I'm looking at this as the birth of a new genre. Nobody calls FPS games clones of each other right? Doom just got the ball rolling ...

Sony is losing me with their exclusives this year - zero interest in this kind of game.
I hope for them this will be different across Europe, how popular is Smash Brothers in our region anyway? Maybe it's huge and I'm mistaken, but to me this seems to be another "american" franchise like Twisted Metal. I don't know if they can afford too many of those.

Parappa not being 2D is a travesty.

This explains a lot. Despite the SSB shell, there seems to be a lot of difference under the hood.
EDIT: Actually the impressions video pretty much compares SSB and this game.
Interesting tidbit: You can use D-pad or Analog to move around
So it's like "Time" mode from SSB.
I'm still unclear as to whether you have to use Supers to KO people, or if that's just a way to guarantee it. Also, what happens if you get knocked off the stage?

Could this shit be kept in one of the numerous other threads, kinda like Forza vs GT5 was.

I think it looks awesome. I hope they have a massive character roster, I'm looking forward to seeing who else they might've snagged for it. I'm kind of down about all the hate it's getting though, yeah it's a Smash clone but it still looks like a lot of fun. I think it'll do Smash good for that 'genre' to be expanded a bit in the long run anyway. Here's to Xbox All-Stars!

First thoughts....
Why does Sandover Village look worse than the HD classic version?
Why is everything so brown?
Why are all the colours so muted?
Why does it all feel a bit po faced rather than irreverent and fun?
From what little we've seen so far i'd probably only buy this if it was 15.00 on PSN.
.... but then you see it in motion and it's redeemed

Do it. The BF3 vs MW3 thread served its purpose.

My final boss prediction:
Three headed Miyamoto, Bill Gates, Reggie Dragon
I think its awesome like some said its like a boxing match KO as many times as you can and you will win.
Everyone needs to watch these videos. The impressions videos are really long and shed a lot of light on the game, explaining the mechanics and how it feels different from Smash, etc.
I would hope that it's just one of many different playmodes offered by the game. Would like to see customization.
It kind of is in a way. It's ridiculously similar to Smash except the key difference being, rather than inflict damage, you increase your power meter.
But in both cases, the end result is the same. Your Supers make it easier to KO opponents, just like their damage does.
Anywho-- checking out those videos now! Prove me wrong!
yup, you would like to have your special meter full al the time, makes the action more frantic lol
but it's too early, there maybe a few game modes, heck, we didn't know there was an online tournament mode lol

Parappa is going to piss a lot of people off. He seems like a massive troll character. He's able to drop his boombox which will release AP orbs to pick up. Other players can pick that up but if they get caught in the beats from the boombox it'll cause them to freeze. His Level 3 super is also the only one that is an instant kill on every character on screen no matter what.
The guys in the GT video said that the tournament that the final round of the tournament that took place there featured 3 Parappa's and 1 Kratos.

IDK, I'm thinking the "Score with Supers" mechanic is going to hold the game back in the long run. Not enough variety in how to score. Also, level 3 Supers look like auto win moves. At least most of the Final Smashes in Brawl were avoidable. Hoping for a demo before release.
they already are bitter sis, bitter and PressedT
On Topic: I hope Nariko is in this
I'm a guy btw, and yeah I want to see some Nariko vs Kratos action.
You mean the three or so we have running aren't already?
Yeah, this is an interesting twist, but I see big problems in the future resulting from the abuse/repetitiveness of it.
So awesome lol.
Sounds like it!

This looks rather underwhelming. I think it's quite clear you can see the game is heavily influenced by one particular Nintendo franchise, and in that sense it looks like it's trying to just be a carbon copy of it. There are some different mechanics to be sure, but the entire outline to the game looks as if they took Smash Bros and tried to put a Sony spin it.
What I find underwhelming is it all just looks so boring. Perhaps this is because Sony has a rather weak catalog of standout characters and worlds, despite almost all of the franchises represented in the game so far to be from quality games.

not really, you can still avoid Parappa's skateboard move
The main difference though is that since player-damage isn't a factor towards KOs and supers are, it'll change which characters you approach to kill first.
In this game it (seems like) doesn't really matter as much as opposed to say, killing someone with the highest damage modifier to be guaranteed a kill for points. You can potentially sit in the corner spamming the whole match, get a super and kill everyone.

That Patapon village looks amazing
Still I'll rather stick to Soul Calibur for party game.

How do the level 1 and 2 Supers work?

In the GT video they do say that all of the Level 3's (except Parappa's) take an element of skill to wipeout all characters on screen. The guy that won the tournament with Parappa said that he actually won by doing two Level 2's and a Level 1 while everyone else was just trying to build to Level 3.
we need a fourth one to contain all the garbage

Was that his level 3? Cause Radec's and Kratos' look really tough to avoid.
Hmmm, we'll see.
