"PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale": Sony's version of Super Smash Bros.

[Jinkwai]

Thinking about starting a podcast and strategy forum for this game. If anybody is interested in helping, let me know.

 

[I_DON'T_KNOW_YOU!]

whoa where did they reveal this

Japanese release announcement.

 

[JarrardKO]

Quick Question:

Will this game have competitive mechanics that will create a skill gap? Think of l-canceling/wavedashing etc. in melee.

btw, if I'm being honest - I really couldn't care if it's a ssb rip off with a few changes. I've waited for far too long for a competitive brawler, that's all I want.

THAT'S ALL I WANT SONY YOU HEAR ME?

 

[~automatic]

They're trying to make PSASBR like a traditional fighter with the freedom of movement a platformer. I'm guessing cancels will work like they do in Street Fighter or other traditional fighters. Iirc Heihachi does have a wavedash of sorts but it's more akin to Tekken's WD and not Melee's.

Evil Cole trailer.
Pretty sweet lookin.

 

[theeboredone]

Definitely looks more bamf than his good counter part.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

I though they said only one character per series.

 

[Zankoku]

Did the beta stop working?

 

[Jinkwai]

Did the beta stop working?

Pretty much. I'm assuming they will put it back up when the beta goes public with an update.

Evil Cole seems fine to me. Judging by just the basic principle of his attacks, he seems to be the better Cole.

Raiden gameplay

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/...killian-and-omar-kendall-shows-level-3-super/

Also shows some changes to hud. It even numerically displays how much meter each attack gives you which is kind of neat.

 

[theeboredone]

If Snake is in the game, Raiden's LV 3 should've been Snake's. Cardboard boxes are more of a Snake thing.

Overall, I wish Raiden was a bit faster (ninja, duh), but he still looks like a primary pick to be my main.

Drake, Raiden, and Spike. Maybe Dante if he has an alt costume/Vergil.

Please don't talk about this, I don't want this forum turning into a **** fest like over at the PSN forums.

From playing the private beta, the whole game feels a little sluggish. I definitely think it could use a little speed boost overall.

EDIT: Nariko & Sir Daniel

[I_DON'T_KNOW_YOU!]

If Snake is in the game,

But he's not.

 

[theeboredone]

I don't know whether you have read this or have this 100% confirmed. What I can tell you is that David Hayter has done VA for this game. It could be an assist trophy, a hidden character, or DLC. Don't make such assumptions.

Edit: Also, Gamespot has private footage of Sir Daniel and Nariko. So those two are definitely confirmed.

Are you referring to this?

Eric Ladin was typing out of his ***.

 

[theeboredone]

And how do you know Ladin was "typing out of his ***"? Do you have some proof that backs that up? Your statements wouldn't be much of a problem if you weren't declaring them such a guarantee.

 

[Bionichute]

Sir Daniel Fortesque trailer.
Nariko trailer.

Sir Dan is my main.

Dan looks scary as **** in this game. I wonder if his Level 1 can pull people in or if it is a counter super...

 

[Bionichute]

If you pre-order the game at Gamestop/EB Games you get a free Playstation Allstars themed deck of cards!

This also confirms that the game has at least 26 characters.

54 - 2 (because Jokers may or may not be there) = a regular 52-card deck.

52 / 2 = 26

It'd be one character per number and color (so Good Cole would be the Red Aces, Bad Cole would be the Black Aces). One card would be the character, the other would be the pre-order costume (or an alternate costume in general).

26 CHARACTERS CONFIRMED

 

[lordvaati]

Good news for fans of a certain character.....

 

[Bionichute]

Thanks lordvaati, now I won't get charged for double posting!

This is either a really amazing photoshop, or a leaked image of the LocoRoco stage and Kat. Note the Colossus in the background.

EDIT: ALSO SORA

 

[Z'zgashi]

Yep: http://community.us.playstation.com...tars-Battle/Sora-in-the-kat-leak/m-p/38205727

 

[VictoryIsMudkipz]

I swear if they get Sora, Imma have a hissy fit

 

[I_DON'T_KNOW_YOU!]

EDIT: ALSO SORA

Since when was Colonel Radec Sora?

 

[Bionichute]

Since when was Colonel Radec Sora?

People see things that aren't really there. And yes that is Radec.

 

[Staz]

if sora's in. imma go fan girl

 

[Jinkwai]

I'm putting together a podcast about All-Stars. If anyone is interested in helping, send me a message.

 

[SmashChu]

Only problem with the image is it's so blurry you can tell what's what.

I think we'll only have 20 characters, but time will tell if I'm wrong.

 

[Giygacoal]

Paul Gale confirmed that the roster has 22+ characters, and that SuperBot sees DLC as a possibility for post-launch.

 

[~automatic]

Imma laugh when Superbot makes a Sora skin for Radec.

 

[Bionichute]

Paul Gale confirmed that the roster has 22+ characters, and that SuperBot sees DLC as a possibility for post-launch.

Paul Gale is the most trustworthy leaker, mainly because he doesn't just state who the characters are.

He also changed his female character hint to "An ATTRACTIVE female". Does, that make this more vague or less vague?

EDIT: Amazon reveals unlockable characters and stages.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Bumping this.

Kat "leak" proven fake (It has a colossus in the background but the trailer shows that Loco Roco is crossing over with metal gear rising)
Giant Toro = epic
New theme song
voice acting (Note: Nefarious is over Daxter's lines for some reason)

new stuff:
Loco Roco mixed with Metal Gear
San Fransisco crosses with Starhawk
Paris (Sly Cooper) crosses with Little Big Planet
Updated graphics
The gameplay looks a lot faster now.
New theme song sings about Squirtle
No Sora (It was Radec)
Paul Gale basically confirmed Wander in his newest hints
Next All-Stars update is at Eurogamer this Thursday

 

[Bionichute]

So, Paul Gale apparently hinted at the game having 25 characters in it.
Here's my wish list: Crash, Wander, Kat, Chimera, and Cloud.

That is most likely the last group to be added to the roster actually.

I however, will never be pleased until Kevin Butler is either a playable character or Boss, lol.

Only Reggie can beat Kevin Butler.

Character Reveal music

 

[SteliKingOfSpeed]

Sony had to have a recognizable roster to many to make it successful on the scale of Smash Bros. but a 20 character roster with some "meh" choices. Crash and Spyro could of worked as they were recognizable on a Nintendo console. More recognizable and iconic third party characters such as Cloud, Lara, Snake and Rayman that made more sense could of happened, but no. This will be a underrated sub-par fighter and I'm sure if a sequel ever occurs, Superbot will be split up or rehashed with a "try harder next time" label. I'm saddened but I will be content discovering characters like Toro and Nariko.

 

[lordvaati]
