| Runa216 said: I was also a little disappointed in this but not because of my like or dislike for the pokemon in question. We already had Fire (Charizard), Normal/Fairy (Jigglypuff), Psychic (Mewtwo), Electric (Pikachu/Pichu), Fighting/steel (Lucario), and Water/Dark (Greninja). I think a Fire/Dark Type doesn't really add anything to the roster, especially a Fire/Dark pokemon with a heavy emphasis on fighting styles and techniques. Decidueye would add a much needed Grass/Ghost type combination to the table while also being unlike any other pokemon or fighter. I'm not saying Incineroar is a bad pokemon, I just think Decidueye would have fit better and brought some balance to the pokemon representation in the game. I also would LOVE to see Garchomp in the game if only for its shape and type combination (Ground/Dragon would be awesome and I imagine it being a tank with little to no recovery given its lack of wings). Then again, I know that: 1 - They were only looking at modern pokemon from the newest generation, and 2 - I'm pretty much alone in my love for Garchomp. They didn't do wrong by me and I don't think they made a bad choice, I just think that, for Gen VII's representative they could have done better. |
From watching the TH stream I disagree as Incineroar's play style is very unique for Smash as he's a Zangief style grappler, his down smash (revenge) is going to be key in the meta surrounding him.
