Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Announced

I like the numbers for attack buttons, but can we please use j. instead of “a” for air moves? it’s really confusing.

I prefer a, I don’t see the problem? It’s not that uncommon? Also, you don’t have to jump to be in the air in this game.

This looks like it will be the go-to site for PSABR tournaments/matchmaking.

allstararena.com

That site’s got a horrible colour scheme. I’ve actually joined to offer suggestions on it.

Man I was watching some gameplay videos of this game today and I couldn’t help but think that the game isn’t aesthetically pleasing at all. I can’t help but notice that SSBB a game that almost 5 years ago for the wii looks why better than PSA. What’s going on?

It’s simply a contrast in character design. Most characters from Nintendo have a samey kind of design feel, so when you put them next to each other in Smash Bros they look like they fit together. Sony’s character design differs greatly because there’s tons of different teams and design ideas going on, there’s realistic characters and cartoony characters, different rendering styles, just everything in general is different. Superbot went with the theory that the characters should stay true to their original games, so the realistic characters look realistic, the cartoony characters look cartoony, and it kinda creates a visual clash. What it boils down to is a unified aesthetic. It’s not that Smash looks better, it’s that it has a more unified design. PASBR actually looks pretty great visually, there’s a lot of detail, the colors are very rich and pop, it’s just a lack of a unified visual style.

I will say though that it doesn’t come off as bad in person, when you see the game running at 60 FPS on a good TV it looks great. I kinda like that the characters look just like they do in their original games, it definitely makes the game feel more like a real cross over, plus none of the characters look awkward or weird. Even though Smash has a more unified visual style, the characters who DON’T come from that visual style look very out of place and jarring. In Brawl for example, Toon Link, Snake, and Sonic all look kinda sloppy compared to any other character, and it’s not that they didn’t do a good job of creating a model for them, it’s just that they look so different from their original games and everyone else that they just don’t feel right. It’s kind of like an uncanny valley situation where your brain is being tricked into thinking something looks real, but you know it isn’t and it doesn’t process correctly.

Well said. I agree. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other, just different.

[N1 D1 N3x2] N1 D1 S1
Builds atleast 145 AP

the only thing I wish about the character models is that there was some kind of outline on them. it’s often hard to distinguish them from some of the backgrounds.

Finally took this game online. For anyone who not interested in FFA then stay away from ranked match. Three minute FFA with items and hazards is the default and cannot be changed. There’s an option to invite a friend so maybe ranked can become 2v2 if I invite someone. No one on my friends list owns the game so I can’t try it out. Quick match isn’t much help neither as it’s only FFA and 2v2 with no 1v1 option. Quick match uses the same matchmaking as ranked so no lobbies to get around it. There’s an option to disable items but not hazards.

You can invite online friends in local VS. That’s likely the place to get online 1v1 and full customization match options

It’s pretty stupid that that’s the way it is for ranked match. Oh well, at least player match will let you reliably set up 1v1 matches.

Reviews are out and the game seems to be doing pretty well. I might pick t up, but I need people to play with in 1v1…

Day one Fat Princess combo. Builds 50% meter.

New combo video from Superbot and Combovid.com (so basically Maj).

I want to see if that Big Daddy combo will work without a slope.

If anyone wants to do 2v2 my PSN is on my sig

What?! That’s not cool! Why would they skip 1v1 random battle. I don’t want to talk to people and arrange things… That sucks. :tdown:

That cements my plan to hold off on getting it until xmas, I guess local battles at work will still be fun.

Not having a 1v1 option is quite the oversight considering fighter pedgree behind the guys who made it. The guys should hit up Superbot to patch 1v1 option in quick patch. Maybe in the patch that will add the DLC charaters

Damb Dante is fun lol. Only got to play for a few minutes but so far I’m liking him. Taking me forever to get used to jumping with a button though.

Anyone streaming this game?
