Now with an OP that isn't shit.
>FAQ
http://pastebin.com/5aUvHT7j
>What is Pokken Tournament?
Pokken Tournament is a game made by Namco Bandai that is a blend of Tekken and action-fighting games like the Naruto Shippuden series made by the same developer.
>So what are the basics?
You have three basic attack buttons: Weak, Strong, and Pokemon Attack.
Using certain button combinations you can use Counter Attacks or Grabs which can counter attack moves or grab a blocking/shielding opponent respectively.
These form a triangle:
Counters beat Basic Attacks, Grabs beat Counters, and Basic Attacks beat Grabs. Guarding protects against everything but grabs, but certain attacks will do a small amount of damage even through guard.
In Field Mode your weak attacks are typically projectiles and strong attacks are typically melee attacks that track/home. In Duel Mode, weak attacks and strong attacks are both typically melee and not tracking.
>Field Mode and Duel Mode? What is this?
Field Mode is the initial stage of combat where you may move your pokemon freely, and Duel Mode is the second stage of combat that is more akin to other fighting games where you fight on a 2D playing field. Doing enough damage, using certain attacks, or grabbing your opponent will shift play between these different combat stages.
>How do I play online? What is a VS code?
After completing the initial menu tutorial and picking a partner pokemon, pick Online Battle from the main menu / world map.
VS codes are basically passwords.
>I have the game and this chick's voice is making my ears hurt
Luckily for you, Japanese voices are a menu option.

My god he's so weird.
He can't win trades at all with regular attacks because of shit reach and non-standard combo ability.
Plus all those teleports make him hard to control.
There's a nugget of gold beneath that ghastly exterior, but damn if it isn't hard to grasp.

Hi John :^)
>>135738195
Fuck you John you're still a faggot.
I rarely ever skip dialogue in games, but I'm just mashing through all this text. I don't care in the slightest about the story of this game.
>>135738430
the story is pretty shit desu senpai
>>135738271je suis monte
oh there's another caveat to longer combos
you risk phase shift interrupting your string
>>135738430
>Dark Mewtwo suddenly barges in and turn the entire stadium into a desolate frozen wasteland

>>135736029
You get used to looking at it.
>>135738269
Leave, you Frenchie.I've missed you
>>135738430
this is one of the worst single players i've had to sit through in a while
What supports are best for Pikachu and Lucario?
Am I supposed to combo as Suicune or do I just play keep away the entire game?
>>135738430
Story aside, the single player is also fucking atrocious. Thankfully I don't care about single player and I'm just going through it for unlocks but I feel bad for anyone that was expecting a soul calibur experience.
can you change the color palette on your pokemon or nah?
Does anyone else here kind of feel like the universal attack system kinda dominates the neutral game for melee characters so much that it actually makes unique and identifying melee attacks almost useless?
>>135736052
Don't blame me for the rabbit ears, I hate the default hair style and this is all myLucinaAmiibo is getting me.
>>135739025
Nah.
>>135736052
Just out of interest, do any pokes have a guaranteed followup to their counter?
The only attack I can true combo it into with chandelure is burst, strong forward is the next best but my opponents keep jumping out before it can hit.
Also PSA make sure you turn freeze on in free training, it shows how long the enemy stays in hitstun so you can see if your combos have any escapeable windows.
>>135739025
No but if both players pick the same pokemon you sometimes get a palette swap.
Except for pikachu, who gets fur pants.
100% practical
>>135736052
>>135739375
I grab their getup a lot after a counter knockdown.
>>135738271
je suis monte!
seriously what the fuck is this
>>135739437
>literally no damage for the limit
It looks great but for what purpose?
>>135739501
Ah, I see you're getting Moon version.
A fine choice.
>>135739048
Go for whiff punishes more. Blocking and punishing works, but it's not as good as footsies.
>>135739636
100% sure Game Freaks disallowed Namco to use alternate colors for Pikachu.
>>135739636
>>135739636

>>135738827
It wouldn't feel as bland if the roster was a little bigger.
Going through a fighting tournament with hundreds of trainers that all pull from the same roster of 14 Pokemon gets old really fast.
>>135739375
Braixen has one if it crits. Its in her combo dojo.
>>135739636
Cool to see Pamperchu getting some canon representation
>>135739981
OH PLEASE GOD NO
Does anyone know any good attack combos for Gengar besides his combos in the combo trainer?
>>135739981
I CAN'T UNSEE IT NOW
WHY
FUCKING WHY
I'm loving Gardevoir so far. Her and Chandelure were the easiest for me to pick up.
Sceptile makes no sense.
Charizard is the most complex Power character.
>>135739750
but even Smash slightly changes the shade of pikachu's fur color on alts in addition to the silly hat.

>The Tyrantrum animation on Dragon Summit
Jesus christ, guys...
>>135739689
Basically just because.
If your burst is almost run out too, might as well.
>>135739964
roster's fine for me, i just wish it wasn't a mindless slog through babby tier cpus so i can unlock shit
Do fully charged counter strikes always count as crits?
>>135740431
>crits
this isn't tf2
>>135740384
This too, yeah. It's just obnoxiously long.
I mean I like the fact that there's secret characters, but jesus christ I've been going through this for ages. I just got to the part where you start fighting the trainers on different parts of the map after the Red League and they're the first CPUs that have offered any challenge whatsoever.
Is it just me or are Gardevoir's field phase projectiles a bit underwhelming? She seems to sort of lose trades with other zoning characters, and fast characters can just dodge them. Once she's in duel phase it feels like she gets a lot stronger.
>>135740546
Tekken series has had an obnoxiously long single player full of shit AIs since at least Tekken 5, maybe earlier.
Bamco thinks this kind of thing is good for some reason.

I think it actually isn't 3000 HP, they just did that so you don't win with time outs.
>>135740861
If you win the first round, and lose the second round (which you probably will), you get permanent synergy burst for the third round.
Which if you play gardevoir like i do means >>135740968

God no wonder I kept getting my shit pushed in my land sharks and smogonchickens, that teleport makes a world of difference. And protip to other Gardes out there, swapping controls so you can reliably use your long range attacks while charging moonblast helps a shitton, so do that when you can.
>>135742680
That's be fucking dope, honestly. I think Jolteon or Flareon would be a good Eeveelution if a Eeveelution gets in at all.
Or maybe Glaceon/Leafeon.

>>135743375
Yikes!
Braixen main here. Is Light Screen even a good move? It counters the projectile, but the counter is in melee range, so it doesnt hit the opponent
>>135742907
can you explain how you use teleport? it seems useless to me
>>135743314
1 ticket to FLAVOR TOWN
>>135743314
That's some good shit RIGHT HERE.
>>135743526
Don't forget about your sunny day. Improved version gives much more range and push.
Also use it to get sunny day when you're a safe distance from the enemy since it casts pretty quickly
>>135743526
After Sunny Day it's 3x longer, and it does counter-type damage.
Use it like you would use Athena's Psycho Shield.
I love Braixen but is it me or is it weak as fuck?
>>135743375
Never mind did it :^)
Are there any good weavile tutorials?
I find myself relying on the same 1 or 2 combos and getting my shit pushed in every game.
Also are there any characters who play similarly to weavile I should check out?
>>135743902
just you senpai hes op
>>135743771
>Also use it to get sunny day when you're a safe distance from the enemy since it casts pretty quickly
You realize you can charge Sunny Day from shield, right? You can even start charging it from other attacks.
You know what else you can charge like this?
MOONBLAST.
>>135743314
Holy shit
>>135743771
>>135743834
Alright, I'll make sure to use it with Sunny Day. I've mostly been charging sunny day via FIRE BLAST but now i know theres an alternate option
I know they said they won't do DLC, but what do you think the odds are of getting Super Pokken with more characters on NX?
>>135743902
I've had a hard time finding many combos but I've been doing well enough with her
Looking at http://smashboards.com/threads/sycamores-lab-braixen-move-combo-compendium.433431/ and the first one listed is down y + LS (light screen), but I can't even get the light screen to hit in training mode, can anybody else pull it off, am I missing some sort of cancel tech?

I don't wanna be angry all the time!
>>135745147
On a stationary cpu in training mode? What pokemon is it, I've tried gengar and machamp, but don't think opponent affects the comboability
>>135745240
Testing with gengar and yeah it won't hit him. worked with charizard
>>135736661
>that mexilaser
>that jump length grab
i have not played any of the other mons because i cant stop playing the chandelier
>>135745517
Fuck that means opponent does slightly affect combos, that's annoying, thanks a lot for the help, I just give up after two randoms
>>135745132
You're making that up right?right?
>first Shadow Mewtwo match
>cutscene happens and yadda yadda
>champion instantly says a second after he leaves "huh that was weird ALRIGHT CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING THE GREEN LEAGUE"
These fucking dialogs.
I'm pretty sure to maximize your Bonus in single player, you need to land at least one Burst Attack.
Can anyone who's still slogging through single player confirm or deny that landing burst attacks increases bonus?
>>135745673
s-sure haha
>>135745662
I'll test it on each character. So far out of charizard, gengar, weavile, and garchomp it only works on charizard
>>135745707
The story and dialogs are so fucking bad they're good.
>>135745830
It's probably just LS's tiny hitbox, the rest of the list was going without a hitch, including down y to SD LS
>>135742319
It's basically a counter. If your opponent attacks when it is deployed it uses explode.
>>135745707
Green Champion's voice acting was amazing.
I haven't seen a dub this good since the 90's.
>>135746128
I switched to Japanese as soon as I fucking could, are there any youtube clips of the terrible dub?
Are there any Pokemon you haven't played as yet?
I'm trying to give everyone a fair shot, so I'm leveling each Pokemon up to 10 before I move on to the next one.
Currently leveling Machamp now, who I really like a lot. Haven't touched Braixen, Mewtwo, Chandelure, Suicune, Weavile, Charizard, Garchomp, or Shadow Mewtwo yet.
It's made the story mode a bit more bearable because every 10 or so battles I get to try a new character.
is the burst attack damage the same regardless of how much burst meter you have left?
>>135746286
I didn't even want Japanese. I just turned that shit off as soon as I turned on the game before I even played a match.
>>135745917
Uncharged it only works on Charizard and chandelure,
OH FUCK I WENT AGAINST TWITCH PLAYS POKEMON.
What are the stars at the end of a match based on? Defense and Technique are always low for me even if I take 0 damage and do all the tutorial combos/never use a move more than once/use as many of my moves as possible. I need the 5 star titles.
>6 standards
>2 technicals
>3 speeds
>4 Powers
Not sure what Shadow Mewtwo is yet. It's pretty lame that they didn't make those categories more equal.
>>135746721
Yeah and some of the FT ending ones after FC seem character specific, which is annoying, like back y charge + up x + SD FC + FT
>>135742860
>his burst is Oni
>burst attack is ultra 2
I wonder if the game realizes that all I'm doing is MOONBLAST and if it's penalizing me for being stale.
>>135746752
Who won?
>>135741140
No, it's 3k HP. I was paying careful attention to how much damage my pokemon did at all times. Same damage against S Mewtwo as it does against every other pokemon.
