This was something I was waiting to say but I wanted to wait. From the new info just posted, I can tell this game will not do very well. Why do you ask. Well.....
This is a game ender right here and can ruin the game's chances of success. Canceling has not helped games. In fact, as it has become more prominent in fighting games, their sales have gone down. Sales have been bad for a while.
Sony Smash Brothers, if it wants to rival Smash, needs to learn from Smash. It needs to find out why Smash was a success. Instead, they are looking at other fighting games which have all done poorly. Instead of trying to find a man who will rival Sakurai, they find people with "fighting game experience." As such, it will have fighting games sales rather than Smash Brothers sales. The most offensive part is this.
I believe they did take some tips from the ssb, there just putting there own spin to it. People where complaining it was to much LIKE smash this is the first time I seen the complete opposite. This is truly a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
News Flash, there is NO Battle Royale community. There hasn't been a game out. Communities are made from games coming out. I wouldn't had said there was a Kid Icarus community before the game even came out. For all you know, no one will want to play Battle Royale, let alone discuss it on message boards. This shows that they don't understand their game and don't know how to make it a success.
let me leave this here: http://community.us.playstation.com/community/games/fighting-general/playstation_all_stars_battle_royale?view=discussionsit's fairly active and I consider this a community.
ON SD:If Sudden Death is so defensive and bombs will drops and there is no way to tell if you will win or not, why don't you just try and kill him. You only need to hit him once.
