In a leak from this month’s issue of CoroCoro, we found out about three new characters in Pokken Tournament. We now know that Braixen, Garchomp, and standard Mewtwo are joining the roster. That’s not all though. The game’s website just updated, revealing Chandelure as another addition.

It’ll be a little while before we get a proper look at Chandelure. A trailer for the character will debut at Tokaigi 2016 on January 31.

Sceptile was revealed for Pokken Tournament following a tease on the game’s Twitter account. Something similar is now taking place once again.

Next week, Bandai Namco will be pulling back the curtain of another fighter on the way to Pokken Tournament. The announcement – which will likely come with a trailer – will be made on January 15. Only one clue has been shared: the Japanese name of the Pokemon has a letter ? (ra) in it. We’ll be hearing about another support Pokemon as well.

50 staff members attempted to predict the Pokemon and their reactions were polled after knowing the result. Here are the results of that:

– My prediction is correct! I’m really happy! – 1
– My prediction missed, but I’m still glad – 13
– My prediction missed, I’m salty – 31
– I’m actually perplexed, so I can’t answer – 5

The Wii U version of Pokken Tournament will have local multiplayer, according to a notice on the HORI controller website. One player uses the GamePad as their controller perspective on the GamePad, and it seems the other uses the TV screen as their perspective. Two of the HORI controllers can’t be used in local multiplayer.
