Playstation All Stars Battle Royale

Archive: 591 posts

While this is true, Evil Cole is redundant with Cole already in the game.

How can you say it's true but then go on to ignore the fact it's true? If you agree with what I say, then you have to also agree that Cole is a diffent character with different move sets and therefore a legitimate inclusion. If you hate Bad Cole, then when you play the game, go all out to beat him. That is the nature of this game. You are meant to have your favourites and your enemies.		2012-08-30 04:43:00

Forget Cole I'm more concerned about the drawn out title. Seriously, was PlayStation All-Stars not enough?

If there is ever a sequel I cringe at the name possibilites that come to mind.

Or it's easy to agree with the fact that not all of our favorite characters will make it into the game. This doesnt change the fact having two versions of the same character is redudnant. There for I fail to see how he is forced to agree with the whole post.		2012-08-30 04:44:00

I didn't ever bring myself to finishing my second playthrough. It's not a bad game. But not in my taste.

You have to play the game differently and make different decisions depending on which version of the character you play. You also get different cutscenes and different outcomes depending on what character you play. Like I said, this isn't the same as Banner and HUlK. They share the same universe. Evil Coal and Good Cole create their own personal universe... or rather, the choice the player makes does. They HAD to be two different characters; otherwise they wouldn't make sense. Evil Cole COULDN'T suddenly turn into Good Cole as you seem to be suggesting he should in this game. They had to be consistent with the franchise.2012-08-30 05:23:00

I can't wonder if Cole will be the same as Zelda/Sheik in the Smash games because a) I haven't played the Smash game and b) I don't know who Sheik is. That's what I meant		2012-08-30 05:32:00

Forgive me. It's Zelda's alter-ego from Ocarina of Time. Instead of a full moveset the two characters shared a down special attack that switched Zelda to Sheik and vice versa. I'm wondering if Sony has similar plans in store for Cole2012-08-30 05:40:00

You mean the new, European beta? If so, anyone who was European/in the last beta is automatically in, for what that's worth.

I don't think the new beta's been uploaded yet, though. I think they're waiting till after TGS (in order to prevent hacking secrets maybe?)

Also, updated info on new beta build:

I got both a North American and a European beta invite last night! (Sorry guys, already passed the spare code on to a friend)

I only got to play 2 matches but jeez, this is amazing! Now... Is there a difference between the NA and EU betas? From those screenshots, it shows Sly being in the beta but... I only have Radec, Fat Princess, Sweet Tooth, Parappa and Kratos.

I hope to play it more after school. I'm liking it so far! 		2012-09-19 16:49:00

And the only difference is no Sly, as well as new menu music (which i love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HY36AvSzrwg#!). Probably some minor tweaks too, but I believe it's still the four stages?

Wish I could just update my old beta client >_>. Speaking of which, I heard the US beta was for Vita owners, so greyspence, are you playing it on PS3 or Vita?

New Trailer showing off three new stages:

LocoRoco
Sly Cooper
Resistance

Looks like the Sly Cooper stage mashes with LBP2 and the Negativitron. And LocoRoco mashes with some... city?		2012-09-20 04:48:00

Oh, well the newer beta client only has 2 stages: Metropolis and Hades.

Too bad about Sly, considering Sly is my 2nd favourite game ever. (Next to LBP, which makes the Sly/LBP2 mashup in Paris super amazing)

Still... I love this game. I have to go preorder it again. Dang Gamestop. 		2012-09-20 04:56:00

Nope, sadly it only has Hades and Metropolis. I'd played it for about 6 hours last night after school.

My favourite character is Parappa, and my brother likes Fat Princess. I've started getting used to all of Parappa's attacks, and the only bad things about him is that his level 2 super is better than his level 3. If timed just right, you can kill people twice with his 2nd super whereas his 3rd just kills everyone on the screen once instantly. (Although It's awesome to end the match with a musical number)

Whenever we play a 2v2 match, it ends up being Fat Princess & Parappa vs Kratos & Kratos though...
I think Kratos kinda needs to be toned down. 		2012-09-20 12:31:00

So Locoroco with Metal Gear. That's a definite clash.

And yet again, seems they went with the giant monster in the background style of mashup. Huh. Well, anyway. I like the Negativitron in Sly Cooper's Paris level XD

I will NEVER ignore it!

Anyway, Superbot's TGS conference is tomorrow. Because of time zones, I'll just say I believe it is 5 a.m. Eastern.

Also, it is looking VERY likely that we;ll get new characters. Specifically, PS1 characters. Specifically, Cloud. Yeah, there's a bunch of hints that Cloud will be announced. Also, Wander.

Maybe. Don't take it for granted, but Seth Killian seems to have confirmed a PS1 character released then (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/09/20/playstation-blogcast-043-pomeranian-all-stars/ talk about this game starts at about 23:00). Some other info too, may wanna check it out. Anyway, I'm guessing Cloud will be announced tomorrow. Feel free to crucify me if I'm wrong.

But key accurate info:

- The announcer yells your level when you reach a level such as "Level 1!" and so on.
- Setting the theme as Nathan Drake will have a sandstorm in the background
- Single player will have various matches from 2 vs 2, 3 vs 1, FFA etc.
- Thousands of hours of character trials from combo trials to challenges
- Progression system for each character which unlocks stuff
- Dante's rival is Nariko		2012-09-21 19:32:00

The reason that they're mixing everything up is because, well, we have characters from different universes clashing together, so they're doing the same with the stages to give it a true crossover feel to it.

At least, that's what I think.		2012-09-22 04:15:00

Yeah, the stages are supposed to clash two completley different games together. I don't think many stages will be bad, I just wish there wasn't a big monster in almost every single stage.		2012-09-22 05:08:00

At first I thought the stage mashups were a stupid idea. Then I watched some actual gameplay and that completely changed my mind, it allows for much more creative stages if they are not restricted to it being based from one game.2012-09-22 10:20:00

49 Days till it's released in America (and in Europe and Australia within the following 2 days)... Then, we'll finally get a definitive answer on the character number debate :/ At the moment, a lot of people are saying only 20 or so, but Paul Gale (the guy who first leaked the game) insists he knows of more. :/ All I know is the gamefaqs and official playstation board are hell holes right now XD

Oh yeah, I may be starring in a podcast of this game soon. Wheeeeeeeee, I bet you're all so thrilled. Anyway, if anyone is interested in participating too, you can go here (http://www.playstationallstarsarena.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76).		2012-10-03 01:44:00

I seem to remember seeing a tweet from one of the devs that the 20 that have been revealed are the 20 that will be present at launch. Since they specifically said "at launch", I assume that there will be some quick DLC. Hope this won't turn into another on-dics-DLC debacle.		2012-10-03 05:11:00

I won a free month of PS+ to play this beta again from some random website that I don't quite remember the name of.

I mostly play 2v2 with my brother, using our team of Sly Cooper & Parappa. I think we've only lost like... Once so far.

The only thing that bothers me is how overpowered Kratos is still... His level 3 super pretty much guarantees 2 kills-per-enemy it seems, since he can just shoot laser beams at people. Parappa's level 2 super is way more effective than his level 3, so I don't even know why they bothered having the level 3 at all (Well... it looks awesome...)! The skateboard attack gives you a chance to get 4 kills, but the final super only gives you 3... And using the skateboard is really easy.

I've noticed quite a few improvements since the last beta though, besides lag being worse now.

Anyone else experiencing this bug? I'll join a game and there will only be one or maybe two other people playing. After playing through the game at the final scoreboard it will say there were four people playing. This is frustrating as I'll think that I'll have a game only to discover that some hidden person got more points than me. Maybe the weirdest part is that, although there are apparently other people playing, I never get hit by any invisible attacks.

Other bugs I've found are that sometimes people don't respawn for ages and occasionally I'll be unable to attack for about 5 seconds (not dazed, I can still walk and jump).

Apart from this I'm enjoying the game. My favourite character is Kratos, though I feel that he's a bit OP.		2012-10-18 18:34:00

Kratos needs to be watered down. Severely. Like.... I mean with all the water in the world's oceans. His level 3 super got a new way to attack (I believe) from the cross-play beta, and now he can shoot lasers at players across the stage. It's extremely annoying.

Sly Cooper is executed SO WELL though. Every super he has is fantastic, and his sneaking ability is so much fun to use.		2012-10-18 21:23:00

So I haven't been the only one annoyed with Kratos. While the beta's fun and all, I really hate joining match against nothing but people going Kratos. Really, that's all you ever see: Kratos vs. Kratos vs. Kratos vs. You. He's so OP it's ridiculous, and his lvl 3 Super is broken.

In other news, spamming triangle with Radec is surprisingly effective. His controls do feel clunky nonetheless.		2012-10-19 00:40:00

I think that Radec and kratos are cheap. Kratos is able to spam anything, and his level 3 super is horribly overpowered! And the Sniper with Radec is SUPER cheap. It get's him 40 AP and it sends you flying back.

At least most people I join aren't too great, since I play 2V2. Earlier I went 8-0, which made me feel amazing. I can't wait for this game, I LOVE it. The 2 beta stages are getting old and repetitive, but that's okay for now. I'm going to try all of the characters locally with Klaww, since I don't want to try out 14 new characters online, when I could just do awesome as sly. 		2012-10-19 01:24:00

Yeah, Radec and Kratos need some tweaking in my opinion. I'm fine with Kratos' range but his level 3 super is waaaaay overpowered. At least in the 2 stages in the beta (Metropolis and Hades), since they're more horizontal.

Radec's sniper is unfair and spammy. It isn't so bad, since I can usually easily make my way over to him and combo him off the wall of his little corner a few times but half the time in free-for-all matches, the other 2 people try to swarm me and let Radec snipe us all...?

I really wish Parappa's level 3 super was better though... Superbot said they were worried that Parappa's level 3 super was unbalanced. That only guarantees one kill-per-enemy. Kratos can easily get 2-3 kills-per-enemy... To make it worse, Parappa's level 2 super actually lasts just long enough to kill someone right after they respawn and you can get more kills with that​ than his level 3.

Also, I love how they added taunting to this version of the beta. (L2 on PS3, Select on PS Vita)

Just played a match. Dominated as Fat Princess somehow, so I decided to go Parappa on the next one. I went up against 2 Kratos and a Sly.

If they don't work out the OP in Kratos It will seriously ruin the entire game for me.
I have yet to get into a match without Kratos. LITERALLY.
I suppose it's because of the limited selection in the beta, but seriously.... Could it really hurt you to try someone else for a change? Its especially infuriating when I'm the only person in the match who ISN'T Kratos.

As for the other characters, Sly is slightly rare to find, sweet tooth and Radec are quite common now, people using Fat princess are brutally hard to find, and if I get into a game with more than 1 Pa-rappa, I'll give the next person I see 20 dollars. It's almost REFRESHING to see people using Pa-rappa...		2012-10-20 02:19:00

Downloaded the BETA yesterday. Saw waaay too many Kratos. At least SOME Fat Princesses and sly's. Only 1 Pa-rappa.
Most people online suck, or I'm just very good. I always became first or second. (Fat Princesss FTW!) :3 I laughed out loud when the Patapons attacked Hades, and when the Hydra ate Qwark. Totally getting this game!		2012-10-20 12:22:00

Fat Princess was my favourite character, before sly was added in this beta. I hate Kratos' level 3, but as Sly it's easier to dodge, since you can go invisible. Most of the time I still die once or twice, so yeah.

Sly's level 3 is AWESOME. It gets him about 4 or five kills, but it depends on how you use it, and if it's a team match or not. I get 4 kills on a team match, and five on a normal match. Still shocked at how I barely lose though, I shouldn't be too good. It might be since I've always play Super Smash Bros. but the fighting is totally diffferent though, so I don't know.

Also, I have been finding less Kratos than the last beta. Well, not less Kratos, but just more characters. there are still a lot of Kratos and Radecs, but I seem to find Fat Princesses quite a bit more. And on team matches I seem to find people being mine and Klaww's old team of Parappa and Fat Princess, which shocks me.

I tried doing pre-orders at Best-Buy and Futureshop, but they only have online pre-orders only. I guess I'm going to have to go to EB. Never wanted to go there again, after how they screwed up LBPV for me though. 		2012-10-20 14:39:00

I'm starting to get the hang of countering specific characters as Parappa.

By specific characters... I mean Radec and Kratos.

Parappa's mic grab attack (circle) has a slightly longer range than Kratos' grappling attack, so when it comes to Kratos I try to use that often, followed by a throw (Right Analog Stick) to raise my AP and lower his (To prevent his level 3 super). I know it seems spammy but... It's Kratos.

It's a good idea to block and wait until he tries grappling you first, so you have a good opening.

For Radec, I just keep blocking/dodging all his sniper bullets and roll over to him. Once I get up to him, I use a mic grab (circle) before he runs to the other side of the stage and then I whack him with my skateboard into the wall (triangle). Before he hits the ground, I usually jump up to him and use the boombox attack (up + circle).

I'm still not that good at doing combos though. 		2012-10-20 16:02:00

Those aren't the only things that are different. you get your supers by hitting other players, instead of hitting a ball that just gives it to whoever hits it last. It's just way more balanced than Smash Bros. in the way of how you get your supers.		2012-10-21 16:03:00

That's about the only thing balanced. Gameplay wise, Smash Bros.'s health-percentage-thing made the game way more balanced that fighting for supers because if you missed your super you just wasted all that time fighting for nothing, where as Smash Bros. you had to survive and kill for as long as you can before you get killed. I'm liking the beta so far but the game isn't really enjoyable when some things were half-assed like the animations, the music, or even Parappa's level 3 super.		2012-10-21 18:09:00

So there are some music tracks online. They're ripped from the beta by some guy who had to reconstruct the files, so they're not in "order". For instance, the Resistance stage starts with Dr. Nefarious' battle theme because he didn't realize that was the mash-up music. But yeah, it's still there for those interested.

It just seems odd to be so blatant in ripping off nintendo.

I thought we all got over this.Why should Nintendo be special and have their own little style to themselves? GTA, Jak and Daxter, and other countless games had their styles and ideas ripped off, but it also creates new opportunities and pushes the original creators to step their game up (and Nintendo could use the motive; Brawl was terrible in comparison with Melee).

By the way, I just want to go technical here since you're bringing up rip-offs: the only MOBA in existence as far as I know is League of Legends (LoL). The team (Riot) behind it labeled it a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) because the genre was still not defined yet and they wanted to make their version of the original DotA game stand out. However, the game itself is a rip-off and the original modder for DotA, icefrog, got hired by Valve to make Dota 2 which was labeled as an ARTS (Action Real Time Strategy). Because icefrog gave the official sequel to his own mod a specific genre it stand more as a proper term, unlike Riot's "genre" MOBA which, by technicality, would fit any online game into its genre because of how vague the definition is.

TL;DR There's no real genre for the DotA-like games, but ARTS is more proper than MOBA because only LoL is labeled a MOBA, and MOBA is too general to specify a single type of game. How's that for a discussion on rip-offs?		2012-10-23 20:06:00

Scratching ideas off of one another is one thing, but this isn't as simple as making a similar game of the same genre. If we say the genre that has been chosen is a 2d sidescrolling party brawler, then sony have still robbed the idea of putting their major characters into the game to fight (plus a bunch of characters I've never heard of like that black haired fellow) A game like ragdoll kung-fu takes the smash bros formula and alters it to create its own game. this doesn't alter it at all, its basically the same game with a different (if only slightly) core game mode.
Whilst LOL might be the only game labelled MOBA, plenty of others are taking the ideas used in the game to create their own styles, look at RaC: Qforce for a MOBA-like game, or awesomenauts, two games that prove that whilst the core ideas can carry through, totally new experiences can be crafted from the same core ideas. As far as I'm concerened, a simple change from knocking players over the edge of a level to having to kill them with a super charge attack doesn't count as a change substantial enough to be considered not a rip-off.
This arguement can be carried on for a long time to come so I'll step down now to stop from de-railing the entire thread, just know that in my opinion this game is a bit of a cheap move by sony, attempting to minimize losses by the WiiU by providing alternatives to all Nintendos current major franchise (LBPK and this, maybe some others too, I'm not too familiar with NINTENDO)		2012-10-25 17:11:00

I think that what we need is:

1. Take a "neutral" game developer;
2. Make three separate games for each major platform;
3. Have each version of the game allow access to its console exclusive characters (plus some common characters between all games)
4. Make it have cross-platform online.

I'm not serious, but I know you would at least be curious to try something like that out. 		2012-10-25 19:03:00

Every SINGLE person I find online now just spams. Whatever character, too. Sly, Fat Princess, Radec, Kratos... It sucks.

It also sucks how if you're in a FFA match online, and there's a radec, no one does anything about him, but they keep fighting while he snipes everyone. Radec needs to be nerfed. His sniping attack is annoying, but it gives him a lot of AP at the same time! As Sly I tend to stop Radec fairly quick by using my circle button attack, because no matter how far away I am from him, I go behind him, and shock him.		2012-10-25 22:31:00

Well that's typical: either the trophies are easy or they're just ridiculous time consumers. I was hoping for some better ones this time around like the "3 kills" one: seems like a bit of a challenge getting 3 kills with one lvl 1 super.

That late response....

I'm dropping the matter too, although I still stand by my opinion: everybody rips-off everybody once in a while (see Saints Row). Sony's not doing something new here and I'm okay with that.

I think the best way to balance him out is to increase his animation speed by .5 sec and to cut his AP gain in half (or at least make it equivalent to a normal attack). That way the nerf would encourage people to attack head on to gain AP faster instead of sniping in the back all day; plus, sniping to knock opponents away instead of gaining AP will be more effective.		2012-10-26 19:57:00

That way the nerf would encourage people to attack head on to gain AP faster instead of sniping in the back all day; plus, sniping to knock opponents away instead of gaining AP will be more effective.

Exactly. The thing I don't understand though, is how everyone complains about him on every single forum, which means that you shouldn't run into Radec or Kratos TOO often, right? Shouldn't people realize that the character is cheep if they always run into them? I admit, Kratos is a GREAT beginning character, but when Kratos is the only character you've been... It's just annoying and cheep.		2012-10-26 21:42:00

I think we have to remember how OP characters work: everybody will complain about them, but because they're so OP people will pick them regardless of complaints because a) they're easy to win with, and b) if you don't pick it somebody else will.		2012-10-26 23:22:00

Don't know if this's been posted, but saw this trailer before Wreck-It-Ralph today. Thought it was interesting.

Not really, no, it's just a two hour gameplay video that discusses the ins and outs of the supers and the differences in the characters. By the way, the character roster is 20 but there are two boxes with question marks on them.		2012-11-08 09:39:00

I'm pretty sure the two question mark boxes are random-character buttons.

I can still hope for Crash and Spyro as DLC though right? ...Right?

I really can't wait for this game and Sly 4.

I did notice in the beta, towards the end of it, people had started abusing the heck out of Parappa by using that one combo over and over again. I mean I know it's an easy 70 AP but can't you do some other combos than just that one? 		2012-11-08 12:11:00

Thats the trouble with making characters rivals, you get half way through the line up with good connections between the two characters then you have a remainder that have to fit together somehow.		2012-11-09 02:09:00

By that way of thinking, we might as well make Radec the rival for Fat Princess.

In Bioshock, Big Daddy is also reffered to and seen as "Mr. Bubbles", the Little Sister's favourite plaything. When Sackboy came along, Big Daddy couldn't handle him being the new toy on the block. Given the Big Daddy's explosive temper and bloodlust, and Sackboy's constant cute charm, the two are the perfect rivals for one another. 		2012-11-10 17:33:00

Got the game digitally and am enjoying it quite a bit so far. Mechanically and in terms of how controls feel it's quite a bit different from Smash, but it's still good in its own way.

One big thing I noticed playing as Sackboy is that there may be a tease at an upcoming costume. His level 1 Super has him briefly switch costumes to a character like Drake, Cole....and PaRappa! I'd buy that last one in a heartbeat.		2012-11-21 03:24:00

The thing is is that they already made Drake and Cole costumes, so I'd just expect them to make a PaRappa costume.		2012-11-21 16:10:00

They need to fix online for it. Sometimes you change characters when a match starts. Sometimes in 2v2 your partner lags and stands there while the other 2 is using my partner as a punching bag to get level fuel. It also takes a while to connect to a match...2012-11-24 17:51:00

Subspace Emissary wasn't all that great. It's really more like the equivalent to Smash's "Classic Mode" than a story.

Yeah, but why would you really want platforming in a fighting game? they could've made the subspace emissary revolve more around fighting than platforming.

Anyway, I'm loving this game, the only downside is Raiden, and how fast Kratos gets AP.		2012-11-25 22:11:00

To be fair, there really hasn't been a fighting game that I know of with a half decent story.Even brawl had a very shallow storyline.

Raiden is annoying as hell, but I'm not sure how Superbot could fix him. Kratos, however, should have his AP gain per attack reduced to the ground. I've seen someone get his level 3 twice. I could have sworn I only saw him using attacks mapped to the square button.		2012-11-26 00:39:00

Yea, some of the character's first "Supers" are better than their second or 3rd. Like Radec.

Sly is dissipointing to me. You can't block or dodge with him but instead in can go invisible...almost.


Also Raiden is not a problem with me. Face Alot of Raidens online and pretty high ranks but they still lost to me. Kratos however....Stupid long range blades...

BTW: Doesn't anyone think getting these trophies are easy? Like all of them? some are not specific like Champion- defeat the 3 people team. Just put the a.i easy and done. you win. And the ones with the character doing level 3 at a specific stage. just go to practice and fill up level 3 and bam.		2012-11-26 07:38:00

I don't usually play brawlers or fighting games in general, but was really curious about this one cause of all the familiar characters. In the end, I really don't regret getting it. Even for someone who knows next to nothing about fighting games, it's really fun .

He's very fun to play as, in my opinion . A little tricky sometimes, but I think that's part of the charm. And all his taunts, intros and outros look so adorable.		2012-11-27 01:27:00

Yea, with all the point bubbles you get from using the level 3 you can just rack up enough to get another... and another... He's really great. Some of his moves are confusing though.

Is Sackboy actually a useful character? Fun to play?

It really depends on how you use him. I'm currently using him as my main and I'm having a ton of fun. He's less of a "GET AP ALL THE TIME SUPER QUICK" character and more of a "Build it up quietly" character. While he gains the most AP with his projectiles and electricity chip attacks, it's important to use his physical attacks as they are useful for knocking out crowded areas and "Super-blocking" other players.

I'm level 611 with him right now, but here's the most recent picture I have: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A8wVtCZCYAIaQL0.jpg:large
(Also seen: Evidence of frequent Kratos and Raiden abuse. It's absolutely terrible)		2012-11-28 03:27:00

That was my favorite part about the whole game! I loved SSB, and when I learned that Sonic was in it, I needed it. I was so excited when I saw him in the story. Sonic is also my most favorite character in the whole game, and Green Hill was my favorite arena.

Sonic was shoved into the game last minute and it shows. His entry was lazy, all of his songs for Green Hill were just rips from Sonic games instead of remastered versions like every other franchise. And most of all he was a half baked character. Horrible priority, weak finishers etc. His only advantage was his speed and it was hardly useful. He was flat out bad. Otherwise I would've been thrilled with his inclusion.

As for All Stars: Currently maining Dante as his ability to combo and juggle is just too fun. Toro is probably my runner up. Sackboy would be third as I just love him. But I find him less effective than most characters in the game. Other than his abysmal range I don't think he's bad, but it seems like his moveset will involve a lot more set ups from the player, otherwise he's pretty easy to avoid. Predictable projectiles etc.

It's not that surprising. At first glance the game is nothing more than a Smash Bros. knock off with Sony's line of characters. Of course it's not, but sadly that's the attitude most people have against this game. Not to mention there really was not that much hype outside of the PlayStation community for the games launch to begin with. A darn shame though.		2012-11-28 08:55:00

Actually, in SSB, Snake, Sonic, and Kirby were my best characters. I absolutely domiated. I NEVER LOST.

Man, man, man! I've been having some really tough time with this game's online mode. I loved the Arcade mode, but I haven't got the chance to play a single game online due to technical problems. No matter if its a ranked or non-ranked match, I always get kicked from the game with a freaking error code at the very first seconds of it. It happened as well to me in the BETA. I'd hoped it would have been fixed by now.

I don't really consider I have a bad internet connection, I play Halo 4 in my Xbox360 that is much farther from the modem than my PS3/PSVita (same problem fro both versions), and other games like LBP2, LBPVita or Killzone online run very smoothly as well. Has anyone else experienced this issues? Have you been able to solve them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!		2012-11-29 04:49:00

Out of those three Snake is the only good one.
Perhaps if you're playing with items on and playing against casual players on hazard stages Sonic is decent. I played competitively (I mained Peach) and Sonic never placed well in tournaments and sits low on the tier list.

And the controls for All Stars I find pretty comfortable.		2012-11-29 06:03:00

Superbot has announced that the first patch for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is coming early next week. According to Superbot’s official Tumblr, the patch will add a new item called Medusa’s Gaze (presumably from God of War) as well as a number of bug fixes.
The following bug fixes will be applied:

View Invites has been added to the Party Bar Menu
Voice chat icon added to loading screens
AI logic enhancements
Superbot also detailed the following network performance improvements:
Issue where players were stuck with a different character than the one picked has been addressed
Issue with matchmaking in regards to player skill has been addressed
Overall improvements to network connectivity

Superbot will also make major changes to Sackboy, including increasing the cost of each of his Super attacks (level 1 will increase from 100 to 150 AP, level 2 will increase from 325 to 400 AP and level 3 will increase from 600 to 750 AP). Sackboy’s Jam Session (neutral Triangle) will also have its AP generation reduced from 25 to 10, while Cakeinator (neutral Circle) will be reduced from 25 to 20.
Superbot concluded the post by thanking fans for their feedback. “We’ll continue to closely monitor the data coming in as players online continue to kick-punch-chop their way through the leaderboards,” wrote community manager Daniel ‘Clockw0rk’ Maniago. “We ask that you keep tweeting, posting, and discussing ways that your experience with the game can be improved.”

I wonder why they'd want to fix him, of all characters. He's actually a bit tricky to play as already. Not that my opinion really counts; I'm not any good . Oh well, Sackboy will still be awesome. It might be more of a challenge but challenges are fun .		2012-12-03 05:01:00

So, I got the game... and love it! I've been playing mainly as good ol' Sackboy. If anyone wants to team up online, send me an friend request! I need people to fight with. Out of all of the team matches I've been in, 3 of my teammates stuck around 'till the end. 8 left me fighting 2 on 1. It's quite frustrating.

As far as the nerf goes, I kinda understand but also feel Kratos needs one too. His side square lets him gets lots of AP.		2012-12-03 10:03:00

I can agree that Sackboy may need a small reduction in the amount of AP he gets from his Cake or Jam attack, but not a freaking nerf-nuke like they just dropped on him. I know it's to discourage spam with Sackboy, but it also affects the people who play sackboy properly.

I've moved on to Sir. Daniel as my main now anyway.He's great fun to use and his character is incredibly appealing and well designed. It literally makes me want another Midevil game.		2012-12-03 20:23:00

You know, these nerfs aren't really that big of a deal. There ARE more ways to deal damage and gain AP than those attacks. But yeah, they DO need to pay attention to FREAKING KRATOS. UUUGH.

But yeah, this game is good. Maining Sackchum with the zebra costume~. Secondary being Sir Dan Forte. :3		2012-12-04 04:42:00

Yeah, I bet it will only make it even more fun in the end . Is Kratos really that overpowered? I haven't been able to try playing multiplayer or online yet but he seemed fine as an opponent in arcade mode.		2012-12-04 04:57:00

First screens of Kat + Emmett, also a new Heavenly Sword/ Wipeout Mashup stage

Ooo, more people I get to test out and see if I like 		2012-12-04 05:17:00

I dunno, it just seems that Kratos gains a lot more AP than one would think.

And in general, I just don't like Kratos at all. 		2012-12-04 06:12:00

So... for Emmett, it seems like he gets weapons from building 'weapon pods'. But it isn't his super. Maybe he has different movesets like Kuro depending on the weapon he has? That'd be interesting.
Looking forward to playing as him and seeing his supers. I'm guessing it's vehicles and/or dropping buildings on people.		2012-12-04 10:09:00

I'm not a fan of Kratos either. His AP does seem to build quicker than most but I can usually dodge his supers so it's not all bad. I actually felt that Raiden is the most powerful from what I've played so far. Nice to see the dlc coming, I hope they add some more modes and trophies though as the single player is pretty minimal at the moment. Brilliant fun in multiplayer mind you, perfect for some quick rounds with friends. And taking two people online works really well too.2012-12-04 10:27:00

Really now?
Hah, always nice to know there are others that share common interests. :3

But yeah, I love Sackboy too much to let him go. But if the time comes, I won't be afraid to get Daniel's bony hands dirty again.
I got him in his Golden Armor, ready to drink from a chalice when he wins.
Sackboy merely dances. Intro and outro.

Also, you gotta love the interaction between Sweet Tooth and Kratos~.

WELL LOOK AT YOU,

Okay it's official... Sackboy is barely playable in this game now(at least against skilled players). Every once in awhile I can win out of pure luck and I consider myself really good. Why did they nerf his level 1 and 2 so bad? They SUCK compared to others.

Raiden's level 1 kills on both sides and is movable. Ratchet's level 1 lasts a good few seconds and is guaranteed to have a kill. Heck even Toro has a decent level 1. And yet it takes ages to build up to Sackboy's even though it's weak as Sir Dan's.

And don't get me started on his level 2. It takes 3/4 of a match to build up to it and it's not even a great super. Again, Raiden's level 2 has 3 guaranteed kills and can move around slashing everyone while Sackboy has to stay still for his.

I don't get it. Superbot says how they're such great fighting experts but they totally screwed up this character. I feel totally useless in battles and everyone just tosses me around like a ragdoll. It literally makes me want to yell at the other people playing because it's so unfair.

Anyone else with Sackboy as their main and is frustrated? I can't be the only one.		2012-12-12 05:12:00

His move sets are my favorite though. Not really into the other characters.		2012-12-12 05:19:00

I'm not into most of the other characters either . The recent changes to sackboy make things harder, but it's nothing a little more practice can't take care of, I think. And the additional difficulty only makes winning more fulfilling .2012-12-12 05:33:00

I really have confused feeling for this patch. On the positive side, they fixed the noine so much I can now play online, and that makes me really, really

On the negative side, I've been playing only with Sackboy, and I agree with every single letter, word, comma, etc. They totally screwed him. I'll have to totally master him if I want him to be usable. Anyway, I'm pretty sure they'll fix him a little bit in the next patch, right now he is slightly too bad.		2012-12-12 13:27:00

This is what they usually do when a character is clearly overpowered in a fighting game. They send them from strongest to weakest. I'd imagine they'll make him a bit more powerful and balanced once they have some more battle data.2012-12-12 13:50:00

I've been learning to use Spike, and I know he's not the best, but I like his moves quite a lot. Also, his controls are very intuitive to use.2012-12-15 01:38:00

Aye, his level one can be so effective that there's little incentive to build up to a level two, or three. Good timing can easily achieve multiple eliminations. His level two is pretty good though with Clank able to create those giant bubbles.		2012-12-15 10:47:00

I was playing as him couple days ago. some (insert idiot word here) says that I "stole his combo". You know square up and triangle up? I wish I've told him that everyone can do it.		2012-12-17 02:07:00

I guess they haven't played the combo tutorials. Which are a great idea for a fighting game!
I'm particularly fond of using Ratchet's up grab/launch to set up his up triangle then charge up triangle for when they hit the ground.
Don't tend to use his circle moves much though, mostly square and triangle ones.		2012-12-17 12:30:00

Eight Days till I finally get this game... Huh...

So, from what I understand, the leaderboards reset each month... is that right?		2012-12-17 17:36:00

Seems to be the way of it, although I've only played a few dozen games online myself so not 100% sure how they work it.		2012-12-17 18:13:00

So... you guys want to hold a tournament? AFter I get the game, of course... one mroe week... Though it IS coming tomorrow, and my mom won't be home when it comes... <_> Nah, I'll be a good evil warlord.

Anyway, tournament? We could, uh, have sign ups. And stuff. I could potentially offer up a ten dollar amazon gift card for the prize... once I get enough points on that rewards site, of course. Anyway, we could hold either a single or double elimination tournament, OR have something with "points". I'm thinking having Free 4 All matches, where your position in the match determines how many points you get (1 place = 3, 2nd place = 2, 3rd = 1, 4th = 0), and you accumulate them over a period of time or soemthing. I unno if this game allows you to record stuff, and we can't very well have a judge in each match, so we'd have to rely on the honor system where all four people need to be honest about their score. Considering it'd be their word against three others and I trust most people here, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

So... anyone? You'd have to wait till I get it, cause I'm special, but yeah. So?		2012-12-18 02:02:00

The tournament will reset the matter of days. I think 15 days left today till it restarts. once it restarts. Your rank will disappear except the character levels.

Cirlce seems to be more of a strategy. I usually use the grab and throw them out to the bottom of the stage so they will respawn lose even more of the energy.		2012-12-18 02:29:00

Ooh yeah! I'd be up for a tourney!
The type of tournament should depend on how many entries there are. If it's just a few, a 'round robin' type with points would be good. If there's a lot, elimination would be better.		2012-12-18 13:33:00

I'd love a tourney! I play a pretty good Sly, but I know how much people hate his invisibilty, so I tend not to use it much. Unless someone's using a level 3 of course, or just sometimes out of the blue. And if it WERE a double than that would be cool too. I have a couple people that I could be partners with.
The servers have been pretty bad lately, though during private matches. It always disconnects everyone. Out of the blue.		2012-12-18 14:30:00

I think we should either do a double elimination or a round robin FFA tourney. I don't think this game is suited very well to 1 vs 1. So if we all do an elimination tourney, it'd be 2 vs 2, and if it's a round robin with poitns and stuff it's be a FFA.2012-12-18 14:58:00

You're right, 1 vs 1 doesn't work too well, need more players in a match for the game to really shine. As for verifying results, you can simply take a photo of the results screen at the end if you feel the need.2012-12-18 16:31:00
