I'm Really Terrible at Fighting Games


Pahrak Model ZX

886 views

This is the story of a trainer named Pahrak and his trusty Chandelure.

 

Pahrak and Chandelure arrived in the Ferrum Region, having heard tales of the Pokken Tournament and deciding they wanted to compete. A girl named Nia was kind enough to teach them the basics of how Ferrum Battles worked, and after getting down the basics, Pahrak and Chandelure decided to get started.

 

It was immediately apparent that Pahrak really had no idea what he was doing, but his sheer dumb luck seemed to work for a time. He and Chandelure made it into the Green League’s top 8 after only two sets of trainers, won the tournament, and earned their rank promotion!

 

But then, a mysterious Shadow Mewtwo appeared. Chandelure was defeated in mere seconds.

 

Though shaken, Pahrak and Chandelure moved on to the Blue League. Though still a relatively low league, it seemed Pahrak’s luck had run out, and his lack of skill finally caught up with him. The team has managed to start their climb up the rankings and have yet to suffer a loss, but nearly every victory is won by an incredibly slim margin. Pahrak is unsure if he can guide Chandelure even through the rest of this league, let alone the Red and Chroma Leagues beyond. It remains to be seen if he can ever master the techniques of “Blocking” and “Dodging”…

 

(Pokken’s definitely fun, I just wish I was better at it. *sigh*)

I swear the timing on getting some of these moves are surprisingly strict, though that's mostly the Burst Mode combos that end in Burst Attacks, which aren't worth it anyways due to very heavy damage scaling. It's not too big a problem though, given that even shorter combos do pretty good amounts of damage.

You're playing Chandelure, huh? It looks like a difficult character to play, really. I suppose I got lucky with Lucario being my favorite Pokemon in the roster, feels like the Ryu of the game and while not easy to pick up, makes a lot of sense to me while playing. I feel so bad for you right now. ;-; 

 

Honestly, the Green League CPU players are so incompetent it's mindboggling. I mean, I guess they ease in newcomers in a way, but they also make you develop really bad habits. Like, the stuff that works on them is already less successful on the Blue League CPU from what I can tell, and playing online with your only other experience being the Green League is just painful. Though, I surprisingly didn't get totally destroyed by Shadow Mewto, I got it down to like 400 HP before I was finished off, because trust me I'm as much of a fighting game noob as you are. 

 

For your own good, if you haven't done it already, go over the tutorials, they teach you a lot of mechanics and interactions in the game and it's a whole lot more understandable after that. It teaches you the attack triangle and how to dash cancel counterattacks, so it's definitely worth it. If you have gone over it and it hasn't done much, apologies for this paragraph! 

I only got this game last night and it's very fun. Maybe we should play online sometime after adding each other as friends! I've yet to fight a Chandelure and I think it'll be a tricky matchup for a while, so I'd love to see how the fight goes!

I have gone through the tutorials, it's just that proper techniques never occur to me while I'm actually playing.  I'm hopeless. D:

 

I think I'd like to take you up on the offer to fight, but first I'd like to try to get a better handle on Chandelure...and/or switch Pokemon.  I'll let you know!
