They just needed to make a fucking Tekken game with a Pokémon skin

They just needed to make a fucking Tekken game with a Pokémon skin.

Not whatever the fuck this is

Please elaborate.

Not OP but it’s just a really bad fighter. No depth or anything, everyone feels the same, gameplay is just god awful.

A 3D arena field with a 2D tracking style like tekken

Not this half digested Naruto Shippuden shit.

How long have you been playing?

Have you even played it?

what am I saying, of curse you havent played it since you are talking out of your ass.

>No depth or anything, everyone feels the same, gameplay is just god awful.
It's amazing hiw just by the first two words i can tell you have never played the game, the rest just tells me you're a shitposter

I thought we established that it's nothing like naruto over a year ago

I payed $60 for it. Played for about 4 hours. Felt sick about it, and traded it in about 3 months later.

>payed

Yes 3D field is a kite game and field shift is a shitty zoning 2D fighter you cant side step in. Fuck off with your fanboyism pokefag there's a reason why pokken wasnt at evo this year.

Nice to know you never played it. Or never actually learnt how to play it.

Anyway post mains faggots, Pokken thread.

Yes. I am not fucking cancer.

>fuck trying something new, they should've just skinned another game

not even roster complainers are as dumb as you

>everyone feels the same
But that's a good thing because they don't actually play the same.

The point is to have a simpler rock paper system of attacks and counters and attacks.

A player can pick whichever toon they like and the controls are straight forward unlike trying to remember 42,000 attack combinations across different game series.

If you want to play Tekken just play Tekken .

>4 hours
So that makes you an expert on the game? Piss off casual

Is PAID you inbred mongoloid.

Sceptile all the way

Been wanting to use decidueye as a secondary, any tips?

>can't side step in
>he can't CADC

Mash buttons because Decidueye is the only OP character in the game.

Im glad this game has a demo. The three available characters actually feel different and really like the idea of changing phases during the fight. Will buy eventually.

Also it has VS CPU mode unlike fucking Tekken 7.

>play pattycake with the buttons
>win

>Also it has VS CPU mode unlike fucking Tekken 7.
WHAT

>Literally defending lack of variation between characters in a fucking fighting game.
Are you fucking serious.

>Game aimed at kids is easy and shallow

Who would've thought

>Decidueye is the only OP character in the game.
>When Gardevoir, Braixen and Chandelure exists

He is OP, but you haven't meet the horrors of facing a good furfag.

>He thinks thats why tekken is hard
Why are Nintendo fanboys who play fighting games like smash and this think they are hot shit for playing the most casual fighters nintendo has to offer?

Tekken isnt even a thousand combos you dumb fuck. This is why white people are hardly in to actual fighters at evo.

Mix up your fury attack > leaf storm > X combo. Every shitty Decidueye online does grab every time, and every Decidueye that thinks they're good does heavy attack every time.

>payed

jesus christ, you're literally 12 and you suck at fucking pokemon user

even fucking smeargle has better base stats than you

As someone who actually plays it, that user is retarded, every character has a different feel and playstyle to them, and there's far more than just the rps system everyone throws around aimlessly

There is variation. Some characters are more range than melee. Some are strogern, some faster.

I'm saying the controls are the same for every character but the end result is unique to the character. That is a GOOD thing in game design.

I didnt say Tekken is hard and I'm mostly thinking of Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, KoF which requires players to memorize multiple different inputs across different characters.

>Chandelure
>OP
I get Gardevoir and Braixen because they destroy me all the time. But is Chandelure really good? Because I fucking suck with it, and that's my favorite Pokemon. Hell, I seem to be so bad it's discouraged me from playing for weeks.

>can't land Hex worth shit because of the weird distance
>always fire a laser when I'm trying to push forward with basic attacks
I can do Field Phase well enough, but I just spam jump > chandelier swing > ground pound in Duel Phase. And Overheat if I'm getting pressured.

Empoleon and Chandelure. Those powerhouses are pretty much polar opposites which keeps things interesting. Easily some of my favorite Pokemons too

You cant have casual matches where you select your opponent in T7, only Arcade and Treasure Battle are available.

In Pokken you can have 1 vs 1 and 3 vs 3 matches against the CPU.

Chandelure is the best Zoner bar Gardevoir, WoW can literally stop a freaking machamp.

Also hex is always better used after WoW since when the recoli of the attack hits the mon is at the perfect distance, I can't help you with the laser tho, that's something you must work on.

>but I just spam jump > chandelier swing > ground pound in Duel Phase

Bro chandelure shine is with you keep atleast 3 bodies away her attacks are slow and in a rushdown you will definetly lose,.

>fast lazer beam that hits across the stage and changes phases

Smog can also put an enemy into hex range

Tekken sucks though and Pokken actually manages to fix many of the issues its father suffers from.

You actually have different playstyle here, there's actual zoning going on.
The movement is also not fucking retarded garbage.

Fuck Tekken.

>her
Yeah the laser thing is my fault because I'm used to games where forward+punch is basically the same move as neutral+punch. It's so weird it goes from a neutral arm swing to a fucking laser when you try to move forward.

Any other techniques you'd recommend for distance? I'm used to up-close characters in other games, but I had to play as my boi in this

The combo is Homing Y > Homing Y > Smog > Hex

lol.

lucarios paws are cute

lmao

In Field phase use Back A or Back X and then spam ranged Y to trigger the phase shift, on duel phase you can literally spam WoW and the occasional midair up+Y for the anti-air and as soon you get your opponent on the floor you can spam Hex.

It's not even, that's the funny part here. OP is a fag who can't into fighting games and it's way too obvious.

any of you that treat this shit like a real fighting game are fucking pathetic

Why don't you inform us what the core mechanical tenets of a true fighting game are so that we may all ascend to your level, user?

Except it IS a real fighting game, everything you people say that don't make smash a fighting is here sonwhat disqualifies it from being a fighting game? Becuase it has pokemon in it? You thick headded idiot

Oh wow I must be stupid. Didn't pay enough attention to notice WoW decreases attack. Pretty sure it probably says so in the movelist, and of course in the main games its whole purpose is to Burn, which lowers attack. No idea why I haven't been spamming A.

bump

As somebody who actually plays pokken seriously you all have absolutely no clue what the fuck you are talking about.

To begin with, it's nothing like tekken at all: Tekken is a 3d plane based fighting game. Pokken's core gameplay and meat of it's combat takes place in duel phase which is a true 2d fighter. The 3d phase is really more of an anti-infinite mechanic that forces a return to neutral and acts as a second "layer" of neutral play then an actual fundamental part of Pokken's gameplay style inside the genre, but even that's a 3d arena fighter rather then Tekken's plane based 3d.

Secondly, to the point of it "has no depth" or "isn't a fighting game", that's absurdly incorrect: Every mechanic, gameplay system, or competitive fundamental that traditional fighters have Pokken also has: Multiple attack buttons, attack heights, characters actually having different inputs and movemlists, cancels, resets, crossups, Oki/wakeup play, baits, setups, footsies, etc. All of that is here. Pokken isn't smash or ARMS or whatever.

As far as it being RPS, it's not any RPS then other fighting games: They all have similar interctions with blocks blocking attacks and grabs beating blocks and so on. All it does is add SFV style focus attacks and have grabs be teched by attacks rather then other grabs. Plus, Pokken is actually LESS chance based then a lot of other fighting games since there's not many 50/50 situations .

In regards to character variety, to claim that they all play alike is absurdly inaccurate, since characters in Pokken are far more different from each other then pretty much any other fighting game on the market right now. Characters not only have unique mechanics they can only do (such as darkrai's nightmare mode) but just how they move and the sort of stuff their normals and specials do varies far more then most other fighting games.

t. somebdy who actually seriously plays pokken

Also i'm going to bed, so I can't stick around to answer questions, but for anybody who actually wants to get into pokken seriously, the competitive community is at discord.gg/pokken and resources get posted to pokkenarena.com

If you want examples of high level gameplay, The Frosty Faustings grand finals from like 9 month ago with Coach Steve/Insaynne vs Thulius is pretty good, as is a good amount of CEO from this past year was also pretty damn good examples of high level pokken play

Chandelure is a pubstomper. She's very good against players who don't know how to deal with her, but she's got the worst frame data in the game so if you get in as long as you know her options and are wary of overheat then she'll melt.

She's actually considered bottom 3 at high level play as a result, though she's still viable and possible to do well with in majors since pokken is absurdly balanced and even the worst characters still get wins.

Twixxie in particular makes Chandy look top tier, the dude is ridiculous.

Pokken is actually ass casually and casuals hate it (hence OP who obviously doesn't actually play fighting games whining about i), it's only good for competitive play.

How active is the community? I remember trying to get into the scene back on wiiu but there was nothing around. Not even locals played it.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to appreciate Pokken Tournament.

Pretty strong here on the east coast but you will meet lots of autists.

>east coast
Fug. Ill probs just join the discord latee

Where we talking? I'm in north FL right now.

CA

Your an autist to bad your addicted to a shitter tekken. The game is bad and nk amount of damage control will save it.

I'm glad that there are still people on Sup Forums who bother to explain mechanics and elements of videogames for more than 2 sentences nowdays, these should be the norm and stupid shit like "I payed for this and played 4 hours" be scorned down more usually.

I play lots of fighting games, but I haven't tried pokkeon because I never got a Wii-U or switch yet, but now I feel like trying it out since you are right, it does seem to offer much more than typical fighter re-skins nowdays.

>non-canon Gen2+ shit
yea nah, i'll stick to emulating Pokemon Stadium thanks

>new stuff scares and frightens me!

the only thing worse than a normie is an old-nostalgia-filled normie encaged in his own room masturbating to his nostalgia toys scared from the outside world.

>spouting 'non canon' bs

You don't belong here

>limb-based fighting game

Never played Pokken but was always curious about it. Thank you for your post user.
