hmmm..

they only confirmed 6 characters..

welp this is it. i hope Sony knows that Nintendo is going to go hard at Battle Royale with their next Smash bros release on Wii U lol

the competition is going to be good for both franchises

i wonder what other 1st party and 3rd party characters are going to be in this

i wonder what modes it is going to have and how the adventure mode will be

and i'm super glad this is going to release this year

I think the only thing I'm particularly unimpressed with is that it's only 4 player. the PS3 can handle 7 controllers, that could have been the ace in the hole to help put this aside from Smash Brothers. 7 player brawls would be AWESOME.

You know what would also be awesome? if the "littlebigplanet" level had its own mini level creator, so when you picked the littlebigplanet level, it would start randomly creating one of the two dozen LBP levels you made ingame. like, just one at random. Or almost as good, make it random from the get-go.

HEalth Bars instead of percentage and being knocked off the edge is good, that's different. They're also utilizing a lot of nifty ideas such as level crossovers and 3 tier super moves. I think this is gonna be the perfect balance between being similar enough to smash brothers to get people interested and draw paralells, but unique enough to make it stand as its own game.

Aside from the Killzone super move. that's got snake written all over it.

day 1!!!! i was hoping for it to play like SSB to the ppl complaining what did yous guys want?? 2d face to face fighter??? boooring

Pretty sure the reasoning behind that was you know, the fact in KZ3 you could actually pilot a jetpack in a FPS perspective, as opposed to 'we have to copy Snake's final smash which is inspired from no game in the MGS series.'

Also I noticed Sly takes photos too, but I suppose they copied Smash Bros since that is also done in a FPS perspective.

Of all the things to copy I was hoping the percentage system would have been one - much better imo. Hopefully they will offer both in options? Actually it's not nearly as useful if you can't even knock people out of the screen anymore.

Okay, just watched it all:

Looks nice, I like the graphics! Clean, colorful and fun!
I like they didn't copy the "% energy bars", as that is Smash Bros "thing", not the 4-player fighting game!

But I disliked how they merged stages together... to me sounded like let's make 50% less stages by using 2 or more games for one stage, TBH

And my speculation for the boss has to be Sephiroth, the forever PS final boss.

Does it? Notice the first person super at 1:07.

i wonder what snakes move would be if he is in this game

he will most likely be in this game

hopefully

supposedly their are specific stages that you can knock people off screen and certain 1's you cant

They didn't really explain the depth of the combat, they announced that fighting game devs and tourney players are working on the game but I don't know, outside of the 3 supers it seems like a standard arcade brawler as opposed to a fighting game.
