The freezes only happen when the perspective changes triggered by specific attacks, so it's probably there because without them it would be disorienting that the camera keeps wizzing around randomly with no warning. The freeze is that warning to the player that didn't trigger the "phaze change" that the perspective is about to change, while also letting the player who successfully triggered the phase change know that they pulled it off successfully. I'm 100% sure that's the result of play testing and is better off that way than the alternative.

It's a similar reason why the action always freezes for a split second in Killer Instinct during a combo breaker.

Anybody that wants to predict gen 1 playable pokemon, step right up pls :) http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=197179&page=1

OT: Here's hoping to go to wiiu by next year!

When it gets announced as being localized,then ill take that as conifmration lol

I rarely read many things, ever. Also, I don't mean "just the original 151" as some hippy dippy, "the good ol' days", kind of mentality. I meant as it it might be too much of a hassle to animate some 700 pokemans. It's possible of course, but it may take too long.  If they were to make a full 3D pokemon adventure on the Wii U, open world and all, just use the original 151 and probably just a remake of red/green. I'm sure most people would be alright with them.

That's fine lol and you can be the only one excited because everyone else knows it's happening.

There are 5 generations of Pokemon fans from other gens vs the 1 from gen 1. A lot of people would be pissed that none of their favories are represented. If they want to make a game like that, they'd need to make an equal amount of of Pokemon from each gen and set it in a new region. And it wouldn't realistically reach that many Pokemon anyway.

Which Pokken is already doing.

Which I said already.

In my original post.

Which you should have read.

I seriously think it could even release world wide this year! Tekken 7 is coming to arcades next month, and it was only location tested 4 months ago. I think that Pokken will be playable at APEX for western location testing, it will release in Japanese arcades in June, and then it may come out in October/November/December WW on Wii U.

im getting Naruto UNS vibes

Still think 2016 sounds good, but i gladly be wrong :)

My interest in pokemon is not nearly high enough to read all that. It's great that pokken is including a nice mix of all of them but I'm not sure that pokemon fighting game is what everybody was thinking when they thought pokemon on the Wii U. If it turns out to be great, fantastic. Until I see a chair pokemon in pokken,  I am doubtful of how it will turn out.
