I Plus the Hades level was awesome. Patapon army taking down Hades made my day

I love the music transition in that level.. all menacing and then bam Patapons start singing: its great haha

DLC may be priced at $3. Thuogh right now it is unknown whether this is an entire DLC package (2 characters) or the price of every DLC item.

If the former, than bargain!, if the latter than a good price too considering each character DLC gets everything the original characters get (rivalry, 3 costumes, full voice work etc)

Quick update on Kat and Emmett

TLDR:
Kat is about fast combos and rushing characters (think like Raiden)
Emmett is about stance management (like Toro) and ranges between short and long range.

KAT

- Mainly a rushdown character, specializes in mobility. She probably has the best mobility of all the cast due to the different ways in which she can get around.
- Her square attacks are her usual kick attacks.
- Triangles are "gravity" themed moves, including her slide and gravity kicks!
- Circle is "other" stuff, including gravity pull/push moves.
- She's a combo character! I like to compare her to a simpler Dante in terms of her combo ability. She has simple combos that build a decent amount of AP and more advanced combos that allow her to AP burst.
- She has a really cool move with neutral Circle. She summons 3 pieces of random debris around her that she can hurl at opponents. The hurling has no startup, but she is extremely vulnerable while summoning. This move unlocks her advanced combos, as you can throw debris between attacks. For any of you MvC2 / COTA players, think Spiral's swords.
- Her level 2 super is sick. It's kind of like a reverse Sir Daniel level 2, except she fires downwards instead of upwards. She also has a bit of control over when and where she fires the stalagmites.

EMMETT

- The point of Emmett is to bring his build and battle style to PASBR. He can utilize different weapon loadouts which he summons with Triangle.
- He can summon a turret to fire at opponents for extra AP. The turret is destructible, though.
- He can also summon a Rift Extractor that generates AP, similar to PaRappa's boombox.
- His default weapon loadout is a standard rifle. He also uses a pistol in this loadout.
- For close range battles, his Shotgun loadout is best. Fires quick, 30 AP per hit, and you can fire in multiple directions.
- Long range battles are best fought with the Rocket Launcher loadout. The rockets don't travel super fast, but they're aimable and will travel the entire length of the screen.
- Different loadouts will also have different grenades and mines to use.
- His square attacks are melee based attacks that don't change. They're a bit limited, but rightfully so considering his other tools.
- His level 1 super will change depending on which loadout you have, effectively giving him 5 supers total.
- His level 3 is a transform super similar to Sweet Tooth. He jumps in his Hawk and goes to town! The Hawk has a machine gun, aerial mines, and melee attacks. What's interesting is that Circle will activate Flight Mode in which the Hawk flies off the screen and goes for a quick bombing run.
- Flight Mode will immediately end his level 3. Why wouldn't you try to get some kills first before activating Flight Mode, you ask?! Well, the amount of "bombing" that the Hawk does will depend on how many kills you've gotten so far. So, if you've already scored 3 kills with the Hawk's other moves, the bombing run won't be as effective as it would have been if you activated at only 1 or 2 kill

Our development and support on All-Stars is nearly wrapped, but due to lag time for localization and testing, etc., the last of our work won't see its release for several more weeks. From then on out, further support will be handled by Sony's Santa Monica Studio.

We've got All-Stars you haven't seen yet. Further details coming in March

Wow. The update on the Vita version is 800mb. Well, Uncharted will be deleted soon, so no real loss

Completed Kat's arcade mode 3 times now. Haven't touched Emmet as yet.
This girl is fun to play with, plus she's pretty powerful! I especially love that the gravity slide can be used to evade or attack. Also, it's great that you can keep debris ready to fling at people at any time (cheap shots to add to combos):D

Still can't seem to connect to any games online though :'(
Edit: Got into 2 matches after AGES of waiting. Was really smooth, and no connections dropped But still, it takes forever to find a match :/

I think there are just not enough SA players which is why the connection is taking forever. This was happening to me until the game launched in Japan.



Zeus and Isaac for PSBR.

Ok official launch vids:

What are the chances we will get a GOTYE, where they release the game again with all the dlc on the disc?? Cause that I will get!!!
