Not sure, kinda thinking Garchomp though, I'll just have to keep testing characters.

So far, Winter Old Ferrum Town is the best I can think of. Haven't unlocked them all yet.
Garchomp probably.
are there types and effectiveness in Pokken?
>>25670032
not in traditional sense, no
the game's lore is that in the Ferrum region the trainers participate in special "Ferrum Battles" - as long as the Pokemon remain inside the golden ring, their normal type effectivenesses are ignored

If Charizard is so popular how come I never see him online?
So how "competitive" is this game? Kind of just want to play it for fun. Smash has run my competitive spirit into the ground.
Reminder that Weavile can attack people on their wakeup mostly fearlessly because if they wake up with counter you can react and cancel into taunt and murder them

I've decided to main Blaziken but who should my secondary be and what support sets are recommended for Blaziken?
>>25670329
the roster is balanced and it has a surprising amount of deph >>25669432
i'm not fully convinced it will stick around though
>>25670431
I haven't played around with Blaziken a lot but the Jirachi/Whimsicott support seems to be good in theory. A lot of his attacks cause recoil, which is partially fixed by Whimsicott (it restores HP like Cresselia). Whimsicott also allows him to ignore weaker projectiles (like Braixen's annoying fire balls) allowing him to approach the opponents safely. Jirachi is an all-around solid choice since it increases the Synergy Gauge (quicker bursts = higher damage output and free HP restore) and attack power.

CHARIZARD of GARCHOMP?
Which reptilian bruiser is the better of the Power fighters? I'm loving both and not sure which one to sink more time into.
Zard has the unique flight mechanic, more projectile options, and does heaps of damage, but he's a bit less mobile and has some self-damage on powerful moves.
Chomp has higher HP and get lots of cool tricks, and he's crushingly powerful. But I fear he can be a bit predictable sometimes.

Cubone and Diglett or Frogadier and Eevee
Almost every character is tough to deal with if the player figures out my weaknesses, I'm close to mastering Weavile though. Chandelure is obnoxious tho
The People's Chompion

I think it's the best of the Power bruisers. Chandelure is in a class of its own since it's just a zoner with tons of meat on the attacks.

because I still keep overestimating.
They do dumb shit once? Oh they won't do it again
Twice? oh they won't do it again

etc etc
forever
This infinite loop of pain never ends.
So out of curiosity I calculated what is the average HP for this game. Turns out it's about 575.
>>25675197
/v/'s Pokken threads are a mix of angry FGC autists trying to downplay the game as "not a real fighter", sonyggers trying to start console wars with everyone and maybe 10% of posters actually discussing the game. No exceptions.
>>25675221
Hey that's not that useless, it gives ya a ball park of how much damage you need to deal. If they're above it, you just need to hit them more, and if their below it, they're dead. I know that the game is more complex than that but having a plan ahead of time always helps me.Only thing that makes it less useful is the horrendous scaling, hopefully they change that shit soon.
>>25675197

>>136078297
>>25675317
>Only thing that makes it less useful is the horrendous scaling, hopefully they change that shit soon.
That's just about the only issue I have with the battle system - they need to lower the average damage output of the attacks while toning down the damage scaling. Right now it doesn't make much sense to pull long strings of combos since shit scales way too hard and way too quickly. Most people end up sticking to getting one strong hit off, which simply doesn't feel as rewarding as pulling off that one combo you worked out by yourself in the training mode. We already have the phase shift mechanic that prevents the 0 to death combo strings, the intense damage scaling is just overdoing it at this point.
>>25675578
You gave a way better reason to fix it then me, and actual justification as well. I'm more or less happy with how the game is right now, but actually using my combos I came up with in the lab would make this game that much better.This is the first fighter I've actually have had some sort of fun with since Skullgirls launch.
Can someone break down what these different phases are in this game?
I've just been watching videos of the game and I don't seem to understand why there is a switch or why it's incorporated?
I get that some of the game is in 2d and sometimes it's 3d, but how does the game switch phases? Is it automatic? Is there a certain trigger?
Also, do the phase changes make it awkward to play?
>>25675776
It's mainly there to make it different then Tekken, at least thats my guess.
The match switches phases from 3d to 2d, or vice versa, when you either deal enough damage or use a certain move, such as Garchomp's grab. 2D plays like a basic fighter, and lets you deal more damage, where 3d lets you run around and zone(or spam its basically the same thing).
The phase changes are awkward for all of 2 secs, until you realize how you can stay in the phase you want.I'm sorry for the wall of text anon but I hope this helps some what, even though I'm tired as shit.
>>25675941
No, that was great. Thanks, anon :).
>Until you realize how you can stay in the phase you want
About that, so if certain moves trigger phase change wouldn't that just be a pain in the ass? Let's say we're battling, and we both prefer different phases, and we each know the moves to cause the switch. Our entire battle is just a switching of phases every few seconds.
I can see how one may think of that as an "intense and close battle" -- but wouldn't it just get annoying?
I'm not hating, just being skeptical before purchase.
>>25676054
Well in my experience, the phases don't change rapidly. Matches are short enough and if you want to stay in a phase/switch you can do it without interruption, if your good. If your about equal to your opponent, most pokemon can put in work in either phase so it makes no sense to constantly flop.
Sorry for replying so late, I'm mainly on the VG thread.
A'ight, so do stats actually do anything in this game? I reached level 100 with Suicune and I just put 100 points in attack, cuz fuck it, and I don't feel like I'm lacking in defense or anything, nor do I feel like I do any extra damage.
>>25669385
>Braixen
>Weavile
>I don't have them all unlocked yet so I just use the Emolga for Braixen and Toxicroak one for Weavile
>Neos City
>Thus far Sceptile
What the fuck do I do about Braixen's Fire Blast in duel phase? CADC doesn't seem to be very effective in that situation
>>25676550
>Braixen/Weavile
You and your brothers are all my worst enemies
Question:
Can you actually change the time limit for matches when playing in LAN, or local?
I watched a tournament the other day, and 50% of the matches ended with time up. Was really anticlimactic and boring to watch. Especially happened often with zoners like Suicune.
I was thinking of getting this game, but if all competitive matches are just going to end because time ran out i'd really not be interested anymore.
If you can change the time limit then at least that would mean that they could take care of that with tournament rules if it becomes too much of a problem.
>>25676609
It shames me to say I also dabble in Suicune occasionally, but not often.And Lucario and Gardevoir when I'm playing with friends
>>25676632
Yeah you can make it infinite time, there are other options too, I think 120 seconds is the maximum that isn't infinite.
>>25676632
I don't have anyone to try this with but you can set the time/rounds for single battles so I imagine it would be the same for local versus.
>>25676640
Suicune's cool though, I ain't got a problem with him... yet.
>>25676681
Honestly I don't see why people have a problem with zoners like Suicune in this game. It's Pokémon, of course it's gonna be projectile based, the entirety of field mode is based around projectile spam. In duel mode it's easy as shit to approach zoners, just shield and dash.
Haven't played much online, but playing the Iron League right now and Suicune, Garchomp, and especially Charizard are pissing me off.

>>25676875
I always thought Garchomp was pretty neat but I never raised one ingame. Dragon and Ground are two of my favorite types, but I mostly kept to other Dragons. I think the ban stigma among my friends turned me off a bit. Pokkén is rapidly elevating him into one of my favorite Pokémon. Seeing him in motion with the theropod dinosaur movements and all the attitude the devs gave him is awesome.

WAT HOW
>put 45 Skill Points into Defense for my Garchomp to tank hits
> Absolutely no noticable difference in the amount of damage I take
Well, I guess I'm gunna just put everything into Attack, then. At least I sorta noticed a difference there.
>>25677981
>>25676918
At least it can break guard. If your aim is true it really is powerful, but the risk is there.
>>25678932
I think they're referring to the back-A Stone Edge counter, which is an awesome move.
>>25678970
My understanding is that Defense is actually best. Attack doesn't cover Supports, but Defense lowers all external damage taken. I am absolutely in the Attack camp by default, but as someone explained the universal boost is preferable. Besides, living longer means more chances to do damage, even if it's only a 10% increase to bulk.
>>25679111
So at 100 points, how much of a boost to stats do you actually get?
>>25679159
Not that anon but each point is around .01%, so 10%
>>25679200
Huh. Honestly thought it'd be more than that at 100 points.

>>25669385
Maining my boy Garchomp, trying to pick up Mewtwo and Blaziken.
I use either the Dragonite set or the Reshiram set, I'm still not done with single player and they help clean up the second round quickly.
I like the Snow stage and the Haunted House. Magikarp festival is also great.
Zoners like Suicune and Braxien give me trouble, because just like any other fighting game, I play way too aggressive and typically lose to patient zoners.
Charizard has been my homeboy since Day 1, but I'm not sure I have the hang of him in this game. I feel a little too sluggish despite all the power, and the self-damage on some of those strongest moves is a turn-off.
I picked up Garchomp first and I'm through the Blue League in story mode, so I've gotten really comfortable with him and his playstyle. Even though they are both Power class they feel very different. I'm hoping to at least secondary Charizard. Does anyone have any tips?
Why don't more people play Machamp? He's my fav
>>25679600
Because /vp/ are shit when it comes to fighting games so we either know we can't use it properly and go for spam-easy characters or believe other shitters' youtuber tierlist that places him low-tierp
>Nobody uses Magikarp/Pachirisu or Farfetched/Electrode
I'm kinda reliant on Magikarp+Support focused cheer to break combos and start my own. I've also been shielding a lot, so Electrode is pretty handy, and Farfetched can be a good combo starter.

maining Charizard, learning how to combo with him. This is my first ever fighting game.
He seems pretty good, fighting bots on hard and I haven't lost yet. His synergy burst is amazing and he hits like a tank. My only problem is recovering from people landing a lot of moves on me. Still learning all of the mechanics and everything but so far having fun.

Pokken makes it really easy to git gud with a character. Just go into the Dojos and practice the moves and the combos until you can breeze through them all and you'll start kicking ass. The only 'mons I've even tried so far are Gengar, Garchomp, and today Weavile, and I'm proficient with all of them I'd say.

Dunno yet, again havent really played it for long.
I say all the "havent played" because the game itself feels very odd to me, and not in the interesting way, more so the "I dunno how to feel about this." way.
Is there a magical secret to enjoying this game? Im kinda hesitant to play it again.
>>25691299
You can't expect to be great at the game immediately, especially when you have to learn more than your main to know what exactly is the most effective thing to use against which characters. Just practice, a lot.
How do I git gud at Chandelure? Speaking of S.Mewtwo, I tried the whole "spam A until dead" approach on the second fight of SM2 but it didn't work as effective. Any other ideas, or will I have to wait until the final battle for it to be effective?

Dunno yet, I'm gonna say Machamp's homo festival because I don't know how to counter such an amazing close-up range yet.
>>25681732
that was a discredited rumor, anon, think of it like this
Nintendo console generations are usually 5-6 years apart, the Gamecube did pretty poorly, but Nintendo didn't just give up on it, did they? just relax, we've got at least until the end of 2017 for game releases
>>25691726
That got reallewd, real fast.
Any tips for a burgeoning Garchomp player?
>>25691835
I'm in the same boat as you, but I noticed he could be a real tricky motherfucker if you know how to use Dig and use neutral X (the drill dash move) up close to ram them into the wall and make them smash against it, then do it again for some quick damage. Running stance makes Garchomp able to complete combos better, so do that if you find a decent string. Hopefully I'm not talking out of my ass, I'd love to see a few guides for this game eventually.
Would you guys join a /vp/ "lobby"? It'd be pretty easy to set up, all we'd have to do is go into a friendly game with a VS code no one else is using and set the opponent to Anyone. No need to add anyone as friends.
>>25691860
Nice!
Great tips. I appreciate it.

So few Gengar mains. This guy is great. He pretty much just fucks shit up at all stages from all distances.

>>25699700
Don't goto /v/
if you do, they will take what soul you have, shit on your tastes, and expect you to be a gud at what you do. Stay with us anon. Also get a pro controller, charge it fully, and charge it when you need to. It comes with a 6 ft cord.
Any one here who has one, will take you it's an amazing controller.
>>25699873
Have a pro controller already but there are games that you need the pad for like Xenoblade and Kirby.
>>25699892
nah, not for Pokken. It's the best game with this controller as with Smash, Mario Kart and I wish Splatoon.
>>25699915
You're misreading my post, should I buy it for those games that require the pad to play or should I buy an actual game.
Because I honestly can't decide.I would go with both but I'm only dropping £50 this time round and I also want a Jetman figure.
>>25699087
I've seen more Gengar mains than Gardevoir, seriously no one uses her.
>>25699962
The controller is amazing. Get it. The figure can wait. I would say that due to the fact if its a 50 buck figure, you should wait for something like that if you get not real use out of it. I can't really talk cause I collect amiibos.
Most games right now, you don't need the Pad for but for some dumb reason they are trying so fucking hard to push it on people.

Dude, I already have a controller.
>>25700022
the way you said it made it sound like you didn't. My bad.
>>25700032
It's all good anon.
I've made up my mind anyway I'll just get the battery seeing as my back log is getting larger than I want it to be and I have FE and Star Fox on preorder.
>>25700016
Not the same Anon, but I use the pad because my TV is dead, and because I don't have the controller. The gamepad might be inferior, but when you don't have the controller or a TV, it's definitely the best option.
I need help with gengar, i can't seem to get any good damage before i'm destroyed
>>25700190
Practice with it.
>>25700171
I can understand that. I would say do that too. considering I went out for a 100 and got myself a monitor for my WIIU was prolyl the best idea I ever did. It's literally only for my WiiU. once in a while for my other PC too
>>25700274
I only used my TV for my Wii U at this point, I ought to get it repaired if it's possible, or buy a new, cheap one to replace it.

I've used it a couple times already, set it up with a friend in the corner at a Smash Bros tourney last weekend, plus once after that when I was visiting said friend. It works, no lag, 60fps, all characters and supports instantly available. Just wish you could actually pick stages.

Currently at C3 rank with Garchomp.
Thinking about who to secondary still.
Support is always frogadier and eevee for that sweet sweet attack boost.

>>25708323
>>25708632
That works in Smash?
>>25710163
No, Smash Bros has no LAN mode, silly. You don't need two Wii Us to get 60fps 8-player Smash. I was saying that I went to a Smash Bros. local, and together with my friend we used two TV setups to host some LAN Pokken matches whenever the consoles weren't needed for Smash.
How do I stop myself from mashing the buttons?
I'm not used to fighters, but I keep finding myself just mashing the buttons, especially if I get stressed out. How do I stop with this shit?
>>25710266
sounds like fun
>>25710337
Are you me? I also litteraly do one or two attacks the entire match. Whenever I try to do an advanced combo I get destroyed before I can even think about hat buttons I need to press.
>>25710337
>>25710622
Whenever I try to do the combos, I set up a pattern with it. Also I find not looking at the screen helps, so you can focus more on your button work. Obviously that's risky in it's own way but it's to get your buttons down

How many times do I have to beat the god damn chroma league to unlock The Tournament and the Champion Battle? and the rest of the fucking characters? I've been going at it almost the entire week. I've beaten the Chroma league at least 4 times now.
Main Braixen since she's my waifu.
Sub Charizard cuz that nigga is cool as fuck and stronk.
Phos Volcano all day nigga.
What's the fastest way to grind money? I've been fighting the grand master of the Ferrum League for around 45.000 PGs each time. Can I get the bonus money for winning tournaments again?

Aren't he and Sceptile very difficult to learn? It makes sense that more people would go with easy to use, spammable characters.
>>25714095
I own Pokken and I would say no.
Imagine if you got Smash Bros and the only stage in the game was Final Destination and you could only 1v1 there, and there's only 16 playable characters. It's bare bones as shit. The offline is repetitive and almost pointless because you know for a fact there is nothing worth unlocking besides the mewtwos, if you don't want to play a Mewtwo you could skip it entirely. It only reinforces bad habits that you will take into the online and will get you killed. I've been playing the offline mode for four hours now and nothing is more difficult than button mashing. I started to just look around the backgrounds and mash Y until the opponents were dead.
Its a fun, solid fighting game. But its bare bones as fuck. No tournament mode, no tag team, no voice chat, no ring outs, fuck all to unlock, etc. The only thing to do in the game is essentially go to the same stage since they are all just flat circles with nothing in them and 1v1 the same 7 pokemon that people actually play as over and over infinitely. If that's okay with you then go for it, but I'm letting you know this game is extremely lacking in content and has no DLC announced or planned for it.
>>25716057
toot toot here comes the shill train
this guy has got it all wrong
Strictly speaking as a Pokémon fan who has NO experience with fighting games, Pokken is pretty impressive. There's a lot to learn just combo wise with each character, I've yet to find one who isn't fun as hell. I've had the game since it came out and I still haven't tried Gardevoir, Lucario, or either chu just cuz I've been so hung up on having fun with everyone else.
I'd say it's definitely worth picking up if you're just a Pokémon fan. If you're a pretentious /v/irgin, you'll never be happy anyways, so just hang yourself and get it over with.
>>25716057
>Imagine if you got Smash Bros and the only stage in the game was Final Destination and you could only 1v1 there
So it's Smash Bros.
>>25716643
It's smash brosmelee
>>25716643
Even if that were true smash has 58 characters, much better/more music, and tons more stages to look at because of omega stages. Plus that game has doubles, customs, items, stamina mode, equipment, blah blah blah. The single player mode has classic, adventure, master orders, crazy orders, events, co op events, trophy collecting, custom collecting. Etc.
Even tourneyfags such as myself still can play on 9 different stages, with or without customs, and either doubles or singles with a cast three times the size of Pokken (if you choose not to count the bottom 12 characters). Smash just has a ton more to do in it, plus a better fighting system in my opinion.
But I don't want to just compare this to smash.
>>25716637
>Strictly speaking as a Pokémon fan who has NO experience with fighting games
With all due respect, you must understand your bias is why you are defending this game. If it featured humans instead of pokemon you likely wouldn't have cared about it or bought it. Its incredibly lacking when it comes to content compared to games it competes with.
The core of Pokken is solid, don't get me wrong. Its a fun, deep fighting system and looks great. Its fun to play with the pokemon you like. But that's all there is to do.
Soul Caliber has a character creator, story mode for every character, weapon master mode, adventure mode, etc.
Mortal Kombat has tag team, tournament, tons of unlockables, challenge modes, alternate rules, etc.
And the elephant in the room, every single fighting game I can think of has a larger roster than Pokken by far. Yes SFV has 16 characters, but they are releasing a new one every month for free.
>>25716057
Dude 90% of shit you just said is in every fighting game ever. Smash has all of that sure, but you need to realize smash also has completely different mechanics which is why it has all that stuff. Also like >>25716643 says you basically described both melee and 4. All of the unlockable characters in 4 suck dick and everybody goes to the same layout in both games.
>>25716722
I elaborated in the post above yours, which addresses some of what you said. But keep in mind it makes little sense to dismiss a large amount of content just because in your personal opinion you don't like it.
There is more to do in every other fighting game on the market then in Pokken. How much value a person places on all those other modes and options differs from person to person, but it's still a fact in this case.
If you don't want to do anything in Pokken other than queue up online and 1v1 the same 10 different characters over and over again then that's great that it works for you. The other anon was asking if Pokken was worth buying and I was trying to help him make a more informed purchase, that's all.
And about characters sucking in smash, that game has been out for years now and the competitive scene for that game is no longer in its infancy. Even with years of people improving and fine tuning their play, there are a lot more viable characters in that game then the 16 in Pokken, assuming that all 16 characters in Pokken are balanced and useful, only time will tell.
>>25716718
>your bias is why you're defending this game
>defending
Okay despite my declaration of shillage, I'm not trying to defend it at all. I'm just stating that if, like me, you're only in it for the Pokémon, then Pokken is undeniably worth picking up.

I've noticed low level Pikachus like to pull off super long combo strings that do very little damage, more time consuming than anything.
So I just picked up the Pokken Tournament Pro Pad for 25 bucks without owning the game.
Am I a terrible person for doing so?
>>25720298
Where did you get it? Gamestop or Amazon?
>>25720298
I would say not yet
Are you getting the gamesoon?
>>25720298
Far as I'm aware, it's a killer SNES controller substitute for PC, but it's only usable with Pokken on a Wii U. So technically not a bad purchase if you're an idort who likes emulating.
