I don't even know who half the characters are in Playstation All-Stars.

Once the first Smash Bros came out, did you know who each of those characters were? Unlikely.
One of the goals of Playstation All-Stars is to bring more attention to Playstation characters.

Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Fox McCloud and Ness.

It's an easy to recognize roster, except for Europeans who hadn't seen Ness (no game of the Mother/Earthbound series was released in Europe). So...

Busted!!!

Of that list I only knew Mario, Donkey Kong and Pikachu before I signed up to VGC. I never knew Mario had a gay lover, I never had a clue about Legend of Zelda other than the name of the franchise, I'd never heard of Metroid, I only knew of Pikachu from the cartoon series my kids watched, I didn't even know Pokemon was a game for a long time. I still don't know where Captain Falcon, Fox McCloud and Ness come from.

From the PS All-Stars roster published to date only Parapa the Rapper is an unknown to me.
