>shitty esoteric console
>game's scene dependent on online playerbase meaning the smaller it gets the shittier it becomes and this forms a vicious cycle
>crowded out by other games?

It aimed for a middle-ground between genuine competitive depth and casual accessibility that results in not being able to fully please either audience. On top of that, it was on the Wii U. Further, the source material is one that will inevitably, unavoidably breed bitterness as most people don't get their favourite out of 721+ pokemon selected for a ~15 character roster.

I can vouch for that. The roster is the sole reason I didn't buy Pokken. All they needed was Swampert and I could have forgiven all the other choices, but nooo, gotta add the other two without him. Yes, I am salty, before anyone asks.

I didn't get it because my niece and nephew broke my gamepade playing Minecraft.

Really, really hope for a sequel, or at least a port to NX so I can actually play it.

What did you do to them, though? Never tell half of a story.

That's just the nature of fighting games. They all die within a few months except for the big ones like Street Fighter.

Actually, even Street Fighter is declining.

It's just a shitty dead genre full of elitsts. I got it to play with friends and it was worth it just for that.

Were they so mad the threw or damaged the controller, or was it a "I tapped the screen too hard too many times and now it can't sense any touch input"?

This, if they had a better roster I would've been much more inclined to buy it. Charizard/Lucario target audience =/= Pokken's target audience.

The absence of Hawlucha really, truly wounded this game.

I'd say the gen 1 pandering is actually why it sold so well. It probably would've bombed if /vp/ decided the roster.

It's not a good enough game. The roster doesn't excite people the way a Pokemon fighter should. The choice to make it Naruto Ultimate Ninja style does reference the rpg battle perspective but I don't think it was the right choice. I personally don't like the models or menu and display design either, except for a few, like Garchomp. Music is fabulous though.

>muh favorite pokemon isn't in it!
There is no roster that could possibly satisfy all of you autists, so this really isn't a valid complaint.

>muh gen 1 pandering
Yeah, no shit. It's a spin-off game with a normie genre. It was either pander or flop.

>muh small roster
Probably the only valid complaint I see in these threads, but roster size was never important to me.

It's not a Pokken problem. It's a fighting game problem. The FGC overall is on the decline due to other eSports like MOBAs and CS:GO taking the spotlight.

Pokken just came out at the wrong time. It probably would've been much bigger if it came out during the Wii's lifetime.

That's a good justification from the dev's standpoint, but being good for the dev isn't the same as being good for me, and I won't let something slide just for being more profitable.

Though I'm more upset at the Fire-type pandering than the Genwun pandering.
