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?

SEGA has gone live with a new timelines trailer for 7th Dragon III Code: VFD. In the game, the protagonist and his/her team will need to use utilize time travel technology in order to rid the earth of the diabolical dragon menace.

Here’s the new trailer:

These are the different timelines and areas players will venture through, straight from SEGA:

– Present-day Tokyo – The year 2100 in Tokyo is your first stop in the game. The city is an urban jungle filled with hazardous areas like the subway line and landmark giant tower. However, if you need to take a breather from hunting dragons, Nodens Enterprises HQ is located here.

– Ancient Atlantis – So naturally, you’ll depart Tokyo and step back in time to the mythical ocean kingdom of Atlantis. Be warned, the capital city of Atlantica, royal palace, and Cladeon lower wards are rife with danger. Oh, but the blacksmiths of Atlantis are renowned for forging great weapons, so definitely worth a visit.

– Futuristic Eden – The futuristic collection of states known as Eden will be the last time and place you’ll explore. You can visit the Kazan Republic, the ruins of Preloma, or brave the mysteries of the sealed tower. However, it would be wise to remain vigilant as dragons and enemies haunt your every step. The future is definitely bleak, so don’t be surprised if some people from that time period are sympathetic to your cause.
