Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Announced

i’m not sure if i suck at this game or fat princess does, but all of her attacks seem to get stuffed when i play online. sometimes the enemy hits me WHILE i’m attacking them. her lvl 1 has no invincibility. hmm.

i’m pretty sure i’ve had my grabs teched, kratos’ chains have some reach on them, and you know what radec’s gonna do.

Yeah right now Radec is having a ball on these maps. Both maps are pretty damn flat for a majority of their time so that just lets the beast do his work. (3:00 in this video)

Her lv1 is fantastic. It beats like everything. It’s everything else about her that sucks. Her fireball is okay, but the rest of her tools aren’t that great.

i’ve even been hit out of her lvl 1 by normal attacks from the other characters. it’s like her attacks are unsafe on hit >.>
lol at least the game doesn’t lag, i guess.

Anyone from SRK down to team up? I play Sweet Tooth and actually do somewhat know how to play him, lol. Mainly just want to see what 2v2 is like. PSN is Dragomba (only one o, I had actually made Dragoomba a long time ago but for some reason can’t access it). Don’t have a mic, unfortunately.

I punish a lot of normals with up throw. There’s really no safety on block. On hit, I dunno about that. I know her staff thing covers a shitton of air space and the juggles from that can get really annoying.

her square (i assume that’s what you mean by staff) is also pretty slow to start up, and the only juggle i know of that she can do is square up+triangle. i really wish they would have included a training mode so i could figure this stuff out.

f.S is what I’m talking about.

I’m triggering IPS like crazy with Dragoomba. We’re doing great shit. It’s fantastic.

Edit @ 12:20PM : And apparently the matchmaking doesn’t like winning teams, so we can’t find a match. Disbanding and renewing the party fixed our problem, though. It makes it count as a new party even with the same people, so you can fight more people.

Playing this game 2v2 with people who actually know what they’re doing is mad fun. Especially when you and you partner are constantly theorizing about team synergy and setups. Me and Morgan of Gael are currently undefeated after around 50 or so games, lol.

It’s godlike to hear the rage that our play makes. People hate rushdown Radec.

Also 30+ score in a match is awesome.

I play sweet tooth as well. Got any tips? Right now I am doing shottie > land mine > shottie. I am trying to figure out how to combo in the chainsaw. Also I am wanting to learn more Radec, he is my reserve character right now (not confident with him yet, lol). Anyway, I am about to hop on in a bit, so anyone wanting to add me, my PSN is Djhyperkid.

<body><p>Random Tips for people playing Fat Princess:<br><p>.<br><p>Hold Square down for a charge crumple attack. It was weird armored proprties as well, being able to absorb some light attacks (and I think Kratos’ charge). This leads to either a free combo for tons of meter or an easy free level 1 kill.<br><br>Her summons are one of her key tools. Fireball and bombs are the best to me. It’s free damage and free setups. Fireball launches when it hits, so you can prepare an air combo for them or just spike then down with air neutral square (such a fast air move that keeps opponents grounded for a second).<br><br>Finally, always go for her Level 1 and 2. The only time you should try for Level 3 is if you need some last minute kills or others have Level hypers that can easily counter chicken (Level 2) . This is just because her Level 3 keeps her invincible the whole time and a bit afterwards in recovery.<br><br>Hope that helps! ^^<br><br>~GL

Gotta to say after playing the beta my interest in getting this has died.
Guess I’ll wait for a sale

I got to play yesterday at the PSBR event held at iam8bit. Game was pretty fun, I really liked Ratchet, Jak, and Sir Daniel. We only got to play 4v4 free for all so it was hard to really figure out what the game was all about. I imagine 2v2 teams and 1v1 is alot less random and more fun… Heard rumors that Ratchet is top tier lol.

is it just me, or is radec’s up square useless? goddamn, that thing has like no range and doesn’t seem to cancel into anything or jumps.

Sorry for the discursive, rambling nature of this post. I don’t usually articulate myself this way.

I don’t know if the beta is supposed to function as some sort of advertisement of the game, generally (as well as testing its online functionality), but it is effectively killing my interest in the final product. The silver lining is that I’m sure the final product will be more interesting, but as is, while the gameplay seems good enough, the presentation is lacking.

The entire experience of playing the game just feels sterile.

i.e. 6 characters - 2 of which include *Fat Princess and Radec from Killzone. *The camera seems relatively static and zoomed too far to appreciate any of the detail of the character models that are supposed to drive the game’s energy (which aren’t that impressive or interesting to look at). The characters themselves seem to fail to leave their stamp on the action happening onscreen. It’s hard to put a finger on. I’m forced to go through the tut with Parappa - a character that looks charming but I could not care less about because I never played the games.

The game just lacks energy. Maybe it’s because the only character in the beta who’s games I cared about is Kratos.

Maybe Superbot can play with the audio-mixing so the in-game character voices stand out more or something.

I dunno, I’ve only played about 4 games and ran through the tut a few times in the 2 days the beta’s been out, but there’s nothing in it (thus far)that seems to provide that epic, polychromatic, dynamic, sensory overload a game like this should provide to give it that addictive quality the Smash games have managed to succeed at. Probably just me. I just feel like I need to see more. They should have provided a later build.

It’s good for air-to-air.

That’s what seemed off. It is the camera. Way different than the way it is in Smash.

Played a couple of games with Kratos. Something about the way moves hit also feels kinda lacking. I had fun playing it Although having to press the super button feels like a weird way to get kills.

Yeah, I hope they instill an option to have lives/stocks. While what they created is interesting, the tension provided by knowing you/other players can be eliminated from the gameplay completely and forced to watch cannot be understated and provides lots of fun. I can’t help but think that is somehow elemental to competitive multiplayer FFA games.

Mad hype achieved.
