Pokken is kinda big for me atm, and this seems the place to share some fun tips regarding it. Instead of covering basics like attack triangles, I am going to just start off by sharing some of what I found day 1 with Machamp and Garchomp. I tried some other characters, but these two seem to stick to me. Here are some basic combos.
Machamp:
Tip- Machamp is always Bulked up when he is in Burst Mode.
Champ Bread and Butter 1
Base combo (or BnB for short) that Machamp can get tons of damage with. Don't try these if you landed quite a few hits on the opponent in the current duel phase.
Down X-X, Forward Jump, midair Y, X-X
9 Hits and 232 Damage, Instantly Phase Shifts
Other Variants:
Back X-X, Down X-X, Jump Forward, Midair Y, X-X
11 Hits and 160 Damage, Instantly Phase Shifts
Midair X, Down X-X, Jump Forward, Mid Air Y, X-X
10 Hits and 184 Damage
Up A, Down X-X, Jump Forward, Midair Y, X-X
11 Hits and 214 Damage, 247 Damage if Enhanced
Combos with Close Combat
Go for these if you have landed quite a few hits on your opponent. Attempting Machamp's BnB can end the phase shift mid combo and you can get more damage off of these combos instead.
Down X-X, Down A
11 hits and 202 Damage, 227 Damage if Bulked Up.
Back X-X, Down X-X, Down A
13 Hits and 154 Damage, 159 Damage Bulked Up.
Charge Forward X, Down A
10 Hits and 208 Damage, 238 if Bulked Up
Midair X, Up Y-Y
11 Hits and 174 Damage, or 194 Damage if Bulked Up.
Combos with Dynamic Fury
Dynamic Fury is Machamp's Synergy Burst Attack. When landed normally it does 252 Damage and no matter how you combo it, for some reason it is always 1000 Hits even. Here are some Combos that will actually increase it's damage, anything else you try most likely decreases the Damage...

259 Damage
Up A, L+R
