Dude gotta have Jehuty!
Machinima interviews lead combat designer Paul Edwards:

I’ve been hearing rumors that an Ico character and a Assassin’s creed character were being discussed for being in the game. It would make sense because obviously the Ubisoft guys aren’t afraid of cameos.
I would welcome a AC character in, he should have all kinds of awesome moves to choose from. The ICO character should have their own unique ability imo because that game was alot about puzzles and thinking.
Now that I think about it why not have Dante in this game? He’s popular, has an army of moves and I don’t think he’s ever been off playstation.
I would be amazed if any Team Ico character makes it into the game. They strike me as the type of devs that wouldn’t want their characters to be in this kind of game.
A couple of things I’m wondering:
[LIST=1]
[]is there any hit stun increase (like smash) or deterioration (like marvel)?
[]can you tech throws?
[]is there directional influence/air control when in hitstun?
[]can you cancel moves into other moves?
[]can you combo into kill moves?
[]are kill moves blockable?
[/LIST]
Also Sly is going to be a sitting duck unless he has some kind of dodge maneuver. I feel like Sly blocking should only be disabled when Camo is activated.
Sly will be fine because this game is about meter and he can steal meter from his contemporaries and use it himself. Anybody that can stop his opponents from using a level 3 which can rack up points/kills is a factor.
Plus in 4 player games being invisible could make it much easier to get those meter steals multiple times.
I probably shouldn’t talk about the viability of the characters so early on. But anyway, if this game gets a competitive scene and 1v1 ends up being the tournament standard, it sounds like Sly will have a really hard time without a block. He, apparently, doesn’t go completely invisible, so while you can catch them off guard in 2v2/1v1v1v1, that shouldn’t give the opponent any trouble keeping their eyes on him in 1v1. Who knows though, he might be good enough in another field to make up for this.
But again. The game isn’t finished, and I don’t know much about it, let alone how the competive scene will be built, so there’s no telling how it’ll end up.
EDIT: He does seem to have some sort of teleport, if I’m understanding correctly, making him seem pretty mobile.
OK judging by this video it looks like you can combo into a kill move. Now my question is: are there any characters who can build a lvl of meter in 1 combo and finish it with a kill move?
Autobuy for Lightning, Crash, and Spyro
I’m concerned about 1v1 balance, 4v4 is just a clusterfuck so not really concerned about balance in that mode. Sly v Radec is going to be the worst matchup, constantly getting busted in the face with fullscreen projectiles lol!
You underestimate Sly too much. If you watch the vids you’d know how mobile Sly, he’s pretty hard to keep out and that’s how they designed him.
I know it’s a long shot but if SFxT can have 2v2 then ths should be able to have 2v2 or at least 1v1v1v1 for fun.
- not sure just yet. but the way its designed,I’m gonna doubt it.
2.I’m gonna guess yes, since Smash has pratfalling and the like.
3.very likely. - not sure. they did say one of Kratos’ weaknesses is if he whiffs an attack he’s left completely exposed, so mayb,maybe not.
- there is a vid showing Sweet Tooth doing a Dthrow on Sly to make him OTG and hitting him with his Lv.2 Rocket super. another vid showed Kratos using the Cestus on a midair opponent in the corner causing them to wallbounce and then killing them with his Lv.2 AA super. soI’m gonna say, hell yes.
6.this I want to know too. obviously they can be dodged by jumping and rolling,but can they be blocked? I do know for sure that Parappa’s Lv.3 is the only one that is truly Unblockable.
as for Sly,he has the ability to teleport, the only character(so far) who can super-jump, and has a barrel move that makes him immune to all Projectiles, so he should be fine.
hmmm Sly is either going to be really broken or completely useless lol!
Parrapa top tier with the skate and Sweet Tooth useless
Sly gimmicky
I’m calling it
I played smash only on 64 but I’m looking foward this game
Sweet Tooth looks solid, his shotty looks godlike and those mines look sleazy lol!
Plus Sweet Tooth is channeling everyone’s favorite Final Smash, Landmaster, in his level 3.
They need to put motherfuckin JEHUTY in the game. All of my money
#fuckbalance
Someone should make a thread for character wishlist…
Isn’t that what this thread is at this point?
Touché…
