I just went by GameStop and got a Charizard amiibo and the double sided Pokken pre-order poster. I didn't even buy the game there. Apparently I'm the only one who has gotten the poster, since the dude had to open the package to get me one.
I'll be putting it up Charizard side of course.
Damn that's nice
I hate Braxiens. Nothing but the lamest of gamest.
It has Super Armour on start up. It's punishable on block but man it's such a scrubtard move. If you get hit, it's just a few insane damage attack. I've been looking into counters and the CPU found counters against it.
All I know is that it has armour on start up but you can attack it during the animation, however you have to be in the animation as it's active. It's a stupid move. All I can say is block is and either punish with grab OR go for light attack since whatever opponent you're playing against will mash anything after.

lol i tried going in whenever i could but my braxiens normals are badddddd :/ trying to get in any sort of quick strikes just had me eating combos left and right :/ sorry it was so lame :/

I've played countless Braxiens online which all do the same:
Field mode: Run left right while firing projectiles + phase shift move
Duel Mode: Spam Hadouken
Thing is, Braxien is open to air attack and fast rush down. Not to mention she has to respect a lot of the mixup game.
I'm sure you can actually leap the projectiles in Duel Mode but you have to be close so they don't spread out and I have to be at the height of my jump and then air dash.
Random Suicune decided to do constant beams and air beam. Lost a match and then we came back to fight again. It's super unsafe.
1 thing to note is has a big startup so you can run it and Suicune lands with his back to you. Go in for a big punish.
Pikachu telegraphs where his attack will land so you can dash under it and towards the opponent.
It's not normally hard to dodge/block, but it's funny how they made Pikachu just like in Smash.

yeah i noticed for the fire blast
and yeah braxien in field mode really doesnt have much outside of yyyy projectile spam her homing attack is pretty bad honestly :/ ive been trying to do other things in field mode outside of it but it is one of her best if not only tool she has lol im starting to warm up to air dash into down strong which seems like a pretty good tool
i was thinking i could probably anti air the kick but i kept forgetting my buttons a lot and crumpled under a lot of the pressure lol
But everyone expects you to spam projectiles, so they never expect the homing attack. Never.

true true but i never found as chance in getting in even if i circle around and trying to get in lol most of the time they just shield regardless i only like the projectiles because i just find i can get people off me and gives me a lot of breathing room to see what they might do if i luck out and get the duel phase then i try to space with fire blast and try to open up with her basic combos im still not used to the whole rps mechanic and i get blown up a lot with counters and grabs
Well, I will admit I can spam my own projectiles in field phase too. I try to change it up every so often though. Surprisingly, you can also jump and fire Brax's Y button projectiles and that seems to get people off guard.
Going into burst mode and opting for homing attacks rather than using a burst attack right away seems to work pretty well. It seems to lead most into getting drawn into her burst attack, especially since her homing attack will combo into a field change.
I finally played against a Braixen online and man I do not know how to deal with it. Fire blast is so big in duel mode that I find it incredibly hard to get in. When I did they always managed to predict what I was going to do. When I went for a grab I got a fire blast to the face, when I went for a counter I got grabbed, when I went for a regular attack I got countered. To make things worse I ended up facing three in a row.
I also had my first laggy match. I couldn't do anything other than sit in a corner and counter since my button presses were so delayed. Needless to say that didn't do anything against a Machamp haha.
In brighter news I made it to D rank online!

Me either. I feel like all of my Mewtwo wins are either because I get lucky or the players are really bad.
I've noticed that too. Maybe once a few more people do that they'll realize that not everyone that jumps is about to do an aerial attack.

yeah thats why ive been trying to be a bit more honest in duel phase and tried for more footsies and just overall normals i find the matches to be more exciting even though a lot of the times her buttons are pretty lacking in power
but i admit i do spam fire blast a lot whenever i panic or i just want people to stop rushing me down
yeah i knew about the jumping ys but aside from a few people a lot of people tend to just run (ive been trying to run towards or in the same direction as to catch them off guard and it seems to work here and there)
i really like fire blast i find its her best set up tool for sunny day lol (i just kinda wish sunny day enchanced more than just her broom dash move in terms of normals (i think thats a normal) unless im missing something
I don't share your sentiments. lol.
Mewtwo is just so damn powerful. Once he gets into a combo you're basically almost dead. Pinned against the wall getting owned.

Those wireless ones that connect to wiimotes work, but not the ones with GC connectors and cables.

I've encountered Sceptile quite a lot myself (possibly my most faced opponent thus far) and its the bane of my life.
It's interesting how varied the character usage spreads are here from people's online experience, I think I've faced everyone but Machamp so far.
And having recently given Machamp a proper shake I'm kinda glad, dude hits like a runaway freight train.

I'm not too scared of Machamp, but I love that if you make one mistake against him, there goes half your life. Super tense battle.

I'm assuming it's top tier or not that popular because I've only fought one in 2-3 single player leagues.

Anyone here tried out the lan mode yet? You can connect 2 Wii U's together through the Ethernet adapters and a normal lan cable right?
It is a projectile spammer but the fact that it's power means it does so much damage. Super obnoxious to fight as both its melee and ranged attacks are a pain to get through.

Ah I think I picked up the former ones. The ones that were released before the GC was reprinted. That has to hook up to a wiimote right? Or can you hook it directly into the Wii U?
It was pretty cheap but I'm wondering how I'd use it at Evo if it requires a wiimote, lol.
neat, that sounds exactly like my kind of pokemon. I suppose the downside is that it's slow?

I think if you connect them you need a crossover cable. You can use a network hub if you have no crossover.
Indeed. Slow on the field. It's moves come out pretty slow. Rush down will eat you alive.

They are pads that you have plug into the Wii controller. So they are wireless.
Played plenty of Braxiens online everyone has done the Run left/right and span projectiles. I know it's only day 2 but I don't see the character getting much deeper. Though her projectiles are some of the best.
Shouta

Oof. The Pro Pads are wired? Maybe I'll just order the Hori or Pro pad from Amazon then and return this one I got from Gamestop. It was only 20 bucks too. Shame D=
That beam.
The third party GC pads usually work as Wii Pro controllers, so they plug into a Wii controller to be wireless unlike the Wii U Pro controller which is just fully wireless. It all doesn't matter anyway because I'm fairly certain you HAVE to use the Gamepad if you're playing as player 1 anyway.
The people you're fighting probably do >_>
Shouta
Member
So do you plug the Hori ones into the Wii U or the gamepads?
The official Hori Pokken pads? Pretty sure they're wired USB controllers.

Alright, thank you. Seems like they overhyped him a bit just for him to be a bit useless. Didn't plan on maining him, but wanted to fiddle with him a bit through League. Guess first run wasn't as exciting as it could have been.

Slow and relative to other ranged Pokemon, fairly predictable. At least that's been my opinion of the Chandelures I've fought.

I'm bummed. My Wii U had no connection issues the night the game was out. Never lagged in any matches. Since Friday night I've been getting a lot of laggy matches, and I'm not sure why.
I've got a LAN adapter arriving tomorrow, so hopefully it'll fix it.
I just tested Smash on 3DS and had zero issues. :\

Yeah, the 3rd party GC controller lookalikes connect to wiimotes only. Pokken doesn't support the GC controller adapter that came with Smash Bros, so you can't use real GC controllers. The only wired controller that works is the Hori Pokken controller.
Shouta
Member
Ah, welp. Time to order the Hori Controller then.
You can grab someone as they are charging a counter attack for one and I believe pulling off a fully charged counter attack on someone is one too.

Might be getting the game tomorrow. For those who use the Pro Controller, does the game play great with it?
Critical Hits are based on if you hit someone as they are attacking or about to attack. So, if they whiff something and the move is still out and you hit them, that's a Critical Hit. Or, if you hit them just as the move they were starting to use. They're Counter Hits like in other fighting games, it's just renamed to be a nice little fanservice thing.
