Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Announced

That combo video actually got me a little interested.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

As a Smash player, the lack of landing lag on air attacks makes me drool.

yes that is today but the new chars are going to be revealed on Sunday at their own panel

where the fuck are they streaming this? I WANT TO WATCH NOW!

Get this stream up NOA!

so they hinted chun li will be in all stars battle royal (in exchange for S-kill to be back to Capcom!) … or ono was just trolling us again

If that’s the case, we should demand a better street fighter character.
Let’s be honest, who actually likes Chun Li?

Jak/Daxter and Cole officially added to roster

For a guy that fights with guns Jak doesn’t seem like a range character at all.

I knew it, I knew they were gonna use his Dark Jak forms. I have been waiting for both of these guys for so long that I couldn’t be happier. I like that he has a more aggressive style to counter the zoning characters like Radec and Drake but am a little shocked to see none of his crazier guns.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they are using Infamous 1 Cole’s moves because I hated when they gave him like Water and Fire powers (screw that). I got fucking hype when I saw the ionic sheild and the ionic Vortex lvl 3 where they give you a infamous style aiming perspective just like in his game.

That’s some great fan service for a infamous fan like myself who normally couldn’t care less about fan service.

OK,so i got bored and made a write-up of all the different Lv. 3 types that i posted on gamefaqs. here it is:

This game looks pretty cool, I really like all the characters, etc. Is there any possibility for different modes? Like a lifebar mode where you whittle the opponents health down with attacks, rather then just building meters for supers. Frankly, that’s the one big turnoff for me in this game, the whole gimmicky supers being the central mechanic thing. It’s like if Brawl always had Smashballs on, and you could only kill with that. I mean, Superbot has got to be smarter then that, right?

SO, more character discussion time. Today’s topic: What NIS/A character should be in this game?

NIS has been a HUGE part of the Playstation family. There work may not have as huge of a fanbase here as it does in Japan, but they should be represented somehow in this game. I have a list of characters that I would like to see, even if only one will be in.

Laharl

Spoiler

The main “hero” of the very first Disgaea game. While NIS was making games before Disgaea, Disgaea has become their biggest Franchise, and their big money maker. Having the star of the first game would be a great way to rep the company. His evil laugh, brutal fighting style, and not giving a damn about anyone, he would be an excellent choice. Plus, He would drop a meteor on the planet for his level 3, whats not to love about that?

Etna

Spoiler

Probably one of the most famous of the Original trio, Etna is no n00b in terms of Crossovers. She has appeared in more games then Laharl(much to his disappointment. I personally think she would be better then Laharl because she would use a spear, which would be very unique, and she qould use Prinnies in much of her attacks, who are the Mascot of NIS almost. Plus, I love that attitude of hers.

Asagi

Spoiler

One of the most popular characters in all of NIS, she has appeared in many different games. Unfortunately, none of them are her own. Yes, the forever joke character always looking for her game, Asagi would naturally fit into a game like this. Seeing this game as a way to get her own game one day, she vows to be the champion, to prove she is main character potential. She has many different weapons and skills at her disposal, even the most powerful spaceship in the netherworld. Asagi would be a threat, and a very funny character, to be in this game.

Pleinair

Spoiler

The Mascot of one of NIS’s main Artists Harada Takehito, she has been in every Disgaea game in some form or another. She rarely speaks, and has a huge fanbase(in and out of game). With her 2 stuffed animals Usagi and Sammy, she would be a cute and deadly addition.

Nippon Ichi-chan/NISA

Spoiler

http://images.wikia.com/hyperdimensionneptunia/images/f/f3/Nisa.jpg

While first appearing in the Compile Heart game Hyper Dimensional Neptiunia as the Moefied version of the company NIS, NISA has become a mini mascot to the compnay, even appearing as a DLC character in Disgaea 4. With her passion for JUSTICE and HEROES, NISA would NISA KICK everyone away!

What do you guys think? Do you want to see anyone here, or maybe someone else? Post it here!

I have no idea who any of those characters are but I vaguely remember the first two from a game I never played. It depends on which market they are mainly trying to sell this to. If it’s the US then they have no chance but I feel they are trying to at least get some of that Jap market so I’d say they have a shot if a small one.

By putting Toro in I think it confirms Japan is somewhat being considered when picking characters imo. I still think we won’t see many “only popular in Japan” franchises represented tho because they are trying to appeal to most of the world.

I’d be cool if they got Namco to allow some of their Anime characters in the game: Naruto, DBZ, Bleach, etc character if they wanted to appeal to both the Japanese and “main world” markets.

Well, the games do have a rather large fanbase here. Not as large as FF, but still pretty large. Besides, if they want the game to do well across the world, they would be wise to pick Japanese characters. I mean, Sony still is a japanese company.

And there is no way an anime character is getting in. WAY too many licensing issues. They wouldn’t have to deal with just Namco, but to the USA holders of the rights for both the anime and manga’s, as well as Japan and other country holders of the copyright. It’s a legal nightmare.

Also, you are missing out on some great SRPG’s. I hate all other SRPG’s other then NISA’s games. The story, characters, and humor are all quite good.

I won’t pretend to be an expert on all the license sheananigans or anime games for that matter so I’ll take your word for it. At this point I’m trying to guesstimate what 3rd party characters will get in.

Also I know it’s wrong but starting to care less about about this game being tourney worthy and more into this game being wacky and fun. I want crazy starhawk stages where buildings are falling all over the place and a warhawk stage where planes and shit is blowing up.

As far as my opinions on this game in the FGC O agree with Edma on this game being 2v2.

For tournament appearances of this game, I’d like to see two formats, 1v1 and 2v2. Some characters seem to really lend themselves well to the multi character free for all and others seem to really shine in the 1v1 battles, I think by having both more character would get played overall and it gives more people a chance to play the game with their favorite character. Radec for example seems like a character that would greatly suffer in 1v1, but put someone out front to protect him and suddenly he’s a monster. Heihachi on the other hand loses in multi character fights because a lot of his juggles and attacks in general are really slow, so if you hit someone, his partner has a day and a half to punish you for it, but in 1v1 that’s not as big of a problem.

That’s how I see it anyways. If it comes down to one format for all I’m not going to be upset, I just think that to get the most out of a game like this there should be some variety in how it’s played.
