I know it's unrelated to the game but that shit is so damn hilarious when you think of the multi-tasking person who wrote it ahahahah

For new page because it deserves it

 

[Loudninja]

What we are missing:

1.Atleast 2 characters
2.Around 7 items.
3.What the other 9 stages are combine with.
4.All the rivalries besides Toro and Heihachi
5.The boss character

As long as the Groovitron is either an item or a Ratchet Super I will be happy. Hopefully an item so we can see it more often!

 

[SeanNoonan]

I am extremely happy that Sir Dan Fortesque from MediEvil is here - my character selection for sure.

I'd love to see a new instalment of the MediEvil series

Hmm I do wonder if that last pic of his is jet moto related.

Once Cambridge finish Killzone Vita and Herman has finished having his way with them, maybe we'll get a new one. A lot (lot) of the old guard have gone though. Quite a lot left after the rounds of layoffs, out of frustration or anger.

 

[Sephiroth503]

Or Mr Zurkon!

Hmm I do wonder if that last pic of his is jet moto related.

My guesses for Ratchet will be:

Level 1: One of the transformation weapons.
Level 2: RYNO V - Rockets everywhere in the pointed direction
Level 3: Groovitron - All characters left dancing hopelessly as Ratchet goes in for insta-kills.

That or Giant Clank could be the Level 3 if Groovitron is an item. Bit to similar to Level 3 Sweet Tooth and Kratos though.

I'd say (hope) we'll see things like the Glove of Doom, Mr. Zurkon and the Negotiator as some of his standard attacks.

The hell is your problem?

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

So do we think this is the entire roster? I noticed that there's no Assassin's Creed connection which I thought would be a lock....

Anyone expecting anything other than these characters? I thought they said it would be "more than 20."

I'm betting there's some more. Sir Dan, Sack Boy, and Ratchet alone made for great additions, but there's one more female and / or RPG rep cooking, hopefully.

Yeah I agree is level 3 has to be that!

With these lists in hand, TGL contacted a number of voice actors synonymous with a number of these “leaked” characters, with the hope that could confirm or deny whether or not they contributed their voice to PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale.
We can confirm that at least three voice actors associated with three of the above “leaked” characters have confirmed to us that they have contributed their voice to their character in PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale. We are not at liberty to reveal the identity of the actors in question or the character they voice. One actor confirmed that they had spent at least two sessions recording voice over for the game earlier in the year and was “surprised” by just how much dialogue there actually was for their character in the game.

I am very interested in the story mode.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

this game is coming out in Japan right? where the hell is the Japanese charterers? where is cloud? where is kat? where is lightning?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

this game is coming out in Japan right? where the hell is the Japanese charterers? where is cloud? where is kat? where is lightning?

Toro? Spike? Raiden? Heihachi?

Cloud and Kat would be great but Toro is a character that is relatively unknown in the west - definitely Japan-centric and a great addition to the roster.

English VA.

Sorry but I grew up in a world were Cloud was mute.

I wonder how satisfied people would have been if the roster was just 12-15 of "pure" characters

More satisfied than I am looking at DINO and possibly Lightning.

But you have to acknowledge that there are plenty of first party characters that could have been added, if third parties are only willing to use the game for advertising games that aren't out yet. Can't get Cloud? Well dang, but how about you work on Wander instead of putting in Lightning who makes no sense at all?

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

This was already mentioned, but I definitely believe the picture and the words refer to Full House. Three Aces and two Kings is a Full House.

And this picture...

...appears to correspond with the characters in this picture:

I'm just guessing here, but I think he just wanted to push us in Bob Saget's direction. Once we make the connection to Bob Saget, I believe we can disregard any other character, actor, or actress affiliated with Full House.

I'm not very confident in this, but I keep going back to Sagat from Street Fighter. The important thing to note is that Sagat wasn't in the beta files. I don't think we can connect these hints to any character seen in the beta. Therefore, if this particular character was not found in the beta (Sagat or not), then we can say with absolute certainty that there are more characters than what's been uncovered.

I'm hoping that the case with a lot of third party licensing is that Sony agreed to put characters to help promote upcoming games in and in return get to use the more popular characters later in dlc or a sequel

 

[Boss Man]

Well, that's nice. Let's toss in freaking Sagat from Street Fighter to kick everyone while they're already down. What the hell were they thinking with these third parties? That shit doesn't fit and it's boring as hell.

Man I hope that's not it.

I'm hoping that the case with a lot of third party licensing is that Sony agreed to put characters to help promote upcoming games in and in return get to use the more popular characters later in dlc or a sequel

Me too, but I worry that it's just wishful thinking. I hate that I'm looking forward to DLC. I know one thing, unless it's a super obscure character, I am not buying first party DLC characters. Not when they could have put them on the disc instead of freaking DINO and this other third party promotion crap.

 

[Shadow2222]

I see all these posts saying "hopefully the DLC is better" and "I'm sure they will be DLC."

Am I the only one that does not see any character DLC coming out for this game at all? Costumes are the only thing in my mind that might come as DLC.

Because that would've been horrible. Wander wouldn't fit at all.

They haven't straight up said there will be dlc characters but they have alluded to how there are some characters that they didn't realize were so popular but couln't get them in the game on time

 

[Akainu]

It would totally be like them to throw in 2 versions of the same generic character though.

Be like them? Superbot? What other games have they made that you have them figured out already?

RUN AWAAAAY

Bartender will be awesome!

 

[Boss Man]

Because that would've been horrible. Wander wouldn't fit at all.

But PaRappa does? That's kind of the point of these games.

Still, there are plenty of first party characters left. Kat would be a great fit, if you want to play it that way.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

I just curious. How exactly do we determine whether or not a character fits in this game?

 

[LiquidSolid]

But PaRappa does? That's kind of the point of these games.

Parappa is a silly, fun character that fits the silly theme of the game. Wander is the total opposite, he'd stick out like a sore thumb.

Kat would've been great, I'll agree with that, but then I'm fine with Lightning being added. Assuming she's in, she'd be far from the worst character on the roster (that'd go to DINO).

 

[YoungOne]

Wander would definitely fit this game.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

Can the average fan even think of a 12-attack arsenal for Wander that doesn't involve merely sword swinging? Same goes for that guy in Ico.

 

[TimeEffect]

You are dead wrong. Radec, Big Daddy, and Kratos are the opposite of Parappa too. Wander NEEDS to be in this game behind Cloud, Crash, and Spyro.

 

[Boss Man]

The point wasn't really about Wander, it was about them wasting slots on third party promotion that could have been used, at the very least, on characters that they definitely do have access to. So, Kat. I'll just replace it with Kat. When we talk about stripping the roster down to make it more "pure", it's not totally correct to assume we'd be left with fewer characters. We'd just have less advertisement and more PS characters. That was the point.

I will be upset if they release Kat DLC when they could have put her on the disc instead of DINO.

If they're going to release DLC characters, it should be stuff that they weren't able to get the rights to in time for release (like Crash, Cloud, etc...).

 

[StealthGoblin]

Can the average fan even think of a 12-attack arsenal for Wander that doesn't involve merely sword swinging? Same goes for that guy in Ico.

That's my big concern. The games themselves were subtractive in their design, therefore the characters didn't actually have many attacks. I can think of great supers for them, but their run of the mill attacks? Nothing.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Not unless they make up variations, with the bow included. I'm alright with Wander not making it in, but leaving out an icon like Snake is a no-no.

 

[Metalmurphy]

I haven't even played Gravity Rush (outside of a few minutes with the demo) and I already agree that Kat should be in, you can tell she would just fit in this type of game really well. And it would be a way to represent the Vita part of the "Playstation family". + her unique abilities could make her a very interesting character to play in a fighting game.

You have a very weak imagination. He has a horse, he has a bow,

Spoiler

He gets turned into a dormin

and that could be a super, so could be the summon of colossi. Combine all that and you can get tons of attacks.

 

[StealthGoblin]

DLC needs to be very reasonably priced, especially the characters. If they want a thriving online community with a lot of diverse characters being used, they need the character DLC to be cheap.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

Exactly. Quit wishing for them if you can't even think of anything yourself, it just makes you look like a blind, inconsiderate fanboy. The giants would be wonderful as stage setpieces because there is definitely some artistic value to them.

Jennifer Tate, however, is a very suitable fi*gets shot*

 

[KalBalboa]

Can the average fan even think of a 12-attack arsenal for Wander that doesn't involve merely sword swinging? Same goes for that guy in Ico.

He could always have a cameo. Would these twelve attacks feature three supers?

Sword attacks, a light beam, and use of a bow and arrow could probably give you enough to work with.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

All kidding aside though, Superbot would have to take some liberties if they want him to work and even if he gets functional attacks, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will have something unique among the cast.

Reminds me a bit of Phoenix Wright, many people thought he wouldn't be a good contender in UMvC3, but he has some very unique tools that he can use.

 

[Murrah]

The point wasn't really about Wander, it was about them wasting slots on third party promotion that could have been used, at the very least, on characters that they definitely do have access to.

I can almost guarantee you if Wander or any other Team Ico rep isn't in the game it's not Superbots's fault. Just because they're both Sony owned doesn't give them total access and privelage to another team's games and universe, and Team Ico seems like the type that wouldn't play nice with something like this

Ueda isn't even a full on Sony employee anymore. He'd be the only one to have any sort of creative control in that team and he's gone from the 1st Party payroll.

 

[ReaperXL7]

That's my big concern. The games themselves were subtractive in their design, therefore the characters didn't actually have many attacks. I can think of great supers for them, but their run of the mill attacks? Nothing.

Well Wander would have an easy Level 3 in his

Spoiler

transformation into Dormin

He could also use Agro similar to how fat princess uses the chicken as a mount. A level one could be making a character gain a "glowing weakspot" that Wander exploits to beat them, and level 2 could be sunlight from his sword that could be guided, or static depending on how they want to do it.

For weapons he would of course only have his Sword, and his bow but they could make a good move set from that. It's not as if characters like Wright, or various other characters had full fighting game move sets before they were included into MVC for instance.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

I need to watch some more footage of that holographic virtual reality thingamajig, the brief parts that I saw were hilarious. That thing definitely has potential.

 

[Murrah]

Ueda isn't even a full on Sony employee anymore. He'd be the only one to have any sort of creative control in that team and he's gone from the 1st Party payroll.

I don't think just because Ueda isn't a part of Sony anymore means that Team Ico has turned into Hamsterdam

If it's Sagat I would go absolutely crazy with hype! He is my most favorite SF character. Would be way better than using Ryu for 100th time in a game.

And since this thread has exploded can someone tell me if Cl0ckwork has said anything yet?

 

[StealthGoblin]

Would be nice if they got some weather effects in that could affect battle. Like a rain/windy stage that affected movement. Or platforms made of ice that made it slippier to run on.

I'd settle for some actual dynamic environments at this point.

 

[TimeEffect]

That's my big concern. The games themselves were subtractive in their design, therefore the characters didn't actually have many attacks. I can think of great supers for them, but their run of the mill attacks? Nothing.

1) Bow and arrow
2) Sword lunge
3) Kick
4) Upwards sword attack
5) Charged Push
6) Light, beam attack from sword
7) Sword slash
8) More powerful, over the head Sword smash

Grapple: takes u to the ground and stabs your heart
Grapple 2: Pulls u in and stabs ur heart

I'm sure they can add 6 more, Wander is needed

Actually, let's add ICO's moves

10) Torch throw
11) Horn headbutt
12) AoE Torch slash that spreads fire damage


More than enough, and this is without adding basic attacks that can be considered outside what u see in the game

Super 1: More powerful beam
Super 2: Argo stampede
Super 3: The spoiler posted above
