PlayStation's "Smash Bros"

All-Stars Battle Royale was a cash-grab to promote other games, but does Sony / PlayStation have what it takes (a good cast) to make a game of this caliber work?

    no, they don't. only Nintendo and maybe MAYBE Capcom and Konami + Hudson can. i don't recognize 90% of these characters and i'm quite old (22 yo), the few recognizable characters don't suit this kind of game because they're realistic looking

    meanwhile Smash Bros only has iconic big hitters that everyone knows and loves: Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, Link, Zelda, Samus, Falcon, Peach, Fox, Kirby, D.K., Marth, Pit, Ness, etc

      ideally characters like Drake and Aloy would look like their Fortnite versions in a game like this

      a 3rd party character like Lara would be a must in a game like this one too

      This. They don’t have enough. The only one who can rival Smash characters in terms of being iconic is Kratos. Everyone else doesn’t have the iconic appeal.

      what the frick, tendie? Capcom and Konami / Hudson MOST DEFINITELY can, SEGA / FATlus and Square-Enix arguably could as well

      pretty much no one in the west knew about the generic anime swordsmen from Fire Emblem before Melee, even Samus is called Metroid by a lot of normies, assuming they can even recognize her

        Fire Emblem was niche 10 years ago, not now. Same with Earthbound, which is now considered a cult classic as it has been the inspiration for a huge amount of games in both the rpg and jrpg scenes.

    I don't give a shit about most of this roster. They don't have nearly as iconic as most of nintendo's roster. The only ones here that could give a shit about is sly cooper and maybe jak and daxter as a deep cut.

      >Fat princess
      >Two different versions of Cole
      >DmC Dino
      >A random big daddy that would make about as much sense as Minecraft Steve

      To sum it up, this:
      I have zero faith they would actually make good picks considering the stupid shit we got last time. The only cool idea they had was the hybrid stages but the soulless UI and menus and shit roster and DLC was laughable.

          I've said this in a past thread, I'll say it again: I feel like Nariko was included because Sony was lacking a "Samus Aran" until Aloy.

        Fat Princess is one of the best selling titles on the PS3 digital store. Say what you will about the rest, but she earns her spot on the roster for pioneering the idea of the PSOnline being a viable market.

    they're fricked on trying to make a real smashlike with iconic characters because a lot of their more iconic characters are third parties they not only don't have the rights to but some of them about to be absorbed by fricking microsoft like fricking crash and spyro, in a acquisition sony is currently fighting tooth and nail to block. its just never going to happen.
    fricking smash already got a lot of the shit they could bank on too like goddamn cloud and sora.

    Like everyone else is saying, most of the characters and franchises people would associate heavily with PS aren't even owned by them.
    >Crash Bandicoot
    >Metal Gear
    >Final Fantasy
    >Legend of Dragoon
    There are maybe 8 characters they could squeeze out before they run out and start resorting to 3rd parties. Even if they did reach that deep you'd have a roster full of Ice Climber tier deep cuts that would just make you sad that practically all of the IPs show are fricking dead. At least a majority of the series that appeared in SSBU got SOMETHING of cultural relevance within the past few year since with maybe the exception of ice climbers. Sweet Tooth's entire genre is dead for example and most of the shit in PSASBR are now fossils that are never coming back and it's only been maybe one and a half console gens.

    Sony's characters are not iconic enough for a game like this. Or to be more precise, the Sony playerbase is too divided.

    Nintendo fans mostly all play the same games. They all know Mario, Link, Pikachu, DK, Kirby...

    Sony on the other hand means different things to different people.

    Platform fighters won't sell well unless it's smash due to the fanbase, and care for it's gameplay.

    They have the numbers, but most of them would be literal whos to the current crowd. People can warm up to them like the more niche Nintendo picks like marth or ness when melee launched but it will be tough

    Sony would do a better job if ps stars 2 was some kind of shameless crossover game where they just throw everyone in some rpg or themepark minigame adventure. That way they don't have to worry about rosters, movesets or balance and can make something that appeals to a bigger crowd without looking like a shitty smash ripoff

    Sony Smash would need a LOT of 3rd party slots to work.

    >Crash
    >Spyro
    >Lara Croft
    >Dante
    >Jill Valentine
    >Squall or Zack (since Cloud is in Smash)
    >Big Boss or Liquid (since Solid is in Smash)
    >Sofia
    Are unironically more iconic "PlayStation" reps than most of Sony's own characters.
