PSASBR Beta!

Beta is up now for Vita and PS+ members so figured i would open a discussion thread. Downloading it now!:D

(Just to avoid confusion you don't need PS+ on the vita version i probably should reword that):P

Don"t have PSN+ :( have to waitBlake135

Played it at the egames here in Switzerland, wasn't impressed at all. Not sure wheter or not I should give it another chance with the beta ssince I played a pre-beta build there

Where can I find it? Can't find it on the PS3 or Vita Playstation store!darkspineslayer

Still waiting on those servers.....They really move like lightning.

Woohoo! Finally!

Was able to get into a match, but got disconnected before it finished. First impression, holy **** the characters get tiny on the Vita screen. It's probably okay for most people but I have bad eyesight so that makes it hard for me to see what's happening when the characters are all over the place.

Tried it a while ago and was completely underwhelmed I can't be the only one right?

Characters and especially Text are too small, doing the Tutorial had my putting the screen to my face to try and read the text, hopefully they fix those issues but I doubt it:?

Really it's pretty underwhelming. Combat feels terrible i didn't like any of the characters and the stages just weren't that interesting.

It plays exactly like Super Smash Bros, but not nearly as fun. Why is their no way to see the score while the match is going on and no idea how much health you have? It's dumb.darkspineslayer

Smash bros inspired, One of my most anticipated games! I really like it so far. I had NO lag what so ever online! game played so smooth. This is the kind of game Sony was missing.

Personally I think they should have said **** it and copied Super Smash, It is hard to be different in a Smash Bros type game, it's like complaining there is shooting in FPS's, clearly they tried something different but to me...it just doesn't feel that great. It IS BOT's First game and Sony's first into the Smash EM Up Genre so hopefully they make a better one next time, for now meh..ill pick it up but not until a decent price drop probably..$25-$35 or something (AUS dollars)

Played a few matches. As someone that despises Smash Bros, I despise this too. Hate it. Just like Smash Bros, it's way too chaotic for me. I understand the four players fighting at once and the generally chaotic fast gameplay is meant for the "party" atmosphere, but to me that's just counter productive to what I want out of a fighting game. I can't get enjoyment out of this kind of fighting game. I like my fighters to be about 1 on 1 gameplay, be at a more reasonable pace and be something I can sink my teeth in to. If people like this sort of fighter then fair doos, but I'll stick to my more traditional fighting games. Good roster though.

I cant find it in psn UK !!!!

This game is freakin sweet.

Final Thoughts about the Game. Characters are too small on the Vita's screen, I do wear contacts so my vision is not the best so ill factor in that. Character Supermoves to me feel pretty badly unbalanced, for example why does Kratos's Level 3 Special Allow for multiple kills on people allowing him to rack up about 6 kills while Prappa's level 3 Supermove Kills eveything on screen and thats it, while Kratos's requires alittle skill to get Kills it however is not bloody hard to execute it well, some characters have pretty spamable moves too.

Game feels unbalanced around *Who can spam the best Special* this often feels like im gimped for playing a certain character that perhaps holds a special place in my heart.

Overall while I have had fun with the Beta it feels like a downloadable game that shouldn't be full priced, will pick it up for my Vita when I see a [rice drop or two.

I tried it out a bit this morning, and right now my feelings mirror blake135's. The game seems kind of unbalanced - mainly, it seems like Kratos is really OP and I'm finding it difficult to get close to anyone using him. I might also just not be very good at it. I played the tutorial once and played three online matches, one of which resulted in a disconnection.

I didn't think the characters are too small, and I also wear contacts, though I have spent years playing handheld games so maybe I'm just used to it. I do sometimes find myself losing track of where my character is at on the screen, mainly whenever other people are playing as the same character as me.

I think the beta is also a little disappointing in terms of game modes, and the way everything is laid out is kind of confusing. The only Solo mode is the tutorial, so you can't play through a regular offline game against computer opponents. The online multiplayer is listed under Tournament mode.

I guess it's forgiveable that you only have access to a few characters, though now I'm curious about whether there will be any surprise unlockable characters available in the full game. I haven't even tried playing as anyone except Parappa, Fat Princess and Sly, so I might try the others out yet. Maybe my next choice will be Kratos, since he pretty much kills everything.

Not sure if I will be buying this game or not, but the novelty of bringing all of these classic PS characters together in one game is still enticing. Right now my brains are telling me that this is not going to be a game worth paying full price for, and to wait until it comes down in price some.

I've played a bit more of the beta now and I'm kinda warming to this game....surprisingly fun. I've got used to the pace and everyones movesets. It's not an insane and hard to follow the action as I initially thought. I hardly ever lose a game I play now. I always pick a random character and I've won my last 8 or so games in a row. My favourite character is Sweet Tooth. Maybe the main thing I hate about Smash Bros is the knocking your opponent out of the stage mechanic. I quite like the super kill system in this game. It's interesting and not as unbalanced as you would think. I'm still not getting this game, but it's worth mentioning I am enjoying what I'm playing now. Who knows, maybe somewhere down the line it will be free on PS Plus. I'd like that.

After playing it some more and giving it a chance i have to agree with the posters above me^. I feel like the character imbalance could be a big issue considering the SPECIAL moves are how you net kills. I played against a Radec who hit level 3 and racked up kills while during the same match a loko got his and only got 4.

I felt the same way in regards to the specials until I realized how each character should be played. I've been maining Radec and I can tell you if you're just trying to get his sub-par 3rd special instead of using his more effective 1st special, that's also easy to get, you're going to have a bad time. I can imagine it's like that with other characters. Also, Kratos's first two specials are hard to hit so it makes up for it with his third. Spend more time with it and you'll see.

Radec and kratos seem really cheap compared to the other characters in the beta but let's hope as the full character section comes into play things get straightened out. Some how I doubt it though.Ghost120x

Haha god im one of those Toxic players that sometimes plays Radec:P, hes got Insane Supermoves with his Triangle Longe Range move being overpowered as hell, along with a Decent Forward Square Move that pushes them back so you can continue. I *Assume* Characters will be adjusted near the games release and after with patches.

I don't know if all of us were brainwashed overnight or something, but I played the game some more this morning and found myself enjoying it a bit more.

I think I like Radec and Parappa the best right now, since I'm doing okay with them.

At least for me, anyway. It's somewhere between a conventional fighter and SSB in terms of complexity and accessibility.

i tried it when the beta invites went out, i personally didn't like it

After thet beta, I must say that I was impressed. The game does feel like SSB inspiered, but it's is it's own thing. I like the fact that there isn't a health meter and supers are how you can knock people out. This way the game feels more skilled that way.

I've decided that I really like Parappa, since he is small and agile and really kind of appeals to my playstyle. I also really just like his personality in general.

I actually had fun dealing with a Redec player up close as Parappa earlier, that was fun. XD I'm actually not bad with Redec up close, though I usually like to gain distance again as soon as I'm able. If you're fighting Kratos up close as Redec, you're at a pretty big loss.

Don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I notice that a lot of times I will select a character, and then when the match begins I'm automatically Kratos even though I didn't want to be. Thinking it's a glitch, and hopefully it doesn't happen in the actual game. I think it happens to other people since when it happened earlier everyone else was also Kratos.

My favorite is Sly Cooper. i like the volume of his attacks his specials are pretty good(his level one is easy kills). Also enjoy fighting Radec's it's annoying when they spam but once you get in close they act like they have no idea how to play.

I havent played it, there seems to be a massive U-turn on the quality of the game.
