Since SRK was kind enough to start a forum for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, i figured it might be a good idea to start our very own combo video thread. Please post whatever vids you find interesting along with a transcript link if there is one, and let’s all share notes/thoughts/ideas.
It might be cool not to include more than 1-2 vids per post, just to keep things simple and not make anyone’s computer 'splode.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale: Big Daddy Combo Video by Mienaikage / single-character combovid / mostly practical combos

Good overview of Big Daddy’s combo capabilities, from a few common starters. I like this video a lot actually, maybe because he has some really satisfying enders.
Fat Princess is one of the most interesting combo characters in the game, in my opinion. This is just the tip of the iceberg with her, but it’s a good start. That last combo into lvl1 super is pretty buff!

Interesting ways of trying to catch people with her lvl 1 but I feel it’s a bit gimmicky. I can’t wait to see how other people try to connect her level 1
Raiden is turning into something of a week-one powerhouse! There’s some really good stuff in this video, including some stylish variations on practical combos.
Only posting this here so Maj can see it and explain what the hell is going on (and why IPS only triggers sometimes and not always).

Don’t worry, that’s not a bug with the Infinite Avoidance system. It’s actually just a minor bug with the AP meters at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes when a fake combo is blockable by 1 frame, the bar/number will count it as a combo anyway. Infinite avoidance won’t occur in those cases because obviously it’s not a real combo, and it won’t register on the Practice Mode attack data either.
If he hadn’t turned off Attack Data or if Kratos had been set to Auto Block, you could see that it wasn’t actually comboing. Unfortunately we found out about this bug very late, and it slipped through before we could fix it, but those AP bars were never meant to be true combo trackers. I still wish that bug could’ve been fixed, but there’s all kinds of crazy ways to keep those AP bar chains active indefinitely, so you can’t put absolute faith in them.
I’m not aware of any problems whatsoever with the Infinite Avoidance system or the Attack Data display in Practice Mode, so please rely on those instead of the AP bar counter. (Or just test combos the old-fashioned way, by blocking.)
We really need to adopt an universal button system for this game…We can either adopt the one from the raiden video or we can adopt the one from the dante video…It would make my life so much easier
I’m not sure if this is known yet; I did a search and nothing came up. The link is a Raiden infinite combo, or rather a semi-infinite being as it’s still subject to the combo AP limit. The command is simply Triangle–>Square, wait a moment, repeat. It’s difficult to perform due to the Triangle–>Square–>Triangle extension, which makes it impossible for buffering to help you with its execution. I think it’s largely impractical, though theoretically, assuming you could isolate a player, you could do several reps of this to build lots of meter before linking into a level 1. Please excuse the ghetto video quality, I don’t have legit capture equipment currently.
Here’s my next combo video, starring Dante. His cancels may seem confusing at first but once you get used to them, his combos are much easier to perform compared to other characters.
