Pokken Tournament is a "competitive action" rather than a "competitive fighting game."

True, until you add the directional pad (buffs and debuffs), teleportation, and strategy among fighters. But that's the thing, anyone can pick it up. To master a character is hard.

But Injustice is easy to pick up and hard to master, yet still manages to be a standard fighting game. I don't get how Pokken couldn't do the same.

The question isn't whether it could or couldn't, it's just not the game they're trying to make. (And even that's just speculation, who knows really.)
