| MTZehvor said: I think you might want to look up the word "literally," because it certainly doesn't mean whatever you think it means. The 2.5 D perspective is very much inspired by Tekken; the developers have said as much in interviews, and considering it was built on the same engine that Tekken runs on, it would pretty much have to be inspired. I'm not sure how you can really argue against that. As for the control scheme, it's a simplified version of the control scheme, obviously, but one still heavily rooted in Tekken, designed for dashing in quickly and trying to get a set up on your opponent, while spending most of the game in footsies. |
It doesn't use the 2.5D perspective that Tekken uses at all. It goes from traditional 2D, which is nothing like Tekken as there is no sidestepping which is "literally" the only reason Tekken can qualify itself as a 2.5D fighter at all, to full 3D action, which exists absolutely nowhere in traditional Tekken. That means that a whopping 0% of the perspective is taken from Tekken. It doesn't matter what the devs said on the matter. It's false.
As for the control scheme, it's not a simplified version of anything Tekken. It's a completely different control scheme based on completely different mechanics. Tekken's controls are based on individual limbs. There is also traditionally little to no projectiles in Tekken. Pokken controls "literally" nothing like that. If anything, it's an adapted version of the control scheme in Super Smash Bros. for a 3D environment.
Y is a Weak Attack, or a Tilt in Smash
X is a Strong Attack, or a Smash in Smash
A is a Pokemon Attack, or a Special in Smash
B is Jump and given its own dedicated button unlike any other fighting game including Tekken but exactly like Smash (and the Naruto action games)
R is Guard, or Sheild in Smash
The only major difference is that Grab/Throw move requires two buttons (Y+B) instead of just the one like in Smash.
It's nothing like Tekken that isn't also true of all competitive action games.
You're talking out of your ass.
Literally.
