While the original game had 16 fighters, this one has 21, plus a new pair of support Pokémon. Many of the fighters function quite differently too. Many of each Pokémon’s attacks are based off of some existing attack from the Pokémon series, and it was always fun for me to guess what each attack was and then check in said Pokémon’s move list. Pokkén Tournament DX’s mechanics are accessible to both new and old fighting game players, with the rock-paper-scissors and phase mechanics adding some extra flair for more storied fighting game veterans. The first player who wins two rounds wins the match. When a player’s Synergy Gauge is filled by pulling off attacks and getting special pickups that fall on each stage, they can enter Burst Mode and do more damage, and unleash a powerful Burst Attack. Players also have a small chance to counter with each attack to pull off a critical hit on their opponent, and can call on a Support Pokémon for special buffs and debuffs to turn the tide of battle. Regular attacks, blocks, and grabs also have rock-paper-scissors relationship, with blocks doing good against regular attacks, grabs being able to break blocks, and regular attacks having the ability to cancel grabs. The game features two phases, Battle Phase (which functions more like a traditional 3D fighter), and Duel Phase (which operates like a 2D fighter), that players can switch between with grabs and certain combos. “ Pokkén Tournament DX’s mechanics are accessible to both new and old fighting game players, with the rock-paper-scissors and phase mechanics adding some extra flair for more storied fighting game veterans.”
Unfortunately, if you already played a ton of the game on Wii U like I have, this version isn’t really worth it unless you really want to try out one of the game’s new fighters. It also includes a few new modes and fighters, making it a worthy purchase for those who do not own it yet. Earlier this year they released Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and they have now followed it up with Pokkén Tournament DX, the ultimate edition of one of the Wii U’s most interesting fighting games starring Pokémon.īeing on the Switch gives Pokkén Tournament DX much more visibility and the ability to be played anywhere with a variety of different control options. Fortunately, Nintendo is giving some of these Wii U exclusives new life on their newest breakout console-handheld hybrid, the Nintendo Switch.
With an install base of only a little over 13.5 million, many Wii U games undersold and went largely unnoticed by many. This attack’s excellent hitbox and properties combined with Decidueye’s fast dashes make its CADC game brutal.While the Wii U was an interesting console with quite a few awesome games on it, it is no secret that the system did not sell well.
Juggles aerial opponents charged and uncharged. Launches on critical hit uncharged and charged, and launches on normal hit fully charged. The best Counter Attack in Pokkén in my opinion.
Attributesīurst Duration: 12 Seconds Move list Counter Attack Although its damage is average from mid-range, with corner combo optimization, it’s a massive threat against opponents at the wall too. But that’s just my playstyle other Decidueye live in the air, and it has strong pressure and mixups approaching from above. That move, its counter attack, release Y, and 6X allow it to dominate footsies. It has one of the best i15 whiff punishes in Fury Attack.
It has one of the fastest walk speeds in both phases, and has access to a ghost dash with invinciblilty frames 5-14 in duel phase, 5-10 in field and total duration of only 17 frames.
