The Pokken reveal is today? When?

So I can just say I'm 5 now and people can't question it?

Actually, I wonder what saying "I'm 1,000 years old" would entail in this context...

 

[Pazzo.]

Oh hey, that Pokken trailer is for today?

How was that game anyway?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

When it comes to content, I feel it really will all end on this presentation. Ending it with a bang seems appropriate and saves the trouble of giving people false hope. The only thing I can think of is if any character announced would appear later down the line in 2016 but thats it.

Anyway, got Undertale since I finally was able to get more money into my steam account.

Spoiler: Spoilers

I'm stuck at the Toriel fight. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing. Especially in a game where "nobody has to die." I haven't tried the fight option, but I feel that would be the wrong choice.

What did the froggit's say to you

Edit: someone already said that, lol

 

[ChikoLad]

Just sharing this since I thought it was funny.

Clickbait websites will tell you that the game is flopping hard in Japan and was a massive failure.

 

[ChikoLad]

Pokkén Tournament is a great game by the looks of it but apparently it didn't do well at all in one of the biggest Japanese arcades and they actually took out the unit as a result.

It's a bit of blow but a lot of sites said everywhere was taking it out which isn't true.

 

[LucarioDude]

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!

 

[Soul.]

Pokkén is good but I'm kinda worried about the content. The character roster it has is fine for an arcade game, but for a console game... eh?

Well I guess it's like SFV. more room to balance.

Oh. Sceptile yay LOL

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Still waiting for Scizor

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!

Sweet. ** Looks like a lot of fun. I like sceptile, Reminds me of much less controversy there is when it comes non crossover fighting game rosters. Where a character can just be in, because hey, they're cool. Erm.... Most of the time anyway.

 

[ChikoLad]

Sceptile looks like one of the more fun characters to use in the game. I'll be sure to try him out when I get the game.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Sceptile should have been the Support Pokémon while Farfetch'd was the playable character.

 

[Chrono.]

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!

Damn

That moveset looks REALLY good. (dat Izuna Drop)

The Burst Attack was just the icing on the cake

 

[Soul.]

So can we have Swampert now, I mean the Fire/Grass/Water-type pattern from Smash needs to be in Pokkén too!

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!

he looks super overpowered.lol

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm not too fussed about what characters get into Pokken (then again, I'm not even that fussed with Smash at this point).

It might be an unpopular opinion but I hope Greninja gets in because my best friend loves him. And he's kinda grown on me with Smash.

 

[Chrono.]

Swampert would be great, in all honesty.

 

[Solfiner]

Dropping in to hype about SCEPTILE

AW YEAH

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

Still waiting for Scizor

I want Lysandre and Gurdurr for Pokken.

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!

Too bad he was leaked tho :/
Still, he looks cool af and I guess I just got a third potential main

 

[BluePikmin11]

I AM FREE OF EXAMS NOW! YAY!

Regarding the veterans:
Ideally, I think every veteran coming back would be great to see happen.
IMO, it would make for the best character game when seeing every veteran fan's request fulfilled.

Ok. So let's look who's going to be at these events.
and... Jinbanyan?
BluePikmin11

I'm completely aware of the tours. However, I'm too far from any of the malls to go there. ;(

 

[Bananija]

Oh yeah, I just remembered I made a bet with Bananija some time ago
Get ready for your new avi soon enough, buddy

Don't sell the onionskin before killing it. And by far we both lose.

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!

He looks awesome to play as.

 

[Substitution]

Can't wait for the conspiracy theories that Sceptile is in Smash.

Though in all seriousness he looks great. Now all we need is Swampert and the trio is complete.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I want Lysandre and Gurdurr for Pokken.

Isn't that a person?

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

Isn't that a person?

Yeah... What's wrong with that?

 

[Z25]

Sceptile looks great! Wouldn't mind Swampert but as I said, I want each gen to have a rep first before adding in other gen reps.

And the Mercedes Benz Course in Mario Maker is pretty awesome!

Yeah... What's wrong with that?

The game only includes pokemon. Maybe as an avatar but that seems unlikely.

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!

Not how I would have imagined it's moveset, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hyped for it's inclusion. The roster really needed a Grass type and Sceptile is by far my favorite starter.
Just gotta wait for Greninja to be confirmed so we can finish all the obvious additions beyond maybe Zoroark.

 

[ChikoLad]

How to feel melancholy (or if you're in my situation, more melancholy than usual):

Step 1) Listen to the Xenoblade Chronicles title theme on loop for a half an hour.
Step 2) There is no Step 2.

But yeah I have really gotten into the game. I'm near 30 hours now, at the Tomb of the High Entia or whatever it's called.

Yes I know that's basically saying "I've only started".

 

[Substitution]

And the Mercedes Benz Course in Mario Maker is pretty awesome!

I'm just hoping this all leads up to a Mario themed Mercedes Benz. I can't drive but I'd buy that regardless.

That be awesome! I to wouldn't be able to afford one lol.

 

[Radical Bones]

Am I the only one that thought Pokken was better in concept than in execution?

I loved the idea of the game but seeing it in action I probably won't ever buy it. Doesn't really seem like there's a whole lot to do. Arcade makes sense based on content.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I want Swampert to be this really slow and powerful character. I mean, look at this Mega Evolution:

Don't skip Leg Day everyone.

As is, the Roster(And content in general) just feels way too small to be a full on 60$ game.

 

[PushDustIn]

Same here. Once the dust is settled I will be gone.

I will never settle!

PushDustIn : Hey push. I have a quick question for you guys. So, the final presentation for Smash is obviously coming up. In the next couple of days, GameXplain will have a predictions discussion about the Direct.

Would it be possible for you to maybe contact them and see if they could have you as well as maybe some of the SG crew on that discussion at all? It would be really cool to see happen! It could definitely give some more publicity to your website.

Anyone else want to see it happen?

Already asked. If you guys ask too it might make it more likely!

CyberHyperPhoenix
Yes SourceCast #6 will be broadcast live through the power of the Internet! We will have a special guest, so please stay tune as I figure everything out and coordinate everyone's schedule!

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

There is always some sort of content that is added into the console release of arcade games, I really won't worry about it tbh.

 

[Chrono.]

Yeah... What's wrong with that?

Masuda is against adding human characters as playable.

Harada mentioned it in an interview months ago.

 

[powerprotoman]

Chesnaught? What even is that thing? How would it even fight? It's kinda sad.

"Please end my pathetic existence."

Greninja and Feraligator would be ok I guess. I'd prefer for more type variety and obscure Pokemon like Suicune. I'd like to see Scizor and Gallade specifically.

Um... you're joking right? Chesnaught is a FIGHTING type, what do you mean how would it fight? Also, it'd probably be a grappler-tank like Zangief or Armor King most likely. Probably get Super Armor as a special ability.

Edit: Honestly I could see him getting moves like Bowser's throws... in fact. Yeah. Sm4sh Bowser is the perfect example on how it fights. I fully expect a grab where he throws them up and spins around so when they fall on him they get multiple hits from his spikes.

 

[Opossum]

For reference, Pokken is still missing a Normal, Rock, Ground, Bug, and Dragon (not including Mega Charizard or Mega Sceptile) Pokemon. Garchamp alone takes care of two of those.
