More news is coming this January 23rd. It's via NicoNico's online feature "Weekly Famitsu Featuring" so I think those of us in the west might have to wait for information told in it to be translated over.
New information on Pokken Tournament has surfaced:
New Japanese Website
New Logo
Lucario's Render
Machamp's Render
New information on the game will be announced January 23rd.
Not much on the site, the new logo is okay but essentially the same, and those renders look BEAUTIFUL! Lucario's sort of reminds me of SSB Brawl's model which detailed its blue fur (still don't know what the black parts are. Short hair? Skin? Scales?). Machamp is much smoother on the other hand, but I do like the nice metalic look they gave to its power belt.
The team who's working on Pokken's models need to work on the models for Gen VII as well...
Yeah, for a game with a handful a character such as a fighting game high end graphics like this are perfectly possible if not expected. BUT Pokemon has over 800 characters so while I wouldn't say that's possible, I would say it'd take far too much time and not be worth it in the long run (besides, that means when we do get high detailed models as such it makes them even more special).
And I guess I should write down my wishlist. I'll try to shorten the list by not include any Fighting-type Pokemon since I feel its pretty obvious most if not all of them should be in the game:
Charizard (Cause its Charizard)
Raichu (Because no way Pikachu will be able to compete, so lets give its evolution some spotlight)
Nidoqueen/Nidoking (They're pretty beastly and I can see them being mighty glaciers)
Kangaskhan (MASTER BASTER!)
Ditto (Not as a fighter, I just want it to act as the "random" button :P)
Snorlax (How many times have we seen one of these in a sumo wrestling contest?)
Mewtwo (Sort of cheating since I'd want its Mega Evolution to be its X form)
Feraligatr (Once again, looks pretty beastly)
Azumarill/Mawile/Diggersby (HUGE POWER!)
Ursaring/Beartic/Pangoro (I do believe Tekken has a certain tradition involving "bear" fighters)
Swampert (Just look at its Mega Evolution!)
Slaking (Would like to see how they would do this powerhouse considering its Ability)
Staraptor (It can learn Close Combat, afterall)
Roserade (It's pretty much Tuxedo Mask... wait, did he ever fight?)
Rampardos (Attacking is all it has, don't take that away from it)
Ambipom (Because you have to have a monkey fighter that slaps you silly)
Lopunny (We need more feminine Pokemon, and once again cheating a bit since its Mega Evolution is part Fighting)
Electivire (Once again, looks beastly)
Dusknoir (Looks like it can brawl with the best of them)
Regigigas (Like Slaking, I'd like to see how they would implement such a powerhouse with a limiting Ability)
Samurott (It's a Samurai)
Darmanitan (Sort of like Ambipom, except instead of slapping you silly its punching right through you with a slasher smile)
Golurk (Gotta have a mecha!)
Bisharp (It's supposedly based on tokusatsu villains)
Braviary (Because AMERICA (F*** YEAH)!)
Greninja (Cause ninja)
Aegislash (It's a living sword (well, possessed sword), what else is it going to do?)
Barbaracle (Looks like it can hold its own a do a number on its opponent, plus Tough Claws)
Diancie (Cause your game is now diamonds)
However I do think a majority of the characters should be Fighting-types.
