"PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale": Sony's version of Super Smash Bros.

There is. Its called meter management.

Also, found a way to combo into level 1 with PaRappa on 75% of the cast, hype.

This, pretty much. I felt the same way early on as well, but you kind of decide early on in the match whether or not you're going for lvl 3s or just multiple lvl 1s and lvl 2s anyway.

I think he means having another lv 1 or lv 2.

The more I think about it, the more flaws there are to this game. You kind of always know what your opponent is trying to do based on their meter. You pretty much telegraph your next move. I would like to play it to see if I'm right, but, alas, I don't have a PS3.

Geez, it took 3 minutes for someone to die.

when two people know what theyre doing it can be so boring to watch sometimes

 

[Silly Kyle]

yay i got all the trophies for this game. talk about ez mode

 

[Z'zgashi]

Usually its quite the opposite. People who know what theyre doing generally hit confirm into a super, or into big meter gain towards said super, so unlike in games where people DONT know what theyre doing, you wont see people whiffing supers wasting their meter and making it last even longer. Regardless though, in last stock situations, it does get quite defensive, sometimes going 10ish seconds before another hit depending on the MU.

Black Belt with Jak, Nariko, and Drake.

Easy.

I got a ps3 and this game for Christmas, decided to pick up raiden
Add me if you want:

[GunmasterLombardi]

I'm really tired of the abundance of raiden, sly, and kratos.

 

[OBT]

I'm really tired of the abundance of raiden, sly, and kratos.

Well the abundance of raiden, sly and kratos is tired of you >:{o

So those are the characters that everyone is using?

 

[Z'zgashi]

Not really, theres actually a pretty good spread online and I see pretty much every character. The only characters I personally dont see too often are like Heihachi, Dan, Fat Princess, Sweet Tooth, and Radec.

 

[OBT]

Funny, in all my online matches I ran into quite a few radec and Dan players

 

[unknownforce]

Does anyone know if there is an online community or a real ladder ranking for this game yet?

I don't think so, we should make one :o

 

[unknownforce]

Haha, I agree! I'd like to get some online tournaments going or something.

 

[Matador]

There are a few forums around... Here's the link to one that I frequent.

But yeah, I'd be down for an online tourney. I'm assuming 1v1?

 

[OBT]

Yeah, maybe a 1v1 tourney/ladder, sounds fun :D

 

[unknownforce]

Thanks Matador! I'm going to try playing some of the people there in 1on1's and see how I do. If any of you guys want to 1v1 feel free to add me (kfaust829). I'm curious to see who is the best among us thus far

I wouldn't mind hosting an online tournament if there is enough interest.

 

[OBT]

So YOU'RE kfaust!!

Coolio

I get home at 10 EST if anyone is up for some 1v1's

Also I'd love to enter a tournament

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

You can add me if you want. Just tell me you're from here or else I'll assume you're random.

Add me if you want, I'm DeadestOfPools.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Id be down for a 1v1 tournament, and if no one else is willing to host id be happy too, I have experience running online brawl tournaments back when that was big, and also was the main TO for smash in my state for about 2 or so years back when I was more active.

 

[Biz_R_0]

I'd be all for it.

That's awesome. I've run real life tournaments before but not online ones, so you'd probably be the best person for the job.

I suggest we mention the tournament on the Allstars battle forum. I played against one player there who was quite good.

 

[Krynxe]

I'm down!

 

[Biz_R_0]

edit: nevermind, I found out that neutral circle on Big Daddy's level 2 kills everything.

 

[OBT]

Some guy messaged me "ur gay" because I did a raiden infinite on him, lulz ensued

 

[Krynxe]

"infinite" you say?

Spoiler

i doubt this

 

[Biz_R_0]

Is it an actual infinite or does he just not know how to react?

 

[Z'zgashi]

There are no true infinites in this game due to AP Burst, theres a way to get out of everything, even if it means waiting until the game forces it to end. However, lag CAN make some things a hell of a lot harder to get out of than they should be sometimes.

 

[OBT]

Well, the grab to forward square chain

Thanks to unknown for showing it to me

Guess I shouldn't have said infinite, it was probably just the online lol

 

[Kink-Link5]

I've seen plenty of Radec and some FP, and plenty of Dans.

Not a single Spike or Nariko player yet though.

K Prime said he found a Parappa chaingrab into level 1 super.
Any word on something like that elsewhere?

 

[Z'zgashi]

As a PaRappa main, Im 99% sure none of his standard grabs can ever lead into a super in any way. Now, if youre talking about his mic grab, there is a frame perfect mic regrab combo, that can then combo into level 1 on a few characters (and if you cut out the grab you can combo into level 1 on a whole lot more), but you cant get as much ap from a mic regrab combo as you can from any of his standard 155 ap combos, so why go for a 1 frame regrab that makes landing the kill harder and wont give any more ap than a normal combo?

 

[OBT]

Ok, let's figure out a good day for an online tourney
I'm free most weekends and during the evenings on weekdays

 

[unknownforce]

Weekends would work best for me.

Yes, Raiden has an infinite chaingrab if looped correctly. However, it only works online. In real life someone can get out of it (or so I've been told). In any case, it's going to be removed in the next patch, so I only use it now if someone trash talks lol.

I've gotten matches against a fair number of the players here, but from the sound of it Matador (who I have yet to play) is probably the strongest player. I'd really like to get some matches from you Matador =) You'll most likely beat me, but I'd enjoy the challenge.

 

[Matador]

I doubt I'm the best here, but I'm still down to play. I should be available later tonight. You've added me?

Cool, sounds good. I'm certainly up for a match tonight. I'm Kfaust829. Already added you.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

2v2 has been slick. Real ****.
