I'm going to add stuff to the list that I like. I especially like the audio cue. It would be cool for the Super bars to 'catch fire' or look like they gained power or something when they reach a new level.
All of these things should be rather easy to implement (even with only firing colors off for local players), and would go a long way for the game.

On an unrelated note, how do I/who do I contact to change my GAF name? I want to just unify it with my PSN at this point.

I'm not the end-all of opinions lol, I just wouldn't want the game to get too crazy with the color palette.OK
U no like color coded aura
There is an aura already but it's blue for all
I never had a problem with finding my character in Smash Bros because most of Nintendo's characters are instantly distinguishable from each other. But I'm always having trouble here because a bunch of grey/brown colored characters flipping around against a dark colored background is a bit confusing. Sometime's I'm not sure if I'm looking at a Kratos or a Radec.
This is a great and simple solution.
Edit: Just post your info in the correct format and corporate cheerleader will add you. No need to keep posting the list.

I was one of the people who doubted this, and it definitely does feel right once you're playing.
The main thing that I didn't consider is that getting hit keeps you from hitting others, lol.
Yeah, this is true. I remember everyone initially having doubts about the system, but after playing it, it actually rocks.

Probably right about the color coding going out of hand, but if the other two ideas I had get put in with the rest of yours, tracking should be a whole lot easier.
I again, love the idea of a color coded trail. Maybe that trail should be local only, so that only you see it on your screen when you're the one that gets knocked back.
And yes, the whole "Super to Kill" thing worry is gone. So much of this game is all about experiencing it for yourself to really get it.
Also, How are you guys dodging super 1's? I find it difficult to seem them coming, though I have an easy time dodging Super 2's.

Yeah, I underlined the part where I mention that the colors should only happen for local players.
If you're playing a game at home with four people it won't be a whole lot less confusing than it is now, but that's a common penalty for playing a game like this with a bunch of people locally.
Online or against AI, however, I think these changes would be huge. Plus, it should be a rather easy thing to implement (even with only firing it off for local players).

So, word of advice, don't use XMB when the game is playing or loading, it freezes the system. Upon restart my PS3 wanted to check for corrupted file system but I declined.

That's why I didn't post a lot in Sony Battle Royale because I was afraid to get my hype tooo high that it would just collapse if I don't like the game on release date. Thankful for beta, I felt great about the game and I will spread the positive news about the game to most of my smash friends.
It's great game, and it's perfect game for many smash players to kill their time for awaiting for SSB4, but I think Battle Royale have the potential to give SSB series a ride. Sakurai beter watch out now.

And I think for this beta sly is clearly the top of the tiers. Level 1 is a very easy 2 kill, level 2 is a very easy 3 kill, and level 3 is an easy 4 kill. Its hard for anyone to keep up with that.
Unfortunately I'm having a hard time seeing him work as well in 1v1 without a block button and when his supers can only get 1 kill for level 1/2 and 2 kills for level 3. Really the balancing between FFA and 1v1 seems impossible with how supers work. Like Sweet Tooth's level one isn't as good as some level ones since it can usually only get one player, but it is very very easy to get that one player.
We'll see how the 1v1 balance goes down. Worst comes to worst 2v2 can become the optimal competitive mode in this game.

Can I get on this list as well? I'd like to give this game a try.
I was wondering who this jerk (xD) who kept on killing me last night was, the psn name was really familiar. It was you! Haha!

I think a lot of the problem can be the camera effect too though, it's a shame because I dont always want the hazards to be off, but the camera gives it priority...which may be fair considering you dont want a hazard to catch u offguard.
But maybe they could have some sort of off-camera warning labeling where a threat is coming? Like, you know, when you play sports games and your off-camera, you have some icon pointing off-screen. So, if, the camera is zoomed in, but there is a threat behind you, like Patapon's attack, maybe you would see a blinking Hazard icon pointing behind you, so you would at least get an idea...
Not sure if that makes much sense, but in a 4 player FFA, the camera doesn't zoom in

I think the best solution is to have complete customization over things. Locally, at least, this would work wonders, and for Gaf Game Nights too.
Imagine being able to tweak the AP gain of each character and stuff like that, it could help a lot to synchronize a character's balance to be fair for both FFA and 1v1
I would have said Radec and Sly. Maybe Kratos too.

So Im noticing a pattern where the only players that taunt are the ones who play Sly lol
What do you guys think of making Taunts let you gain a small amount of AP?

I think that "ability" should be unique to some characters. Regardless, I don't wanna see taunt spamming if it does gain AP.

No, I usually saw Kratos, Radec, Sweet Tooth and Fat Princess taunted often after kill three people in one hit.
I never saw sly taunt
TimeEffect

I figured it wouldn't be a problem since u cant break out of it and usually get your ass kicked for doing it.
On another note, I was 30 seconds into a game when Sly got his Super 1.Not sure if he was just really good, or the AP is building too fast for him.

This is what taunting should be for, and nothing more. You better believe I am taunting after clearing the map EVERY TIME!

I usually only taunt after I kill everyone(especially off of a Sweet Tooth level 1!) or right before the match ends. I don't think you should gain AP for taunting, though. =/
That explains why I have been getting freezing problems, I constantly use XMB for the messages I get about the beta.

Can other people confirm this please? It's best to only use the XMB when you want to quit the game, then? In the meantime, I'll put it in the OP, can't hurt.

Lol I find myself using that strategy too. Watch from the sidelines, attack occassionaly and go back to my comfort zone lolololol.
Kratos and Parappa are my favourites and to my surprise I really like Fatty Princess. Not quite feeling Sweet Tooth and Sly though after a couple more matches I may get the hang of them and I have yet to play as a Radec. Love how different each character feels though a better job can definitely be done to distinguish each character colour and such in a 4 player battle, especially if there are many of the same characters. Also Kratos Blue skin has a weird face :

Lost to a Kratos that went 7-0
Amazing 5 kills with his Super 3.

Fat Princess' taunt is helpful when someone uses Sly's level 3 and it glitches, lol.
