lol perfect.
but Tomba's IP/copyright holder died long ago ,SCE just published the games in the US and don't actually own the IP..here see the copyright line
there is no one for Sony to get the Tomba rights from.
I was wondering about this.
Surely the copyright hasn't just vanished into nothingness. There has to be some system in place to get the rights to something if a company went out of business and didn't liquidate their assets.
According to Wikipedia, the Tomba games are out on PSN in Japan. If they can make that work, then there's got to be a way to get him in this game.

Already replied about the second part of this comment but I want to hit on this part too. Yes, visually SSB and All-Stars look very similar. But by that same logic . . .
Obviously one of these is just a clone of the other then, right? Of course there will be similarities because they are in the same genre, but MW3 and BF3 play extremely different from each other. Just like All-Stars and SSB: at first glance they look like the same thing but in actuality they are very different.
And I'm not saying Sony and Superbot weren't inspired by SSB, that's a given. But it doesn't mean it will be very similar to SSB.

Come on, brawl didn't invent revealing characters.

I just realized the 6 characters so far are 2 from each Playstation era.

That wasn't the point but if you want to think of it like that then sure. All I'm saying is they are in the same genre so of course they will appear the same on the surface, but when you dig into the mechanics not so much.

That... makes a lot of fucking sense.
Maybe that's why we didn't get to see Drake or Cole or Sackboy.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Same objectives, diferent ways to do so.

Okay, I understand that not every game has to have 100% original ideas to be a good game.
It's just everything I hear about the game, the assisting characters, the Final Smash esque super moves, the interactive stages, the 4 player combat, just seem to be very evocative of SSB. This actually might be a good stopgap for SSB players while we start the inevitable 4 year wait for SSBHD. Seriously, if SASBR (ew) can be announced and released within the same year, it's already beaten SSB in one respect.

Hahaha, I know.
"OMG! They are using the same colours! Don't buy this game!"
"FFS! They are revealing characters 1 by 1, just like smash. Fuck this game!"
The game is happening and the fans are excited, whether you guys like it or not.
Woah, you're right.
Parappa and Sweet tooth = PS1
Kratos and Sly Coooper = PS2
Radec and Fat Princess = PS3
Every fighting game has flashy finisher moves, that nothing exclusive to SSB.
Also the game has 2 stage themes that interactive together, also interactive stages is not exclusive to SSB either.
This must mean that the next reveal will be a PS4 character!! Playable griffon from The Last Guardian confirmed!

PS1: Snake, Cloud, Sir Dan. (Or maybe, Crash, Spyro and Sir Dan)
PS2: Ico&Yorda, Wander, Ratchet&Clank.
PS3: Drake, Cole, Sackboy.
On next reveal?

No, Kratos was introduced first on PS2 with God of War and Radec was introduced in Killzone 2 on PS3.
Edit: Re-read your post. Yes, Kratos appear in a PS3 game but Radec doesn't appear in any PS2 game.

On a serious note, i really don't expect to see 3rd party character reveals before E3. Since there won't be that many of them (being realistic here), i'm sure Sony would want to reserve them as a surprise for E3 as well as the weeks leading up to launch to drum up hype.
I hope it's Kate. Her gravity-altering powers will be interesting to play with.

Ah. Good stuff. Never really played the Killzone games.
I really hope they do get Crash and Spyro though. They were basically the unofficial mascots of the PS1, Crash particularly. Let's just hope if they are in they look like this;

To be fair, super/hyper combo moves have been in fighters for the past 15years+. Street Fighter, MvsC, KoF, SC, etc. Hell, in Brawl, the first thing I thought when I saw Mario and Samus' Final Smash attacks was "holy Ryu Shinku Hadoken Batman!".
Now if All Stars was set up where characters had to hit a randomly appeared floating orb in the sky to get a super.......then there would be an argument. Also, with veterans from the fighting game community working on this game, it should come to no surprise that combo emphasis and super attacks are a big priority. Also, All Stars doesn't have basic smash attacks (holding a direction and attacking isn't a power attack but rather completely new moves).

Don't know how relevant this would be unless they put the game on Vita. Wonder why they didn't announce a Vita version really.
If we're going to go ps1, ps2, ps3, this is what we'll likely see in my opinion 
PS1:
- Gabe Logan
- Sir Daniel
- Ape Escape Character Du Jour
- Blasto? Heh.
PS2:
- J&D
- R&C
- Primal Chick (Alternatively, the guy from Mark Of Kri!)
PS3:
- Nathan Drake
- Nariko
- Sackboy
Third Parties:
- Scorpion (Or another popular MK character)
- Solid Snake
- A Final Fantasy Character
- Oddworld Character (The Stranger would be AMAZING)
- Ezio
Wildcard: Portables
- The Locorocos - an attack force of multi coloured loco rocos. Think Ice Climbers
- Kat

Crash needs to lose the tattoos and grow back those giant, bushy Scorsese eyebrows.

She's a character from a first party game; that's as relevant as it needs to be. Superbot are taking stupid pills if Kat is nowhere to be seen in Battle Royale.
Acquiescence

True. He also needs to get back his soul.
ScreenSplitter
Member
Yes. They help him take control of monsters... *sigh*
She's a character from a new first party title with little relevance. There's plenty more spaces in the roster for characters that are actually somewhat recognisable. Then again, it could be good marketing for GR.

I dunno, the things on his hands and arms look like tattoos to me.

LOL. Ok, that was really good.
It's really such a shame because (Killzone spoilers, if you don't plan on playing it then obviously no harm to read)
Radec is the best character in the entire Killzone franchise. His role in Killzone 2 is what really made the game for me, and his boss battle at the end is possibly the best FPS boss battle ever. He made me glad that there'd be a strong villain for many iterations of the franchise to come. Yet the same game he was introduced in is also the same game we was killed off.

I played some multiplayer way back when.
I remember for some reason, really liking the spaceships and how they looked archaic and realistic.

Ah, so he's Hollow, that explains it.
My exact sentiments, i'm glad that I'll have a chance to play this baddie.
And yeah, Crash have to go to rehab before he can join the roster :lol Personally it doesn't matter if he's absent but original Crash would be a pretty cool.
Snake and Cloud are PS1 chars that definitely needs to be in.
I should be doing hw
Member
Yeah, because Parappa is so relevant. I'd argue the same for Fat Princess. What should that have anything to do with it? She would definitely have a unique and interesting fighting style too, as opposed to half the wish-lists here filled with gun wielding characters.

Kat will have a lot more relevance by the time Battle Royale is out, with Gravity Rush having been released months earlier, most likely to unaminous praise. Not only that, she'll be a much needed female addition to the roster and her inclusion will enable more players to discover her game and maybe even take more notice of the Vita as a result. Her role will definitely serve a purpose.
Plus she has a load of cool anti-gravity moves that instantly make her unique from everyone else.

Hollow is one way of putting it. Personally I'd liken him more to dead inside. Crash Bandicoot needs to be in Battle Royale, but not in his current iteration. Good ol' classic Crash back for BR or bust.
ScreenSplitter

Refer to my post above. Good ol' bright orange, bushy eyebrow Crash.
Unfortunately if Spyro were in Activision would probably insist on his Skylander appearance due to marketing. Meanwhile, Crash hasn't been in a successful game for years.

Instead of getting a Killzone 4
which would suck because all the cool villains died in 2
And definitely agree on the whole Crash deal. Original character design or don't bother to include him.

PS1, 2, and 3 characters are pretty obvious, and Kat could be a Vita character.
But how about the PSP? I can't think of many PSP-exclusive series. Patapon and Locoroco don't really lend themselves to characters very well, though Patapon's already in the God of War stage and you gotta have a LocoRoco stage that tilts back and forth.
Maybe Jeanne d'Arc?

Does anyone else here wish Patapon was playable? Patapon Hero with rhythm-based combat style, Fever-mode super moves and the ability to summon Patapon soldiers would be fun to play as. Perfect mascot to represent the PSP platform imo.
As for the Vita, Kate is definitely the only rational choice. Not to mention that her gravity powers will add something new to roster.
This too. And i definitely agree with the cross-marketing part.

Instead of getting a Killzone 4they should make a"Killzone: [subtitle]" where you either play a a Helghast in Radec's Academy or as Radec himself. I would media-black-out that shit and buy day one despite how disappointed in KZ3 I was.which would suck because all the cool villains died in 2
