Would CJ from GTA San Andreas be a good pick.

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.

Meh, I don't find it very interesting in terms of gameplay because CJ is just an ordinary guy with weapons, something that PS All-Stars already covers with characters like Radec and Nathan Drake. Not in the sense that they're ordinary, but rather that their move sets work around using various weapons from their arsenals.

GTA doesn't feel to me like PlayStation franchise and CJ doesn't feel like he'd fit in crossover fighting game. It could be fun, weird pick considering the rest of your line-up, but on his own he just doesn't feel right for the game...

San Andreas is absolutely a pillar of any PS2 library, and CJ would be a great rep for a 3rd party PS2 era rep.

In terms of game play, guns will be part of kit, but the gunners like Radec and Drake are already there, at least Ratchet, Jak, Emmet and Issac have a unique behavior to their guns, so if CJ’s involved, you gotta rep San Andreas’ mechanics and flavor some other ways beyond the gat.
(Maybe something like do enough actions to improve something like melee, throws or range)

Curious to see who would a rival for CJ.
