I’ve a feeling that we might see Capcom characters.

- Smash bros gameplay confirmed

Smash isn’t a fighter, silly goose.

trolling aside, looks interesting

It doesn’t really play anything like Smash though. There’s no build up to higher percentages into being knocked off. It looks like it’s a different thing to look into. Kinda hyped for it actually.

This game looks entertaining. Hopefully, the “MLG pro” guys they have working on it don’t ruin what looks to be a good thing and turn it straight homo.

Game needs the following characters-

It has the same kinds of controls so it plays at its core like Smash. Doesn’t matter if it has a life bar or not.

No I see the similarities but the objective is different. You don’t get hit higher at higher percentages. You just die when you’re out of health. Kinda like that lame “stamina” special mode.

That functioned like a traditional fighting game. This Playstation thing seems to be trying to mesh the two styles more fluidly.

Selvaria Bles for third party >__>

Lol, this looks fun. I’ll definitely give it a shot. I know Crash is obscure as hell now, but it would be killer to bring him back for this. Having him and Drake and Jak fighting it out… jeez it would be glorious.

[Vorkosigan]

Considering how much attention Naughty Dog has give Jak and Daxter the last few years… I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t make it

[Hawkingbird]

Does anyone else want to see Kevin Butler in this game?

[hybreezy]

I think because he’s a nobody at this point outside of nostalgia he should be really easy to bring back so there’s no excuse. Same with Spyro really, but I guess it depends if they feel they’re worth it. If Sony has the choice of them or more popular characters they might be out of luck.

[SPOILER=]He’s the game’s secret boss, who can only be fought by fulfilling the same conditions needed to fight Gouki in ST[/SPOILER]

[Poltergust]

Smash fans like Smash because of the Nintendo characters, not because of the game system

They won’t switch over to this

Who’s to say that they don’t also like Sony characters, though?

I’m buying this not only because of the system, but because Sly and Parappa are in it.

The only way to kill characters are with supers.

I want to see these characters in it:

And last but not least:

The director of the game is a friend of mine, who is also on virtuafighter.com as a lurker (he’s registered though). He was also the combat designer for the first 2 UFC games for THQ.

Destructiod has an article about the game-

Hands-on preview: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

• The team consists of members with extensive backgrounds in fighting and combat titles

• Either the left analog stick or the d-pad controls movement of your character.

• The right stick will let you perform throws, with different ones assigned to each direction.

• The X button jumps, and the other three face buttons are assigned to different attacks.

• L1 blocks and R1 picks up items.

• R2, executes a super move. While fighting, you’ll build up a meter that lets you perform a super move that knocks out characters.

• Also, some attacks knock AP (action points) out of opponents, letting others pick them up to fill up these meters. There are three levels of supers, each one stronger than the last, and each requiring another filling of this meter. If you can manage to land hits and survive long enough, a level three super can knock out all other players, earning you points.

- Victory goes to the player with the highest number of KOs; knocking out a character adds to your score while being knocked out subtracts from it.

• So, there’s nothing in the way of health bars here, as health doesn’t really matter in the long run.

• Most of the matches I played were frantic free-for-alls that had us hitting each other in any way possible in an effort to get those meters filled up.

• get excited about the control, because it’s outstanding. SuperBot really nailed it. It’s fast, super-responsive, and never gets in the way of the crazy action. The in-air stuff is not floaty at all; jumps do what you need them to, when you need them to. I never had a problem blocking, platforming or recovering.

Neat. It really seems like they got the right team for this. What I really like is the game seems to have a slightly higher emphasis on competitive play compared to Smash.

This is one of the few games I’d kill to work on.
