Surprisingly, only two of the announced characters are fighting types, but it seems like Harada is trying to make the roster as diverse as possible with Pokken. These additions bring Pokken up to 5 announced characters (with Blaziken being teased in the initial Pokken Tournament teaser). It appears that knowing when to switch between these two planes will become an important part of the meta. Secondly, there's the up close and traditional style of 3D Fighters.

Pikachu (unsurprisingly) uses Volt Tackle, and Suicune uses an interesting ice move.Īlso confirmed, was the mechanic of assist Pokemon. It also appears that Machamp uses an attack that looks like Earth Power for his Burst Attack.
