This is off topic but I would love to see a new vita IP handled by bluepoint using this engine.
Yeah I remember it was awesome. Some of the metagame started to shine through. I was kinda disappointed with the tutorial because it was almost a bit too basic
God of war vita....no i'm just kidding.

Would be cool i guess,never played any parappa game.
My main gripes with the game are quitters and at times the game just gets stuck on the 'ready' screen but no one is able to fight,just hop around.I'm hoping there will be 1 v 1 online in the final game.....

Have they not said anything regarding this?
Ack,forgot about cross buy yeah will be getting it on both.
Edit
n another thought i just have a 4gb card,i think i'll have to make do with the vita version.Yeah, hopefully the full game has big lobbies. And spectate.
Tell me it wasn't you B.O.O.M. who was singing 'i'm in tank bitch!' and screaming with his cat right now.
I have encountered minimal lag but i hope it's improved in a beta update also give us the option for training with other characters in the solo mode.
So you say it sucks, and is a SSB knock off, then complain about it being to simple?
Do fighters get any more simple the Smash Bros. two button set up?
These games are made to be accessible, and there is a lot more than meets the eye in the 2v2 mode.
Sorry you don't like the game, can't be for everyone, but just because someone thinks some of your reasons are silly doesn't mean they're a "Sony demigod".
I'm sure they're there, just very well hidden.

In my last match.
I use Kratos lvl 3.
Then, some guy launches another one right next to me, and obviously I kill him.
Suddenly I hear: "Y la concha de tu hermana" and tons of swearing.
Oh yeah, this game is going to be soooo fun when it launches.

Wait you can kill another lvl 3 kratos with your lvl 3 kratos? 0_0

Maybe I misunderstood what he said?
I didn't know you could do that if it's true :S

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find this on the UK Vita store any help?
any help?General impressions:
+ Online runs without lag on my wireless 3mb upload connection
+ Air maneuvering is easy; can turn around instantly
- Lack of a backward throw is odd; down throws seems useless
- Kratos Level 3 should not disable other Supers. I get the idea is to prevent two Level 3s being active at once, but if I have a Level 1 on stock, I want to be able to kill Kratos.
- Sly's Level 3 hitbox is ridiculous. At first I thought characters had to be in the circular reticle (because it was turning red when he snapped pictures and KOed people) but then I witnessed Slys scoring KOs when characters were in the square frame, without the reticle turning red. Once I died when only my foot was inside the square frame. What's the point of the reticle if the hitbox is the whole square? (What really bothers me is how no one was using Slys godlike Level 2)
Radec impressions:
+ Up Circle is messed up. It clips walls, so Radec can stand beneath ledges and shoot the beam through the floor to hit opponents on the ledge above
- Down Square should make Radec invulnerable while he's invisible and teleporting. As a backward airdash it works alright, but characters with range are not deterred from hitting Radec as they won't get his with the grenade. On the ground, regular rolls are the better movement option as they grant moderate invulnerability; the grenade really does not act as a deterrent from people just swinging at Radec whether he's teleported behind them or away from them. Even off down throws, the grenade does not provide great okizeme (Using grenade to compensate for either forward or backward rolling opponents while Radec tries to aim)
- Neutral Square seems to do nothing. Two hits, practically no hitstun or combo opportunity (maybe it combos into Level 2). Forward Square seems way better but I'm looking for melee options when players inevitably get close
- Up Square also seems useless when Up Triangle (the shotgun) has more range. Unless his square moves have combo potential I do not know about, they seem pretty weak.
- Down Square should be flamethrower and Down Circle should be grenade teleport to keep all melee moves on Square. This is really a minor nitpick.
- Allow his Level 2 to activate in the air like Forward Triangle; I'm still looking for ways to combo into Radec's Level 2
Free For All seems way too chaotic and random to evaluate anything, especially how characters interact. In FFA, I pretty much payed zero attention to who was doing what and tried my best to build Supers to hit whomever. I want to try 2v2 and see if matches are more structured. Stock and Kill limit seem more my thing, both in 2v2 and probably in FFA as well.

Superbot should have a shortcut where, if you tap on the other player's icons on the vita screen, it will automatically mute them. Just a quick tap, or a tap/hold. Some kind of shortcut, so you won't have to pause the game and risk getting pounded on.
Of course, with the nature of a match, pressing pause to mute a player isn't as crucial at the start of a match than later on in the match. The 3 seconds it takes to mute at the start isn't going to have you get KO'd. The only risk is that the other players may hit you and get a little bit of AP in 3 seconds.

Nah. If two people use their level 3 supers at around the same time the first person gets it and the second one blows ALL their meter. The other Kratos he killed was just regular ol pissed off Kratos.
All Level 3's stop supers not just Kratos's I think the general idea with that is you worked all the way up to a level 3 so its kind of a reward basically imagine there is 10 seconds left on the clock you were saving your AP entire match for a level 3 then activating it and someone kills you with a level 1.
Sly is like the Anti-Radec of the beta. Parappa can be two with his forward triangle move that darts him across the screen.
That, and it wouldn't work out with cinematic supers anyways.
Or instead of having to actually be idle in the middle of a match, just make it a toggable option in the game settings to mute all mics by default, like LBP does. I seriously don't like the idea of having to go a menu in the middle of a match to mute people. Especially since I play Radec, where my positioning at the beginning of a match makes a huge difference as to how my early game plays out.
I understand the issue of multiple Level 3s overlapping (though I could see Kratos or Sweet Tooth being in Level 3 form while Sly has his Level 3 out taking pictures). I want to see a change where after a player has been killed by a Level 3, they can once again use their meter to interrupt an omni-form character, maybe even use an instant kill Level 3 like Parappa's to stop a reticle super like Radec's or Sly's.
I'm sure they already experimented with that. Probably what they had before deciding that they shouldn't allow super 3s to be interrupted. I.e. cinematic specials would probably become the best super level 3s then because interrupting them make no sense.

lol I just learned how to change the layout of the controller. I'm so slow :|
Yeah also specials like Big Daddy's where he floods the level because there would be no way to to counter him since he alters the entire playing field. Even off screen specials like Sly, Radec, Cole, Ratchet you couldn't counter Super these characters because they aren't actually on the screen. So it would be only seriously hamper Kratos while everyone else is still able to get 4+ kills with their supers.

No. Unless you mean 2 players on same console vs 2 online.

Oh my god, 1v1v1 is so fun! Perfect balance of having the game feel personal and frantic.
On the downside, last two games I played had noticeable lag, which is a first for me

Awww... I didn't play for about 2 days and now my Sweet Tooth rank is 1 instead of 68. =/

How 1 vs 1 vs 1 happened for beta?
I tried to invite 3 friends into my room and it wouldn't work. 2 vs 2 only or Random FFA. I'm disappointed.

One of the guys didnt connect, but man oh man is 1v1v1 fun! You cant get distracted too long with 1 guy or you'll eat a super from the third guy, and you have to try juggling both at one time, easier to gang up, let 2 guys do their thing and then swoop in, etc.
Your skillz, yo.
I dont think it works right in the beta
