The thing is Sony had an exclusive that could compete with Smash: J-Stars Victory Vs. I know it's not a Sony title, but it's one of the few mascot-fighters that has characters as recognisable as Smash (the other being MvC), and it was a Sony exclusive already. If handled correctly, it could have been a good contender for the genre. Too bad it was a Japan-only title (I guess getting the license of all the characters in the west was too much of a hassle to Sony and Namco-Bandai).
