WHO'S THAT POKKEN-MON

It's Empoleon, but hey fun to pretend right?

Pretty fast compared to Darkrai > Scizor. Guess Bamco wants these out the way before the Switch is revealed so they can formally announce the port. Actually, is Scizor even out in arcades? Really want to see some footage of him.

I don't believe Scizor is out yet. But, I am curious to see what Empoleon looks like in Pokken's more realistic art style.

How do you know it's Empoleon?

Was leaked a while back, I believe.

Also Greninja, one of the Eeveelutions, Dragonite, Hawlucha, and/or Registeel?

I don't play Pokken and I don't want to but I like that it's still getting support.
Such an odd concept that pulled through.

Don't forget Ludicolo, Vespiquen, and Kommo-o.

Those are some good picks.

Suicune and Lucario still look so fucking bad

He's likely going to look fine. I am curious to see his gameplay. Before Scizor I saw Empoleon using Sword Dance to summon actual swords, plus other "weapon" attacks to focus on the "Emperor" aspect.

Another Pikachu form.

Don't really care for any of those choices, desu senpai.

But I also forgot Hitmon-Chan and/or Hitmon Lee.

Probably never going to happen at this point.

>Wanting a fat fuck penguin

Hopefully something from Sun & Moon

All 3 people still playing must be hype.

>But I also forgot Hitmon-Chan and/or Hitmon Lee.

Why do people want these so fucking much, they'd be super boring

Why does every pokemon look they're soaked?

I was just thinking today about how Hitmonchan could have an interesting 'feint' fighting style, where you might utilize cancels and backdashes sort of like Sceptile for mind games. Think Steve from Tekken.

bump

I just started playing recently and online is pretty damn busy, honestly. People just don't really talk about it for some reason. Criminally overlooked game.

Hopefully more people start to play once it gets the inevitable re-release on the Switch, assuming more people buy that.

this, it actually sold super well and matchmaking is very active; there's even a pretty active competitve scene' there's just no online presence on the internet

Yeah it's really weird. You'd think people would actually talk about it more since a lot of people are actually playing. But even on here, it gets ignored.

I think it might be because it's on the Wii U?

It was leaked like last year. Something like a month after release.

probably cuz majority of players are casuals or go to other sites like discord

PIKACHU DRESSED AS A MIMIKYU WHICH IS DRESSED AS A PIKACHU, SEEN FROM ABOVE CONFIRMED

>representante not only old popular pokemon, but also actual fighting styles
Gee, I wonder why.

Where is Gallade, damn it.

But there's nothing special about hitmonchan or lee compared to generic fighting game characters.

Which will, in turn, make either of them unique for Pokken.

Besides "generic fighting game character" is very much a buzzword. Look at Ryu in smash, he's the cookie cutter generic fighting game character, and yet he's by far the most unique character in smash.

>still one more slot in the roster if we're adding empoleon
>possible gen 7 rep incoming

i swear to god if i have to watch this slow ass games long ass finals at evo because they went an hour over time again i will make posts in the evo thread about how much i dont like the game

FUCK YES

i actually like pokken

>wanted Swampert
>the other two Gen 3 starters and Gen 4's water starter get in

why the fuck are we hype when this is for arcades... in japan not the the fucking wii u game?

Because it's clear that it will get a Switch port with these new characters and other possible new content.

The top 8 at evo just ended up being all zoners, that's why it was so slow
