feels far too situational for me, or relies giving up offense to use, where those you can use defensively and offensively and have use in most situations.

Anyone on the code?

>>26429233
sure

Waiting for Scrafty or Malamar to join the fray!

I see way too many Cressirams.
That Large HP/Synergy Up too strong.

ggs obs
net got pretty bad there at the end

Not sure what was up with the lag.

gg, Nanaca.

If anyone's wondering, the top 8 characters are Weavile (x2), Gardevoir (x2), Charizard, Shadow Mewtwo, Suicune and Blaziken. Keep in mind though the level of competition is only so-so

Where was the Shiggy Special?

Dark and Shiggy played 4 sets against each other this tournament:
Pools Final
Semi Final
Grand Final
Grand Final 2: Electric Boogaloo

>>26432364
I think shadow mewtwo is more bullshit than regular mewtwo.

>>26388572
It's so fucking savage if you start winning your RPS reads with Garchomp consistently.

I love how after three repetitions of a brutal combo like that, the enemy player basically just gives up.

Nothing nsfw, just a guy pointing out how the challonge guy is very jewish with money. There was another post pointing out that he changed the rules concerning prizes after he lost 3 tournaments in a row.

if you want it on /vg/, I'll make it. Otherwise you do it.

>>26442029
>tfw it feels like this game died faster than Ultra Smash.

>>26443634
Well, both are shit games with no content.

>>26443400
Sure you can make it on /vg/ but be warned. Overwatch is releasing todaymorrow and will likely wipe a bunch of unpopular generals off the board with it's sheer speed.

This is something that should be voted on.

The next general should be on /vp/, from there we can decide if we go to /vg/ or not.

>>26443810
Wouldn't they still have only one general though? What would their internal speed matter?
