Im surprised how many people don't. Coming into the game on my first match I knew block would be really important, do not want people to get AP from me.
I recently noticed that too. It gives you a nice break to counter.

In regards to making our own website, I think it's a great idea. I usually just use Fanmade Wiki Pages though, but if we can dedicate a good amount of time it'd be wonderful. We already have awesome movesheets
Edit: And yes, block! I've started doing it a lot, and it really intensifies things, especially 1v1. Most dont because there's no health, but you are really losing an opportunity to gain AP yourself and giving enemies a lead.
You can really throw players off with a good block and get your own offensive in there rather nicely, but make sure you're careful, you can still be grappled
Block+roll is also a good way to confuse enemies

lol I use my block button like I'm playing Smash Bros. I can't even begin to tell how many times I've gotten kills because someone went for a move with a high recovery only for me to block and roll and hit the super.

Rolling behind an enemy and sticking them with Sweet Tooth's level 1 is a great feeling.

What Will we call the site? PSABR is such a long name to incorporate lol

How much of a SSB player are u?
Nope, but I'm interested to see that incorporated (thought it'll never happen unless they offer it as an option, which I really think would take the game a long way)

Lol, they use the old move list. :x
Not sure if we need to make our own site, though. Aren't threads filled with info enough already?

Oh, I certainly use throws, and have come across some players that do too.
You need to really use it with high AP players as that's the point.
It's a great way to throw them back from gaining another super level. Got grappled twice, which made getting to super 2 take a bit longer.
I like to use it on enemies to steal their AP, the more they have, the more u gain, but I dislike how AP flies everywhere.
Sly's moves make AP gravitate towards him I think. IMO, using throws should gravitate AP towards you, because a lot of the time it flies around and gets stolen.
My brother's playing now, and he pulled off Sly's Lvl 3 without any glitches. Got 4 kills. I guess he got lucky.
Major fan. Melee is probably my 2nd favorite game of all time.

I guess it depends on how big this game ends up getting. And that depends on Sony's advertising a lot.

Sony? Advertising? PWHAHAHAAHA! We are doing all the work for them!
You know you might get lucky and they might hire you like what they did with the other gaffer.

Not gonna happen, I talk way too much shit about Sony, hahahaha.

Really now. Very happy to hear a lot of SSB fans enjoying this game better than even some SSB titles. A lot are still upset/taunting the game for being a rip off, I wish they could give it a try.

man... Rolling behind someone and doing Sweet Tooth's Lv1 is so good.
I'd be down for contributing to this!

How hard is it to:
-Offer an offline demo
-Promote an open beta
-Create an advertisement with the major brand characters (WITHOUT Kevin Butler)
-Reach out with 3rd party characters and cross promote All Stars with their games (demo of PS:A on every PS3 Bioshock Infinite disc)
-Install said demo onto every newly manufactured PS3 Slim
-Bundle said game into every PS3 Slim for Christmas
-Offer a digital version
-Secure major third party names
-Promote the game in their PSN store/What's New section (which they will at least do)
So many ways they can push this game for some good, good, sales.

I said that just 20 minutes ago. It's a great feeling when you do it.
I hope a lot of the remaining stages are as chaotic as the others. The Hades stage seems a little... bland compared to the others, as much as I like GoW Hades.

I assumed that I just fought your brother playing as Radec.
I think we need stages like that though.

Yeah, I guess we do... especially since some people in the tournament scene don't like a lot of things going on in the back.

I fully expect this to happen before the games release. It's one of those games that you really need to get your hands on to understand how fun it is.
I never won a game on that stage lol
Trevor he made really cool wallpapers when the Vita was released, he was contact by PlayStation on tips to improve UI and now he has a job a Evolution.
Best option

If anyone would be interested in hosting for this, I personally know someone who runs a pretty damn good hosting company who'd be willing to host the site for either free (with ads) or for pretty cheap paid.

Maybe! Can't remember what other people/characters were there, but it was in the Hades stage.

Thats really cool from Sony! Where can I find Trevors wallpapers?

So, I know it hasn't been discussed, but does anybody else want a Collector's Edition? Take fan service to that next level, and offer some cool, historic features that really celebrate PlayStation?
-Steel box case
-A handful of plushies/action figures (something collectible to put in a display)
-Exclusive Alt costumes
-Exclusive Alt Taunts even
-Exclusive avatars for PSN IDs
-Exclusive dynamic themes
-Some sort of art book with a history of the IPs represented from the game
-A cool poster
-Some sort of strategy handbook
For about $100 or so, I'd be down for it.

They confirmed no Collectors edition.

No, nonononono. It definitely shouldn't be in-game content. You can keep all the other stuff.
