Pokken Tournament: A collaboration between Pokemon and the Tekken team

Double post but ah well.

TVT works fine, looks like. Ready whenever yall are.

Wait, right now? Well, okay then!

Might be a bit too late for some people, but I blanked on this til a moment ago I'll admit.

But with the TVT VS. Code set any can jump in whenever - I'll probably be messing around with the game again earlier in the evening tomorrow after this.

So this is what happens after you don't touch a game you barely practiced for a months; you suck.

And I think today was my first time trying Chandelure.

Wouldn't go that far. You won a couple of matches. Playing with multiple people will be a little awkward looking at the post match options, though, but I guess if you always pick "choose next opponent" it should rotate every one fairly evenly.

Yeah, if we can get more than two people to use the code, everyone should keep picking "next opponent" so we all get shuffled matches.

Man, I never really used anyone else but Braixen and somewhat practiced Lucario. I should get a grip on some of the basics on all the fighters.

More? I'm already waiting.

Think I'm alright for now since it's pretty late already. My bad for forgetting about this until so late, but I'll have some time in the evening tomorrow, too.

Probably gonna be on around 8 or 9 in the evening, -6 GMT.

This eight hour difference, man.

Anywho, I'll hop in here to keep posted if this will pick up or not.

Alright. Now seems like a good time. Anybody up now for any matches?

Sure! Maybe... depends on if my brother's gone to bed yet or not.

But I'll be joining in just a few moments~

Since the matchmaking system for friendly matches is as bad as most Nintendo things

to play using the VS Code, put in TVT through the VS Code input, set who you'll play with to "Anyone", and opt to use the VS Code.

You'll be put into a queue as with all the other online game types. I think it randomly matches you with everyone using that VS. Code, but I've never played with more than one person before.

Aaaaaaaand I can't actually access my Wii U for the moment, sorry. But fellow tropers or not have fun either way~

Hopefully tomorrow turns up better luck.

You're doing this now? Imma get onnthen. Just remember to keep picking "next opponent" with the code still on so we cycle the matches.

Yeeep. Ah well. Or not. Could go some rounds again, anyway.

Pokken's in a not so distant second to Marvel 3 Ultimate for the Evo main stage vote.

There's still interest - or at least money - involved in the game, considering nothing else is even close to those two.

That, or Pokemon is just that popular.

It's a combination I'd say; Pokémon is just that popular, so it still keeps people interested in seeing this game being competetively played.

plus the game looks amazing

Good point; the shifting between a 3D and 2D plane give spectators a change of pace even if they don't understand what the hell is going on.

And yes, it gorgeus.

I need to double check I got all tropers NNID's added for this, Splatoon, Smash, Mario Maker, Bayonetta 2, Shadow Over Mystara, Runbow, probably a few others I missed...

This guy reminds me of why this game's ranking system is so busted and why, if it does get a sequel or port, I hope they reexamine it closely.

I'm ranked C1 (middle-ish) and he's A1 (very high), so imo, we really shouldn't be matched up at all, but whatever. I beat him first round and he disconnects to protect his rank, which you can do with next to no penalty but a dip in win record (his is abysmally low for an A1 ranked player, so he probably does this a lot.) and a loss in money, which is inconsequential since the only thing you use it for is customizing your avatar's clothing.

Disconnecting penalizes your win record but not your rank? Then what the fuck is the point of the penalty?!

Also, I everyone is free to shoot me all the messages into my inbox to play this or anything with them!

To avoid rewarding disconnection with easy opponents?

... Why would you disconnect against an easy opponent? Or at all, really. Disconnecting is rude.

The Pokken / Ultimate Marvel 3 vote is close, but in an odd way.

There's almost twice as many people voting for Marvel 3, but it's only got a few thousand on Pokken. There's people whining about this and saying Nintendo fans are rich or something but honestly I do find it kind of interesting.

Not really sure where all the salt's coming from, though. Marvel 3 has maintained a consistent lead and will probably get the mainfloor spot anyway.

The dontions have already ended. It was super close, but i witnessed in the last 5 minutes of the drive Justin Wong himself dropped 2k right into the Marvel Pot, followed by a whooping 3k from other last minute donators. Which really sucks because we had just gotten the lead, but oh well.

Now the FGC cant say we are a dead community as they claimed. In addition, EVO is donationg 10K to help support Pokken Major Tourneys to get more set ups and prize pools.
