Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale.
So far I've only taken Jak and Sly out for a spin. Forget tutorials, Im'a taking them straight into Arcade Mode and fighting out their movesets in real time!
Jak took awhile to get the hang of his guns, but his Forward+Triangle is a good one to harass opponents with from a distance.
Sly's an interesting one to play - L1 doesn't block/dodge like with other characters (why?), instead it turns him invisible (okay, cool, but still...). To evade attacks with Sly you have to Up+Triangle (smoke bomb teleport) then tap right+left. Sly's forward Circle attack (ground or air alike) has got great range, good for flinching opponents.
Too bad Sly's archer costume is separate DLC. I'm definitely getting that.
And Battle Royale is definitely no Smash Bros. No falling out of the arena, it's all about using your regular attacks to charge AP and setting up your opponent for just the right moment to unleash your one-hit-kill Super Attacks (because they can be dodged or interrupted easily). Once you figure out the range on a character's Supers is when the real fun begins (I got a triple KO using Jak's Level 1 Super).
I see the Dante here is the 'new' DmC Dante, but meh, I don't care. Only DMC games I've played are the first two, no real love or hate for the series.
