I am chill, you were the one italicizing fighting like it was a travesty because Suicune was in the game. That's why I was saying chill out. You are entitled your opinion of course.

Suicune's pretty popular if I'm not mistaken.
Heracross seems likely, since the Japanese love their kabutos.
But maybe Gamefreak will make my day with my favorite Pokemon. ::::3
Yeah, it's not surprising other than being a quadruped.

There was two fighting pokemon announced straight away. It has a chance.

Suicune? Suicune. I hope they go balls-off-the-wall with the roster.

I don't say it out of any connection between them and MLP. I say it out of dislike for the Pokemon themselves and merely stole the term off of GAF.
I know that they aren't really all horses.
These kind of games always have a more "surreal" choice in their roster. Don't think there's been a crossover fighter that hasn't had an obscure or rarely mentioned character.
Not to mention that Suicune is quite a popular legendary that isn't bipedal.

Kingler, Beedrill, Kabutops, Aerodactyl, Parasect, Poliwrath, Tentacruel, Hypno, Exeggutor, Tauros, Mewtwo, Ariados, Scizor, Donphan, Tyranitar, Ludicolo, Breloom, Shedinja, Aggron, Sharpedo, Regice, Toxicroak, Gigalith, Cofagrigus, Galvantula, Aegislash, Barbaracle, Tyrantrum and Goodra.
Any number of these would make me an extremely happy chappy.
I'd say Mewtwo, Scizor and Tyranitar are all shoe ins.

I think Nidoking would be a pretty rad Poison representative.

After watching that video I don't get why it's called Pokken. It does not look like Tekken at all.
It's a new fighting game made by Harada, the director of Tekken. That's all I can see.

That wasn't what I was implying though. I just like to use italics for emphasis, lol.
I just find it a bizarre choice.younglink7

Doesn't "ken" just mean something related to fighting, like "fist"?
It's a play on word in japanese. Tekken mean something like Iron Fist, so Pokken would be Pokemon fist or something similar.

Oh my bad then lol. I think Suicune is a bizarre choice just because it isn't like Arcanine or something.
It's a cute name that combines the "Poké" from Pokémon with the "Ken" (re: Fist) that designates what type of game it is, and hails from the same makers of Tekken. What more is necessary?

It's a pun. Ken means fist, so it's Pokefist Tournament. Also marketing reasons as well.

Also Pokken if red in reverse, is "kenpo".

Then why are people getting so hostile because I want the roster to primarily consist of Pokémon that use their fists?
I'm going to riot in the streets if some other Ice-type gets in before Jynx. Until generation IV, she was the only Ice-type Pokémon that could learn Ice Punch through level up. I can see them adding Abomasnow instead. Urgh.

Pikachu using Mishima-style karate looks hilarious. The other choices of Pokémon look pretty good so far. As others have said, Suicune is the odd-ball here.
Also, I'm wondering if the controller was a stipulation of Nintendo's. This game would probably control better with a standard joystick, but I know they're trying to reach a different audience. Who knows, maybe the final cabinet will have both the gamepad and the standard joystick set-up.

I'm really glad that they are expanding beyond "traditional" fighter Pokemon - Pikachu and Suicune look great. The mix between 3D and 2D fighting looks fun, too - color me excited!
I hope they go all out with the roster and extra features for the Wii U version.

Yeah, it's.

Say, did we ever see Pikachu and Lucario's super?
Pikachu's looked like some type of over the top combo involving Volteccer, while Lucario's ended up with him doing something akin to a MvC-style Shinkuu Hadouken after some attack that looked like that attack Piccolo did to Android 17.
Pikachu's is that Volt Tackle attack
What's up with Pikachu, why he is so angry

Same here. Golduck is still one of my most wanted, but Gardevoir will the void nicely if he doesn't make the cut.

The game definitely looks interesting, but I almost feel as though the gamepad is the most significant part about this whole thing. I imagine the direction is coming from Nintendo, but isn't the whole decision pretty strange? Sure, it may make the eventual transition to home easier for some, but it's not as though anyone who goes to arcades in the first place is going to be put off by a joystick.
Unless the intent is to market this to a young audience primarily, at non-game center locations primarily? Maybe?

Hype deflated. This looks like one of those 3D arena Naruto or Dragon Ball Z fighting games. I really just wanted Pokemon Tekken, like the name implies.
