Pokken Tournament

[Charu]

So for everyone here that wants or already have the game.

There's a shield block infinite with Shadow Mewtwo that will autowin Shadow Mewtwo. Even ditto's

I recommend not trying to block if he gets about mid-range or so to you.

pokemon go, bruh GET HYPE

watched charu play this a bit in a skype call, I think I'll pick this up once I get a wii u. looks neat, gengar looked sick as hell and the fact that chandelure is a playable pokemon is icing on the cake.

WHEN AUDINO

played against charu, and it was much more enjoyable since charu found out how to handle braixen a lot better lol

"Mewtwo pretty OP, huh?"

At least you won't easily be chewed out between two pros

Mewtwo and Gengar are definitely S tier after finishing the campaign and getting a lot of online play in.

I can't see it any other way.

There are some other good contenders (Chandel is really good, as is Pikachu I think) but these guys really stand out as having no real weaknesses and hitting like a truck. Just spam with mewtwo and win. He wins range, he wins close. Gengar's transform is hilariously OP so it never really matters if you drop one of the first two games since you always win game 3.

Maybe at high end play it's different but with respect to average gamers these guys are it. I haven't dropped a single game with either of them at over a dozen wins each. All I do is win. They're so easy to play and punish so hard.

Gardevoir and Braixen are just bad at this level. I can't get them to work, everyone I face that plays them I pretty much perfect. If they're good characters their skill cap is too high for most players to really utilize them. All I do is lose when I play these guys.

I don't really get them. They can't zone well, they can't camp. Mewtwo, Chandel, Gengar can all out range game them so their poking is really useless and you can just rush their face because at close range they get demolished. They seem like a handicap.

[Charu]

Well, my Braixen says "Fuck your shit Mewtwo" and "Fuck your shit Gengar"

I don't win all the time against them, but I find it easy when facing Gengar.

Mewtwo, I just got to play smart and see what they do. If they spam projectiles. It's a good thing then most of them I can just counter dash through them. There's one move I can't do that though, so I just broomstick then since it gives Mewtwo huge end lag.

What rank are you?

In the D ranks people still walk into mewtwo beam all the time and it saps like 1/3 of their Hp...

Of course, getting in on mewtwo is also fine since his close game is so damn good.

Maybe it's different at higher ranks. I'll break into C soon. But I'm still pushing ~80% WR in Ds with Gengar/Mewtwo. Can't say the same for most other characters.

Others that have stood out as good to me: Pika, Chandel, Lucario, Wevile

...UNDERrated(?): Septicile, Machamp, Blaziken (holy shit good Blaziken's are annoying). I've faced a few randoms on the ladder with wicked high WRs on these guys and gotten roflstomped.

Balance seems pretty good overall in this game though. I expect tier clusters to form but I don't think the difference is anywhere near smash level.

[Charu]

Admittedly, I've been only doing Friendlies, not so much rank.

But I've faced plenty of smart players that knew what they were doing in Friendlies

Actually, I'm about to finally do some rank right now, lessee what we can do here
