We know that Blastoise is headed to Pokkén Tournament DX as part of the two-part Battle Pack - the first of which brought Aegislash as a new playable character with Mega Rayquaza and Mimikyu back in January - and now we've got the first proper footage showing the giant Pokemon's move list.
Supported by mythical Pokémon Mew and Celebi, Blastoise has a mid-range grab, a withdraw stance for creating distance from fast-moving opponents and plenty of offensive warfare from its shell-mounted cannons. And with a meaty 660HP health bar to its name, it's a proper beast as well.
Revealed as part of the Spring Fist broadcast on Twitch, you can check out the Japanese broadcast below. Let us know what you make of the footage and whether or not you'll be maining Blastoise when it arrives on 23rd March...

Looks ugly =/
Like unfinished model
Yeah, he looks fan made.
Agreed, something looks very off here. Not just the 3D model, but also the animation. It's not the worst, but it's certainly not great.
His model looks super weird
I'm not a huge Pokemon guy but even I know that's a terrible looking Blastoise. He looked better in Pokemon Stadium
Looks like they sorta gave Blastoise the Smash 4 Bowser treatment since he’s such a big n heavy pokemon. Can’t say I like or dislike his model but his moves look pretty cool.
Couldn't care less. Keeps playing Wii U version of Pokken
Looks okay for me.
But i rarely play Pokken since i got the machine on 24 Dec 2017.
ARMS is still my favorite.
Was fun to watch, and Blastoise was one of my favs growing up so that's cool. I don't have the patience to learn different combos in fighting games but that video makes me want to play Pokken. Back to Breath of the Wild for me
The model looks really bad, even the picture on the character select screen looks rushed...
Find someone in your life who will cheer for you the way those announcers cheered for blastoise
He looks like dumb fun, something like TMNT in injustice 2 or Rash in KI, will be trying him out for sure.
They gave my guy long ass limbs lol
Poor developers..
@peeks it's even worse when you consider it's $15 for the season pass which only has 2 characters. And people were saying smash bros had over priced dlc kek
@Oat oh don’t say this about Nintendo .. they are not greedy at all and they just ask money for what they deserve specially that we paid for the game on Wii U and again for full price on Nintendo switch
I really hate his sliding animation when he dashes forwards or backwards. And his dodges seem so dramatic for how listtle they actually move him
Best starter is in.
I will now buy your game.
Would have enjoyed Blastoise if it wasn't so flippin' expensive. No way am I shelling out the price of this DLC for how incredibly little it actually offers, especially not worth it since I barely play this game to begin with. Also yes he does look a little weird in game, but I think it's fine personally.
This character model is a joke. Was it so hard to animate Blastoise's stubby physique that you had to double the length of his limbs?
This is how he looks in the 3DS outings:
Note his anatomy. It seems Bamco also confused Blastoise's shell structure with his mega evolution's. Too many complaints to be had with this.
Those joints on his model gagged me a bit
@Oat Would you go for that or the $30-$35 season pass most fighting games come with now?
His arms are definitely a bit long, but I am still excited to mess around with him regardless, if anything he'll be a good joke character where me and my friends make fun of his model the whole time.
Also, what's up with the extra space? I'm sensing a 3rd DLC soon... Perhaps Zeraora (An unreleased mythical pokemon for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon), it could make sense since it hasn't been officially revealed yet.
This looks horribly ugly... really hope they decide to work on this more. The base game is high quality and releasing something like this will stick out in a bad way.
Seeing him from behind is terrifyingly bad. It's like when you see one of those creepypasta long-legged monsters. It needs to be improved.
@Malcrash I mainly pointed out the price due to occasionally hearing people complain about the price of smash bros dlc fighters (which were more than reasonably priced in my opinion). I do feel like charging $7.49 for blastoise is a bit much even when compared to $30-$35 fighting game season passes because you usually get a lot more characters and the character prices usually average to about $5 not $7
@Royalblues I completely agree. I feel like Nintendo is pulling a fast one on Pokken Tournament DX
@GoblinGizmo In that case, Pokken is more your style of fighting game, as there are very few true combos used in the gameplay.
