why can't he be this badass in the games ;-;
FINALLY
>>30545565
lmao in the thumbnail it looks cross eyed
>>30545565
Is it coming to WiiU in a free update? If not why should we care?
>mfw they finally stopped using my boy as the punching bag jobber in video reveals
>>30545565
Boy I sure am glad I bought the version of this game nobody cared about.
>>30545565
Wow, I love how he sounds.
He sounds just like a giant metal trident penguin should
What pokemon would you guys want to see as dlc in the future?
Hard mode: no starters and legendary
I choose Skarmory
>those feet
Buying the Wii U was a mistake.
>>30545897
Mimikyu
Is that Sugita?
>>30546011
It really sounds a lot like him
He looks really awkward animated
>>30545897
Either Mimikyu, because it's another one of those novel 'I didn't expect to see that in a fighting game' sorts, but is an absolute rape canon in game. It's be interesting to see how it translates.
My other vote is for Druddigon. Just because it looks cool and seems like it gets forgotten a lot despite the pretty unique aesthetic (one of the only dragons who looks like a fucking dragon). It'd be cool if he could pull off being popular in a spin off game.
Also Skarmory is cool, but I think if there's a bird ever added it should be Staraptor. The original Close Combat bird deserves a spot of honor.
>>30545674
There were people who believed the game would never even come to WiiU. They are in files on the console. The space exists in the roster. The WILL come...but the wait and lack of info are annoying.
>All those ice attacks
Are we sure Pokken just didn't reckon it as Water/Ice instead of /Steel?
So is this likely the last DLC character?
I'm glad we got at least one Water-type starter if it is. Still heavy bias in Fire's direction but I'm glad to just be thrown a bone.
>>30545565
Only one character left that I hope gets in, Floatzel.
>>30545565
Ice Beam looks potent with those ice slides it creates on th ground. I wonder if they can make your opponent trip.
>>30545565
>Dat whirlpool
OK, the fighting seems so unlike a Pokemon game that it looks unappealing. It looks like... Street Fighter but with Pokemon skins. 60 Base speed and he moves faster than Vega...
They really could have made this more than just a generic fighting game to be honest. They could have incorporated Pokemon stats and weakness/resistance and switching and such.

Fuck yes
>>30546774
>DLC character
That implies someone has been made DLC already.
>>30548661
Isn't this DLC, though? You can have free DLC. Even if it's not on the Wii U (it will be), it's DLC for the arcade version.
Day 1 main
He's also my favorite.
>>30549110
You don't download it so by definition it's not DLC. It's just additional content.
>>30549784
>You don't download it
But you do, via patch, right? It's not on the disc.
What is with this game making me like pokemon I usually hate? Empoleon was always in the bottom of my starter tier lists but those animations...
>>30546353
Nah he will just get a mega that works like dhelmise ability but for ice
>>30545565
>blaziken
>empoleon
Might aswell add decidueye
Switch exclusive
Reddit bird would sell consoles
>>30548595
Also a former Chomp, though I switched to Zard. Empoleon looks great. Now if we could just get details on when and how he is coming to console...
>>30550495
Not until Pokken gets ported to the Switch.
>>30545897

>>30549802
Does the arcade version use a disc? I'm not sure how this works.
Not to mention I think DLC applies to content the user personally downloads. Otherwise any patch would be considered DLC.
>Empoleon gets Icy Terrain as a new ability in Gen 8
>All Non Ice and Steel Types get a 1.5 Speed Boost on it, but their accuracy is cut in half for all their attacks
>>30550727
Games with online access usually have an option that the arcade operator can turn on that lets the game download updates when it connects to the internet. (which Pokken does anyway for events)
So how about Evo?

Is Pokken actually good? Is it worth the buy? I've considered getting it multiple times but could never bring myself to do it. I do have friends to play local multiplayer with, if that matters.
>>30550126
Having the complete set of bird starters would be nice, they're my favorites too
>>30551376
I hear it's solid, but with the console version, you won't have access to DLC characters, so it's not entirely fair.
>Pokemon youtube channel once again uploaded more Pokken stuff, this time from EVO
What did they mean by this?
Also, not a huge Empoleon fan but he looks neat and I gotta admit that's a great entrance.
>>30547770
>They could have incorporated Pokemon stats and weakness/resistance and switching and such.
>>30551376
It's my GOTY, so i'd say so. It's also got an amazing soundtrack, the point where it's also my OST of the year.
It's amazingly fun, even when you lose. It's got competitive depth to get gud at but it's also pretty fun even if you just wanna button mash.
All that said, it's not worth getting if you aren't going to play online/with friends, the single player is just a grind against AI.
>>30547770
>incorporated Pokemon stats and weaknesses/resistances
Thank god you're not a game designer. Seriously, type match ups in a fighting game? Jesus christ.
>>30547770
yeah because adding type match ups in smash bros worked so well
if you paid attention they have worked some the mainline games mechanics into some of the moves
eg, sceptile leaf storm lowers his attack and mewtwo has to recover after using hyper beam
>>30551727
Type Matchups sucked in Smash because it just screwed Ivysaur over since there is a ton of fire damage in the game and very little grass and water damage.
>people thinking the new characters won't be added to the Wii U version
like, did you forget where the datamining came from?
>>30550914
That would be awful. Half accuracy? Jesus christ. You'd just be stuck using aerial ace.
i need him in. I NEED IT
so can we get this game on the Switch please?
>>30551376
I've had Pokken since it was released. It's a good game; a lot of depth to the characters and a hell of a lot of stuff to unlock. A lot of mechanics are very arcade-y so that's a fun element considering how few games retain those sort of roots.
However, it's true when people say that its biggest issue is its lack of characters. It really just needs more. Like, ten more would be enough. I'm champing at the bit for these DLC characters, especially because Scizor is my favourite. I'm glad they didn't put only Pokemon with Megas in, or only Z-Moves; it's nice that the tournament in-world has its own mechanics and that helps set it apart from just being "a gen 6 game".
If you've got people to play it with, for sure get it; otherwise it's not so great. Like most fighting games it gets boring fast if you're just fighting either ridiculously stupid AI or frame-perfect cheating AI.
