GODHAND is still a PS exclusive sooooooo....
Oh my! Gene would be all kinds of awesome, his barrel roll kick and "home run god"-attack could be supers. Will never happen though...
Don't do it.
Please.
You're just going to make everyone talk about it and everyone will throw their fists in the air when the moment comes and they realize...
Gene is dead. Get over it guys. God Hand will never come back. Put the stick away and stop poking the corpse, he ain't in a really deep sleep. Gently put him in the cardboard box and dig a hole near the tomatoes.
This.

Street Fighter vs. MK in a PlayStation game that's inspired by a Nintendo game. It should happen, definitely.

I can't believe people want Ryu or Scorpion in this game. Yea there cool characters but they are already in a billion other fighters and spinoffs. This is the kinda game to show off some new or old characters who haven't ever been in a fighting game before and play with them in a new way then they were intended. I would hardly call Ryu or Scorpion iconic PlayStation characters or offer anything new and different to the game, so that angle is out.
Ryu is indeed a shitload of games, no so much with Scorpion...
I agree that an RE offering from Capcom would fit more with the brand, but if they end up working with Netherrealms and Capcom, it would be a perfect opportunity to have some SF vs. MK fanservice in there.
So what do you call someone who grew up with Nintendo characters AND Sony characters?
I don't get this tired argument.
I've lived through every generation of gaming since the Atari 2600.
I cut my gaming teeth on Super Mario Bros. I grew into my teens and beyond with PlayStation characters like PaRappa and Alundra.
I have equal love for Nintendo franchises and PlayStation franchises.
Just because you don't personally like PlayStation, or identify with the characters doesn't mean everyone else feels the way you do.

wait is that true that you can only kill someone with a super? kind of lame. let us customize our playstyle sony!
Theyve mentioned they have tons of modes...theyve only shown one

The problem with that is the only other confirmed mode so far is stock. That still doesn't change the core gameplay - only supers can KO people. I've contacted multiple media sources and no one is really confirming outside initial impression pieces that the only way to KO is through a super.
Digital Trends is saying you can KO people through standard combat, while most other media are saying no (gametrailers, for one) and most won't comment. I think the reveal and ensuing demo was kind of a crazy tournament where they weren't able to play for long periods of time outside of the tournament they held. Also, obviously, they were only allowed to record a few bits of gameplay so we're only seeing a few minutes of pure gameplay between IGN and Gamespot's few recordings so it's impossible to actually see anything else right now.
Digital Trends article, my post and his reply are in the comments:

Maj replied to me on his site (one of the developers) completely squashing any hope of other methods of KOing, considering the game has been in development for two and a half years now and that they're gearing for a winter 2012 release, I don't think they'll be changing the core super gameplay/KO restrictions, unless they have another mode that would basically be "anything goes"

Still, can't contain my excitement for this game.
I didn't grow up with Playstation characters; at least I didn't grow up playing PS consoles or games, but I still was aware of them and thought a lot of them were cool and iconic in a lot of cases. As someone who has only really played a significant amount of games on the PS3 (as compared to the PS2 which was only a few, or PS1 which was none) I still am excited and curious about this game.
You see, I can still appreciate these characters even if I didn't grow up with them or play all their games. They still are cool characters that bring unique personalities into the mix.

Very nice suggestion. I'd like to see this happen. Not sure what his moves could be, but I'd be interested for sure.

Haven't really been following this game yet; any word on the inclusion of Crash?

The concept for the Echochrome level is great indeed, but the character is not good enough. There are many more interestig

Link is self-explanatory, I don't think this was posted here yet. DLC post-release is possible and mix-n-match online is confirmed.

Usually I would be against dlc in fighting game for example but I can see how some 3rd parties would be more interested putting characters in as dlc. I hope they dont go wild with 1st party character dlc tho.
This game is soooooo coming to Vita

James Bond confirmed?

I wish they would outright confirm or deny the whole super only KO system, or if there was an alternative. I imagine they'll have a pretty big blowout for E3, so I'm excitedly waiting. Either way I'm getting this game, I just hope they have more options.
I thought that the Super to KO system is the only way to kill someone; at least that's what all the information has pointed to.
Schobeleth
Member
That's the thing, certain sources are saying it's the only means of KOing, others (digital trends) say it isn't. There's no footage of non-super KOs since all the footage is kind of crazy and only 4 player FFA matches. I guess we'll find out more at E3 when they reveal more and let more people play it.

Most likely the odd one out is refering to enviromental hazard or death. You died if you got eaten by fish in jak n daxter stage. I think you also died if you answer wrong in buzz stage. If you're skilled enpugh, I guess you can force opponent to death that way without any super, but I dont think that'll be the normal

He even went on to explicitly clarify to me that KOs can be done with standard attacks:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming...n-all-stars-battle-royale-and-we-go-hands-on/
In the main piece he said: "Characters can be killed through standard combat, but it is relatively rare and difficult compared to deaths that came through the specials."
After being confused I asked him and he further explained it:
"Perhaps others had a different experience, but all the other journos in attendance I spoke with had the same impression that the game revolved around special attacks. Although maybe that was just the strategy that worked for me specifically.
I played six matches in a row, using a different character each time. My strategy was to build up my special attack as quickly as possible and unleash it. In each of the six rounds I finished either first or second, and I may have died only one or two times in all six matches by a non-special attack. Likewise, all of my kills with the exception of one or two came from special attacks.
The issue may be the health bar--or lack thereof. Without one, it makes attacking feel more random than a traditional fighting game.
All that being said, its important to note that this was an early build, and it was also a lot of fun to play. I stand by the assertion that it is balanced too far in the direction of the special attacks, and that seemed to be the consensus, but maybe other strategies are also valid.
I look forward to trying the next build and passing on my impressions--probably at E3."
So, he definitely said and even clarified that it is possible. I don't want to discredit gametrailers, but they couldn't even remember what buttons do in the game when they did their two part video impressions on it, so I'm starting to disregard them saying the opposite - that you can only kill via supers. They literally forgot what buttons do special attacks or jump.

The street fighter pro that they hired for this game posted to defend the decision to only have super to ko. I dont think he need to defend it like that if they can really ko other people with standard moves

Source? Or was this the post Maj made?

Yeah, I think he posted in his blog or other forum and someone in gaf posted it here a couple pages ago

I know, but i wouldn't exactly call him a gaming character, in the sense that he originates from games.

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.
For the inevitable sequel, they should just give Captain Quark (playable, of course) an unlockable Blasto skin.

Very reassuring
Gives even more hope for some of those popular, yet legally elusive, third party picks. (like Crash, Spyro, and Cloud.)
