Nintendo has a released today a gameplay video of the game about combos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcrFa3GB1Ds

It's nice to see assist can be used to create some unique moves.

Combo me if old.

 

[Crayon]

I'm not into smash. This looks way more my taste. This entices me to buy a wii u.

Pokken looks hype.

 

[Platy]

Praticaly every combo is on Duel Phase, therefore no "field phase pokes" like suicune ...

 

[MegaPanda]

Love the impact effects. Harada da gawd

 

[SUPBABY]

Played in the Gamestop tourny and had a lot of fun, pretty pumped to get into this game!

 

[Quonny]

This looks a lot like the Naruto games.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Feels kinda "slow", looks good though.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

This looks a lot like the Naruto games.

Its pretty different

 

[Sheentak]

Shame this is splitscreen/multiple setups i feel like this is a oversight that should be corrected in the sequal

 

[Regiruler]

This looks a lot like the Naruto games.

If there's a plane shift button in duel phase it's moreso clash of ninja (I'm assuming your referring to ninja storm which I generally consider to be a waste of time).

 

[Broritos]

Wow, wall combos. This looks just as much as a Tekken spinoff as a Pokemon spinoff.

Day 1.

 

[Nights Owl]

Shame this is splitscreen/multiple setups i feel like this is a oversight that should be corrected in the sequal

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Street Fighter in tournaments played with 2 Setups? That's what I got from the Capcom Cup tourney for SSFIV a while ago.

Unless you're talking about just playing with pals. Then I'm dumb.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Where was suicune

 

[Aostia]

Shame this is splitscreen/multiple setups i feel like this is a oversight that should be corrected in the sequal

Online and LAN modes are there and The double screen set up for local multy is there to avoid a splitscreen impossible with that camera

 

[OricWindstar]

Damn, this looks better every time I see it.

 

[PreyingShark]

Praticaly every combo is on Duel Phase, therefore no "field phase pokes" like suicune ...

Suicune has Duel Phase combos too, but they aren't really flashy. His main BB is like Y2Y, Y2Y, X, Y2Y or something like that. It does plenty of damage but it's not really combo video material. lol

 

[Diggeh]

Wait...WAIT...

IS MY MAN MACHAMP GOING FULL ON JOJO?!

DAY ONE

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Heihachi died and was reincarnated as Pikachu.

 

[Revven]

This looks a lot like the Naruto games.

The similarities end at the camera/field phase. This plays very differently from the Storm games.

Those combos looked hype though, damn. Especially Blaziken, Lucario, Machamp, and Sceptile.

 

[Baleoce]

Looks fun, I'm buying it just for the Farfetch'd assist. xD

 

[Alienous]

Pretty cool. Machamp and Blaziken look like my kind of characters.

 

[Piers]

This looks a lot like the Naruto games.

Clash of Ninja was my Gamecube jam.
So good.

 

[NEO0MJ]

It still feels like a less than optimal solution for playing with friends. I mean I completely understand why they had to go this route though as the Wii U doesn't have the horsepower to handle split screen. It's the same situation with Gundam Extreme VS.

 

[Firemind]

Garchomp straight up beasting.

Rest looked kind of lame tbh. Wtf is Lucario doing powering up like a saiyan?

 

[mrmickfran]

That Machamp combo was sick.

 

[SpiceMelange]

Sometimes it's Tekken, other times it's Naruto. What's that whole phase shift thing? TBH I would have preferred one style or the other instead of a mishmash.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Sometimes it's Tekken, other times it's Naruto. What's that whole phase shift thing? TBH I would have preferred one style or the other instead of a mishmash.

It's both. The game constantly switches between Field Phase (3D) and Dual Phase (2D).

 

[Whizkid7]

Got to try this out when it was at Dave & busters in NYC and had a blast with it. Can't wait for the real release to start tossing people around with Machamp.

 

[Thorwaldsson]

I don't really like Tekken, but this looks really, really, tight. I'm getting it.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Whoa, wall bounce combos?

DAT CHARIZARD SEISMIC TOSS THO

Sold.

 

[TreIII]

Those were pretty damn hype. Can't wait for my copy to arrive.

 

[OricWindstar]

Sometimes it's Tekken, other times it's Naruto. What's that whole phase shift thing? TBH I would have preferred one style or the other instead of a mishmash.

Certain moves cause a "phase shift" between the two. I wasn't sure about it, but one of the preview videos had the full tutorial in it and it actually looks really fun.

 

[hwy_61]

Will this game have every pokemon?

 

[GootecksShimmy]

Wish I had a Wii U. This looks great.

Loving wrestler Pikachu.

 

[PreyingShark]

Will this game have every pokemon?

No, not even close. It would be a balancing clutserfuck! lol

 

[hwy_61]

No, not even close. It would be a balancing clutserfuck! lol

lol I actually didn't think of that. I hope they keep adding characters to the roster, though. Kinda thin as it is tbh.

 

[Mihos]

..... what's the Amiibo card thing at the end? Did I miss a memo?

 

[TDLink]

There's a secret boss enemy Shadow Mewtwo. The game comes with the card, which when you tap it unlocks him as a playable character. You can also unlock him without the card (if you get the digital version I guess?)...but it's apparently difficult and takes a while to do so.

 

[Remapped88]

Definitely my kind of combat system, duel mode is very Tekken-ish with a bit more flair. I'm guessing some moves will either knock the opponents back into field phase or there might be a juggle limit into field phase so things won't get too cheap. I really can't wait and I hope this does well for them because I already have a huge list of Pokemon I want in a sequel since they don't want to do DLC. Hope they change their minds.

 

[WadeitOut]

Feels kinda "slow", looks good though.

I agree but I think a lot of it is because all of these people we have seen playing the game have little to no clue what they are doing.

 

[Cody_D165]

I generally dislike 3D fighters but this is making me pretty hype

i wanna main blaziken

 

[Kyzon]

I'm hoping you can continue combos past a phase shift :3

 

[Mr-Joker]

Sweet, so can't wait to play it in 2 weeks time.

 

[Akiller]

The "phase shift" transition looks weird, it kinda breaks the rhythm.

 

[Tripy73]

I think the game has potential to be competitive. Day One.

 

[Regiruler]

Clash of Ninja was my Gamecube jam.
So good.

For what it's worth the wii versions were really good as well, if a bit unbalanced (especially Rev 2).

 

[Aostia]

It still feels like a less than optimal solution for playing with friends. I mean I completely understand why they had to go this route though as the Wii U doesn't have the horsepower to handle split screen. It's the same situation with Gundam Extreme VS.

Wait what does that has to do with horsepower?
It is a matter of camera Angle. For the camera, the second screen is simply optimal.

If you are talking about for than the cut to 30fps would have taken place even with a split screen and doesnt have to do with the second screen.

For competitive play the LAN party should be perfect with the online based on connecrion quality and server fidelity, still to be tested

Btw both combos and fluidity and variety seem spot on from my play through so far

I don't believe that is true. Other games have split screen on Wii U and still maintain 60 fps. Every game that has gamepad as one screen for multiplayer cuts it to 30 though. Rendering on the gamepad (and streaming to it) definitely is the primary source of the fps cut.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Pokken has the ugliest depictions of Pokemon in a game since Pokemon green.

What is it about the art style that makes it so creepy? Uncanny valley?

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Didn't even know you could combo lol

Gengreezy day one
