Thanks to the phenomenal response for Pokkèn Tournament, Nintendo has reported that Wii U sales have surged a whopping 151 percent in Japan after the game's release. iDigitalTimes' own Phillip Martinez reported that the wild success of the game is due its remarkable result of bringing both Pokémon fans and fighting game players together.
However, the rare unity of different gaming communities can be delicate, especially if there's a massive glitch that potentially tears Pokkèn Tournament apart: an extremely simple exploit effectively makes Shadow Mewtwo unbeatable. Here's how it's done:
First, you'll need a Shadow Mewtwo. The quick and easy way is to simply possess a physical copy of Pokkèn Tournament with an exclusive Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card. However, the amiibo Shadow Mewtwo cannot level up, which means a player must eventually unlock the character completely. This can only be done by becoming the champion of the Chroma League.
Got your Shadow Mewtwo? Good. Now it's time to get down to business. Via YouTuber shofu, the Shadow Mewtwo exploit is known as "Block String Infinite" and essentially allows you to unleash a never ending projectile sequence that traps your opponent in a block. The infinite sequence will chip away your opponent's health until the timer runs out.
Although your Mewtwo will take damage as well, it will not die. What's more, if both your Shadow Mewtwo and the opponent is down to 1 point of health, the Shadow Mewtwo possesses the lowest HP in the game and automatically wins since the match is decided by the percentage of health remaining.
Many of you already know about this broken Shadow Mewtwo mechanic but for the ones that are learning about this for the first time, here's a demonstration of the insanely simple Block String Infinite exploit here:
