Lol. Terry is iconic. I don't know who Iori is, and I doubt anybody I know does.

Interesting. Especially considering that Smash Bros is the best selling fighting game of all time.

Yeeaaaaah about that. If the sales continue to be abysmal I doubt that is whats on Sonys mind about this franchise

But hey that's why I said it would recoup costs
I'm hoping that they go with the mindset 'Oh we made some money on it, but we want to make more. In order to do so, we'll have to make the game a lot better to generate higher interest'
That's what I'm hoping anyway...

There's still some fixing needed to be done.
And I still feel that the super only for score is still flawed all around.
I dunno, everyone's doing Kyo x Iori stuff back then.

Oh well never say never. We got Sports Champions 2 and I don't at least think the first one was a huge success outside of bundles...
I don't understand why, it's a unique system for the game, and more fresh than the usual KO methods. Changing to to KO by damage would introduce a new can of worms where they'd have to assign damage ratings to each attack, which would be different for the AP balancing because it is based on the character's different supers.
I don't think the usual "no penalty" complaint applies because when you are getting beat and see an opponent get a super, that's still bad news. Difference is that you still have an opportunity to dodge.
Nevertheless, the gameplay system may have detered a few but the real problem was probably the marketing. I think they could still make something of it in an eventual rerelease or pack-in, perhaps. Hopefully they continue to tweak the online performance because some glitches tend to get in the way, it's my biggest problem with it currently.
I'd guess Sports Champions has a lower budget.

True but I can dream PSASBR will outsell at least that in the long run (even tho I have no idea how much it sold. I know it was heavily bundled with move :/)
Unfortunately, yes. Aside from maybe Drake I guess.
In this case, I'd count bundles as sales.
I played some on my Vita last night. Outside of drab menus/UI presentation, the game seems pretty well done. Bit of a shame it hasn't done better, especially given the cross-buy and Black Friday deals. It's understandable, though, given the roster.
Anyway, I went through training with Dante, which actually got me a little excited for DMC. Will probably run some campaign over the weekend to get used to combos and the gameplay systems.

It's mostly due to restriction. Compare KO via vitality loss - nearly all attacks can deal a victory. KO via super is strictly limited to three moves, one of which is pretty much a bonus to you especially if you're like Radec.
And my modding comment was mostly for balancing purposes and fixing stuff. You know, like Radec. And maybe Kratos.
I actually thought Dante here is kinda lazy since it's mostly copying some of his MvC3 moves.

Whats wrong with Radec?
Radec is pretty easy to deal with if you get in close to him, but Kratos is pretty OP (at least in FFA and 2v2 on some stages). Superbot already nerfed Sackboy so hopefully they buff/nerf others as well.
Radec is fine. Sure you might get a lot of spammers, but it's pretty easy to avoid if you know what you're doing. And once you get close you murder him.
I always target the Radec spammers
Just stop that grab from getting you through floors and penalise him when you block his square. I'll block it and he just keeps right on attacking

Right, he could use a longer startup or punishment if it doesn't connect. It comes out too fast.
Either that or a general AP decrease.

I beat the shit out of kratos after a blocked forward square, just attack right away.
Now this is just sad, we'll probably never get another chance at a game like this again
What're you talking about? We'll be playing the next Smash Bros game in a couple years, tops.
Please don't hurt me.
Couldn't you call his MvC3 moves lazy because they "copied" moves from the DMC games?

With or without a working online is the top question.

Come on if you know Terry Bogard you should know Iori.
Iori is the red-haired, purple-flamed Kyo Kusanagi antagonist. IIRC he has broken chains on his hands.

I guess it depends on the stage, spamming side 1, side 2 or down 1
Yeah but DmC plays only slightly like DMC at least according to the test
Doubtful. Fans want mainline games, not some party/team-up off-shoot title outside of their respective genres.
I dunno if I'd go that far. The visuals during gameplay do the job, and I'm not sure how much further they could go given the way the game plays. The menus on the Vita version are extremely bland though, and it gives the game a bit of a cheap feel despite the gameplay being excellent, presentation-wise.

No, I don't think it would've changed the outcome that much. People who are interested in DmC, Bioshock Infinite, or God of War: Ascension are focused on those particular games.
As Takuan said, the graphics during gameplay are fine, but the menus are unbelievably basic and generic. That was the first thing that jumped out of me during the beta tests that they ran.
Nintendo did it with "Pokemon Trainer," but I guess the character is better known to be honest

That could be said about pretty much all of the companies you mention there though. They all have some iconic characters, but to make a full fighting game, it would be filled with characters that a lot of people have never heard of. For example, who outside of "internet nerds" cares and know about Terry Bogard (probably one of the most iconic SNK characters)?
I can understand a bit some of the character complaints you mention, but not Parappa and Toro. Parappa might not be THAT known in general indeed, but he is a part of the original Playstation stuff, so it is a perfect fit in my opinion. Toro is pretty known in Japan (the game is coming out there as well).
Out of curiousity, who would you include instead?
Boss Doggie

And Pokemon Trainer himself is a blank slate character and is described more as a player character than Red himself despite using Red's design.
And yeah, 'zard fans are the most annoying bunch but caters easily to the nostalgia fans. Thankfully he's as useless in Brawl as he is in Pokemon ;P
Which sucks because Japan barely has presence here save for a few cast.

Come to think of it, Sony owns the Ghostbusters IP. I want Peter Venkman and Egon Spengler as DLC.

Maybe what Sony needs to do is come up with a Sonyverse.
Rather than each IP more or less be in its own world, have a few shared worlds. One for realistic games, one for cartoon games, one for fantasy.
Like Drake would be in the same universe as Gabe Logan (who despite having what, 6 games, didn't make the cut?). Kratos would be in the same world as Noriko and in the future, that Cole dude. Parappa would be with Sly and Jak & Daxter

You can actually find Kratos' armour in Heavenly Sword as an easter egg, so I guess it could be argued they're both already part of the same 'universe'
If there's a sequel, there's no chance superbot handles it.

Yeah, i dont think that the game will sell that well in Japan because of this, too many "unknown" characters there.
Ghosthunter, the PS2 game by Namco?
Hehe, Ghostbusters characters would be cool
It was made by Sony Cambridge. Namco just published in the US.
Why?
The Vita version is better than the PS3 version in that it is perfectly suited to the Vita and runs excellantly whereas the PS3 version is a bit underwhelming for a PS3 game.
I'm thankful there is cross-play as well, no issues connecting and it's very quick for me.
