Females (Sony First Party wise)

Must be in:

-Ellen (Folklore) is technically the strongest Sony female character ever (play the game to know why)so she must be here unless Superbot guys are idiots, and she can play be like Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros (aka controlling her monsters in fights)
-Rynn (Drakan: Order of the Flame) has her own fucking legendary Dragon(Arokh) for special attacks and she is a great warrior.
-Jennifer Tate (Primal) a crazy fighter Like X-23 but also she can transform to demon form like Dante.
-Nariko (Heavenly Sword) brutal like Kratos, with big hair and big sword.
-Carmelita (Sly): for furry fans I guess ,also she have a big gun.
-Nix and Kuo (Infamous 2): both are great with tons of moves and powers!!

Kinda want but not really sure:

-Doll Face (Twisted Metal)
she is creepy.
-Natsumi/Natalie or Sayaka(Ape Escape) if Spike is in no need for them.
-Athena (God of War) can be female Kratos, but if Nariko is in then no need for her here.
-Kat (Gravity Daze) game is new not sure if she should be here.
-Preytor (War of the Monster) well she count as female, not sure who you can put huge fucking mantis into this game.
-Angela Cross(Ratchet) stupid Insomniac retconned her out of the canon story so she don't exist anymore.

Do not Want:

-Yorda (Ico) she can't fight at all, annoying as hell, kill her with fire please.
-Elena,Chloe(Uncharted) both are super generic and bland, please don't use them in the game Superbot.
-SackGirl(LBP) female version of that ugly Sackboy abomination.
-Kai(Heavenly Sword) crazy kid can't fight and use use her bow gun thingy.
-Fat Princess(Fat Princess) info said she is in the game, but why?

I can't wait to see this game. I have always wanted a game like this. Will definitely be using Jak and Daxter the most! I hope it is the Jak 3 look. I thought he looked the coolest in that game.

Fat Princess could actually be cool, I assume she calls in other warriors for most of her attacks. There could also be a thin/fat element to change how she moves/plays by eating cake?

I've said it before but I want Lammy in, might be good DLC if they are doing that. Gimme dem guitar solo attacks.

Jak and Daxter are also my most anticipated to play with. They could probably even make Jak 1 and Jak 2/3 Jaks different characters. Jak 3 version would use guns, hoverboard, light/dark jak and Jak 1 version would be more melee focused and use moves of the different eco powerups from the game. A lot of possibilities with that character.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Whether the game is 2D or 3D, I think a God of War inspired battle system could work pretty well for a mascot brawler

- light attack
- heavy attack
- grab
- shoulder button block/attack modifier
- right stick dodge
- a variety of simple combos that are mash friendly, yet can be utilized with expert efficiency

then just add a "special attack" button to the mix, and we're good to go.
 
My main concern about this game at the moment is the graphics... It's going to be hard to mesh all of these characters together in a consistent manner ALA Smash. I'm hoping it errs on the cartoony side.

To enjoy any official news and announcement about the game and its gameplay, maybe we should not assume/hope/compare to smash bros or street fighter or tekken.

If they copy people will hate it, if its original they will hate it.

Hell it could be more along the lines of Def Jam Vendetta (the good one) or the simulator challenges of marvel ultimate alliance.


Why are people already hating this sony game?

Rynn would be cool, but that's digging pretty damn deep. Propably like 40 people know what Drakan is.

This type of games (KH,SSB,or any other cross over) are great way to resurrect forgotten IPs and characters,many new of Nintendo fans didn't know who Pitt is or anything about Mother/Earthbound,but they knew because of Smash Bros.

If Sony smart and want to get some IPs back from the dead they should put some old characters from good -now unknown- IPs in this game (like Alundra,Ari and Stan,Arc) even if people don't remember them or care about them right now.

As for Drakan, Well the PC community still going, forums and fans are alive still,I think there is loyal fanbase behind Drakan (I know few who are PC hardcore got just PS2 to play the sequel),it's really shame that Sony abandoned Drakan it like that.

First LBP Kart Racing, then Sony Smash Bros... that's not what I want from Sony...

(Ok, ok I saw Kevin Butler costume for LBPKart and now I want it...)

I don't know why you are bitching about this. Sony has completely and totally lacked in the casual party game market. I have been dying for a serious effort from Sony in the Kart racing and fighting game genre. Don't buy the game.
 
Seriously. I've noticed since towards the end of last year that NeoGaf has been getting progressively more and more negative and cynical (at least on gaming side). I've been sticking to off-topic more because of this.

I think this game could have the potential to be really awesome. I've been wanting a Sony version of Smash Bros. since like 2004, so I'm hoping they execute it really well. It's good to hear that the studio making it has some talent too. Their website design is great.

That's something I too have noticed - a kind of all-encompassing negativity surrounding, well... pretty much anything. If there's a reveal or a teaser or just some general news to be had then it seems so many folks will go out of their way to find something to complain about, while having very little to go on. I used to brush it off, but it's becoming harder to avoid it now, and I do legitmately think that if I was to register on NeoGaf around April this year, instead of April last year, then I wouldn't have bothered.

There's also a growing animosity between Sony and Nintendo camps that's growing more unpleasant by the day. Some proper Do The Right Thing shit.

Anyway, I too welcome a Sony Smash Bros. with open arms. My first consoles were the Snes and Mega Drive, but it was the Playstation that really blew me away and left an impression during my younger years. I hold a lot of nostalgia for that system, so the opportunity to play a fan servicey game complete with childhood favourites such as Parappa, Sir Daniel Fortesque, Robbit, Vibri, Spyro and Crash Bandicoot is irresistible. Assuming any of those characters will be in the roster of course.
 
How about i use Parappa as a character and KB as his handheld weapon, so i pummel your character to death indirectly with KB :p

Does he scream in pain with every strike?

Why not add some history, like Sir Daniel Fortesque?

Sir Daniel should really be a lock, if the people developing this have any pride at all.

better be in there

Jennifer is one of my personal top choices -- I mean, she's got a great powerset for a game like this and everything.
 
Same, throwing pies and everything.

Also what he said:





Games like Mother 3, Pikmin, F-Zero, don't fit in the fighting genre... yet they're in SSBB

I don't know; all three games lend themselves well to it in respect to plot. Olimar operates pretty much the same as he does in Pikmin, Captain Falcon as a character is a bounty hunter, and the characters in EB and Mother 3 are clearly skilled fighters.

I hope this game will be super successful, it could have some neat ramifications:
- Nintendo will have to up their game with Smash Bros, with online, graphics, features, etc
- Microsoft might even try their own (which would be the only way we'll ever see Banjo & Kazooie, the Killer Instinct guys, or any Rare character ever again)

I got a feeling we will be disappointed when the character roster is revealed...in any case I'm still looking forward to it, this game will be interesting.

Has anyone ever complained about Smash Bros being light on content or its graphics? The online in Brawl was busted, but its one of the franchises that seems to do a good job of what its packing.
 
As a person who loves smash bros, I would snatch this up in an instant. Sony has plenty of characters to use not to mention if they decide to branch out to third parties some.

Considering how Sony made a deal with Capcom to get so much content for the PS3 version of Street Fighter X Tekken, maybe a few Capcom characters will be added to the Sony game. That would explain a few things.

I remember playing Mega Man 8 for PS1. It was the first PlayStation game I bought.

It would be hilarious if Sony's fighter can make it to EVO while Smash Bros can't.

I really can't see it beating out the arcade fighters for an EVO spot. I'm really curious as to how they are going to try and differentiate this from Smash Bros though.

Parappa seems to be confirmed by the third picture on SuperBot's company slideshow.

SuperBot_DayOne_003.jpg

Other than the survey confirming him, how would you surmise that from this picture? All I can see is a Toro figurine on the background desk.
*EDIT* Wait, never mind, I can see him on the card on the foreground desk, haha. I thought that was Nelson from the Simpsons at first <_<

The index card under the monitor on the left side closest to the camera. There is an index card with Parappa's picture on it that says Parappa.

Those would add so much to the nostalgic feeling of the game and make it so more market friendly. I'm not expecting them though, but I sure do hope so!

Ever since I was a kid and got into fighting games (in a casual way) I actually thought up a movelist for Crash.
Hope Crash makes it in (classic design and err 'modern' design too) though.

True, I just mean Smash hasn't had a real competitor until now. Plus Sakurai might be influenced by ideas he might not have come up with otherwise.

Besides Drake, Kratos, Sly Cooper, Cole from infamous.... who else is out there?

I was thinking that with the recent announcement of the game coming to PS3 through PS1 classics maybe Sony could have these guys included in the roster, actually a range of male a female characters.

Could really see them being pretty cool to play in a fighting game. This might sadly create unessessary hope for a sequel though.

You could probably add this guy too:

although I don't know what the licensing issues would be like.

I just hope it has a good range of classic, and current characters. Lots of great characters they could pull out of the grave for this, but sadly i'm expecting them to pull mostly from the current crop of PS3 titles.
