You could always brave it and go to Waffle House. Actually don't do that.

It's almost odd that we haven't gotten any news. Like, we can assume Superbot peeps are reading a lot of what we're saying so...Something must be planned. They're probably working on videos or something....hopefully
I feel like Superbot should of done something similar to the "Smash Bros DOJO!!" blog (not sure if you guys remember that), where there was a tiny update about the game pretty much every other day!
It obviously worked for Nintendo & HAL Labs in the long run, since the game sold like crazy, and any significant updates were constantly blogged about in the media... Ohhhhhh Welllllll! lol
Conversation Starter:
What PS+ bonuses do you think Sony will offer relating to PSASBR?
...I'm going to guess avatars + dynamic theme + free timed-exclusive constumes.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Avatars please. I want a Kat avatar so badly
so she better be in the game.

Someone should tell them it started hours ago, and people have already begun playing it.
Another event with nothing new? Not even surprised, which is both good and bad.
Everyone remembers the Dojo. That shit was so good.
Oh man, please no timed-exclusive stuff, as I sure as hell refuse to get PS+!

To be fair, I actually really enjoy the videos that they've put out so far, and they were somewhat active on instagram for awhile too.
But even with a lack of content, they could still post updates such as:
character specific combos, behind the scenes work on game development, level/character/item design concept art, employee interviews about working on the project, high resolution character artwork, unused character costumes, etc. Just ideas.
Double Fine's behind the scenes episodes about DFA (kickstarter) have been incredibly awesome, not to mention the vast content they share on the official forums. That type of thing would of been sweet for this project!

Kick ass, I finally get to try this game!
Totally agree with you. I said that since the game was announced. Dojo was awesome and created a lot of hype for Smash, because even if an item was unveiled there would still be a lot of discussion before it since no one ever knew what was going to appear. It was a truly a great idea...
Oh well.

Having characters from gory M-rated games beat up on, say, Parappa the Rappa feels like a disconnect that won't add any kind of fun to Battle Royale.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - why are you holding your cards so close to your chest Superbot?
My biggest worry is that they're not completely confident in the soon to be finished product. Maybe the other modes just don't cut it, that's why they haven't been showing them off.
I'm pretty much convinced that we're just getting the current roster as is on disc, anything after that will be DLC. This is probably why we're not getting any real megaton third party additions because they (third parties) want to milk it as much as possible as DLC.
I've been focusing on stuff on my Vita because the lack of anything from this game has been absolutely destroying any hype I had left for it. I know some people will say "Oh it's because they're working hard on polish, getting it done!" but still - they can give us something. They have people who do nothing but trailers and videos, why not showcase us the other modes in trailers?
So far we've basically only seen the timed modes... what about the rest of the game? I wholeheartedly agree that they should've done a smaller, steadier trickle of info like the Dojo instead of a few clustered reveals and then absolutely nothing in between/after.
I feel like we're back in the months after the reveal leading up to E3... remember that? Those were depressing times, but they were also hopeful times, because we were still hopeful we'd see icons like Crash and Spyro

Well the trailers are somewhat good but man the way they revealed things just hasn't been very good imo.

er are the servers down?

Yeah just played.
Is it me or is it damn near impossible to generate AP as Parappa?
The main move for it is the Up+Square , uppercut move, do that twice and you have a lvl 1.

I'm afraid guys like Parappa and Fat Princess are going to be very low tiered characters. Parappa's supers do not compare to someone like Heihachi's or Toro's, and his one unique aspect of generating AP is really cut down to the point where it's rather useless. I think a very slight boost in AP to his Boombox AP generator will help him in the final game.
Fat Princess' Super 1 is useful, but super 2 can be dodged, and super 3 is either inconsistent or completely useless, and I'm leaning on completely useless
Parappa's main source of gather AP is comboing the only problem is that since there is no training mode there is no place to effectively come up with combo's. I remember in the old beta I had a perfect combo that I came up with by watching the combo video and trying to mimick it. The problem is I think one of the moves in the combo had it properties changed and now it has a knockback effect.
Fat princess is actually very scary to me right now because her bellyflop has a Gaurd Break and I still have no idea how to counter it. I find myself getting hit with the bellyflop and then the level 1 for a hit confirm often.

Wait for TGS.

yeah...completely agree on all counts.
But that sucks so much because I wanna main Parappa =[
That's a long wait.

God, this sucks. SuperBot is just sending this game out to die by completely and utterly failing to keep up the hype. I know everything we've been told runs counter to this idea, but it really is starting to seem like they've already blown their load on the entire character roster way too early and are not confident enough in anything else about the game to advertise/hype it.
Here's hoping this is just a complete PR breakdown and that they've got lots of amazing announcements/reveals coming up. Maybe October will be a better month. They've got one more entire month to re-ignite the hype even a little bit.
Honestly, I'm surprised Seth Killian is letting this happen... or maybe he doesn't want to, but doesn't have the power to make it not happen. He of all people would know how important pre-release hype is to a game. Then again, I remember Seth always being at the forefront of the disappointment when giant leaks would happen with his Capcom games, like MvC 3 and UMvC 3, so maybe he's advising Superbot on how to completely prevent any further leaks from happening. If that's the case, he's doing a very good job.

They are not sending nay to die,the game has been I every single event on the showfloor,IGN post many vidoes, Gaintbomb did a Walkthough, Seth Killian was on the PS blogcast talking about the game they release a TGS trailer as well.God, this sucks.

The beta is on going as well,the game is more than 50 days away plenty of time to do more things.

Parappa can gain an entire bar with one easy combo:
Circle-->down Square-->up Square x2.
You pull 'em in, trip 'em up, and then knock 'em skyward.

Thx that definitely is useful. I used it just now in a match and got my lvl.1 fairly quick.
Yup that's what I have been using as of late and it has been very useful. It seems as if they lowered the meter that he gained from doing Jump--> Forward Triangle-->Land-->Up Triangle

Will do. It's funny how I'm still learning things with this limited pool of characters. I recently learned Kratos' Down Circle (or is it triangle?) where you parry a move.

Nah I always see fat princess do it's armor break butt stomp stun into that chicken super. If anything that armor break stun is a cheap ass move.

I find it useful not in gaining AP, but in drawing the enemy into good striking range. Once when I was up against a particularly turtley Radec, I just popped a boombox out in the open and intentionally left it alone. He went in for the free AP, and I comboed a bar out of him.
It has more applications than you'd think.
