I'd put it this way. I would suggest... that if somebody saw a screenshot of both games side by side and weren't knowledgeable on video game mascots they would think it was the same game.

Even the preview videos were done stylistically like the Smash brothers ones, as my girlfriend knew what it was copying before it ever got to gameplay, and likely would of just thought it was smash brothers if I didn't say "Hey look at this new sony game."


There is no doubt in my mind they started out with Smash Brothers as a concept, right down to the art and presentation style, and then said "How can we make this different."

and went from there.


That said... who cares? I mean seriously. Either you HATE smash brothers type games... and then who cares.

Or you LOVE smash brothers type games and there are more smash brothers type games. Awesome.


You know what game I wish would get ripped off more? Pokemon. Someone should make a Indy Pokemon type game for PC. That would rule.

Blatant ripoffs is more or less how we get new Genres.

I mean where would we be right now if nobody ripped off John Carmack?

Or so friggin true, we need more pokemon type games.

why aren't they pushing digimon more? I think the franchise has potential but absolutely no push behind it. and lol can you imagine if sony makes a game like pokemon? Fans who should be happy to see a similar game would go apeshit for years

anywho OT: I'm in the beta and it has a NDA...so I honestly am not sure what I can talk about or not here. The game does not play or feel like smash. Unless you consider all FPS games play the same cuz they shoot or something. Visual wise it's very similar, and the sub genre is definitely the same as smash. But that ends there. If I had to say I think this game uses concepts from games like MK, SF and Dissidia more than smash on a gameplay basis. The three tiers of super brings a whole new dimension of strategy into play as well.

And I have seen some comments about the game 'looking' slower than smash. It isn't. It's slow if you do not know the moves you have yet. This game does not have a charge/dash move. Instead the dashing is done BY certain moves themselves. The game is fast, chaotic and fun. And I need to play the game more but I feel this game has a much bigger move set than smash characters as well. 

oh and one of THE best things about this game? Even as a beta, the online component >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Smash. Other than the occassional hiccup, the online gameplay is smooth as hell. No lag whatsoever.

lol I think I kinda broke the nda here.
