Overall, a great variety of different types (all but 2), body plans (both humanoid mons, impish short ones, dragon/kaijumons, flying mons, objectmons, and even a quadraped), levels of popularity (ranging from shillmons like zard to popular mons like Garchomp, to more niche favorites like weavile and oddballs like Croagunk) and playstyles. I actually play Pokken competitively so I can give particular inight into that, though this video":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvnnN17CypY is a good general overview, but I can go in more depth if people want
I agree that Libre is unessacary and should be been Hawlucha, but I got to disagree a bit with
>>45064775,
>>45066242,
>>45066907 etc: A dark super version of a character is a fighting game staple archtype. I agree another unique Pokemon would have been BETTER, but it still fits for the genre, especially since Shadow Mewtwo plays entirely uniquely from normal mewtwo and is one of the more iunique characters in the roster (lowest health + moves consume it, forcing him to make constant use of burst for health regen and a special of his that recovers health; as well as a unique mechanic that allows him to change the properties of projectiles after he's fired them)
>>45064775>>45066143>>45066618>>45067485>>45067065>Also ranged attackers ....need to be toned downI'm not sure I agree. The majority of the game's pure zoners are in low tier, and Chandelure, while good and in the upper half, isn't a top tier character. Pokken's best characters are usually generalists like Mewtwo, Lucario, Braixen, etc
>could we please get something akin to Guard Impacting in Soul Calibur to cockblock combos?I don't think Pokken needs this when it has a Focus Attack like SFIV, the entire purpose of that mechanic is to allow reversals. The height system also allows this, if you are in block and the other player uses a move in a combo of the right height state, you can use a move that dodges that height to punish it.
