Anyone want to fite

>>26761991
Wait, Darkarai is the battle 'mon, while Scizor is the supportmon? I thought it was the reverse. Who even asked for Darkarai as a playable character anyway?

>>26764269
we don't know if we get 3 playable mons or only 1. we can only speculate at best

>>26764269
>Who even asked for Darkarai as a playable character anyway?
Every kid ever.

>>26764290
I'm guessing kids love him because he's the literal embodiment of dark and edgy?

I was just confused because I could have sworn a lot more people were asking for Scizor over Darkarai on this site. I think Scizor lends itself better to being a playable 'mon myself Although after seeing Chandy become playable, I probably shouldn't expect anything.

Of course, that's only IF Darkarai is the playable one. According to >>26764281, we don't know for sure yet.

Like they need more supports in the game, half of them go pretty much unused anyway.

>>26765315
speaking of supports, good thing that cress invincibility is gone

>>26761778
The game will be completely dead by then, and not even the most requested character for the game would bump up the sales.

They're definitely saving Greninja for the sequel. There's no point in adding him so late into the game's lifespan when they can use him to generate hype for the sequel. It'll also give them time to wait for the inevitable mega.

>>26766023
Not unless Game Freaks stops shilling it, the game got a fuckload of tournaments all over the world so far, I'm sure they will keep the trend for at least one more year. I'm expecting a Darkrai announcement maybe for VGC?

>>26766023
I honestly hope we never get Greninja.

Probably because he was one of the best characters in the game.

The Arcade roster is complete and it looks like there might be more in the future.

>>26770930
Does he have any tourney results to back that up? I see a lot of complaining about him but the only tournament I'm aware of him placing in he lost to a Blaziken, who was widely considered mediocre.

Garchomp/Braixen/Shadow Mewtwo are going to be playable in an update for the Arcade Version this Summer.

There may also be something else in store, so with that trailer and the files found within the patch pretty much means we're getting some new content now that both versions are up to date.

ZOROARK WHEN????!??!!

>>26772540
Never. Zoroark's powerset wouldn't even work well in Pokken.

>>26772593
>mokujin not only exists but even belongs to the source inspiration for this exact fucking game

>>26772629
Zoroark doesn't work like Mokujin

>>26772642
tweak him a little for artistic liberty and he could

Well ok it disconnected

>>26771911
well I don't know what happened there but gg
you should really stop doing that thing where you put down the controller when things start looking like they're really going south
you lose 100% of the comebacks you don't try

>>26772649
>tweak him a little
It'd be more than a "little" tweak. It would literally be Ditto/Mew

>>26772754
is k, I had things I have to do anyways so I guess it was ok timing

>>26772759
I didnt want to have my heart broken by games i think i was gonna win only to lose
So i would prepare for the next battle instead

There are so many times it didnt grab you when it should have

>>26772770
No for me
I wanted to get at least one more win in
especially when I knew I had a chance that round
Disconnected in the middle really pissed me off

>>26772769
fine, but there's still ways to keep it more true to the image
>fight begins as you vs some random mon
>opponent uses typical moves
>you manage to get a hit in
>whoops, it's actually zoroark!
>reverts back to zoroark attacks
a bit of a stretch but still workable

>>26772787
>>26772800
you don't expect to win a comeback though, that's just not how they work by definition
winning one should always be a pleasant surprise
also I don't really want be a wet blanket but that last round we were at 1-0 with bars half and almost empty, so if I didn't whiff the field combo it probably would've ended there
m-maybe some other time

>>26771072
I know that BiM constantly does excellently with Sceptile. Plus, I see Sceptiles a lot in tournament videos (along with Suicune).

>>26771947
Who was your main?

>server maintenance

Dammit.

>>26772540
I'd like to see Zoroark too. Although it technically doesn't gain the ability to use moves through it's Illusion, it'd still be cool if it took on the form of a different pokemon briefly during non Dark type attacks.

Also it's abilities are illusory in general, not just strictly taking on the appearance of other Pokemon, so I'm sure they could use that for bait and disruption type moves.

>>26773338
Yup, I bet the announcement will be right after the maintenance ends.

>>26771250
>Braixen:strong attack: We made it possible to combo after hitting a grounded opponent with the second
>go to lab
>have to whiff first hit
>pops them up, but only breifly
>have only been able to chain it into 2Y, light screen(only on large characters), and support cancels
How was this idea even conceived?

>>26773835
Maybe you can combo into it?

>And...
>Another new battle Pokémon will join the fight!
>Coming Soon

>>26773384
Doubt.
I expect it at a big tournament, Pokken's or Pokémon in general, like they did with Libre.
It would be pretty stupid of them not to announce it during E3, the characters must be not ready yet.

>>26773835
It can combo into the first hit of 5Y. On some characters it can combo into both hits of 5X. On some characters it can combo into 2Y and flamethrower.

It really is useless.

so braixen can now combo off 5XX, but does anyone know any combo that utilize this like never before?

>>26775748
You'll have a hard time following up from the second hit of her 5X, the first hit is far more useful if cancelled into a support like cubone. Leads to some crazy combos that can deal up to 238 damage.

>>26774884
Just one?

>>26776866
It could be more.
The word pokemon can also be plural, right? Like amiibo.

>>26761742
where can i see this

>>26777081
Yeah, but another new battle pokemon sounds like one in English. Probably just the translation.

I just want all 3 of them to be playable. The game is seriously lacking.

>>26777129
Japanese people don't have the most fancy ways to express if something is plural or not, there is nothing in that picture saying if it's talking about one Pokémon or more Pokémon.

>>26777118
http://fuckyeahmachamp.tumblr.com/post/145855031828/pokkentournamenteu

So there seems to be some uncertainty about whether or not it's just Darkrai playable or not. I'm not completely in on what's been leaked with the files, but from what I understand, we have

>Darkrai with 2 confirmed moves, Dark Pulse and Dark Void
>Scizor with just Slash, but also a Mega
>Empoleon with just Rock Smash
>One empty slot

Darkrai having 2 moves pretty much confirms that it's a playable fighter, but doesn't the Mega for Scizor also confirm that? And then, by association, we can probably assume Empoleon, as it'd be alone with no partner assist, right?

Is there something I'm missing?

>>26778660

>>26778702
Forgive my ignorant burger speak, but a quick google search seems to show that that's Bug Bite. Was I wrong about Scizor having Slash, or does it also have Bug Bite, therefore confirming it's place as a playable fighter?

>>26778720
bug bite is all but confirmed for scizor
I can see it doing something like stealing support guage

135KB, 242x257px

>>26778660
if darkrai and scizor have hints that they're not support you're right, empoleon would have to be playable because it has no partner

pray with me anons. we need more playable mons

>>26778748
Gotchya. So it's pretty much confirmed that based Scizor is in.

>I can see it doing something like stealing support guage

I would expect this, yeah. The dev's are pretty god damn good at translating pokemon moves in a fighting game in a logical way, similar to how Knock Off actually knocks off synergy.

I'd be interested to see how they classify Scizor. Going by just stats, it'd be Power, based off competitive play it'd be Technique, and in-game and anime lore+design, it'd be Speed. not that the classifications matter, all the pokemon pretty much break those molds anyway

Please give us more gen 2 mons

Something like Aggron would be cool. High HP, strong attacks that have a delay, and slower movement.

Samurott could be an interesting character.
He's a water starter which the game currently doesn't have and they could do something interesting with his scimitars.

>>26778902
Perhaps.
Maybe even Dewott as a faster character like Weavile.
I would probably main Samurott.

>>26778928
I'd prefer Samurott.

we need less bipedal fighters

>>26778891
I'd like to see Aggron too, yeah.

Pokken's sort of a frustrating game. They have a small roster, which is understandable. I've been playing fighters for years, and itd be actually pretty stupid of them to make the roster too large, as it'd be near impossible to make it not a fucking mess. Trust me when I say, it'd be a hsit show if they jumped the gun and made like 50 characters to boot.

But they've done such a great job, and have managed to include a huge variety of pokemon and make them all work well. And given the source material, there's just so many great choices. I mean, they could basically make any pokemon playable that's between the size of Pikachu and Rhyperior, near regardess of body type. That's pretty much 80% of all pokemon.

Even though they couldnt have ever satisfied everyone, and they made the right choice, it's still always going to leave people wanting more.

Beam attacks need a nerf. When I can't fucking move my WEAVILE the whole match because some fucking faggot is spamming BEAM BEAM BEAM BEAM BEAM OH LOOK AT ME I HAVE A BETTER WIN RATIO, something needs to be done. Gardevoir has been a nightmare for me with spam of THREE FUCKING ATTACKS and Sceptile beat me by spamming LEAF BLADE AND NOTHING ELSE.

Then again, I do suck at this game.

>>26779118
get gud faggot

>>26779144
But I am too busy playing Roblox and Minecraft
Any hax I can use?
In all seriousness, how do you deal with beam spam?

>>26779118
Beam attacks in this game are a skill wall. It's pretty necessary for them to be that good to be viable at higher levels.

What you need to learn from them are micro movements and CDAC against non pierce beams. A mixup between those and properly timed jumps, and you'll be able to close the gap.

I dont know the specifics of Weavile's phase dash thing (Agility I think it is), but I imagine that'll be good for any non-Chandelure beams. Honestly, Weavile has the movement options to get in. You just need to learn how to optimize them.

>>26779186
Thanks.

>>26779199
No problem. I dont know the name of the manuever, but at medium distances in Duel Phase, you can fire an Icicle Crash towards the foe, use R to drop down from the air quickly, then combo directly into a Knock Off. If blocked, you'll still be closing the distance.

Also something to note, Sceptile's Leaf Blade is a counter. It's an extremely quick counter, but just grabbing in response to it, if youre quick enough, and you'll beat it out.

>>26779118
Chandelure and Suicune are the only real problems when it come to lasers.

If only one of the rumored three is playable I really hope it's Empoleon. That would bump the number of playable Pokemon I actually like to a whopping 2.

How to save the game:
>release Scizor DLC
>make it a hard counter to both M2s

Why did they nerf pika libre's best combo tool and his synergy burst? huh????

>>26781844
>his
That's why

>>26781844
>his

Wait there's confirmed DLC for Pokken? And it's free with the update?

Swampert when?

>>26782113
>Swampert when?
Never, in the same trashbin as Greninja

>>26782113
No. Empoleon got in

>>26782113
It's likely just Scizor with a Darkrai/Empoleon support set but I hope I'm wrong

>>26782113
You know, if it really is just one character I hope it's free. I still have like 24 bucks left on my account.

>>26777387
that felt good to watch

>>26777387
Does this mean that Machamp isn't shit tier anymore?

>>26781162
It would have an interesting play style too. Bulky and slower but could probably hit hard and have some decent projectile moves

>>26784521
I could see that. And maybe one prominent mobility move, like Aqua Jet to differenitate itself.

>>26784531
I just hope it's not going to be cucked into support. It's such a great starter.

Aqua Jet dashing would be amazing.

>>26781162
I prefer Samurott, but I guess Empoleon is ok.

>>26784547
I doubt it. Darkrai's got 2 moves confirmed, Scizor has a Mega, and at least one move, maybe 2, which would leave Empoleon alone, partnerless, meaning it pretty much has to be a playable character.

>>26784561
It would give the game new life for me if my man Empoleon was brought in. Used that nigga so much when DPP came out.

Pretty hype about this right now

>Empoleon
Great choice. Game lacks defensive Pokes.

>Scizor
I don't want it, but everyone else does so whatever. I think Leavanny would've been more interesting, but Scizor isn't a bad choice at all.

>Darkrai
Shit choice all around. I'm disappointed.

>>26784589
Yeah, same. Scizor is like a dream come true for me. And hell, Empoleon wouldn't be my first pick, but I'm not about to complain about it, he's a rad penguin bro.

Hope he gets in. I'd like to see as many people satisfied with this game as possible.

Shit, maybe next time I'll actually fucking pay more attention to the rest of the thread

I'm hyped as fuck for these 3. I love Darkrai and Scizor naturally, and Empoleon's a good choice. Not what I'd first guess, but still cool. I can see a lot of potential for these three.

>>26784691
>edgy ghost and bug being added as characters

Man, this DLC is disappointing
the only one that i'm hyped for is empoleon and even then it's just "Oh hey this might be cool"

Yeah, Pokken's roster isn't great. At least we didn't get Greninja, though.

Good suggestions, though maybe extend Eevee's attack buff as well/Sylveon's heal more as well. I can see Sylveon's defense buff being particularly useful in guts/rage mode, but it just doesn't last long enough for it to be particularly useful currently.

First time fighting a Mewtwo since the balance patch. Thank god they nerfed that ridiculous homing attack in field.

BRAVO BAMCO

I wonder will Pokken Tournament 2 happen.

>>26817269
That's worrying, though I rarely get lag.

Thinking of hoping on now to get a feel for the Chomp and Blaziken changes so I'll let you know how it goes. Anyone want to hop on the code or shall I try my luck with randoms?

>>26818796

Almost an hour later. That said I'm easily distracted and I only got around to hopping on now. Messing around in training a bit and then I'll head online i you're still around, anon. No worries otherwise!

>>26819547
sure
I'll be finishing this round

>>26819547

guess the maintenance really did fuck things up, that tiny bit of latency throughout was pretty ass
you tend to back away after a knockdown a lot, i can't say about the other characters but that is definitely the last thing you want to do with chomp because the only thing that does is give your opponent breathing room

>that Leaf Storm combo finish in the first Lucario vs Sceptile match

I'll admit that I come across Sceptiles so infrequently that I have no idea what to do against them. Let alone one that actually knows what they're doing.

My Blaziken needs some work. And probably a skill point retune. I think half of the problem is jumping from Garchomp makes me think I still have those Crit options in my Pokemon Moves. Any time you saw me try to pull off a Sky Uppercut to counter a grab was because I try to Dragon Rush it out of habit.

The Garchomp dittos were pretty close and a lot of fun. You've got me beat on mindgames and wall combos easily though. Need to up my game.

And yeah, I tend to get nervous and back up to see what the opponent will do. Garchomp in particular since he's got a lot of crit options. I'll work on that a bit as I play more.

GGs!

>>26820171
playing garchomp is like playing RPS but telling your opponent what you'll be throwing half the time, then playing something completely different half of those times
sand tomb cancelling is probably the single best asset chomp has because not only can you charge it up to give your opponent a giant tell then cancel into something else completely to fuck up whatever option they chose, the only way out of a fully charged sand tomb is to attack, since the hitbox extends to the entire tornado and will catch your opponent anyways if they decide to "play it safe" and try to jump out of RPS
2[A] 6YY hurts a fuck ton, if you get hit by it once you'll be scared to get hit by it again. once your opponent gets into this mindset and starts deciding to attack out of tomb you can charge cancel into stone edge or running X
if you mindgame someone who's scared enough you can literally push them into the wall and 2A 6YY 2A 6YY ad infinitum from full to empty
but yeah, none of this is worth anything if you're half a field away, so you gotta start hugging bodies

>>26820264
Yeah I only remembered the Sand Tomb cancels a little while ago so I'm not quite at the point where switching up is second nature. But it definitely seems effective when utilized properly. I'm pretty used to attacking out of Sand Tombs but I haven't encountered any Chomps that switch to Stone Edge after. First time facing it myself and shit's scary.

Hopefully I'll improve in that aspect. Blaziken's rushdown style would probably benefit from learning to be more aggressive too.

Also is there a way out of Sand Tomb when I'm bounced off the wall? Not sure if it was the input delay or there's just no window to get an attack in before it grabs.

>>26820356
not sure what you mean by bounced off the wall but if you're talking about recovering from a launch it's the same as normal, you just mash your fastest attack 8Y and pray they don't already see it coming

>>26820382
Bounced was a poor choice of term. Slammed against the wall is what i should say. It always seemed to connect just as I slid down the wall and hit the ground again.

But alright, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the tips!

Bump for DLC

>>26820356
>>26820264
>reading all this stuff
wanted to butt in and give some options and thoughts for your chomps and KFC's about the walloki with chomp

I tend to do 2A, 5YY, 2[A] combos at wall with chomp to keep the phase shift points low, although depending on opponent, shifting phases quickly is a solid option

Blaziken and Chomp have an option against charged sand tomb and stone edge mixup, it loses against run cancel into running X though
for Blaziken it's 8X~R and for Garchomp it's 8A~R. it will beat the charged sand tomb, but blaziken won't get anything out of it, only a mixup at best.

Why do some people use 4X and 6X to represent back and forward in field phase?

Goddamn.

>>26823787
Probably old habit.

Also saying 1/3X or 7/9X is just as confusing I think

>>26823845
Goddammit, it's numpad notation for a reason.

>>26823845
Whoops, it'd be 1/2/3X or 7/8/9X.

Anyone want to go for a few rounds?

Do you guys still do tournies? It's been a while since I've been here. I keep forgetting that we migrated here since I never go to /vp/

is anyone on the code

>>26830594
With enough demand for one, maybe. We had one last month, I believe.

why does a game as good as this have such a dead community.

>>26833060
WiiU.

>>26833082
Thanks for reminding me ;-;. Hopefully Nintendo doesn't do a shit job marketing the NX.

They should bring the arcade version over too desu.

>>26833109
Arcades are fucking dead though. Isn't the WiiU version basically the same anyway?

>>26833125
Not with the patches, no

>>26833125
Unless you're referencing the news about the machines getting pulled from arcadeswhich turned out to be a misunderstanding. Arcades seem to have a much more active community and have tournaments more frequently.

>>26833185
>forgetting to spoiler

>>26833185
I don't know about your location, but you basically need to drive out of city to find an actual arcade here.

>>26833276
Not from Japan, but that's the word I've heard from the community over there.

>>26833309
Japan is a tiny island with high population density, arcades have a chance over there.

Welp, I just got 0-2'd seven times in a row followed by a humiliating derank. Anybody up for some games?

>>26833554

>>26833572
Great, cheers man. Any specific code you want to use?

>>26833604
vgptg is fine

sorry for the wait, had to update

>>26833664
No worries bud, let's go

So many players I know are getting sponsored left and right. They did bring the results however.

>>26769149
Well if thats the case Empoleon's got a shot as a fighter than as well. Supports come in duos and my biggest fear was Empoleon/Scizor being a support combo while Darkrai is the fighter.

>>26833664
Fire Punch is stupid

Hey kids, can you spell bodied? Cause that's what's happening to me right now ;-;

>>26784057
>Does this mean that Machamp isn't shit tier anymore?
Goreson, the player himself admitted Machamp is in the lower half of the tier ladder. However, he practiced so much and he was so in tune with the character that he knows how to use Machamp effectively.

I wish I could do the same.

>>26833981
G-i-t g-u-d

Anyone else in the code?

Well, most of those games consisted of me getting my ass handed to me, but I had fun. Thanks for the games Anon

Shit game

>>26839578
Oh but there is, 2 in fact. S.Mewtwo and Gardevoir.

>>26840058
funny how you managed to misspell R.Pika not once but twice

>>26839578
I'd say Gengar because he's pretty funny, but he's not lethal

I want a Grappler Aggron

>>26840222
>grappler
>in a game with rulebreaking zoners
ha ha ha

>>26825267
Play both and see which one suits your playstyle more.

I personally prefer Chomp since I find his combos and crits more satisfying. Don't put enough time into Zard to give an informed opinion. Just that I find facing them to be a pain.

Push comes to shove: Play both and tag them out when you feel like a change.

Dead game

>>26762973
>5 characters

But the character select only has room for 4 more.

>>26847341
Making space is pretty easy. It's not very likely that we'll get 5, but if it were the case that they released more than 4 they would adjust the size of the icons.

Alright, who do you use as your punshing bag on training?
Charizard for me.

>>26849034
Lucario. He's got 600 HP and the perfect height average.

>>26849034
>using training mode

I wish it had a record function in there.

>>26849034
Depends on what I'm trying to do. But I often just default to Lucario. That or ditto whoever I'm training with.

>>26852177
I wish there was a ditto option. I actually like playing mirrors.

Anyone up for some games?

>>26853221
Gengar.
Anyone that isn't a S/Mewtwo or Charizard.
S/Mewtwos and Charizards.

>>26853154
Nah it's fine, maybe later today if you're still around.

>>26853153
yes
Haven't seen any namefagging but I have seen mentions after matches on rare ocations. Personally I don't mind but we're still in 4chan and all.

>>26853343
Ah shit, sorry bud. I'm free for matches if you're up for it, just give me a shout. I just kinnd of figured namefagging would be helpful in /ptg/ just for matches and stuff

>>26853357
Actually no, that came out as a lie sorry. I haven't asked for games but when I do it looks like I ask during dead hours, and when I come I miss the chance to play with someone who asked.

Anyways, thanks.

Well, I'm free for games again. If anybody's up for it, give me a shout. somebody new/different pls

>>26853457
Ahh I see. No worries, I've only recently found this general, figured I'd give it a go even if it appeared dead

>>26853221
Braixen

Blaziken, Charizard and Machamp.

S. Mewtwo, fucking mirrors and Gardevoir. Main struggle with mirrors and garde is that either their projectiles eat mine or they cancel eachother out.

S.mewtwo has a really good counter and it's hard to anti air his strong air attack, especially charged. And vortex.

>>26853506
I have serious problems as Charizard against S.Mewtwo as well, all those anti-airs really disrupt my moves

>>26853221

Also bump

I don't think they work online. My combos usually do far more damage on training than they do online.

Kek. Good games.

Also, not too keen on giving advice, so sorry if what you're looking for is improvement.

At least with sceptile you should be more aggressive. I think Blaziken is your best character.

>>26856909
God damn it i keep forgetting to quote. >>26856846

Anyone up for a couple of rounds

>>26857573
Sure

God it's ridiculous how easy and stupid throws are. Getting knocked down is a guaranteed throw because of the lack of invincibility frames

>>26853221
Gengar
No one
Pretty much everyone. I don't know why I play this game.

>>26857772
You can break throws on knockdown...sometimes. Depends on if the game's latency wants to fuck you in the face or not.

>>26857772
You can instantly act once you wake up.

Good games, whenever Machamp hits it really feels like it hurts.

I feel like you should've countered more while waking up since I was being so aggressive.

We're going to need a new thread.
