That and I'm sure there's a fair amount of people picking it up for the first time who never played the Wii U version, and probably want to familiarize themselves with the mechanics a bit before just diving headfirst into online. Haven't seen much marketing or hype for it around the web though, so I'm not expecting mind blowing sales but the Pokemon name sells itself, so it might have some decent legs to it in the long term.

Hate to burst your bubble but Thats been everyones dream since Pokémon Stadium on N64. The current 3DS engine is a good half step in the right direction so hopefully theyll go all the way on Switch...damnit I just got MVC Infinite dont need another fighter but Im this close to buying...
Wii U never got any DLC or anything which is why I am hesitant to purchase DX. Well at least it's a complete package though
Plus new 3vs3 mode local only is just weird too me
I really liked the idea until I realized each league had more than one. Then I saw it for the grind it was.
I just need to finish #2 for this then I'm done with the coverage for the most part.
Unfortunately, I'm tired as hell so am not doing my best today
Ah, I won my first three ranked games online with Blaziken then lost the next three. I thought I was doing good! But the good thing was that I found 6 matches in a row no problem, no waiting. Two of my losses were very close, but I had no idea what to do against Machamp and he basically double perfected me.
Anyway, can anyone offer advice / help with the following?
1. How do you get a better rank in fights? Especially vs the AI where it's nice to make a bit extra money. I always get 5 star attack but defence and technique are always poor. And what's bonus? I don't understand the ranking system at all - seems like you almost have to lose a round and win the 3rd round to have a chance at a good ranking.
2. Is there any consensus on the best cheer / support set? I typically use cheers that boost my synergy but is it better to use one that will max one of the hard-to-charge powerful support pokemon?

Aw man, is Suicune the cheap/noob character?
I just chose him because I like him.
Wheres Dewgong or Samurott?

No such thing. Characters like Suicune destroy bad players. If you like Suicune, learn him.
Charizard being considered akin to Marth from Melee is one of the strangest opinions I've ever seen regarding a game.

I bought the Pokken pad last week after learning that it could also be used in other games and tried it out in some fighters. I usually have trouble with quarter circles and similar stuff, but I was able to consistently pull them off in Guilty Gear (the controller also works on your pc
) and King of Fighters without any adjustment phase, whereas I was struggling with them before on the controllers for PS3, 360 and PS4. Instead of hitting 4 out of 10 I'm now hitting at least 9 out of 10. A major improvement for me. The Joycon also work surprisingly well, but it's less pleasant for my fingers.
I'm not a genre veteran though, so these are just impressions from a noob.

Lol Suicune is a zoner type character, similar to Gardevoir, Chandelure, Braixen, etc. It's main utility is keep away/spacing and knocking out the opponent with small and huge long range attacks. It has a charge move you can get accustomed to using, the longer you charge, the bigger the move. He also has plenty of combos if they get up close. Familiarize yourself with his long range attacks, find three that suit your playstyle and flexibility, and abuse those as you slowly familiarize yourself with the rest of his attacks.
He's dope.
Awesome, cheers dudes.
Been a while since I played a fighting game. Really enjoying Suicune so glad to see all the characters are quite reveared .

Can't believe my bro didn't tell me this arrived through the post hours ago, I've only just got my Decideueye on, and I already love acrobatics.
Boy this single player is gonna be tedious to trawl back through a second time though.

A wise decision.
But I gotta at least unlock my winter coat from the previous game!
While I don't plan on buying this have fun newcomers! And someone play as Gengar in my steed.
I think the OP mentioned that both docked and portable are 720p for some reason.

What? So they just aren't carrying the game..?
Not really sure. Target might not be stocking the game until the correct workers are scheduled to work. I'm going to try Wal-Mart later. They usually get excessive amounts of any new game. Launch copies of Binding of Isaac are still festering on their shelves.
Unfortunately, that's how it goes in fighting games. You're going to lose a lot to a character you're not familiar with at first. What matters is that you identify why you lost and eventually adapt.
I used to fall for Sceptile's fuckin ranged grab every time, now I'm ready for it.

Scizor is such a treat to main.
I have to try to learn how to chain his Swords Dance followups.
By the way, will we have a Group Battle open soon?

Ugh, hard to beat a chandelure when the match is laggy
I literally have no idea what's going on when I fight Darkrai lol
Nope it's 5. I have done 5

No idea about the second question but if it's the same as WiiU, any amiibo gives you a random unlock of either a title, some money or avatar clothes

Awesome, wasn't really planning on getting Pokken Tournament this soon since I put a decent amount of time on the Wii U version but now that I know the controller works universally I may just pick it up with the game.

Same here. I was forced to play through it on Wii U to unlock MewTwo or something. Here it's all about online certainly.
I cant figure out how to complete the Regain Recoverable HP mission in Blue League - Mission Panel 1 for the life of me. I have to regain 180 or more recoverable HP within 1 round. Anyone have any advice?? Im trying to use Espeon to recover HP, plus Synergy Burst (cause that also recovers HP, correct?), and I swear Ive recovered at least 180 before but its still not marking the mission complete so I must be somehow falling short.

Do your Pokemon stat increases carry over into ranked matches?

Darkrai, why are you so tough for me to learn.
I like you anyway.

use shadow mewtwo then, shadow mewtwo pokemon moves take away health that you can then get back by using recover
no you are stuck with the one colour unless you have a mirror match, blame TPC for that

They also have that weird armband, not really sure why. A light blue Scizor isn't really going to be indistinguishable from regular Scizor without an armband.

one of the loading screen tries to explain it along the line of digital paint
i would assume the makers is just there to say that the pokemon has been changed to look like this and not it's normal colour

Say, can someone quickly sum up Darkrai? He seems like he'd be to my tastes, but I have no idea how he works. Don't have the DX version but did play the U version, so I understand the basic mechanics.
