    Tekken + Ninja Storm on easy mode, with a Pokemon coating. To me, this isn't a bad thing because I don't have the finger dexterity to play Tekken. If anything, it could have been more like Ninja Storm in a over the top fashion. Imagine just doing all Pokemon movesets on demand and just limit what each moveset the pokemon can use??!!

But the game switches between a 2d dimensional combat, and then to a 3d dimensional combat depending on how you get hit.

    The only big downsides is that it needs more characters, and netcode is bad (online lag is horrible).

    Ultimately I loved this game and Pikachu Libre. It was lots of fun.    … Expand

    Al principio es muy sencillo, luego subes de ligas y... mejor mira como juega la maquina en nivel máximo para aprender a hacer algo decente, pues es bastante difícil y un buen reto estilo pokemon lucha. Me fascino tener el control del pokemon y que no falle bajo mi mano.

Next thing I know, I’m buying the game and on Sunday, I played over a 100 matches online.

    I have a bit of an addictive personality but man this game really pulled me in.

    Are there any similar fighting games?

    With the two phases, I can honestly say this a unique experience. I’ve never played both a 2-D and 3-D fighter.

    Favorite character to use?

    Machamp, he’s tough to use because some people spam and zone me out but if I get in, you’re in trouble.

    Would you play it again?

    I’m probably going to be playing this game a lot for awhile. I’m getting a little worried about my 52 game challenge but we play video games for fun so why not play a game that you find fun?

    Any complaints?

    You build up meter too fast and there’s not enough to do with it. I don’t like using supers, i would much rather use my meter an “EX” move which basically means that a specific move hits harder but uses some of your meter.

    With the building up of the meter, I faced one person who used their super twice in the same round. The crazy thing is, I still won the round but still twice?    … Expand

    Pokken Tournament is a much deeper and more complex fighting game than its brand may suggest. This could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective and experience with the genre, but when averaged with the rest of the Wii U lineup, it is the kind of title the system needs. Pokemon and fighting game fans alike would be doing themselves a favor in giving the game a chance to sink in.

    Pokken Tournament is deceptive in that underneath that Poke'mon skin lies a very competent fully featured fighting game.

You can doPokken Tournament is deceptive in that underneath that Poke'mon skin lies a very competent fully featured fighting game. If you have played Tekken or Dead or Alive you will immediately feel right at home with concepts like grabs, counters, hi and low attacks. The game starts out by giving you the freedom to play what you want to play. If you want to jump right into the online? You can do that. If you want to play the tutorial and learn the mechanics? You can do that. If you want to play against the AI in free battles or play the single player campaign? You can do that also as well as jumping right into online play.

    Pokken Tournament at release has more content than SSFV. Its single player campaign has you playing through various leagues of increasing difficulty. I also appreciated that the campaign has some decent voice acting as well. As you progress through the league you eventually fight a league master/champion in a promotion test to advance your ranking and progress to the next league. Its important to note that you can button mash your way through the relatively easy first league. However understanding the mechanics and attack triangle is vital to winning at higher difficulties and online.

    As I stated earlier Pokken Tournament's mechanics are what you would expect from games like DoA, or Tekken. The attack triangle is like a form of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Normal attacks counter throws. Throws beat counter attacks. Counter attacks beat normal attacks. As a result knowing when to use each is important. The game also mixes things up with what are called phase shifts. You start in Field Phase where you can move about in 8 directions akin to Soul Calibur or DoA's 8-way run. If you deal significant damage the phase shifts to 'duel' phase where you move left to right with the camera zoomed in. Deal enough damage and fill your burst gauge to trigger and dish out powerful burst attacks. As the battle progresses a synergy gauge will also fill allowing you to use support poke'mon. These are just as diverse as the major fighters and are among the numerous unlocks the game has.

    Progression in the game awards you titles, new support poke'mon and even cosmetics for your avatar. I was initially surprised by just how extensive the customization is within the game. This extends to the fighters themselves in that as they battle they earn skill points which can be distributed among 4 key stats.

    The presentation is superb. The stages, and character models are lovingly rendered and the gameplay is solid. I don't think its a stretch to say this is an incredibly polished fighting game that in many ways has more content to offer at launch for $60 than SSFV. If you are a poke'mon or fighting game fan, this game has something to offer everyone.    … Expand

    Pokken Tournament was a major success, in my opinion. The gameplay is fun, the roster is somewhat small but has a lot of variety, and seeing Pokemon in these graphics is a dream come true. It isn't overly complex or tedious, but it also isn't oversimplified. This game is accessible to players of all skill levels, and will keep you playing "Just one more battle...".

The controls while hard to master, are easy to get the hang of making it appealing to both casual and competitive players, the tutorials, which are really helpful in this game, also contribute in this regard . The Single-Player campaign consists of basic battles that aren't really that hard and the story it tells isn't really that interesting at all, the only reason to play through it is the fact that it is the only way to get most of the unlockables. Both local and online multiplayer work in a fantastic way, there was no lag in both modes during my playtime and despite the fact that in local the quality drops from 60fps to 30fps, it is barely noticeble in the middle of the fun and action of the battles. There's also a lot of avatar customization this game offers and it easily matches the amount that there is in splatoon, if not more. Overall I thought that this game was great, it has amazing gameplay, fantastic online and lots of customization to keep you busy, the biggest downside to it is the fact that said gameplay might feel repetitive quickly, since every stage is basic, being pretty much a background swap, and it doesn't help the fact that the core gameplay extends to every mode in the same way, by that I mean, it's always the regular good old battles, difference being you're either playing alone, with friends or with strangers online.… Expand

    Creo que es un buen juego de luchas, no soy un gran aficionado a este tipo de juegos, pero Pokken Tournament me enganchó desde el primer día que lo jugué. Llevo con el juego desde que salió, me llegó con la tarjeta de Mewtwo oscuro, y he de decir que no la usé casi nada, ya que ésta solo te sirve durante la partida que juegas, una vez quitas el juego y vuelves a entrar tienes que volver a ponerla y así, hasta que finalmente desbloqueas a Mewtwo Oscuro y problema resuelto.

    Bueno, empecemos por la "historia", me parece correcta, no es una grandísima historia, de hecho parece puesta por poner, pero algo es algo, con un total de cuatro ligas donde la dificultad no es muy elevada, sí es verdad que notas diferencia entre una y otra, pero tampoco es nada del otro mundo. Me hubiera gustado que la dificultad fuese mayor, pero por suerte tenemos el online. La historia podría haber sido más compleja, con más personajes y demás, pero ya digo, parece puesta para tener una excusa y sacar a relucir a Mewtwo Oscuro. Ojo, no me estoy quejando, a mi me parece correcto.

    En cuanto al online, me parece el punto fuerte del juego, éste tiene una gran variedad de rangos, que si no me equivoco son: E, D, C, B, A y S (en el modo "oficial" o competitivo, también puedes echar combates amistosos y no jugar por rango). El online va realmente fluido, me sorprendió bastante en este aspecto, me esperaba algo mucho peor. Bien es cierto que sí, hay partidas en las que el lag es tremendo y no puedes hacer nada, pero son muy muy pocas, y seguramente sea por problemas del rival.

    También me gustaría destacar el sistema de nivel, es sencillo: combates y ganas EXP, tu pokémon sube de nivel y le asignas unos puntos de combate para aumentar su ataque, defensa... Nada del otro mundo, pero que hace al juego aún más interesante.

    Y por último, pero no menos importante: la personalización de personaje. A medida que ascendemos en las ligas, desbloquearemos más personalizaciones para el personaje, pueden ser ropa, collares, gafas, etc. Me parece bastante interesante, ya que es lo que te distingue de tu oponente, no hay nada mejor que meterse en el papel de tu personaje y sentirte realmente un entrenador Pokémon.

    Cabe mencionar, además, que el juego va a 60fps, aunque si jugamos al multijugador local caen a 30fps.

    The roster is kind of low for a modern fighting game (which nowadays require at least 24 fighters to be considered good), and fortunately they got very unique movesets among them, and variety coming from a chandelure, a four-armed touad, and a water-dog with their unique attacks.

    Trainer customization is wide and you can make a trainer in the way you want, even if this is only to have a pretty or bad-ass avatar anytime you play offline or online. The online mode goes smooth and great, something that amazes in Nintendo for a fighting game, if only they did the same with Smash Bros. You can still enjoy the story mode, to unlock more stuff and money, and also playing vs someone in the same room, one watching the TV screen and the other the Gamepad (since this game has a Naruto/dragon Ball-like camera for the fighters)

    Anyway, you will have a lot of fun hours with this, which is basically almost the dream of every Pokémon player out there. Awaiting for Pokkén Tournament 2 whether they make it, if so, I hope it gets a roster from 24 to 50 characters this time.    … Expand

    OMG THE ONLINE IS AMAZING. I only had 1 fight that had lag. Only because MY internet was faulty at the time. Fights were brought up in seconds and everything stayed in a solid 60 fps. Some other fighting games need to learn this. COUGH COUGH STREET FIGHTER V COUGH COUGH

The only problems that I have with this game, are the dreadful English Voice acting, is one of the worst voice acting I´ve ever heard, the story can have some issues and don´t expect to have an easy final boss... she´s really hard. If you didn´t like the idea about a Pokemon Fighting game, well may this game is not for you, but if you love fighting games and pokemon, this is definitely a must buy and I don´t know, probably this game would have free ( I hope) DLC in the future and is really impressive how the first fighting game for pokemon is one of the best games I´ve ever played. I hope this game turns into a new franchise and I´m really excited for the next installment or updates of the game....

I kinda figured we were overdue for a pokemon fighter though as battles were obviously a common occurance in the RPG counterparts. The fighting style is neat in that it moves through phases (basically where you can walk around a venue and another which is close combat) which have different movesets. It challenges you to strategize on what moves to do when. It can get more complicated than it seems especially on lower league battles.

    The graphics are pretty good, especially for the textures and details on the pokemon. The background could use a bit more of an improvement, but it's not a big deal at all.

    The unlockables are pretty cool and addictive to earn, though I don't see someone putting that much time and effort into his or her avatar, but seeing new things pop up is always exciting (and there are tons of them)!

    There are only 2 things that keep me from giving it a perfect ten and that's the roster and a minor thought about combat. The roster isn't bad by any means, but it's a lot smaller than most fighters, which normally have a ton of fighters, but I assume that Nintendo will put out some DLC in the future to add in some extras. I think that Meloetta would be a cool choice and let it have different movesets for each of its forms.. Just an idea anyway. My minor gripe about combat is that sometimes it isn't fluid and can favor the computer player. As I went through my league (and yes I finally completed the whole thing), the computer obviously got tougher, but it got to the point to where I couldn't avoid some of the hits even if I tried to block, which made me a bit frustrated at times.

    Anyway this game is awesome and deserves quite a bit more than just a 76. I recommend this to pretty much anyone who likes fighters and anyone who likes pokemon.    … Expand
