37 Tekken Moves You Can Find In Pokkén | Part 2

Pokkén Tournament DX (Nintendo Switch) - Tekken characters moves and animation references. The 2nd part will focus on Switch version including new Pokémon. Several Tekken Easter eggs can be found in this game since it were developed by Bandai Namco.

Seeing a frog perform Miguel's one hit move is the best thing I've seen all day

[@eViLPaCcc]

Yeah, but it's nerfed compared to Miguel's for no apparent reason - it can be blocked, does only 200 damage (most characters have around 540-600) and causes an instant Phase Shift (main mechanic in the game that switched it between an arena fighter and a 2d fighter basically) while having the same start-up

It's honestly pretty cool how most of these Tekken references translate so well into Pokémon. Like basing Scizor off of JACK/Alisa for example makes a ton of sense thematically, as does Blastoise with Kuma.

[@blok--head7472]

One could say it's "lazy" reusing assets from Tekken... However the fact they got really creative with how they implemented those assets, while staying true to the pokemon itself, is very commendable.

[@PeterJamesVillegas]

Instead of a Kip-up, Blastoise used his shell to roll over up to place. Nice touch.

Pretty nice

When I saw Blastoise with some of Heihachi's moves, I have just got reminded that the voice of Heihachi in Tekken 7 voiced Blastoise in the Pokemon anime in Japanese.

[@grinbrothers]

1:48 - The fact that the floating sword and quadruped mythical dog share animations/attacks with any of the Tekken cast is insane. What a cool find and great of you to show it off here. I also find it amusing that Blastoise is a combo of Armour King and Kuma... perhaps that is why Blastoise clicked so well with me in this game (though I'm a Chandelure main; Blastoise would be my 2nd pick).

[@RenShinomiya121]

Chandelure also borrows animations from Soulcalibur. Since Project Soul also had a hand making this game.

[@grinbrothers]

As someone who’s played pokken for years since release and recently getting into tekken, I get excited and point out which Pokémon had which move when I see them while watching tekken tournaments. After trying out Hwoarang, I’m surprised Blaziken didn’t have his moves. Some of them would have been very helpful in the neutral

first, you are looking for either a fighting game or the hack and slash genre. Second, animatimg each poke would be pain, there are 950+ poke as we speak and if the h&s genre can't adapt 100 characters, how could they adapt 950?

There's also the name of the region the game takes place from - Ferrum. As in "Iron". As in "Iron Fist" As in "Tekken".

Harada is the one directing Pokken, hence the Tekken name reference and the various stages like Dragon's Gate

Hunting hawk performed by a bird pokemon... Truly ELEGANT

[@thelastgogeta]

Damn, I already wanted Decidueye in Smash from a design and type perspective, who knew that he has my T3 main's moves as well.

[@budgetcoinhunter]

Smash already has plenty of pure zoning characters, and Pokken had plenty of grapplers. Incineroar in Smash makes much more sense for being really the only grappling character in the game.

[@thelastgogeta]

@@budgetcoinhunter I see where you are coming from and even warmed up to John Cena Roar quickly, but I think it misses how grappling is different in Smash to the point that everyone is a bit of a grappler - Luigi is the most extreme case that survived into Ultimate. Incineroar is definitely low mobility, unlike say Ganondorf and more going on with his grabs but it isn't like he has the best reward outside of Revenge.
