Kratos TEAMED with Nariko is even cooler! The God & Goddess of War till death do them part. I'd hate to be stuck in a juggle between the two of them!!
ADD:
Guess I'll just go ahead and put these here ...
I'm pretty sure Clank and Daxter will just be extensions of Ratchet and Jak, respectively (not playable on their own, but there as assists to their associated character).
A couple more videos. One is a rundown of the characters in the beta, the other is a closer look at the moveset of...
Well, we'll see when more videos come out!
Personally, I'm looking forward to trying out Sweet Tooth, Raiden (MGS4), Sackboy, Nariko, and probably Sly! I wasn't too high on Sly at first (having not played any of his games), but he looks FUN to play!
Sly is sneaky (pun, intended!). He can't block, but instead goes invisible when you hold down the block button. So, unless I'm mistaken, he could potentially be invisible for 90% of a match (lol!) outside of times he gets hit/comboed or activates a Lvl3. I believe in the Sly strategy video I...
From what I can tell, you can't so much "stop" someone from getting a Lvl3, but you can very much "slow" them in getting it. It's a matter of using attacks to drain meter from the character, using various stage hazards to the same effect (with careful setups), and generally using your own Lvl1s...
Street Fighter The Movie Broke My Heart
The story of a dev who worked on SF The Movie: The Arcade Game
LInk to thread:

LOTS of behind-the-scenes goodness to be read here!! Good read...
How does that compare to the typical Smash tourney ruleset? I don't follow Smash tourneys enough to really be familiar with the setup.
For now, though, I would kinda think 3 stocks with 5 mins would be better for pacing. You wouldn't want a non-Final tourney match running potentially 20+ mins.
I know. But, unfortunately, DOA3.1 didn't get a fair run in tournament spotlight. So the good that is known about that game is only known to small number of people.
But THIS time, there will be a fair shot of good spotlight hitting DOA, and it is with an iteration that doesn't have ninjas on...
Bass and Tina BOTH good in the same DOA? AND Bayman? AND Jann Lee (hopefully)? AND Christie is not low? A DOA game where ninjas DON'T dominate the tier list?
If you find it boring, then don't play it. lol
Some people happen to like the way the game is designed.
It's possible.
No matter what something is, or how good or entertaining it may be, there will always be someone to hate on it.
People who go out of their way to hate on...
AP, your perspective is completely fine. Though this game is being designed with a more competitive approach than Smash Bros (which was designed for plain casual fun), even I will agree this is not a game for someone looking for "serious" competitive play. This is still mainly a casual game...
