Welcome to the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Beta Thread 2.0! Post here to brag about your victories, tell fellow Gaffers that they're cheap and untalented Sly Cooper players, or simply share your mind about the game! Plenty of people have tried it out now and the general concensus is that it is a very fun game; even skeptics who assumed this was a blatant rip-off were convinced otherwise. Not only that, the online play is very smooth, asides from the occasional teleporting in certain matches. You can scroll down to read GAF impressions, character tactics, move lists, informative videos and the list of players who you can grief.

Or you could be lucky and receive an email invite from Sony. If you're already in the private beta, then you also have access to the public beta that's coming in the Fall.

Here are the available characters and their reworked move lists. Special thanks to tribal24 and others for the information. Also thanks to the anonymous IGN member for ripping off the design of the original move list down to a T and using it for their wiki without crediting tribal24. Ripped off their move list table design in return. What is it with this game and rip-offs? Geez.






JStein0222 is perhaps the most prominent beta player here on GAF, just ask any person who got his ass kicked by him. In this section, he'll break down every character in full detail. You can find information here that's not only useful to new people, but more advanced players as well. Listed below are the pros and cons of each character, click the link to read the detailed breakdown. JStein0222's Write Ups.

Pros:
- Strong combo efficient attacks have long range
- Variety of moves for any distance/angle
- Insane level 3 super

Cons:
- Level 1 and 2 supers are just okay. Moreso the level 2.
- Bald


The Up Close And Personal Rapper Who Will Make You Believe In Yourself
Pros:
- Very accessible fighter, good for beginners.
- Quick melee moves
- Excellent straightforward supers that are easy to land
- Parappa is an awesome character

Cons:
- Not very ranged or varied moveset making him more predictable.
- Has a hard time dealing with more ranged attackers like Radec and Kratos.


A Thief That Leaves The Opposition Confused, Disoriented And Broke
Pros:
- a ton of movement options lead to awesome avoidance abilities.
- quick cane attacks are sweet
- Being invisible is really useful for offense and defense
- Level 1 super is great.

Cons:
- Has no long range attacks
- Helpless when dealing with mid-close range physical attacks
- Level 3 super is meh


This Colonel Has A Very Huge Personal Space And Will Shoot Anyone Who Enters It
Pros:
- Long Range attacks have great knockback and build a ton of meter
- Low level supers can kill from long range, so you know you won’t be counter supered.
- A lot of different attacks; keep foes guessing.
- Bad Ass catchphrases

Cons:
- Slow. Can be annoying when you need to get to the other side of the stage.
- No movement options like other characters. Can basically only run and jump which makes it harder to avoid getting killed by supers.
- Doesn’t have the same up close combo ability as the other characters, strong attacks push people away.


Assassin, Racer And A Clown: This Tough Guy Has Quite A Resume
Pros:
- Strong meter building attacks
- A lot of tricky attacks to keep foes guessing
- Level 3 super can score a ton of kills.

Cons:

- Not a lot of mobility options
- Big hit box

Pros:
- Easy to combo with
- Area of effect moves, good for groups
- Easy to land supers

Cons:
- Lacks range
- Not a ton of moveset variation
- Obese
- Has stage 2 diabetes
Man-is-Obsolete also did some write ups, here is a snippet of his favorite, Fat Princess:
Quote:
Pros

- Great at chaining combos, especially juggling.
- Can rain death from above with bombs and a very effective but stomp that can be used to lead into a combo. Also the Warrior attack out of the air can be chained into a combo.
- Throw swings opponent around and can hit others around you

Cons

- Outside of the Belly Dash mobility isn't great.
- Is a character that will require patience and blocking to be effective
- Have to work for your AP, slightly slow gainer (heh heh).


Below are some official description videos by Sony. They briefly explain moves, strategies and fighting styles of the characters. Very useful, worth checking out for the beginners.

PaRappa
Sly Cooper
Sweet Tooth


Schobeleth

Banner is self-explanatory, post your info in the thread and I will include it in the list unless you're a total shithead, then I don't owe you anything. For the sake of convenience, follow this layout (don't forget to bold):

Your GAF name / PSN ID / Country

It's sadly not possible to invite friends to matches, but this serves as a reference if you saw a worthy Gaffer online and you want to stalk befriend him.
