big daddy?
Some moves/characters more than others. Sly/Fat Princess less so than Sweet Tooth/Kratos. Keep in mind that the show floor is noisy and I'm pretty sure there were no headphones, so we're practically playing with no audio and I don't think that helps.How did the controls feel? Do you get a sense of impact when you're attacking characters? What are the major differences between the 3 attack buttons and did you try doing the down and up variations? Please, any info would be appreciated. I wish I weren't on the other side of the planet, I definitely would have lined up for it.
I didn't notice a lot of distinction between the three attack buttons (other than doing different attacks). I might be wrong, but I don't think all buttons had neutral, forward, up, down variations -- I think at least one of Kratos buttons didn't have an up variation on the ground, for example.
It was always 4 player battles, so there wasn't really time to experiment too much -- I could very well be mistaken on some details.
I think it depends on the move. Kratos has an a2 attack where he pulls out a big purple hammer and dives down like a sort of ground pound, which I found mostly useless as it is very readable and seems completely blockable/punishable.
I didn't play as him, but he didn't seem much slower than Sweet Tooth. Sly didn't really feel super agile, either.
Sounds completely in line with the game they pulled that move from.
Hated that hammer!

Forget what button it was, but with Kratos if I was coming down on a character I preferred to use this red spear thing that, on contact, would unleash a quick series of stabs. Kratos also had a neat attack that'd pull you toward the enemy and I think that worked on the ground and in the air.
Hammer was awesome for the hardest difficulty.Sounds completely in line with the game they pulled that move from.

Thanks for the info! I guess there aren't as many attacks as I thought, but maybe they'll add more. :/
They said each character has 24 attacks.

I know, bu--ah forget it. It's still 6 months before release date, they'll probably post some tutorial videos later on. Or if Sony's smart, release a beta for Plus members.

GameFAQs bullshit, disregard.
Yeah... he says "Source: Source Code of www.playstationallstarsbattleroyale.com was hacked recently, with the results posted anonymously. The dates set to "unlock" the characters coincides with certain gaming events."
Sounds like BS. No actual proof, etc.
I don't think they would upload all the characters and their info to the site like that, lol.
They said they are going reveal more characters at a fighting event.

if this is true, which i doubt it is- its pretty lame.
i was really expecting characters we havent seen for a long time. Dart, Sir Daniel, Logan (though it might be the same as Drake), Threads of Fate guy, etc.

the possibilities for his supers are endless (not really)
Mickey awesomeness for level 3.
It was posted by a known troll, so just ignore it. Funny how the "source code" apparently lists costume and gameplay details.

That roster seems a little low quantity wise?
Sony really can't find any other females to put in their game?

probably assumed he'd be in it cause of the Michael ad.

Currently 4 characters from the current gen and 6 characters that were created after the PSone era. It's really disappointing so far.
Lammy, Reiko (Ridge Racer), various FF characters, Jill/Claire (RE), Tron Bonne etc.
Because some people think that "Michael" ad was created entirely for this game, which is silly.

For girls, I'd love to see Nariko, Jill Valentine, Tron Bonne, Regina from Dino Crisis, Yuna from FFX with awesome Khimari assist.

True true, I guess their levels just won't have cliffs and stuff like that. I'll settle for environmental hazards that can kill you though.
Thank you, I'm definitely going to cite credit where it's due on my blog as well. I just have a lot of huge SSB fanboy friends who are hating really bad on All-Stars. I'm a huge SSB fan and I've been wanting this as well, so I just want to set the record straight as to how it's different.
I saw Drake hit the edge and bounce back.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUBQ8r-ll8U
Looks like the characters stop at the edge.
Old Snake isn't a PS1 character by the way. That's totally PS3. I hope we get Big Boss instead.
Nariko, Kat, and The Boss.
Chel from Portal 2 and a bunch of other characters were in that ad...

@people wanting more females: y'all can't handle that royal jiggle.
I read somewhere (today, can't remember where exactly) that they are definitely taking inspiration from it. That said, I wouldn't mind Paul being in this game, he's cool.
They saw what happened to Ultimate MVC3. Smart move.
Ah, it's for a good cause then. If the blog content is good and plentiful, the word could be spread out on the net, too.

Trust me, the game, when it's running on an actual system, is full of color.
In fact, it was one of the things that surprised me the most. I got to play on the Hade's stage, the Jak and Daxter stage, and the Ratchet and Clank stage, and I was really impressed by the color saturation in those levels.
The purple of the Hade's stage really popped, as did the greens and blues on the Jak stage.
On the Vita, especially, the colors really shine, but that's no surprise, given dat OLED.
I don't quite know why some videos and screens do a piss poor job of representing how vibrant this game really is.
You know that almost soft, blurry look you see in some of the screenshots? That's not there when actually playing the game. I'm thinking it's some kind of graphical effect that just doesn't photograph well. The game looks really sharp when playing it.
I'm so excited for this damn game. My 10 minutes of play time just wasn't enough! This is going to be absolutely FANTASTIC to play on my bus rides to and from work.
You apparently can't hit people out of the stage though.

nice to know!
oh, and quick question. was the glowing aura of the characters (when the have their supers) annoying? like, as you were playing, would you constantly notice it? soooo annoying for me.and yeah. damn. 2nd year in college just started... this might not end well seeing as how i bring my vita to school.
He would be my main damie.

First time seeing this video, the game seriously needs more work in the audio department; everyone is so quiet. :/

Big Daddy never will make any sense if this is about the history of Playstation. The first game in that series started out as a timed exclusive to the 360. I get the feeling that he's only in because Sony probably cut a co-marketing deal with 2K for Infinite. And that just shows that they're missing the point entirely with this game.
Anyway, is Sony even going to attempt to sell this game in Japan? They've got one character in so far that will have any relevance to that market. Again, this goes back to the whole "history of Playstation" thing. The Playstation brand was largely built on Japanese series.
During their E3 press conference, they gave a big nod to the Michael ad when presenting this game. I think that's a pretty good sign that the Michael ad is a heavy inspiration for the characters they choose. Especially now that Big Daddy's confirmed.
However, I'm still not expecting Paul to get in. I think Chell might have a decent shot though.

but I thought we already know that sackboy is in the game, and they teased heavenly sword character as well?

Random, but I just got this weird orgasmic match up in mind...
Dante/Samanosuke vs Kratos/Nariko
Solid Snake/Gabe Logan vs Nathan Drake/Jill Valentine
Dante/Samanosuke vs Kratos/Nariko
Solid Snake/Gabe Logan vs Nathan Drake/Jill Valentine
Yeah. Anyone know if there are taunts in the game?
Another thing I noticed is Big Daddy's charge doesn't affect Drake when he has the cover up. BD goes right through, and Drake can get off a lot of safe shots when he's positioned near the cliff. Wonder if this tactic will get annoying online.
The fact that Sackboy isn't in that list makes it totally fake. I didn't even notice at first.
I thin kthey are saying that ad represent a bunch of character coming together for one purpose, not that these will be in the game.
Paul Gale did and he is always right.

yup. l2 is the taunt i think.

Control layout says yes for taunts. Perhaps you can also throw Drake out of the wall move, who knows?
That means nothing to me.If the character is fun I am glad they put him in.

If that roster is true (to be honest, I'd be happy with a lot of them), there's an extreme lack of bad guys...
