Or we can pair Caeda with her Mirage Master Tsubasa. Because let's face it, nothing says "canon" more than a girl who loves to ride on her partner's mechanical pegasus.

Turns out I have three eggs in Pokémon GO, all 2km ones.

I'll try hatch them tomorrow.

Nah. Caeda is more like a mother figure if you think about it.

But for Kiria, we can easily interpret Tsubasa's fangirl obsession and shyness with her as something more. Don't me started on their Give Me duet together.

Garchomp in EVO top 8.

Call me when there's a Machamp and/or Blaziken

 

[Depressed Gengar]

A ****ing Drowzee. That's seriously the creepiest thing. Like, considering what Drowzee does and where it was. Eugh.

Welcome to the club, mate. That was my first non-starter Pokémon that I caught.

Garchomp in EVO top 8.

Another Garchomp fan?

Let's hope our boy carries through. *thumbs up*

Well of course.

He's my Pokken main!

So I've been on Source Gaming and one of the things I read reminded me of an interesting bit of trivia.

You'd think with Hey You Pikachu packing a mic and the DS having tons of games with voice/breath controls that mics were some kind of new innovation at those times, right?

Actually no, it dates all the way back to Japanese copies of the NES, I.E. the Famicom.

Weirdly enough, I discovered via Source Gaming that it was actually implemented into the P2 controller.

I looked up the list of games that used it, and two of them are actually pretty well-known Smash series titles: The Legend of Zelda and Kid Icarus.

Zelda used it to kill certain enemies and, for what I remembered from the first time I heard of this, Kid Icarus let you haggle for lower prices.

. . .I now have the mental image of someone awkwardly holding two controllers and screaming into one for a bargain, and it's beautiful.

If Nintendo somehow re-implemented the functionality into Virtual Console releases and slipped it into the western versions, that'd be neat. I doubt they'd waste the time on it, but I'd kind of want to try begging for cheaper wares myself.

Could it be Eyedol?

He's like, the one missing veteran...

Okay, he was an unplayable boss, but then again, so was Gargos!

Eyedol won't be in.

For reasons I don't recall right now but I'm sure Wario knows.

Eyedol & Gargos were both playable in the classic titles by entering a cheat in their respective games.

As for Eyedol to be the reveal, I'm not too sure. Last week the KI team released a survey mostly about characters and included a lot of as if Season 4 is possible and Eyedol was on that list.

This sounds so fake but it's apparently real??

If this is a legit mechanic that's freaking brilliant!

 

[Chrono.]

Are Weavile or Suicune on the Pokken TOP 8?

 

[Bananija]

Is there hope to see a Machamp on the Pokken top 8?

 

[Wario Bros.]

How about muh gurl Pikachu Libre for the top 8?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Are Weavile or Suicune on the Pokken TOP 8?

Dude, there's like a bajillion Suicunes.

He's like top 3.

Happy Birthday @Zoroarking

I might as well leave this here as a gift.

Spoiler

Yo, I need a source on that art to see if there's more like it

 

[ChikoLad]

I just realised Endless Possibilities has never had a Crush 40 remix and now I'm sad.

It'd be so hype if they played it at the Sonic 25th Birthday Party on Friday or if they played it at Summer of Sonic.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Is gardevoir winning tourneys? No? Then i dont care

i dont have pokken anyway


Literally 0 pokemon in my entire neighborhood.

At my work though? Filled to the brim with pokemon and their was even a dratini.

Seems like I lost the pokemon GO lottery with my home address

 

[Z25]

I'd want Machamp in the top 8. Just because Machamp is cool. IF we got a pokken fighters rep in Smash, it should be him.

The only "Pokkén character" is Shadow Mewtwo.

Machamp is just a plain ol' Pokémon.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I still need to get Pokken.

I'm set on maining Gengar just for the fact that it is Gengar.

I recall hearing somewhere that Crush 40 (or more so Jun Senoue) had little interest in doing a cover of Endless Possibilities.

Which is a shame, because no doubt they would do a good job.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Not sure if I should get Pokken. It seems a lot of fun, but by the time I get a Wii U, the NX will probably be released...

Isn't that what incenses are for?

Mario pretty much loses to every other top tier because, like I said, he has no real main strength while they all do. His disadvantages aren't huge and he just has solid stats all-around, but his advantages are never huge either. That's just not a top tier character. That's a high tier. Top tier characters dominate and have match-ups so obviously skewed in their favour (Rosalina VS Ness for example), which Mario does not have.

If Mario really, truly lost to every top tier and just had "average traits" I don't think two different players would have won incredibly stacked majors with mostly solo Mario. I don't even understand where you're getting this conclusion that he loses to "pretty much every top tier", anyways.

Claiming Mario has solid stats all-around is completely false. He has some of the best moves in the game (bair, uair, nair, dair, usmash/fsmash, dthrow, up-b) alongside notably not-"average character" traits such as top tier boxing, juggling, air game, and damage/kill potential.

Cloud fills the same role as Mario (being an easy to use character that anyone can get into easily), but is much superior to Mario in everything from his projectile, his range, his speed, his power, and in the fact he has Limit. His recovery is weak but Mario will have a harder time getting Cloud off-stage than the other way around. Cloud also has match-ups that are obviously in his favour.

Blade Beam is really bad and has just worse overall data/usability than Fireball. Cloud's onstage presence is hindered by his weak grounded game (poor throws+terrible grab, lack of a safe grounded poke, etc. His best move on the ground is just super camping.), something that Mario doesn't have to worry about as much (mostly due to his amazing grab game and strong grounded normals).

If Cloud really, truly were just straight up better than Mario he would be filling top 32s (he doesn't) and Cloud players would have won majors already (aNTi's pocket doesn't count).

Cloud's disadvantage is also a notable flaw that continues to rear its head. As Cloud counterplay continues to evolve, so does the edgeguarding. While Down Air is a silly, silly move, it isn't invincible and people are aware of this. Cloud is combo food and his weak recovery is continually exploited.

Cloud nerfs hurt a lot more than people realize; the roll weakening was somewhat notable, and the LCS nerf was a slap on the wrist, but the Up Air change was huge. Cloud lost a safe poke and a reliable killing juggle tool.

This is no different to how Rosalina is always ranked above Ryu on any tier list because, while more people play as Ryu and he probably technically has a better player base, Rosalina shuts Ryu down so hard it doesn't matter, plus a Rosalina in the right hands will do just as well against the rest of the cast, if not better than Ryu. So Rosalina automatically gets a higher position regardless of how she herself is doing in tournaments.

This is pure theory and doesn't reflect upon the rest of your post at all.

Winning/losing a specific and somewhat uncommon matchup (which he doesn't actually "get shut down so hard", you're gonna have to explain that) doesn't make a character better outright. That's not how tier lists work.

Like I said, Ally is just really good, and he put in a lot of work. Not anybody can just win with Mario. We cannot begin to consider Mario top tier until we see a bunch of newbies placing highly with him, or players of other characters suddenly switching to him and doing well.

Mario, from a purely statistical standpoint, was already everywhere in tournaments at every skill level. Just because he isn't winning tournaments or carrying players or whatever doesn't mean he isn't top tier.

I don't understand how "no one can just win with Mario" proves anything. What is that supposed to mean? No character can just cruise you to top 8 in this game's current state.

Well damn. Hope that changes one day.

At least we have the cover made for the Unleashed Project.

Machamp is just a plain ol' Pokémon.

Yes, but I mean if they chose a rep based on Pokken that would fight like how they do in Pokken, rather then let's choose a new gen's mascot mon or fan favorite.

Anywway, this is interesting:

http://pokejungle.net/2016/07/13/another-island-guardian-pokemon/

People point this out in the new trailer. Could this be the green island guardian?

In the comments they were saying it's a mega T-tar sticker but that's not the case. The body is completely off and more squid like it seems, or even alien.

It could be nothing or a new mon, but what do you think?

If true this is a clever way to hide a new pokemon.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Something tells me Pokkén Tournament could make Killer Instinct's stream wait a bit.

At least Pokkén Tournament is enjoyable to watch.

 

[Bananija]

The only "Pokkén character" is Shadow Mewtwo.

Machamp is just a magnificient and highly charismatic Pokémon.

Fixed it for you, no need to thanks me.

Machamp is the best Pokkén pokémon in my opinion.

Looks like someone spat a loogie on the 3DS.

AKA too blurry to tell.

And humorously enough, you know who I learned this from? Jontron of all people. It featured in his Takeshi's Challenge video.
