It looks....different. But I don't think it'll live up to the hype to be better than Super Smash Bros though.
Why not? This is basically PS fans' wet dream. I know a lot believe Sony doesn't have many well-known iconic characters, but there is. Before there were Smash, who the hell were Captain Falcon and Ness? What's Marth, Roy, Game & Watch and Ice Climbers doing in Melee? Lucas and Pit in Brawl...who are those?
Those are actually common thoughts from people who are new to Smash. Hell, before Melee,
I didn't know who the hell Zelda or Fox are. The only characters I actually knew were Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Dr.Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu and Mewtwo. (Not surprising since I never really had an N64 or any other Nintendo system before the Gamecube except for a Gameboy color and advance, since I grew up with the PS1)
Playstation has so many iconic and lovable characters to the fans. From Crash, Spyro, Sir Daniel Fortesque, Croc, Blasto, Ape Escape Apes, Sweet Tooth, Parappa to Jak, Daxter, Ratchet, Clank, Kratos, Sly Cooper to Nathan Drake, Sackboy, Cole, Radec, Fat Princess and much much more than that. Hell, put in characters like Snake (already confirmed to be in the game) and Cloud.
I'm looking forward to it just as much as I'm looking forward to the next smash. This game will actually make the next SSB even BETTER if it succeeds, and I'm sure it will. I'm getting a PS3 just for this, because I've been waiting 12 years for this game.
