but that can make the game unique; what's MK most known for? it's grusome fatalities, what's SF know for? it super over the top super/ultra combos(don't get me wrong...the fandom of the characters plays a huge part in their history) if you take that away what would you have?

why discredit what can make the game stand out, besides like I said before, Sony/Superbot confirmed that their will be more than just the SSB like mode(I remember hearing there was some sort of capture the flag mode...rumor)

First off, I wouldn't say SF is known for over the top Super combos.  Ultra Combos aren't really THAT big of a deal in Street Fighter.  They're a valuable tool in SFIV, but they're not the focus of the game, like they are in Marvel.  Super moves in particular are almost a non factor in SFIV because EX attacks are generally more valuable.

Back on topic.  I'm not really trying to discredit that difference.  It is indeed a major difference that will change how people play, particularly at higher levels (if PSA really generates a competitive community).

I feel like we're going in circles a little bit, but fatalities are just one of many elements that differentiates MK from SF.  If you took fatalities out of the equation, you'd still have very different games.  Some of those relate to the audiovisual package, and some of those revolve around the physics, mechnics, and controls. 

In contrast, if gave PAS percentages and ring outs, you'd have a game that looks, plays, and feels, nearly identically.

It's obviously heavily inspired by SSB.

You're taking a big leap there. I wouldn't say CoD and Battlefield are clones of Wolfenstien. But through constant one-upmanship developers have clearly borrowed ideas from each other. For example Duke 3D was inspired by Doom. Medal of Honor was inspired by Goldeneye 64. Call of Duty was insprired by Medal of Honor. Etc, etc...

However, Playstation All Stars is not borrowing some ideas. Its flat out ripoff of Smash Bros with some tweaks.

Frankly most of us just don't approve of ripping off your competition and this reeks of just that.

Well for starters, the game is like Nintendos in that it involves all mascots (and even some3rd party ones) owned by the corporation and put into one game. That in itself isnt a ripoff but that its a 2D fighting game featuring a similar aesthetic and physics. Also, since many feel a ripoff is inferior to the original, its worth noting that Sonys mascots have nothing on Nintendos, which in itself is gonna cost this game in review points.

But its the differences are so small that not only do little to set it apart but actually wont make the game as fun. No knock backs, not knowing points until the end of the game, and the only way to make a point is to just "grind" your way until you got the energy.

As with all ripoffs, it wont be as successful. The preorders are allready showing it. I am amazed at the polar opposite of internet PS3 fans and real world PS3 fans.

Nintendo did not invent fighting games. Nor did it invent four player fighters. But I cannot think of another fan service fighter before SSB.

Yes, they first had the bright idea of using mascots but doesn't mean should be crowned as kings of the world.

I only remember the You Tube tags acknowledging SSBB.  The press releases, if my memory is correct, skirted around the subject.

If only the physics worked. And a roster of characters that ave been on TV sometime in the last few years would not have hurt either.

The tags is not something they had direct control over.

What exactly did you want them to say?

"Hey look everybody, we're stealing a game that someone else already made and we're calling it our own lulz!!" When was the last time you saw anyone do that?
