I know this is a coomer thread but reminder that Pokken is actually a good game and you should play it
>Roster It covers nearly every type and a variety of body shapes and popularity levels (shillmons like lucario, pika, zard; popular mons like Gardevoir, Blaziken, Garchomp; more niche favorites like Weavile, Chandelure, Scizor, etc)>Characters are highly varied in terms of playstyles, both in the sense that two players can play the same character very differently, and that they have varied kits and mechanics (IE braixen and her support cancels/building tools, Aegislash's parry and stance changes and the extra just-frames and buffs you get the more you switch, etc)>Great balancing, basically every single character is viable in high level play, even characters in low tier still make top 8's all the time>Mechanics that encourage fundamentals and neutral play where both players are doing mindgames and are trying to get a hit in, such as attack heights functioning as a way for moves to bypass each other and act as reversals, and the 2d-3rd phase shift system causing a return to neutral after shifts and encouraging you to mix up your combo composition and move choices based on if shifting or staying in the current phase is more to your advantage>Online is still decently active, community still runs tons of events, stuff is centralized around discord.gg/pokken and the supercombo page, no need to join like 12 different serversI can also give a writeup more specifically aimed at existing fighting game players, but this does touch on some of that already.
