Pokken Tournament players have found a two-move combination with Shadow Mewtwo that can provide an unfair advantage. By using the character’s backward-Y ranged attack and the transformative power of its Miracle Eye move, an endless attack combo can be performed. This is something that opposing players can’t stop blocking.

Kotaku goes in-depth with its news story today about why this is a pretty big issue:

It’s an easy combo to pull off, just back and Y button for the attack, then back and A for Miracle Eye. Get the timing right, and once your opponent starts blocking it’s all over. When a player blocks they experience a brief moment of block stun, during which they’re locked in block position. Shadow Mewtwo’s moves fire faster than the block stun cooldown. There’s a block break mechanic in Pokken Tournament, but this combo never triggers it. It’s pretty nasty.

Shadow Mewtwo does suffer damage from using Miracle Eye over and over again, but it’s never enough to knock it out, leaving it with one hit point. The combo can’t kill a blocking player, so in time they also drop down to one hit point. Since different Pokemon have different hit point amounts, Pokken Tournament gives the player with the highest percentage of hit points left at the end of the round a win. Shadow Mewtwo has the lowest hit points in the game, so its one hit point is better than everyone else’s.

Shofu also takes a closer look at this issue in a new video:

This might be something that Bandai Namco may want to look into! Maybe it’ll be patched with an update?
