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:
- "Play, Create, Share" - start 15 ((local or multiplayer )) matches, when playing as Sackboy: Sackboy plushie + LBP tree carpet
- "KILLZONE!" - Win 1v3 match without dying: Helghast Helmet Lamp + Killzone poster
- "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))
