deleted the beta after 1 round, not going to convince me with those characters.

You couldn't know this before you downloaded the beta?
Well okay then lol

nope, thought it would be fun enough to go ahead and try.
I need to wait for the full roster before I pass judgement.
We already know the full on-disc roster.

to play as them I mean.

Bu but how will you play as all of them in one round, like you did in the beta?
You are not making any sense.
lol, why am I even trying, your intentions seem pretty clear.
Yeah, you can play 2v2 online with another local player.
You can play with 1 other person locally against online opponents.

You can play with 2 people locally against 2 people online in a 2 vs 2 mode. There are a lot of people playing that way with more playing that way tomorrow so finding matches should be very easy.
Is there any reason to ever go for Parappas third special? It is hard enough to build up his second level. You sometimes can miss your level one and still have enough power left to use another. And his second level is also really good. You mostly get your three kills and it is also the maximum you can get with his third level. The developer should nerv his second level attack or change it or the third level attack into a other attack, so that there is a reason for the third level to exist at all.

Not really unless you have a special reason to use your lvl 3 to deny other players lvl 2 perhaps. Might come in handy in full game stock 2vs2 for example, who knows.

Level one is dodgable even against someone using neutral O -> super. Level 2 can be countered with good timing. In high level play level 3 will become a risk free way of getting kills.

I want to see how characters I actually care about play?

Was CC's partner playing as FP? I've played with CC for about 3-4 hours and we had a few really good, close matches without any BS, so one of that might have been you. I always forget to check the other team's user names. If we won, it was most certainly due to him though, he saved my ass plenty of times with his deadly Parappa.
Anyway, CC and i had a similar experience to you and your friend last night. Played for hours, had tons of fun tag teaming opponents and denying people their level 3 supers. There was a team of Kratoses where both tried to save up for a level 3 super, only they never got there because we started laying heavily into them with throws and items after they got past level 2. Surprisingly they didn't even attempt to launch a level 2 after it was clear they weren't going to reach level 3, so the match ended with a perfect score for our team.
While 2vs2 is where it's at in the beta, FFA is still great fun too. Even though i can't hold a candle to the better players here, it's still awesome when i manage to do good, like that time last night against 3 Kratoses:
I don't know, you could still try the other characters to see if they suit your style. Fat Princess is probably the character i'm the least familiar with out of the beta roster, i have never played her game and was just vaguely aware of it being a PSN multiplayer game, but i'm having a riot maining her. To me an appealing playstyle wins out against the history i have with a character. Different strokes for different folks, i suppose.

I really enjoy playing as Sweet Tooth... and winning! Woohoo!
I failed my first Super 3 though, only got a couple of kills even though I was shooting them point blank

A glitch maybe?
Or were they dodging?
Good job though :3

Yep we played both of you guys! Good times.

Press all three attack buttons together for the super move.
Have you played the game yet? You should try it when the beta goes live today. I wasn't sold on the Super only mechanic either. But then I played the game.

Is it possible to turn off the 3rd super animation in the full game? That's gonna get annoying as fuck watching it over and over. I'm sick of Parappa's rap already.
Well, when the full game is going to have 20 characters, and people get better to the point where a level 3 is used more sparingly, I'm sure this issue will be less prevalent.

1 round? Characters? How can you try all 6 characters in one round?

NO WAY!!! That's so awesome because everyone knows they are screwed.
Not to mention a regular lvl 3 lasts much longer than the screen kill ones so the screen killers have got to look awesome.

Well, I for one hope it can be turned off. It's up there with the power shot shit from Mario Tennis.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Yeah, they should have an option for shortened versions, like they did for summons in FFX.

I'm terrible at this. Came second once, but that's it. I've noticed an abundance of people using Kratos online. Played in a few matches with three of them. Swinging blades all over the fucking place. Annoying.
Use the block, it is sometimes easy to forget that option is even available since the gameplay is very offense driven. I use block against Kratos and Radec players a lot to negate some of their attacks.

So earlier I had a REALLY weird error/glitch. Public wifi (not reliable) near my work, on my Vita, I chose Kratos (because I've realized how insanely easy it is to be a dick with him) and when the match started:
1) I was Radec, not Kratos
2) There was only three players
3) At the score screen, there were four players.
Wtf happened?

Looks like you got two fairly common glitches. One that switches your character and one that makes it look like there's 3 players, but there's actually 4.
I don't really know what causes them but they can be annoying.
They have a tournament in LA tomorrow that will have the Final Build. Though I don't expect it to be radically different then the current beta build. They will have level announces tomorrow as well.

Can't jump with the stick? The fuck?
And you throw with R stick? Which means I'm at a disadvantage if I don't play on pad? FFFFFFFF
R1 to pick up items? I guess if I were playing on a pad this wouldn't be a big deal, but . . .
Seriously, why the fuck do I have to push a button to jump?

won my first game online even though i had no idea how to play
lost my second one to a missile spamming radec

I'm not hyping myself up. I'm already satisfied with this current build from the latest beta. I'll mess around and expect huge game changers and find out the only new thing with the final build is a couple of extra taunts and a free plushie for preordering.
