One multiplayer option in Pokken Tournament is LAN battle mode. With this functionality, local multiplayer with 60 frames per second is possible.

Below are the different requirements for three different routes that can be taken with LAN battles:

And some extra notes for Route C:

– Routes A and B just need you to set the Internet options on the Wii U to Wired and Wireless respectively
– For Route C, there are some extra steps
– First: set both Wii Us up to connect via Wired Connection
– When the test fails, cancel out but save the connection
– Go into the settings for the connection and change the IP to 192.168.000.001 (or 192.168.000.002 on the second Wii U), Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.000 and Default Gateway to 192.168.000.050
– For the DNS settings, set it as “Do not automatically obtain”
– Set Primary DNS to 1.0.0.0
– Save the settings

Note that to activate LAN battle, you have to hold down L, R & down on the d-pad on the title screen.
