Playstation allstars battle royal.

Not really. It's more like Dante's Inferno. You start out neutral and then as you do good deeds or bad deeds you become one or the other. You don't just become good or evil on a whim, it takes time to build up to it. Kinda like karma in Fallout.

[greenraven]

Oh, that. XD

[Prpl_Mage]

But he didn't mean in the game, he meanton the crossover game, adding mario with a power up as opposed to just the regular mario.

Yeah exactly.

Kinda like adding goron tunic link with biggoronsword in the next ssb because he's different from ordinary link. If you want to take that path.

[greenraven]

Oh, my bad. XD

[greenraven]

Does anyone even play as Zelda? Like most people I just R1 and start off as Sheik. XD

[Cerebus]

Natako plays as Zelda and she's actually pretty good, in my opinion.

Zelda is a lot better in Brawl than melee. Shiek was a transgender god in melee with speed and all but is more balanced in brawl.
Also lightning heels on zelda's air moves. Hurt like hell.

[greenraven]

I rarely play anymore, let alone online. Besides all the hardcore purists play Melee, there is no online. XD

[Natako]

As Cerb said, I'm actually pretty decent with Zelda - better than Sheik, to be honest, but I don't play online. All of her smashes are pretty decent, actually, and she can pull off some pretty decent attacks without much charging. Nayru's love is a decent knockback when you have a lot of people around you too...well, more of a knockDOWN, but same thing, really.

[fruckert]

Regarding Cole = Mario Powerups, I think it'll be more like the various re-skins.
Like Ganon/Falcon.
But with different moves.
I guess.

[Prpl_Mage]

Kickin' da thread.

So yeah, this game has been released and all. Did anyone get it?

I played it some bit during my stay in Toronto and it seemed like a good game but not as good as brawl (Yes, I'll compare it to brawl).

My main issue with this game is how you get points.
"You get points by killing your opponents right?"
Why yes, yes you do...
"Then what's the problem?"
The problem is that you can only kill your opponents with your special moves - and by special moves I really mean special moves. There is this R2 button that's used as a special attack button and the special attack is only available when the special bar is filled up. You fill it up by dealing damage to opponents. So it's kinda like a limit break. Let the bar fill up another time when it's on lvl1 and you get lvl2, let it fill up a third time and you're at lvl3.
The moment you get into the hitbox of one of these special moves - you die. Easy as pie. Hit someone with a special attack to kill them. So it's kinda like brawl but you get your final smash by dealing damage to other players. And all final smashes are 1-hit KO (not like Peach or Ice climbers). It's just that there is no Hp or damage stat or anything. You just do attacks to increase your special bar. it's not about dealing damage or something, Dissidia had a simmilar concept only that you racked up damage points with "normal attacks" and then you dealt the accumulated damage with "HP attacks", a system that I personally think works better.

Most of the time the lvl 3 special is kinda lame. Some characters get a cutscene and then everyone on the screen dies. Or you enter some super mode for some time where every attack you land is a kill. It's just that the specials of characters differ so much that it becomes kinda imbalanced, some characters can also freeze or stun you which makes it easier to land these attacks while characters like Dante have to rely on the opponent not moving slightly to the left to avoid it all together.

They are planning on releasing additional characters as DLC. But I have no idea who Kat from Gravity rush is or what the game starhawk is about. Which is kinda the problem with this game, it's trying to introduce new characters and games rather than going on nostalgia as brawl. Sure, naughty dog don't have the rights for crash bandicoot anymore and spyro was sold as well. But y'know, some would've been fun.

The best thing about the game is that when you buy it you can also use it for your PS vita. And the two consoles can play it together. I suppose that's a pretty good thing at least. Don't own a vita myself.

[oooog]

It is by no means a bad game.  It has interesting mechanics at work that are quite entertaining.  However, some 4 years later I am still playing Brawl regularly, and I've already grown bored of the game.  This may be due to Persona 4 however.

It is impossible not to compare this game to Brawl, as this is essentially Sony's Smash Brothers, and that is quite the title to match yourself up to.

But I have no idea who Kat from Gravity rush is or what the game starhawk is about.

A worthwhile game to own if you have a Vita.  There current lineup is quite sparse and this little gem almost makes the system worthwhile.  Next to Persona of course.
