I did not buy it. I already had this for the Wii.

Its funny how people compare it to Smash Brothers and then dont, saying its own complete game.

People need to make up their minds. It wasnt a horrible game by any means but hopefully they can make a much better sequel with loads of content on Ps4.

"Its funny how people compare it to Smash Brothers and then dont, saying its own complete game. "

The only funny thing is how quickly people lump together two contrasting opinions.

Some people think the game is a carbon copy of Super Smash Bros, because the HUD is somewhat similar, the concept is exactly the same (though cross over fighter is FAR from original, nor did it even start with SSB) and a lot of the concepts mirror what was seen there. Another group of people act like making it specials to kill people, lack of life / HP and unlockables makes it completely different.

In either case, you're basically saying people disagree and you think that is funny because you assume the same people contradict themselves.

@Admiralvic That's basically what he said... It's funny how people say one thing and then the other, or lump the two together. Instead of blaming harkins for doing it, it's exactly what he said and what you're doing. Confused? I almost am too.

[Harkins1721]

@nan0 hahaha that made me laugh. Thank you!

[Misaka_x_Touma]

"saying its own complete game."

missing DLC, Content Removed, Lack of support, numerous patches, few online glitch such as teleporting and Marketing.

Yeah sure is a complete game.

[Darkfist]

too bad online is unplayable.

[Veneno]

Don't know why u get disagrees. Its true. Its full of bugs. But i still love the game.

[Snookies12]

It is NOT like Smash Bros. I love Smash Bros. don't get me wrong, but you obviously haven't played this if you consider it the same. It's quite different in terms of mechanics.

[princejb134]

I bought this game and in my opinion smash bros has a greater fun factor
I played this game for about 3 weeks before it started collecting dust while I still play smash till this day

[Veneno]

It plays nothing like smash, but superbot made a huge mistake in making the HuD and other elements look like they ripped off Smash.

And that is completely on Superbot. If they really wanted to differentiate themselves then why did they make it look like Smash?

[Agheil]

^ -_- funny

[XisThatKid]

I love this game it is a great game I know very few people that played it and didn't actually like in same was. Spent days playin on high levels online. I hope further support for this game is in order. I def feel it needs a sequel done right. Hope so because I think I'm done with Smash Bros franchise.

[fsfsxii]

What does Seth Killian has to do with Sony??

[Lionalliance]

He works for them now.

[Thirty3Three]

He's 'been' working for SSM even before PSASBR.

[fsfsxii]

Oh, my bad, didn't know that. Thanks

[Darkfist]

lol

[WeAreLegion]

Poor interviewer. I don't think English is his first language. Still a pretty good interview though. :)

[GenericNameHere]

It felt awkward, but not too bad.

[nevin1]

He may have been nervous.

[tanookisuit]

Haha, yeah I definitely noticed the awkwardness. It was like Seth didn't know if he should speak or...

[TheFallenAngel]

I would of preferred if they would have made the game to compete against street fighter or marvel vs capcom instead of a smash brothers clone. I think it would had been wayyy better.

[ZodTheRipper]

Whaaat? Street Fighter is way too beginner unfriendly for a Mash Up fighting game. The gameplay mechanics were good but the overall concept needs a new approach.

[Williamson]

Way different than smash. Not a bad game just needed few more things to be an even better game, still got to give Superbot credit since this task wasnt an easy one and they did a great job.

[Misaka_x_Touma]

yeah tell me how 4 console manufacturer characters fight each other on a stage, where items spawns, characters get KO in time, team or stock match, most KO wins, double jump, guard then roll, air dodge, both have a stage that scrolls up and stages from their games.

Only differences really is KO mechanics, more combo focus, no rings outs, no pitfall maps, mash up stages, Sony cast and uh spamfest.

Now don't take it the wrong way about All-Stars being complete trash.

Just don't say it different. I have both games and played both this week.

[Starbucks_Fan]

$20 at Gamestop right now. Great deal.

[Veneno]

With a vita version its a a steal.

[RTheRebel]

PSABR was Meh Fun.
Hopefully the sequel will be better, I know it will be better =)

[Biohazard8860]

This interview was very awkward to watch... lol

[Tewi-Inaba]

Thrill

[r21]

A balance patch that fixes projectile spamming would be grand. Also, fix the matchmaking.

[Veneno]

Kratos and Nathan Drake fucked up the whole game.

[Novistador]

Denial is the first step.
