So how does the health system work in this game? How do you know when your character is close to death. I thought they had health bars, but it turns out those are meter bars instead.

The only way to kill opponents is to build meter and then use supers on them. There is no health system, being hit by a super is instant death, and that is how you get kills in the game.

Really? Not sure if I like that.

It sounds weird at first but most of the time you build up your meter to do a super. Some supers make AP orbs spill out of other characters also so not all do Instant KOs from the videos I've seen.

I knew the scoring concept seemed familiar to me.

Shrek Super Slam was almost identical in the scoring method, except it was 3D like Powerstone. One of my cousins had this game years ago lol. It wasn't too bad, iirc.

Anyway, OMFG SONY TOTALLY RIPPING OFF SHREK SUPER SLAM!

Forget all the characters being mentioned, this game needs Biggs:

He would be a ranged fighter, who eats and launches projectiles like Yoshi. And of course, this would be his special attack:

Are you kidding me? A guy comes in and gave the most constructive post about the game mechanics so far in the thread. Two others respond with some lame meme about the post being too long and now you defend them and then say that you can't discuss the game?

guek hasn't played the game though. They're basing it off of playing Smash Bros... There's no way to know how competitive the game is, and the fact that he said oh oh "Game over man. No way this game will work on a competitive level." is very clearly jumping the gun.
 
I said it before, but I'll buy this day 1 for Sora and someone from Final Fantasy other than Lightning.

sora would be awesome.

I;ve always wondered about 3rd party stuff in games like this, does the third party get a portion of the revenue or do they just consider it free publicity for their franchise?

Didn't the GT guys say his level 1 involved Murray doing a belly flop 5 feet in front of sly?

Did they?

Either way, his meter goes from 2 to 1.


Anyway, we really need to figure out a better acronym for this game than PSASBR. That shit's way too long for an acronym.

PSAS?
PSBR?

Also not sure what to call it when actually talking about it. Battle Royale is kinda generic, and the full title or even Playstation All-Stars is too long.

...Man, that really isn't a good name at all. It kinda makes me realize how great a name Smash Bros. is.

"Hey, wanna play Smash?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Brawl or Melee?"

Look at how concise that shit is.

I liked the suggestion of Playstation Crossover Chaos. Creative use of the Playstation symbols in the name would've made it less generic, and it could've been abbreviated PXC. Hell, even Title Fight would've been better.

Totally not judging because the world definitely needs more Smash Bros type games, but...

Has anyone asked the dev team straight up about Smash Bros?

I just call it PS All-Stars now.

Did you not just see the video linked? It's also been asked already and answered on video. Of course this is inspired by that game.

Yep and they were very respectful to smash bros and other games. They also said their main reason to making this game was the fan requests for such a game for a long time. which is true.

Yes, and they're not shy about admitting the influence.

No I literally just jumped back in here to make that post because I didn't want to read through a lot of stupid arguments.

And again, I'm not judging, I just think they need to talk about it and what differentiates their game from Smash and obviously they have so yay!

Stop being so damned sensitive.

Reggie is totally gonna bash this game at Nintendo's E3 conference. I can picture him just putting the Smash Bros. logo on screen and saying something like "While others will always try to imitate success with cheap knockoffs nobody can beat the original. Sakurai-san is hard at work on a brand new Smash Bros. game for WiiU and 3DS. Fuck you Sony."

smfh

the most constructive post? I'd argue that his entire post is just as much conjecture as everything else in this thread at the moment. Unless he somehow got hands on time with the game, and knows all the ends and outs, which is impossible considering the game isn't even done yet, then his post is just him jumping to his own conclusions aka guess work.

I mean no one any disrespect but to claim that the game won't be played on a competitive level at this point, is the same as someone coming in an saying, this will be the greatest fighting game ever made. Nothing but hyperbole.

Between lazy Square - Enix, and greedy Disney, I'd say chances are if hell freezes over will we see Sora in this game.

Yeah, Sora has like less than 1% chance. I could definitely see Cloud/Sephiroth making it in though. I actually think one of them is the second most likely 3rd party behind Snake.

I like how they don't straight-up say they were influenced by Smash Bros.

It's always something like:

"So this looks a lot like Smash Bros. I guess that was a big influence?"
"Yeah, we were definitely inspired by a lot of fighting games."

They're able to say yes without actually saying yes.

That PR training.

But the guy says directly in the video that they were inspired by Smash Bros. when asked, referring to it as "that game."

I guess you took me the wrong way. You should consider not being too sensitive.
 
honestly, I'm spoiled, lol... but I'm angry I don't know more of the characters! Oh well, hype rising!

I'm SO happy from the characters currently announced... FAT PRINCESS!!! Yes! Parapa the Rapper...

Sly fucking Cooper

A killzone Helghast... which means hopefully we'll get (I forget their names) but Rico! and he curses everytime he gets hit!

ugh, this game is gonna be awesome. I'm so happy it's a smash bros clone too, I wouldn't rather have it any other way :)))))))))))


(wishing I didn't sell my PS move...)
 
So is this game not online? He mentioned that it's local and has online "aspects". That always worries me...

Shit needs to be MP ready day one, I won't accept anything less and neither should the gaming community.

No chance it doesn't have online. Even Brawl (barely) has online.

I'm glad to see that so many of you are still as excited as ever for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. From when I first revealed the game 6 months ago in October, it's definitely been talked about quite a bit and I think it's great that after all this time, the hype is just as intense.

Here's to E3 2012 where you're going to see a lot more. Trust me, including 3rd party characters! :)

It's online. Dude in another interview mentioned online play, online tournaments, ability to have combinations of local players and online players, etc.

Just to clarify, I never said these things. I said I'm concerned that this will be the case, and that I have a hard time seeing it being a competitive fighter, not that it definitely wont be. In fact, I tried to make it abundantly clear in my post that I understand I'm working off of limited knowledge and could be completely wrong.

I guess I just feel that if people can go about saying that this game looks great for such and such reason without having played it (which is fine, it does look fun!), I should be allowed to calmly state what worries me about the game based off of what I've seen as well.

But no matter how you come to judge Superbot and Sony in ethical, moral, and inhuman terms, the fact of the matter is, when they developed Playstation All Stars because Superbot knew fighting games, they broke the law."
Fixed :lol.

Sly Cooper fills that role perfectly. Instead of blocking when you hold L1 he turns invisible, allowing him to prowl the battlefield unnoticed. During another one of his moves he disguises himself as a barrel and moves around. While in this state, he is totally immune to projectiles, allowing him to close in on projectile spammers safely. Once he's a bit closer, he can use his teleport move to instantly appear behind them, where he has access to special backstab attacks that leech AP from his target.

I really like this. A way to get around spammers, but I bet someone can walk up to you and knock you out of it. They may allow you to get the sniper if he's annoying enough.
