Does Sony have popular characters? Would the cars from their popular racing series be in the game?

I watched it.

Apart from Sackboy and that child with white eyes they are all generic 'tough guy' characters, nothing interesting at all.

They could all be the same person wearing different costumes, no imagination what so ever.

 

Because every character in SSB is just so different and looks unique:

 

Fox = Falco = Wolf

Ness = Lucas

Ike = Marth

Kirby = MetaKnight

Link = Toon Link

DK = Diddy

hell, even Mario = Luigi

Okay, your point i am going to have to strike down rather vigorously

A: Asstronaut's point was in regards to how many of these characters from different franchises look interchangeable. You countered by equating characters from the same franchise in all instances.

B: Kirby and Meta-Knight look dissimilar, act dissimilar, and play very differently. This point can also be applied to the contrast between Marth and Ike and DK and Diddy.

"Asstronaut's point was in regards to how many of these characters from different franchises look interchangeable"

if that truly was his point then he never had a point in the first place

maybe for a couple franchises like killzone and resistance that may be done because characters from those franchises are soldiers but beyond them would you say cole from infamous can be confused with say sackboy from lbp? or that nariko from heavenly sword can be confused with rachet? i wouldn't expect so...

then again i can't really blame him as that ad is not a good representation of sony's first party lineup, then again i don't think it was supposed to be in the first place
