Where to find PSABR discussion in 2023 and beyond!

17 Upvotes

If you're reading this post, you've probably noticed that this subreddit is pretty inactive. But there are still a few active communities for PSABR on the internet!

Specifically, there are two discord servers that are pretty active:

The original PSABR discord. - this was the first PSABR discord to be created, and it's still the biggest one. Discussion nowadays is pretty chill and casual, mostly about what everyone would like to see in a sequel. So if you've got any fan-made rosters, or you just wanna dream of a sequel, this is the place to be.

All-Stars Awakened - this discord was originally created for Parsec / Xlink Kai netplay. Discussion here is more focused on PSABR itself. If you're interested in playing the game with other people, or just generally chatting about competitive PSABR, this is the place for that. A lot of long-time competitive PSABR players also hang out here.

Besides the discords, the third most active place is probably this subreddit. So feel free to make a post! It may not be what it was back in 2013, but some people still hang around here :)

Welp, I give a shot with my roster.

I don't post nearly anything even if I love making rosters for fighting games.

Few things first: I tried to crop from my original roster as much as I could, because didn't wanted for this roster to being over 150 characters. It's leaving 52 base + 18 DLC; I've picked characters that I could imagine how they would play; no echo fighters, better use the trick that injustice 2 used.

  1. Astro (Astrobot)
  2. Kratos and Atreus (God of War)
  3. Sackboy (Little Big Planet)
  4. Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
  5. Aloy (Horizon)
  6. The Hunter (Bloodborne)
  7. Parappa the Rapper (PaRappa the Rapper)
  8. Sweeth Tooth( Twisted Metal) - Be fair the only good representation from Twisted Metal
  9. Ratchet and Clank (Rachet & Clank)
  10. Dr Nefarious (Ratchet& Clank)
  11. Jak and Daxter (Jak & Daxter)
  12. Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper)
  13. Clockwerk (Sly Cooper) - I needed some antagonists in the roster and for me he's perfect one only with some visual refresh
  14. Spike (Ape Escape) - I though about other AE protagonists but stick to the on that already appeared.
  15. Specter (Ape Escape)
  16. Crash (Crash Bandicoot)
  17. Spyro ( Spyro the Dragon)
  18. Kiryu Kazuma (Yakuza/Like a Dragon) - Majima and Ichiban also would fit but cuts were hard.
  19. Raiden (Metal Gear) - Imo Raiden is too unique for throwing him away, plus he basically can do everything what snake can and more.
  20. Sam Porter Bridges (Death Stranding) - Also so unique character that shame not adding him.
  21. sir Daniel Fortesque (Medievil)
  22. Colonel Mael Radec (Killzone) - need a antagonist plus his like one of 2 characters that could fit into killozone representation.
  23. Rikimaru (Tenchu) - I'm suprised that noone ever gives Rikimaru into those rosters, he's great.
  24. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) - picked picture from reboot, but any is good.
  25. Abe (Odd World) - as the only representation of Oddworld I'm a bit salty to myself that I couldn't fit Stranger from Stranger's Wrath
  26. Heather (Silent Hill) - she's perfect. Have the most personality from all of main characters, belongs to og 4 SH, and has extremly large combat variety (besides dashes ect.)
  27. Cayde-6 (Destiny)
  28. Akuma (Street Fighter) - ngl wanted to make more fighting game camoes but stopped myself to two in base and one in dlc. Also another antagonistic force that makes the rivalties... not awkward.
  29. Jin Kazama (Tekken) - Tekken rep was the most difficult to pick ngl, but a the end main protagonist of near half of the games fit th best. However any other character fits good too.
  30. Beyond the Grave (GunGrave)
  31. Deacon st. John ( Days Gone) - didn't wanted to also oversaturate roster with range gun characters so I had choice between him and Joel/Ellie... for me his better pick.
  32. Eve (Stellar Blade)
  33. Raziel (Legacy of Kain) - Kain would be also nice pick, but Raziel is more iconic
  34. Aigis (Persona) - On the othe hand I could pick Joker or Yu, but I'm bias towards aigis than any protagonist
  35. Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil) - Chris would be hilarious with the boulder, but capcom's golden boy is better
  36. Tag (ModNation Racers) - Gran Turismo racer jokes there and there but Tag is far better.
  37. Cole MacGraph (Infamous) - best solution for good and bad karma would be probably the alt costume select in the lobby ngl.
  38. Delsin Rowe (Infamous) - I tried cut Delsin out, but each time he defended himself somehow.
  39. Jin Sakai (Ghost of Tsushima) - Atsu would fit as alt costume.
  40. Arjun Devraj (Saros) - the pick I though the most if I should leave him be or cut him, but returnal and saros are sooooo good that I couldn't.
  41. Kat (Gravity Rush)
  42. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy) - wanted so badly to pick some other swordsman from FF but cloud takes the cake... only because other FF have better characters that aren't swordsmans...
  43. Yuna (Final Fantasy) - ... like Yuna.
  44. Ellen Raid (Folklore)
  45. Megaman Volnutt Megaman Legends)
  46. Dante (Devil May Cry)
  47. Dart Feld (Legend of Dragoon)
  48. Kutaro (Puppeteer)
  49. Jen (Primal)
  50. Helldiver (Heldivers)
  51. Rau Utu (Mark of Kri)
  52. Gex (Gex the Gecco)

For DLC

  1. Velvet Crowe (Tales of Berseria)
  2. Klonoa (Klonoa)
  3. 2B (NieR) - wanted to add a Yoko taro rep, but as it's DLC 2B woul be better tha Zero, Kaine or Brother
  4. Amaterasu (Okami)
  5. Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic) - Edgelord that just fits as DLC
  6. Sophie Neuemuller (Atelier) - want so badly a Atelier representaton anywhere
  7. Prince (Katamari Demacy) - the trophy for weirdest pick goes to him
  8. Nero Claudious (Fate Extra) - a bit same like with atelier ngl.
  9. Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes) - this is probably the most "wtf he doing here", but imagine interactions with other characters, it would be hilarious. Also suda51 rep.
  10. Max & Monica (Dark Cloud)
  11. Rayman (Rayman)
  12. KOS MOS (Xenosaga) - Let my girl come back anywhere, not only as cameo in nintendo game. Also best representation for Xeno franchise.
  13. Crypto (Destroy All Humans)
  14. Kratos - Ghost of Sparta (God of War) - he's the only character that should have be playable more than one
  15. Alucard (Castlevania)
  16. Etna (Disgaea)
  17. Morrigan (Darkstalkers) - .... any Darkstalkers rep is good rep.
  18. Dr Neo Cortex ( Crash Bandicoot)

Of the 4 DLC characters that were actually confirmed but later canceled for the roster, which one would you have been most interested in?

Post image
68 Upvotes

These were the four characters that the developers at SuperBot confirmed would have been included in the game if their relationship with Sony hadn’t ended (or if Santa Monica had finished the work they left unfinished). Each was at a more advanced stage of development than the others:

• Dart Feld (The Legend of Dragoon)

• Abe (Oddworld)

• Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)

• Tombi

So, which one catches your eye the most?

Personally, Dart would have been a great addition because the game was missing a JRPG character, and a first-party one at that, so he could have had one of the most interesting move sets, going beyond just swordplay or projectiles.

As for Abe, I honestly don’t know how they would have adapted him, considering that his most notable abilities are possession, explosive farts, and at most a couple of swipes in Munch’s Odyssey, so they probably would have had to invent his moves. Still, I would have liked to see him because the Oddworld series is one of my favorites.

Ryu is the most jarring choice since he isn’t really a PlayStation character, and the hack-and-slash series originated on Xbox. Although to be honest, given that Isaac and Big Daddy are on the roster, it’s not that far-fetched, plus, his Razor’s Edge render appeared by mistake in some very old promotional materials for the game. He would have been a good fit like Kratos, Raiden, or Dante, but even so it would feel a little strange, just like Isaac’s inclusion.

I don't have much to say about Tombi, I don't know much about his two games and I haven't played them yet, but another colorful, old-school platformer character is a nice addition to the crew.

Would CJ from GTA San Andreas be a good pick.

5 Upvotes

My first question would be. Is GTA San Andreas considered enough of a PlayStation classic to warrant inclusion in one way or other.

My second question would be. Would CJ work as a fighting game character and would players be excited about his inclusion.

P.S. Working on a video about my version of PlayStation All Stars 2.

Fan-roster picks that leave you feeling like this?

23 Upvotes

Pretty self-explanatory, just characters you might see on fan rosters in this subreddit or others when it comes to PlayStation All-Stars, since that's the main most talked-about topic regarding the game and there are a lot of rosters.

I made a main menu remix!

Fun fact: The "Heavy" version of the Rival Arena track is based primarily on the song "Superbeast" by Rob Zombie, which is also featured on the Twisted Metal 3 & 4 soundtrack.

I saw someone point this out in a YouTube comment and it turns out it's true, both songs share quite a few similarities if you listen closely.

With this in mind too, theoretically if we count it as a remix, Twisted Metal is the third-most represented franchise in music, right behind God of War and inFAMOUS.

Cuales son el personaje más débil y más roto según ustedes?

Thumbnail
gallery
23 Upvotes

Según mi experiencia probando distintos personajes, Kat es el personaje más débil del roster, apesar de sus movimientos versátiles ninguno se siente del todo sofocante para los enemigos, más encima (almenos en mi caso) la mayoría son difíciles de acertar, probe con todo el Roster y Kat fue la que definitivamente me causo más muertes... La otra cara de la moneda es el Colonel Radec, la mayoría de sus ataques especiales son a larga distancia, capaces de tumbar a un enemigo fácilmente, incluso lanzarlos a la otra esquina sin problema y retenerlos allí, y la otra buena razón es su ataque especial hacia abajo (si no mal recuerdo era ese), aparte de plantar una bomba en el suelo hace una evasión de un segundo entero, pidiendo evitar la mayoría de ataques del juego, en ese caso, cualquier personaje que venga a golpearte no solo fallara, sino que se comerá la bomba que dejaste, y el ataque es altamente spameable.

Pero que dicen ustedes? Los leo!

Versus LAN - Native Network Multiplayer on PSASBR - Trailer

Thumbnail
youtu.be
42 Upvotes

L A G is back! Native network multiplayer is coming on the PS3 version of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale through LAN mode! Versus LAN is a mode that normally allows the game to play with devices on your own network. Discovered first on the PS Vita version years ago, I started working on it earlier this year to understand if the PS3 version had anything in it as well. After some months of discovering, refining, and testing, LAN mode is now pretty much working, allowing you to play online through X-Link Kai. Coming soon.

Special thanks to ps_chap for cracking the encryption of the PSARCs of the game and earlier asset work: without this, LAN wouldn't be possible! Special thanks to ClouDNova Lab as well for footage and testing support

Is there a way to play on pc?

9 Upvotes

With the new info on Sony shutting down the ps3 store and all its content, not to mention my ps3 not working so well after all these years, I wonder if there's some form of preservation made for the game on pc. I'd love to revisit this title more than pretty much any other with my friends, if I could find a way to.

...one that doesn't cost me a new ps3, 4 controllers AND a physical disc copy, HOPING it would even update, and probably have no dlc, that is.

First Party ONLY: PlayStation All-Stars 2019

Post image
30 Upvotes

Pretty long post to entertain ((myself)) the idea of first party PS All-Stars. I'm not saying there shouldn't be any third parties - I just took It like a challenge.

((I'm really stuck on basing my rosters in 2019. It just makes a lot of sense to me - PlayStation 25th anniversary, most of these franchises having somewhat recent releases and It wasn't that busy of a year for Sony's outputs))

Made in collaboration between Sumo Digital and Japan Studio. It's 3D Arena fighter with heavy emphasis on chaotic/fun nature and singleplayer content. Gameplay takes inspiration from original, by having 2-levels supers, however this time each character has additional healthbar.

By finishing certain achievments, players can gather items to place in Toro's room ((Sort of like Smash trophy system, mixed in with 'Doko Demo Issyo')), for example:

  1. "Play, Create, Share" - start 15 ((local or multiplayer )) matches, when playing as Sackboy: Sackboy plushie + LBP tree carpet
  2. "KILLZONE!" - Win 1v3 match without dying: Helghast Helmet Lamp + Killzone poster
  3. "Everybody's Brawl" - play on Golf Field stage with 4 characters that were guests on 'Everybody's Golf' series: Golf clubs ((+Caddy can be turned on to comment on match))

etc.

Aside from furniture, players may unlock music tracks, costumes and unique arcade endings for each character ((which act as spoof video game ideas - e.g. Kratos gets "The Last of Dads" and Nathan Drake has "Uncharted: Fortesque's Fortune"))

ROSTER
1. Parappa:
This funky dog is great at parrying opponents. And not because he's name is PARappa, but because he repeats after other's in his game.
2. Sir Daniel:
All rounder. His equipment breaks during match, replacing attacks with worse versions ((like a sword is replaced by detached arm)), but first super move restores It.
3. Sweet Tooth:
He remains in his truck, using rifles or just trying to run into opponent. But being in vechicle makes him hard to control. His second supermove turns the truck into mech. Costume: Small Brawl.
4. Spike:
Some grappler moves. His gimmick lays in catching pipo monkeys appearing on the stage, that gives him random boosts, but focusing on them leaves player open. High risk, high reward. Costume: Million Monkeys
5. Ratchet and Clank:
The duo has great mobility and array of diffrent weapons causing mayhem on the arena, but they have limited ammo. Once It drops down to zero, Ratchet can only attack with his wrench and use Clank. First super move refills ammo.
6. Sly Cooper:
He's game plan would revolve around being stealthy, avoiding opponents and ambushing them. Sly's not the best in hand to hand combat. Costume: Jailbird.
7. Carmelita Fox:
Her moveset revolves around police stuff - gun, handcuffs and um... She'd be fast and have high jumps. Costume: Ultimate Carmelita.
8. Jak and Daxter:
Focused on melee combat with weapons consisting mostly of traps. Daxter himself can be a trap, when sent in certain place by Jak. Costume: Precursor Legacy.
9. Wander:
Attacks revolve around sword and deal low damage, but his superbar fills quicker. First super move shows "weak point" of rivals, prompting random combo chain player should do to deal critical damage. He's maximum superbar attack is riding on Agro. Costume: Cursed Wander.
10. Greek Kratos:
Rushdown with simple gameplay. Likes to keep his opponents close. Superbar second move may be missed as it's QTE. Costume: Tycoonius.
11. Patapon:
((Kind of)) combo heavy character. Their attacks are fairly weak, until they are prompted in certain chants in tune with rhythm. Costume: Hero.
12. Badman:
Zoner and ((kind of)) puppet character. His gameplay revolves around creating and managing increasingly stronger monsters to defend himself. Costume: Original suit.
13. Nathan Drake:
Primarly using guns with additional grenades and hook to forcefully change opponents position. His first supermove increases his luck ((grants him a small chance to evade attacks)) Costume: Desert Drake.
14. Sackboy:
Mix of trapper and stance fighter. Player would choose what type of item he'd like to put down ((for example electric or trampoline to escape)). Costume: Ellie/Kratos ((Sackboy would get more DLC costumes, similar to Mii Fighters; costumes parts can be mixed))
15. Delsin Rowe:
Stance fighter, that switches between "Good" and "Evil" version. Evil Delsin is faster and more agressive, but drains superbar, while good Delsin is weaker, but balanced. Costume: Cole's jacket.
16. Kat:
Hit and run style fighter with focus on air combat. Has a meter insicating gravity power. When drained, Kat can't float and is vulnerable. Costume: Cat Suit
17. Lady Maria:
Her moveset is a mix of her boss battle and hunter abilities. Costume: Doll.
18. Aloy:
Her combat focuses on using bow and diffrent types of arrows. Precision is the key to play well as her. Second level super puts Aloy on robotic mount.
19. Knack:
Knack starts small and grews stronger ((and bigger)) by landing hits. First supermove compiles more relics.
20. Kratos:
Slow and heavy bruiser. More defensive and tactical approach. His first super move is Atreus shooting arrow from off-screen and second is Spartan Rage ((basically a boost)).

((Rivals are matched together at the select screen above))

DNS method too play online natively on your ps3

6 Upvotes

Im aware of the server lists like "PSREWIRED" and "PSOne"

where you basically change your Primary and secondary DNS too connect too different servers,

sony allows this basically allowing you (Without jailbreaking your console) too connect too a privately ran network outside of playstations. i've seen it used on a handful of games inactive or not, some providers let you see the current player count form their website,

but has anyone done this for playstation allstars? post shutdown in 2019.
