Echo Chamber posted:I'll probably have to call Nintendo to see if my amazon eshop preorder qualifies me for the amiibo card. Nope! No non-physical versions are eligible for the Shadow Mewtwo amiicard. It's not particularly relevant since it just lets you use the character before you legitimately unlock it.

Ranked Matchmaking is absolutely hosed and may as well not even have a logarithm for all the good it seems to be doing. I've run up against people who are two tiers higher than me with twice as many games played, people with significantly higher win rates than mine, and for my first actual rank-up match I got placed against a 0-0 player when I'm up to ~20 battles.

mabels big day posted:I get the RPS basics but actual fighting game stuff is harder than smash bros is, and also less fun to lose in. It's a lot closer to street fighter than it might seem. Keep your guard up, try not to throw out attacks unless you're confident in the absolute safety or ability to connect, etc. E: join the discord folks! https://discord.gg/0th271u4YmmhJeQf

Bass Bottles posted:This is really helpful and I hope to read more posts like it in the future!! I know, but it's real advice. Some pokemon in the cast are fast and have long auto-combos, the urge to mash is very much a thing

Bass Bottles posted:What's the best way to get good? Online play? Training mode? The campaign seems a little too mindless but maybe that gives you a chance to learn strategy in a safe environment? Play a touch of the tutorial mode, then go online for a good, long while. Get dunked, but learn your moves and other character behaviors, get comfortable with the RPS triangle and general flow of matches. Allow your frustrations at how you feel your character/playstyle don't seem to match up or be improving to build. Then, go youtube up some tournament play and have your core understanding of everything shaken and dismantled. Incorporate the new knowledge via practice mode, repeat ad infinitum.

Drowning Rabbit posted:Do you really believe this was going to work. Captain obvious strikes again. I obviously don't know what song it is riffing off the top of my head, hence the question. It's ~A Thing~ that youtuber does, honestly it's kind of aggravating b/c it pollutes the youtube searches for the particular songs he does it to, so if you don't already know that it's a gag account you get some weird bullshit instead

everythingWasBees posted:So I keep on hearing people describing S.Mewtwo as a glass cannon, but I've not really heard much about the cannon bit of that, just how he can't take a hit. What are his strengths? He looks like a really cool character so I'm rather interested. He is an insane projectile character, virtually filling the entire arena perpetually with bullshit (which he can remote control and redirect almost at whim for free), and has a lot of the same "gently caress off this isn't even fair" counter properties regular Mewtwo has. His burst is also completely full screen and even picks up out of the air a bit (just high enough to catch levitating chand/geng)

Nasgate posted:Weird, the video you linked is of Manyula, not Weavile. You definitely can, but you'll never, ever win online. Single Player is about as difficult as a training dummy set to "walk forward and push attack" for the entire campaign. It's actually a pretty bad deal for a game at 60bux if you want to do anything other than shoot for leaderboards or don't have a regular group of friends to play with.

rickiep00h posted:Also if they don't start putting DLC in a la SSB, I'll be real surprised. It seems tailor-made for it. Sm4sh has the benefit of being on the 3DS which means units sold and the increased revenue from being on a system that isn't the WiiU and justifies DLC. Pokken was meant to get all of its DLC over the course of its arcade lifespan but that was cut short by the realization that Bamco was unable to generate worthwhile AI to challenge people who aren't just playing against other humans and turned out to be massively unprofitable as people would get 40-60 minute plays on a single credit and never touch the game again. It's why the WiiU version was rushed out and likely is why it lacks any serious usability features (lobbies, replays, etc) that Bamco otherwise knows how to develop in their fighting games.

The Gorp posted:If the person is a rage quitter their matchmaking value looks like it goes down even if it doesn't change their physical rank. If you block somebody via Friend List -> Player History, it prevents you from being matched up against them. Good for laggy folks or people prone to quitting.

http://pokkenarena.boards.net/thread/1616/june-15th-patch-notes Cresselia is no longer invuln, Guarding has been buffed as many characters now have less pressuring options against it, Mewtwo sees significant nerfs, and a few other things of note. Thanks for keeping up, Bamco

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Pokken's getting a new character (Darkrai), some more single-player content ("Mission Panels", they look kinda like Smash challenges?) and some other stuff. They're talking in the context of arcade updates right now, so no idea when they'll come to Wii U and/or how much they'll cost. Darkrai being a trap character rounds out the standard roster of fitegame character archetypes, so that's rad. I'm going to cry if Scizor is just a support though and not going to be a playable addition
