As with all fighting games, it was only a matter of time before something super broken was discovered in Pokkén Tournament. Today, we have a look at a blockstring infinite Shadow Mewtwo has at its disposal in the Pokémon brawler.

As shown in the video below, Shadow Mewtwo is capable of stringing together both the regular and Miracle Eye enhanced versions of his ranged attack. This results in a successive series of attacks that’s impossible to escape once you’ve blocked, allowing the legendary Pokémon to whittle an opponent down over time.

While the repeated uses of Miracle Eye will also drain Shadow Mewtwo’s health, his relatively low hit points makes it so that he’ll be granted a win due to Pokkén’s percentage-based timeout rules if both opponents are at 1 health when the countdown expires. Taking the hit appears to be the optimal play here, but the fact that neither move shifts the battle to the Duel Phase means Shadow Mewtwo can repeat the setup as much as they want on unsuspecting opponents.

The prevalence of patching these days, even on Nintendo systems, means it’s likely we won’t see this last long. For now, beware Shadow Mewtwos online if you hope to preserve that precious win rate.
