In Pokkén Tournament, players jockey to win its 3D roaming Field Phase not for the damage-related purposes (unless you’re a zoning character!) but because the winner of Field Phase gets a massive synergy boost. Synergy is Pokkén’s super meter equivalent and, as Pokkén Pro Double demonstrates in his recent experiments below, some characters can wildly exploit this synergy boost in Field Phase to get full meter, or close to it, from one grab break.

These combos all take advantage of the Homing Cancel tech covered several months back. Whether or not this tech was a glitch originally, it’s clearly intended to stay, as it’s still in the latest build of the Japanese version. Maximizing your synergy gain post grab tech should, as the meta advances, become an integral part of tournament play.
