Capcom pro-play legend Justin Wong and other well-known faces from the FGC have taken to the game. With a system that complex, itвЂ™s not surprise that Marvel vs. ItвЂ™s not quite as complicated as the strengths/weaknesses algorithm used in the mainline PokГ©mon games, but itвЂ™s definitely up there compared to other games in the genre. Normal attacks blow through throws, throws intercept counters, and counters snuff normals, and on top of that, overheads are strong against low attacks, low attacks have priority over anti-airs, and like you probably already guessed, anti-airs almost always win against over heads. There are also at least two overlapping вЂњRock Paper ScissorsвЂќ power triangles to consider. This makes PokkГ©n essentially two fighting games in one, overlapping each other in ways that allow skilled players to take advantage of both styles of play, sometimes in rapid succession. That is until you or your opponent pull off one of a few specific types of moves, then presto-chango, youвЂ™re suddenly playing a traditional 2D fighter. Not only does every character have a completely different move set from the last, but right off the bat, you start a round being able to move on the X, Y, and Z axis. While depth in a fighting game is usually measured by how far down the skill hole you can get each character through that gameвЂ™s specific combat system, breadth is measured more by how wide the potential tool set is in the game, and boy howdy, does PokkГ©n offer plenty of both.

More than anything, IвЂ™ve been taken aback by how much breadth and depth there is to be found here. Capcom, but not much about it feels like Tekken. PokkГ©n has some elements in common with Naruto Shippuden, Dead or Alive, Marvel vs. Like many of you, I expected PokkГ©n Tournament to play like TekkenВ but with PokГ©mon in the ring instead of the usually assortment of robots, animals, and other eccentrics from NamcoвЂ™s long-running fighting franchise.

Casual players might find it overwhelming
