Not tryna be a nazi, but thats actually hades their attacking not ares. Just for the record.
Ah of course, nah I don’t expect anything like that. Hopefully someone from this site gets some hands on time with it so we can get their impressions.
Personally I think if the gameplay is good and solid it will help spread the luv of Sony games. For example I really didn’t know about Fat Princess til this game. I am sure it will help renew luv of various franchises. Sony needs Mascots. Sega’s got Sonic, Nintendo got Mario, and right now Sony has Kratos. But Sony mascots change quite often lol. So it’s good to see them have something where familiar and older game characters beat each other up. And killing each other with Supers to me is interesting. I mean Smash Bros is all about the ring out and smashing. And in Fighting games most people luv seeing supers. So why not have Supers be a finishing move. It would similar to X-Ray moves in MK or Death Moves in the Guilty Gear series just not as gory lol.
I don’t care what any of you say, I think this game looks fucking awesome.
I can already tell that I’m going to main the shit out of Big Daddy. Personally, I don’t see why they added him in there since he isn’t really a Playstation exclusive, but I’m glad they did. I guess if Nintendo can add in Sonic and Snake to their game, why not? Regardless, this game looks like it’s shaping up to be something really cool. I love crossovers like this. I would pay the full retail price for this game given just the current roster that they have right now. I think this game also has the opportunity to do something that a lot of fighters these days don’t have: obnoxious mugen-esque variety in terms of characters.
Think about it, how many exclusives does Sony REALLY have?
MGS 4
Shadow of The Collusus
Killzone
Resistance
Little Big Planet
Uncharted
inFamous
3D Game Dot Heroes
Twisted Metal
God of War
Patapon
Starhawk
Devil May Cry (Kinda)
Rayman (Kinda)
Jak and Daxter
Crash Bandicoot
Final Fantasy
Ratchet and Clank
Payday
Demon’s Souls
Motorstorm
SOCOM
And that’s probably not even half. Sony has such a rich amount of diverse and amazing games, just think about how many characters, stages and all kinds of crap could fit into this game. Just think about it, how cool would it be to have a FG game with 75+ characters, most of them from your childhood, and at the same time they are all balanced for the most part? I know a lot of people will try to argue that it would be impossible to balance that amount of characters, but it’s just cool to think of it happening. I really hope they add a lot more characters to this game and I hope that it succeeds in general. I want to have the same kind of crazy fun that I did back with the Smash Bros franchise when it was alive and well.
Fuck Drake, I want a playable Nolan North!
Tron Bonne or buuuuuust
Eh, frankly I’m just waiting for somebody in the Smash community to say “hey wait a minute, why am I making mods for Brawl when I could just be making my own god damn game and making sure all this bull shit nobody likes is out of the game from the start.”
C’mon people, if Mike Z can do it so can you!
I really wish I was half decent with programming.

Game looks mad fun.
A Shadow of the Colossus level seems obvious. Platforming up the side of a colossus?
Yea the game looked good in that vid with mike and gootecks, I like hearing that there are ways to deplete your opponents meter, I was worried you were just gonna sit back and watch your opponent accumulate as much meter as they pleased without any way to stop em. Good to know throws(as well as items) sap meter from your opponent. I wonder if items are gonna be allowed in tourneys for this game, it depends Im sure, but I hope they are balanced enough to allow people to run em. I also wonder if you can stack meter and go for like 3 lvl 1’s instead of a lvl 3, but I get the feeling thats not possible since supers are tied to a button as opposed to different inputs. I also wonder if you can combo into your lvl 1, knowing the FGC they’ll prolly figure out ways to do it even if its not designed into the game.
Finally, glad to hear they might be at evo, would love to get written impressions from members of the FGC, since we look at these games in a different light than the average person/
Honestly, if the Smash Bros Illuminati stays the fuck away from this game we probably won’t get these issues or at the very least inconsistent rulesets if this becomes a tourney game.
As long as items are banned I’m sure the game will be at least as tourney worthy as brawl. It looks fairly decent so far but I guess we’ll need some reliable players to give us more detailed accounts.
From what I can gather, Items spawn at set locations. And without them doing tons of damage, or any damage for that matter, I don’t see why they would be the problem they were in smash. You can’t even throw them like weapons.
I doubt there will be weapon bans in this game as some of the known weapons thus far have great strategic properties like the Spear of Destiny draining your opponent’s meter.
A brawl is a horrible example
But they randomly generate and can offset the balance of the game. For the game to have legs as a tournament fighter the gimmicky variables need to be removed so that the players abilities with the character can pull through.
im definitely getting it for the VIta
I hope this game has a story mode.
I want Kratos to have a conversation with Daxter.
Weapons spawn at per-determine points and don’t do any harm to the player as they spawn. The spawning itself affects nothing.
You know, I was just thinking… If this game indeed fixes everything that tournament players hated about Smash Brothers (randomness, tripping, stalling, items and stages being too unbalanced for competitive play, etc), I wonder what will happen to the competitive Smash community. Will most of their players “migrate” to PSABR ?
Probably not. Fans of Smash like Smash in part because of the Nintendo characters. Seeing how some Nintendo fanboys believe that Sony doesn’t have enough iconic characters for a game like this to work, I highly doubt it.
From that video: You can roll to dodge ala Smash. I see what looks like a directionless air-dodge (like brawl, not melee). Supers are unblockable but dodgeable. You can combo into supers (Omar says it himself). Throws drain meter. Sweet Tooth’s instant air shotty looks dirty. Other meta stuff: Stock mode confirmed, duh. Items are toggle-able.
With that said, I can definitely see some tourney smash players migrating, especially if there are big money tourneys in this(or if mlg or something picks it up). From a casual point of view, for sure this isn’t stealing any of smash’s fans, they play smash to see mario beat up on link, but from a tourney point of view I can definitely see it stealing some of the fans.
Ill prolly pick it up for the vita, its easier for me to buy a vita than a ps3 at the moment and since ill be playing it on a regular controller as opposed to a stick there won’t be that disconnect between when I play it on console and when I play it on vita. Looking forward to hearing all the announcements they have as time goes by.
