@@MomSmoocha SO IS LOWEEMON IN BATTLE SPIRIT 2!HE'S CHEAP!SHADOW METEOR INTO DEMON SLASH!EX AGUNIMON AND EX LOBOMON ARE GREAT TOO!!!!!!FIRE!LIGHT!AND DARKNESS!
Looking back at these past sets, it's absolutely amazing to me on how far these 2 players have progressed and evolved over the years to ultimately deliver the strength of Pokkén for a grand finale to remember.
The fact that this 3 year old game has much better graphics and animations and backgrounds then sword and shield is insane. I know that they are very different but seriously they could have done better.
Tbf of course a fighting game is gonna have better animations but yeah I get your point. Pokémon is handled better by literally every company except game freak
The Character models and animations of Pokken are great but.... What? Better backgrounds? Better graphics overall? I'm just gonna call it and say you haven't played SwSh, and maybe haven't seen it ether for longer than a few screenshots in a tumblr post.
@@AnthanKrufix Bro, Sword and Shield looks like trash, it has decent lighting and shading, that's about it, the environment, models and animations are almost all sub par at best, there's really no excuse for how piss poor the overall quality is, considering it's a triple A title on a new console.
@@an0rangutan Stay off Tumblr rants and actually play the game for yourself. The Environment is great, the models are the best in the series and the animations are superb.
Commentary could be better. Seem a bit sided & got caught up on details like the terror of Nightmare mode & Celebi being useless to counter it. Awesome match, don't watch so much PTDX but interest is stirring again.
Man, Pokken is so fun to watch... would you guys say the game is worth getting as a casual fighting game player? I only very rarely get to play against real people, but I like futzing around in solo every now and then. Is there enough substance here for that sort of player?
I'd say so there is a story mode that would probably keep you entertained honestly all the characters are unique and fun and all support combos help keep the game fresh like your not experiencing the same match ups over and over again I highly recommend it Edit: This game is mostly dead now so if you do decide to play online it might take you a little while to find a match
@@whitesoul7856 Thank you, I think i'll actually give it a shot then - the last game I really kept up with the online in was SF IV Arcade Edition, I believe, so I don't think it being dead will be much of an issue for me. These days I suck way too hard to compete anyway. ^^
"We've seen 6-0 run backs before. We've seen a bracket reset and then things just fall apart." Can somebody please translate that into English please? And what even is a reset?
This is a double elimination tournament, which is standard for many competitive games. They run a standard tournament, usually referred to as the "winners bracket", and the person who wins finals then waits while everyone else basically starts another tournament, generally known as the "losers bracket." This is why it's called double elimination, you have to lose twice in order to actually lose, first in the winners bracket, then again in the losers bracket. Once the losers bracket completes, the finalist from the winners bracket faces the finalist of the losers bracket in "Grand Finals." If the finalist from the winners bracket wins the set, the other person has technically lost twice, having lost once to end up in losers bracket in the first place, and Grand Finals ends. But if the finalist from the losers bracket wins, then the other person has only lost once, and they have to play another set so that one of the two will have lost twice. This is known as a "bracket reset." If a set consists of a "best of 5 matches," then winning 3 matches will win the set. So a "6-0 run back" is a Grand Finals round in which the finalist from the losers bracket wins the first 3 matches of the first set, causing the bracket reset described above, and then wins the first 3 matches of the second set as well, winning the entire tournament. Hope this explains it. If not, you can always look up "double-elimination tournament" on Wikipedia for further clarification.
@@caolanochearnaigh9804 imagine every person gets one loss in a tournament. We see that Mewtator is on winners side, and shadowcat is on loser's side. Shadowcat lost earlier in the tournament to someone else, so he needs to win two sets. Mewtator didnt lose, so he only needs to win one in grand finals. Reset is when the person in loser's (shadowcat) wins the first set, and the bracket is "reset" to where now both players are in loser's.
Alphazone Same, also grand finals will have the most views (unless something crazy happened before) and therefore it will have more newer players watching. I don’t play the game ever and this came up on my feed.
Tbh I fucking love biased commentary, it makes it so much better when the player thats biased won or lost, go look at the skullgirls Europe evo side event finals, that was great.
@@カイ-i2u sorry wasn't trying to be mean, but, they were saying somethings that commentators should not be saying about the active players and just were not carrying good energy for the audience to listen to
I love pokken mechanics, but this commentator is horrible. It’s like watching a shitty anime where a character uses a move and a side character takes up 30 seconds of screen time sugar coating the move and explaining the move. Like, goddamn. If I wanted that sort of commentary I’d go watch your generic shonen anime fight or some shit.
Darkrai is so entertaining to watch
Agreed
@Carroll Colberg lmao
ikr
Yeah but fr forgot this guy existed

You are legit the only thing keeping this game alive
I swear it’s so entertaining watching a darkrai destroy another Pokemon in this game
I'm glad i main darkrai lol
It's like watching a loony toon in real time😂
Aegislash is my secondary main
I actually loved that commentator, some Ray Hudson esque passion. "He stuck with the girl he came to dance with" hahaha keep at it my guy
This game needs more publicity
True
I’ll hold you to that
Looking back at these past sets, it's absolutely amazing to me on how far these 2 players have progressed and evolved over the years to ultimately deliver the strength of Pokkén for a grand finale to remember.
Darkrai was utterly destroying mewtwo in nightmare mode
Darkrai looks very intimidating. I like that

Anthan Krufix Yeah I gotta agree with you on this. It’s fun to complain about Pokémon but not everything is worse.

Love Trap character archetypes. So glad darkrai was added in pokken!
Darkroom is BS as hell

This is why I love darkrai. I main sceptile but play darkrai and scizor too.
When is the next pokken tournament dx event in Illinois
i main chandelure and im trying to pick up darkrai as well and boy that nightmare mode X combo was epic
Shadowcat design looks same with darkrai.Very powerful
Wait a minute... isn’t Dark immune to psychic?
(Crickets chirping)
is this a joke
Dark has never been immune to psychic.
Lol yes but not in this game
@@mintiimidnight Uh, yes it is, never played a main series game before?
We love an eloquent commentator.
Jesus that commentator needs to _delete_ himself from existence.

@@shocker4510 Thanks bro, my biological OS (commonly known as a "brain") was practically melting because of information overload...
I got 20 quid on Darkrai, who's with me?
EDIT: YESSSS!!!!!!! MY BOY SHADOW CAME THROUGH!!!! HE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!! WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this event happening in 2022
My dude this is grand finals you don't need to spend the whole match telling us how the characters and game works
Get yipes on the mic
OOH
THE SCHMOOVMENT
I've never seen Pokken before, so I'm happy he explained
Alphazone Same, also grand finals will have the most views (unless something crazy happened before) and therefore it will have more newer players watching. I don’t play the game ever and this came up on my feed.
bad take
dual phase darkai = instant win
This game is really entertaining to watch but I'm really not a huge fan of the slightly biased commentary...
Tbh I fucking love biased commentary, it makes it so much better when the player thats biased won or lost, go look at the skullgirls Europe evo side event finals, that was great.
I love darkrai unfortunately I don’t know how to use it 😢
The real secret is just learning way to get into nightmare mode and how his attacks function and after that just findign what you like
Let's all be honest: Darkrai is way OP I like it because I love Darkrai
21:34 the fuck were they saying
24:55 and this
26:48 ugh
What game is this?
Pokken Tournament DX
Darkrai Gaming
Mewtater V ShadowCat
This game camera angle bothers me so much. 😡😡
My brother bet me $40 that Darkrai would lose...
Bad call, bro!
whatever commentator that was, just observe more and write thoughts on paper. you're annoying.
word spam.
These commentators are twaash
Why so mean :(
