I've also noticed that "know your enemy" feels arguably more important here than in any other fighter I've played.
The amount of small quirks a move may have attached to it, how punishable it actually is versus how it looks and so forth.
It can be really easy to lose against the cheesier tactics when it's coming from an opponent you haven't faced much.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
the stats barely matter, like 100 Attack only increases your actual damage by 4 I think
Yeah, while there are a decent number of photo ops during the intro and outro for each Pokémon, the option to disable HUD for clean mid-match screens would be great. It might be in there, but I doubt it.

So I took on a friend of mine earlier tonight via online multiplayer, and here's the first of two videos where I kick his ass.

Got my first rage quit from a predictable Scizor. Sorry, not sorry.
I'm normally utterly horrible at fighting games and usually give up trying after like an hour of playing lol. Trying out Weavile and I'm having a blast playing friendlies even when I'm getting wrecked. I'm 3-7. Just won a match against a Gengar in a nailbiter though. Down to round 3 and I had 1 health left while my opponent had like 200. We were in field phase and I managed to counter into duel phase and then comboed my way back for the victory. I also have no idea what I'm doing so if there's any videos or things I should watch I'd love to learn.

Did they ever mention why Greninja isn't in the game? I would have figured with his popularity he would be a shoe-in. And it can't just be the excuse that he's already in Smash when so are Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo and Lucario.

I found a Weevile player that had 25 games and only 2 wins. I had to throw her a bone.
Get online and instead of going into a match you can look up replays for different Pokemon or players.
Go to my town or what ever it is and do the training. Go to the action dojo and let the game take you through every move of Weevile and get a good idea of what it's capable of.
Greninja is going to headline Pokken 2 Turbo in like 5 years. They gonna save that highlight for later.
Ahh will do. I did like 4/5 of the trainings and did 5/6 combos for Weaville. I actually did remember to use one of the combos from the combo training. But yeah I want to at least be competent before jumping into ranked. Game is insanely fun and again even when I got wrecked I was surprised to even get a round off of some players.

...aaaaaaaand part two. I don't feel bad about scoring a perfect, but I can't believe I let myself get beat by his Blaziken. :/

I dont know if this tip has been brought up for new players, but its helpful to go into the full move list and actually read what everything does. There are a lot of little details they put in there like counter pierce and things like that.

Greninja will be a cover 'mon for Pokken 2. Along with whatever Gen 8 Pokemon is most popular, Pikachu and Lucario / Zoroark slash fanfiction.

They probably wanted to be a bit different from Smash.
Those four Pokemon you listed are basically required to be in a Pokemon game. Greninja isn't really.

Is there a change log anywhere for the gameplay and balance changes between the wii u version and switch need something to study while I wait for the game to get here tuesday
At the end of the day videos and guides can give you a basic idea of how to do the most effective things but you are gonna need to play a lot to understand how everything get's applied in a match. Don't worry about your ranks and all that up front check your ego at the door take some lickings and use each loss as a way to understand when you either did something wrong or they did something very right and learn from it

The game is fairly simple in nature that it's fun to pick up right away but as time goes on you'll get better just playing other people make note of when players have a habbit of doing certain things so you can predict and react as need, get used to dashing out of your counter move without letting it go off, learn how your character of choice get's around smaller characters can zip past a lot of things to get in.

I've checked the online replay feature and you CAN remove the HUD, no camera movement or fast forward/rewind to help things out but you can also view the match from either player's perspective.
Though due to the various visual effects and such I've yet to make any cool dynamic shots, just a lot more Decidueye and now I'm filling up my Switch photo memory.
Damn where's that micro SD I pulled out of the new 3DS gone?

The second trainer for today's daily is a boy with the tag that mentions their boyfriend. That's pretty cool.
I don't think the NPC trainers are randomly generated, either.

Oh nice, thanks for the tip about removing the HUD. I went back to some replays and tried it, resulting in some decent shots:

So, I am terrible at this game, similar to most fighters. It's way deeper than I thought it was. Still really enjoyable though. Any tips for Chandelure?
Spiritreaver
Member
Think I'm gonna pick up Chandelure to go with my Empoleon. Mostly because I want a zoner and it was out of her or Suicune, and I think I like Chandelure more. Plus I actually use Chandelure in the main games. Incoming hate mail for playing her.
Either way, had some great matches today. It's nice when you play someone in friendlies, they are your skill level, and choose to rematch. Those have been the best sets for me.

Braixen nooooo! D:
This game has turned me into a total Braixen fanboy.
Smash Switch should bring back the Pokemon Trainer concept.
Pokemon Trainer Red with Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard.
Pokemon Trainer X with Chespin, Braixen and Greninja.
Pokemon Trainer Sun with Popplio, Torracat and Decidueye.
(Trainer X would be based on the girl, of course. Best design!)
(Also note I alternated the typing for each evolution stage.)
I know X/Y are no longer the current hotness, but my goodness that trio would be perfect.
One way or another I want Braixen playable in Smash. ;_;

My LAN adapter has got to be borked. Matches in WiFI never have any noticeable lag (outside of standard delay). No stutters or pauses in gameplay, despite multiple matches. However the moment I dock the system I run into 2-3 laggy matches at least.
Either it's in my head or something is wrong with my adapter/router, not sure how to figure out the deal.

I thought Darkrai was difficult to play and then I tried Croagunk.
He's cute though.

I haven't tried about 75% of the roster because I always end up just sticking with Blaziken. I'm not crazy about his design, but I love the way he plays. Makes me feel a bit like I'm playing Tekken.
Aftdr putting in a few more hours, I think I'd consider this one of my top 5 favorite games on the Switch so far. Way more depth and finesse than I expected from a Pokémon fighting game.

Your enthusiasm for the original is what encouraged me to pick this up on Switch. I'm loving it!!I have the game now

Blaziken was my main on the Wii U.
Probably the simplest character in the game to use, and you get to be a kung-fu chicken.
I still play Blaziken occasionally, but Scizor is my main now (Scizor was my most wanted character for the original Pokken)

It helps that the creators seem to mostly line up with my fave pokes they put in the game
Gardevior, Sceptile, Suicune, Empoleon, Scizor, mewtwo, darkrai
plus outside of your new weird crush I like everyone else on a normal level at least
The game is just too fun and once you get a bit deeper matches get really intense
You don't like Braixen? But Braixen is the BEST :-OIt helps that the creators seem to mostly line up with my fave pokes they put in the game

I've been on the internet too long for her to be anything but the opposite of the best
Doesn't help that one of the top jpn players is known for buying doujins of her and beating off
Erm... that's not the kind of "appreciation" I'm talking about. Braixen is just a really cute/cool design. Why's everything gotta be creepy.

Braixen is cool, was my main in the Wii U version, haven't used it yet in this version, been maining Darkrai, Scizor, Machamp and Empoleon.

If that's the case I'm surprised you don't have an issue with Gardevoir
Oh trust me I do, but at least she isn't designed as a little girl that's extra wtf for that type of stuff. I've liked Gardevior since ruby/saphire when I saw ralts in the begining since alakazam was one of my favorites I figured it was gonna be the new one
I'd love for the male version to be in this too, that mega form is coolLOL she is, it's just tainted for me is all.Erm... that's not the kind of "appreciation" I'm talking about. Braixen is just a really cute/cool design. Why's everything gotta be creepy.

Heh.
Sadly Braix is the only pokemon in Pokken I really want to play so I wouldn't get much use out of the 3 team thing. That'd change if I ever got lucky enough for them to add more I like (e.g. Mawile, Diancie, Meloetta, Brionne, etc) but for now I guess I'd have to sub in Gardevoir and Weavile as ones I'm somewhat 'meh' about but would do

It would be nice to get Gallade and Dancie tbh
Deoxy and Meloetta would be cool if they could figure out how to work form changes into their move sets. Maybe phase change transforms meloetta, for Deoxy they could just be have it transform on the spot in relation to the move I guess, like blocking and grabbing animations he morphs into defensive, field phase he starts as normal goes speed when homing attacking or dodging

Well, Namco did make Soul Calibur, a game where several characters are built around stances so I'm sure they could go one better for Deoxys and have the forms :3It would be nice to get Gallade and Dancie tbh

She mostly just reminds me of some of the anime I grew up on and more recent stuff like little witch academy... but a fox :3 I love the whole magical girls and witches thing.
Bonus points for Braixen sounding like she says "F*******ck youuuu" in the pokken intro
