NeoGAF is flipping tits right now.

But anywho, did Paul strike in a good or bad way? Any rumors put to rest?

..I assume he was being vague again..
 
Remember this clue, “Ace Attorney, Ace Ventura, Ace Hardware, King Koopa, King Kong”, is supposed the be used in connection with this picture.

It obviously sounds like a connection with a full house(AAA KK), but I dont know how it connects to this picture of 3 random dudes. Then again a full house can be any 3 of a kind and pair. AAA KK makes it the nut full house, as in the highest full house possible. I dont know if that has anything to do with it.

edit: he also says this, "To help you out a bit, these two hints go together and only have one specified outcome."

Not a joke...

I bet this is one of those vague hints that could really mean anything.

Bob Saget therefore Olsen Twins therefore Mary Kate and Ashley Sweet 16 the videogame therefore Acclaim Entertainment therefore Mortal Kombat therefore Scorpion confirmed. ;)

The A's could stand for the quality of title

KK stands for the initials of the game itself?
 
Q27) Can you provide us with anything confirmation or denial of the recent, massive “leak”?
A27) I’ll tell you this much. It’s highly ironic that after my meeting with my source, yet before I got a chance to finally type out this Q/A (due to the wrapping up of my project, a martial arts even that I took part in, and so on), that such information was put online.

Basically sounds like he confirms most if not all of the leaked characters are in.
 
Well if the game doesn't even have a roster that celebrates the almost 20 year history of the Playstation brand then what's the point? The most iconic PS characters (Snake, Cloud, Crash, Lara Croft), characters that have always been greatly associated with the PS brand have to be in it.

I think I'm the most upset about the omission of Crash, Spyro and Lara Croft. Nothing about the roster has really been left field though. Just can't wait to try it out.
While Heihachi is the best representative of Tekken, his inclusion makes me wish it was two reps for some franchises. Jin, Nina, Kazuya or Eddy (button mashing!) would have been good too.

So Paul all but confirms the leek, but instead leaves us with hints that may or may not related to characters already revealed.

This is so

Full House > Poker > Casino Royale > James Bond >skyfall advertisement

goddamnit

Q29) Once and for all, can you tell us if James Bond is in the game?
A29) Though James Bond’s presence in the game was one of the very first ideas present, including multiple character skins, advertising it alongside Skyfall which is the new 007 film coming out a few weeks later, etc., immediately following E3 I found out the answer and it’s NO. James Bond is not a character in the game. I know a lot of you will be happy and that others will be sad, but there ya go.

:p

Everything is sounded good

Q26) For franchises that don’t have a character representative in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, might there still be a presence of them?
A26) Yes and hopefully you’re happy with how it’s pulled off.
 
"Q20) Do characters have more than one taunt?
A20) Yes."

Also, it's interesting that rivalries are more than X vs Y. Sounds like they are all tying it together.
And even more interesting is not who, but how the boss fight is. Maybe the PS3 "freezes", which you then have to restart, and upon reboot, something cool happens. Didn't they do that for MGS or something?

So.... Sony issued a statement to IGN: "we dont comment on rumors and speculation"

what a surprise...

For once I wish one of the companies would say something besides that.
Even if it was total nonsense.

All we have to say are Moon Pies will not be in the game.
I mean hell have some fun with it from time to time.

Common guys, Sagat wouldn't make sense at all. lol

Actually thinking about it somemore it does make sense. Sony and Capcom have to promote Street Fighter X Tekken for the Vita, so in order to do that they give us Heihachi, and Sagat.

Notwithstanding that I fail to see any particular association between Call of Duty and Nintendo, what exactly would replacing obscure characters with obscure characters accomplish?

The point is there are a lot of icons of video gaming that have a strong association with PlayStation regardless of if they were owned by Sony. Tomb Raider is a gaming All-Star. There is nothing particularly "All-Star" about Folklore.

SSB is full of iconic and broadly recognizable Nintendo characters. And there are a few obscure ones mixed in. You'd have a point if most of the roster was Ice Climbers calibre characters in terms of renown.

You really think that a person picked at random isn't going to know Kirby or Mario before they know who the hell Jennifer Tate is?

What association does Big Daddy have with playstation other than he was a character in a game on playstation that was originally an Xbox Exclusive?

I'm not arguing that Characters like Cloud, or Snake, or Lara are not more iconic than the characters I listed. My point was that if Sony can not get the third party characters who are iconic to Playstation (Cloud, Snake, Lara, Crash, Spyro)they should not settle for characters from these third parties who have no, or worse recognition just to say "hey we could not get Cloud, so you can settle for Lighting...", or "Hey we know you like Devil May Cry, so we added the Dante that no one seems to like!" Those characters slots should be given to Sony characters if they can't get the more iconic third parties.

I want third parties in the game, I just want the characters that people care about, not whatever scraps third parties were easier to convince to give.

.

Actually with that said a Street Fighter character does make sense.
Though I'd be a little sadden by the addition unless it was Juri (We'd have another female in the game not to mention IMO she's the best character to be added in the franchise)

As for Bioshock
His association is that Sony is trying to make Bioshock feel more like a "playstation" thing. You have the first game released with everything intact. The supposedly in development Vita game. Bioshock Infinite on PS3 comes with Bioshock 1, and also a supposed move peripheral will ship with the game. So a inclusion in Sony's All Star Brawler makes sense.

Someone up high loves them some Bioshock at Playstation HQ.

Hmmm I might be thinking about this too hard...but let me share my insight.

Prior to this weekend, I knew “almost 12″ and now I’ve learned of the final several that remain. If you put two and two together, you’ll be able to know for yourself, that the game has more than a dozen stages. And though I won’t reveal a new stage since I already did so with a character, I’ll share with you another one of my hints that never got put up

“Ace Attorney, Ace Ventura, Ace Hardware, King Koopa, King Kong”

To help you out a bit, these two hints go together and only have one specified outcome.

Almost 12...is 13? Final Several? More than a DOZEN (12) Greater than 12 is 13??? Ace Attorney, Ace Ventura, Ace Hardware, King Koopa, King Kong are probably examples of acronyms or abbreviations? ("two hints" pertaining to two letters in an acronym or abbreviation?)

One specified outcome...something that is FINAL? a FINAL fantasy?????

None. That's why big question marks were raised when he was included.

I'm not arguing that Characters like Cloud, or Snake, or Lara are not more iconic than the characters I listed. My point was that if Sony can not get the third party characters who are iconic to Playstation (Cloud, Snake, Lara, Crash, Spyro)they should not settle for characters from these third parties who have no, or worse recognition just to say "hey we could not get Cloud, so you can settle for Lighting...", or "Hey we know you like Devil May Cry, so we added the Dante that no one seems to like!" Those characters slots should be given to Sony characters if they can't get the more iconic third parties.

Your original point which I disputed was that "most people" would know that cast of obscure characters, not your overarching point that better third party characters should have been included.

But on further inspection you seem to be saying that none of these third parties should have been included and instead it's better to include characters no one even knows than for example Lightning. Which is silly, imo.

Raiden is a better inclusion than the more obscure characters in your list. Lightning is too.

Even Big Daddy. Because even though he raises question marks with regard to his association with PlayStation, at least he doesn't beg the question "Who the hell is that?"

Absolutely. Sony shouldn't settle for scraps like Lightning or Raiden. Either get the icons that the majority are screaming out for, or bust.

Fucking Dino, man. Thanks a lot Capcom. In spite of that spot of nasty business, this game has caught my interest big time. I love Super Smash Bros. and I'm so totally on board for a Playstation party brawler in that tradition. The stages look great. For the most part the character roster revealed thus far is amazing.
