>>56791036I'm not playing an arena fighter with a shitty roster and moves that aren't in the game
>>56791036>Croagunk what were they thinking?
>>56791252
>>56791252Croagunk is one of the only good picks dude.
>>56791036Yeah it's the best Tekken game ever made.>>56791045Good news, it's not an arena fighter, it has a great roster and the moves are in the game (whatever this means)>>56791252Popular with sinnohfoeti because he was in the anime, also fills the wacky joke character role
>>56791036Felt like the lifespan of the game didn't last long, but playing Machamp online at launch was incredibly fun.
>>56791274>Croagunk is one of the only good picks dude.Most of the roster is comprised of deserving and befitting Pokemon
>>56791045It's not an arena fighterThe game's core combat is designed around the 2d phase, which is a traditional 2d fighter where each character has a unique movelist with unique command inputs, there's meter, a height system, cancels, just-frames, SFIV style focus attacks and FADC, and concepts like oki/wakeup play, neutral footsies, resets, etc are all relevant. The whole phase 2d-3d shift stuff is basic a a mechanic on top of that 2d base, where shifts to the 3d phase (which happens when the PSP gauge is filled, with different moves adding different amounts of PSP on hit) act as an anti-infinite system that forces a return to neutral, with the 3d phase basically just being an extra buffer of neutral play (since ANY heavy hit, grab, or most specials instant shift from 3d back to 2d) rather then something as fundamental as the 2d phaseSince different moves add different amounts of PSP (or can even reduce or reset the PSP gauge), it's also a resource management mechanic and a way to discourage flowcharting, since you're ideally altering your combo routes in real time based on how filled the PSP gauge is at the moment, or to intentionally go for higher or lower PSP combos to delay or hasten when shifts happen>shitty rosterHow is it shitty? In addition to the obligatory shillmons like Pikachu, Mewtwo, Lucario, and Charizard, there's also super popular ones like Blaziken, Garchomp, Gardevoir; favorites among the more core Pokemon fanbase like Scizor, Weavile, and Chandelure, there's some complete left field picks like Groagunk and Aegislash, you have two of the most popular non-giant legendaries in Suicune and Darkrai; and it covers key FG archtypes like substitute/izuna drop using ninjas, superpowered dark boss, shoto, joke character, and nearly every type and every gen as of the time of relase, and decent amount of quadrapeds, objectmons, kaijumons etc rather then just humanoid ones>moves that aren't in the gameNot even sure what you mean here
>>56791527>Felt like the lifespan of the game didn't last longThis isn't correctIt never caught on super big in the FGC to begin with, but it still was at big FGC majors and regionals with some frequency into 2018-2019, with it only really entirely stopping (outside of side events) getting any till COVID wrecked havoc on FGC events in general, and even then I think it still had a few in 2020, 2021, etc. TPCI supported it at worlds for a longass time, with 2022 being it's last year.Meanwhile, the ranked matchmaking is still somewhat active today, and while there's not a lot of entrants, there are still regular online tournaments: discord.gg/pokken has a weekly, RTG_Global runs a few, devlinhart has one as well, and I think KalamityKTKstarted to run events recently tooSo like, it was never a huge scene, and it's much smaller/less active now then it was in 2016-2018, but it's not dead and it did and is doing better then a lot of other small Fighting Game scenes.
>>56792949The is pretty fun even as casual player just wish it had a better single player and more Pokemon to use like Tyranitar
>>56791036it's fine but ultimately fighting games just aren't that popular and especially don't have much of an overlap with the Pokemon fanbase. a Pokemon platform fighter like Smash Bros would have sold a lot better.
>>56791036I know right? I want a sequel >:(
>>56793828^^^
>>56791036I love Aegislash and scizor coz of this game
>>56791252They were thinking Croagunk is awesome and needed to diversify from just humanoid fighting types. His poison jab is badass. Everyone loves frogs. Brock and Looker have memorable Croagunks.
Hmm…
>>56791036Pokken is among the best fighting games based on an IP that didn't start as a fighting game.Pretty decent world building too.So the fact that it flopped shouldn't be surprising.
>>56792909>>56792949Not reading all that shit, go fuck yourself
>>56796630Rood.
>>56791272Saved.
>>56796630>can't read 4 paragraphsembarrassing
>>56796626>released on the wii u\there's your answer
>>56791036>no venusaurYawn
>>56791036True OP.
bump
>>56791036Dogshit roster
>>56797882but it looks really big on a phone screen frfr
>>56792909>>56792949Hello resident faggot. I'm still not joining your dead shitcord of retard.Pokken flopped btw, and it's not because of your evil smelly Smash boogeyman either.Now go back to your hugbox and keep sucking on Harada's dick.
>>56791281>it's the best Tekken game ever made.>what is 3, PSP, and TT2 and early DoA titles>Only thing Tekken is the title and easter eggs>it's not an arena fighter>gameplay gimmick ripped straight from Naruto shovelware, not even the most refined one eitherWhy are Pokken faggots always gaslighting retards?
>>56796626>Pretty decent world building too.You think that barren piece of shit have any type world-building? That's pretty fucking sad.
>>56805378you jest about zoombas, but shit peddlers tend to crap out essays and 4 hour docs solely to trick adhd zoomers thinking it's a big of a deal and fall for the trap anyways.
>>56793081>ultimately fighting games just aren't that popular This isn't the fucking 00s/early 10s anymore, we live in a time where even Guilty Gear can cross 3 million sales and Street Fighter/Tekken can potientially cross 10 million copies like it's nothing.Pokken's issue is basically doing what modern Smash did in the most unappealing fashion.
>>56791252Kinda like Smash, each time they make a cuck playable, they're a massive disappointment.
Is there a comparison between the leaked and final rooster somewhere?
>>56791036Just give us InfernapeGalladeEmboarEmpoleon,Suicune is just goofy shit
>>56795110but Croagunk is also a humanoid fighting type
>>56805857okay>>56805895What Nintendo game has anything even vaugely like Pokken's phase shift mechanic?>>56807461The leaked roster (though It coulda just been a pitch thing?) had Pikachu Mewtwo, Machamp, Lucario, Gardevoir, and Blaziken like the final roster, but also Croagunk (which ended up being DLC on Arcade/Switch version only), as well as Breloom, Gallade, Keldio, Heracross, Chespin, Pancham, Medicham, and Meloetta, along with one other slot there was no image for
>>56809357t. Hanks
>>56811503who
>>56807626>adding more fire types The base roster is already shit, why make it even worse?
>>56807680Their first "fighting" game was NASB2, don't be too hard on her.
>>56809357>okayApply yourself, cordie.Even the ivyshart spammer is a decent human being compared to your mediocre ass.
>>56805935>barrenThis isn't a thread about the mainline games.Now, keep fuming cuck.
>>56791252>verification not required
>>56812243>This isn't a thread about the mainline games.but enough about the retard japs who commissioned this garbage fake tekken game in the first place.There's not even any crazy or heartfelt arcade endings for any of the characters like any other fighter has. Pokken, despite putting so much into the ugly realism, is a budget as fuck game.
>>56812243Lol.
>>56812472>but enough aboutNon sequitur, you must be pretty dumb.
>>56791036>50+ pokemon>Only 1 phase>Better story>More mainline features(gyms, elite 4 etc)>On more platformsIs all I want from pokken 2
