FMW Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Or maybe unblockable instant kill supers are a really good idea for a very different kind of game. To me, that does not sound like a terrible idea at all. Just remember that ideas aren't just stupid or not stupid, and there isn't a single goal for a game like this to shoot for. I would like to rephrase your last statement to something along the lines of: "Great, Seth Killian has a history making my particular favorite brand of fighting game! I hope his influence leads the developers to make this game line up more closely with the past games Seth Killian has worked on that I liked." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Release date is October 23rd. A lot sooner than I thought. I hope that doesn't mean we've seen most of the characters already. A game like this needs a big roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Heihachi(the young version at that) and Toro confirmed. And an awesome Parappa level. So that's 10 characters so far and about 3 months to go... Im assuming itll have at the very least 30 characters. It fucking has to since every other fighting game that isnt made by Arc Systems has at least 30 characters. I think theyre definitely keeping the best for last. Well, at least I hope so. At the same time, Im impressed that a bigger character list hasnt leaked yet. Edited July 7, 2012 by Strangelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Didn't Eric Laden out Cole a few months ago? Makes sense. How about Cloud or Lightning? I want some Final Fantasy in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredEffinChopin Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I just got an email with a beta key. If these things aren't attached to accounts (which I don't think they are), I'm happy to PM it to the first interested reply in here.

Mister Jack Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 So here's what I'm seeing so far. The gameplay is decent. There are more special moves than in Smash Bros, but unless I just haven't figured it out yet, normal attacks with the square buttons usually don't combo very well (unless you're Kratos or Parappa) and leave you open at the end of the chain, so unless I'm doing a directional attack I tend to stick to the other two buttons. I've had no lag. Quite impressive. The music sucks. I really hope those are placeholder tracks because right now this is some elevator music shit. It has none of the grandeur or spectacle of the Smash Bros soundtrack. There are some pretty big bugs in the beta right now. For example, if you use Sly Cooper's level 3 then you are automatically an asshole because there's a bug that gives the Sly player control of the game's camera even AFTER the super is over and everyone I've played against has moved the camera all the way to the top or bottom so nobody can see what they're doing and he usually ends up winning because of the KOs he got during the super. Parappa's level 1 is borderline useless. It needs a buff. Not a big one, but it might as well not even be there right now compared to his much, MUCH better level 2. That's all that leaps to mind right now, but I'm sure I'll have more to say later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Spike(Ape Escape), Ratchet & Clank, Sackboy, and new Dante confirmed. I hope to god there's an original Dante skin. Otherwise people will be pissed. Trailers: These were all already leaked and theres 4 more that were leaked, so im sure those will also be confirmed eventually: Raiden(MGS Revengeance), Sir Daniel(Medievil), Nariko(Heavenly Sword), and "evil" Cole(inFamous.) But there are still more characters to come. I think Solid Snake was sort of leaked already. Edited August 14, 2012 by Strangelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm starting to enjoy the game more, but I had a few matches with spotty connections tonight. Unlike Brawl, which will just lag, it will have players with bad connections randomly teleport around the arena during the match. If YOUR connection is weak then it will happen to you from time to time. Annoying, but still better than the entire match slowing down in my opinion. I got hit once with Radec's level 3 super, and then for some reason I wasn't allowed to respawn. Every other player could respawn except me, and after the super was over a bunch of buggy Kratos clones showed up in the arena. I wasn't able to participate in the remainder of the match, although I still ended up winning. Yeah, Parappa still needs a buff. His level one doesn't seem to hit anyone on the ground unless you are within kissing distance. My ps3 froze while I was loading a match. This has happened twice now so I"m wagering it's the game's fault. It's fun despite the bugs (which I assume will be fixed), although I do hope the full version has alternate rulesets like Smash Bros' life counters. Oh yeah, for some reason everybody seems to randomly do their winning or losing pose (usually losing) at the end of the match regardless of whether they actually won or lost. It's rather jarring for me to win a match and then see my character looking all sad and disappointed about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Raiden gameplay. Pretty cool actually. http://www.gamespot.com/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale/videos/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-raiden-6393850/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Nariko from Heavenly Sword, Sir Daniel from Medievil, and Evil Cole.God, the game looks good, but its becoming a total sausagefest. Two females. Thats it.I guess now that the leaked list is complete, were going to move on to the fan favorite stuff. The game doesnt release until November and almost no fighting game nowadays comes with only 20 characters. Theyve got a while to go and to be honest, there hasn't been any character that will make people totally cream themselves. They need at least one or two of those.Im sure Lightning will make it in. Ill be surprised if she doesnt. And if Kat made it in Hot Shots Golf, I think that makes it a bit more likely for her to end up in this. They need more females.Id say Lara Croft, but....you know, Nathan Drake and all....and if we do get her, we'll get the new Lara. I dont care, Itd be cool either way.and I also think Solid Snake/Big Boss is almost a guarantee. Itll be fucking weird if he isnt in here. Like, really fucking weird.

TCP Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not crazy about some of the recent characters. I'm really holding out for Cloud/Lightning, Ezio, Kat, and Naked Snake. Oh and Victor Sullivan would be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'd be okay with Lightning. She isn't my favorite FF character by any measure but damned if she wasn't fun to play in Dissidia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 It's a rumor right now, but since every rumor so far has turned out to be true I'd say it's a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm the PS Vita Beta and you know what I've still not had a single match. It might be because of the times I've tried it but generally, I've not found a single match so far. I can't even tell how the game really feels without playing it. Thanks for the Beta Superbot but come on... Wonder if it's just on the EU side. Considering I was invited to stress test and there are players wonder why I've not found a match yet.

Mister Jack Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Looks like the current launch lineup is complete at 20 characters which I have edited my original post to reflect. No Solid Snake OR Big Boss? Really? All we can do now is hope for DLC characters. Here's my DLC hopes: Solid Snake/Big Boss Lightning (I don't think Cloud Strife is a realistic hope) Rayman Crash Bandicoot Spyro the Dragon Kat from Gravity Rush 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 A bit of a thin roster, and Cole takes up two slots with his evil and good versions, disappointed with the roster. There should really be more bigger characters in there though. Like we get Dante from Capcom but couldn't get Leon or Chris as well? Not even Frank West? And we get Heihachi from Namco Bandai, but a Dark Souls character would have been badass. Disappointed but you know what, as long as the game plays well I'm up for still getting it.

TCP Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Solid Snake/Big Boss Lightning (I don't think Cloud Strife is a realistic hope) Rayman Crash Bandicoot Spyro the Dragon Kat from Gravity Rush YES. YES SO MUCH, YES! I literally can not believe that Snake, Lightning, Crash, Spyro, and Kat aren't in the game. Absolutely astonishing. I thought the guy who does Cole's voice leaked that Snake (David Hayter) was in the game... I know Sid Shuman from the Playstation Blog said this was the final 20, but I find that almost hard to believe.

Strangelove Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Dat MGS2 Raiden costume. Im definitely getting it, but as it is now, im kind of disappointed with it. Having only 20 characters really sucks. Unless youre using HD sprites, I dont get it. HD Sprites are a bitch to do and are time consuming as hell, thats why KOF and Blazblue had such a low character count. Otherwise, Capcom, Namco, Tecmo and every other 3D fighter company has spoiled me with having 30 plus characters. Im also saddened by the total neglect by the Japanese industry. Raiden is cool and Dante is ok, I cant imagine Sony DIDNT want more Japanese characters. Im sure Japanese third parties didnt want to lend their characters and its probably a money issue. Also, the lack of female characters is awful. I cant remember the last time a fighting game had such a lack of females aside from Street Fighter 2. As it stands, im praying to Jesus there are still more characters coming. Im actually begging for Lightning at this point. Seriously.

TCP Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Kind of in the same boat... some weird choices.. like Toro Inoue, who wouldn't be recognizable to anyone outside of Japan. I'm a huge PS gamer, and I'm still not even sure who the fuck he is. And Cole being there twice? Lame. Lame. Lame! A lot of this seems like promotional characters in the games, like Raiden who has a game coming out a few months after PS Allstars... so I find it very hard to believe they couldn't get the rights to Lightning, Connor, or Big Boss. As to the lack of female characters, where the hell is Kat? We get Cole twice but not a character that could help promote the Vita? Seems to me like a lot of this must be planned and is being saved for DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
