you wont even notice the UI when playing, it's the menus that needed more flair. Everything outside of gameplay is kinda bland

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Most people dislike the clones in Smash too, I don't see the complaint of two Coles to be a hypocritical statement. Like, pretty much everyone hated on the clones when Smash came out.
I think the main hate is based on the fact that Sucker Punch forced Superbot to use both of them, which makes Evil Cole's inclusion feel a bit like executive meddling as opposed to an annoying way to fill out the roster.
To be fair to Superbot, at least Cole and Evil Cole being clones of each other fits, like a throwback to Ryu and Ken (and likewise the only clone in Smash 64 was Mario and Luigi, who seemed to be a similar throwback)...it's not like Superbot included Tomba and copied Heihachi's moveset, like Nintendo did with Captain Falcon and Ganondorf.
I expect we'll probably see more "clone" characters in future PSA games, though. It's kind of an inevitable tradition for fighting games.

Whew. Been playing for a few hours, time for a break.
First, I have to agree with Man is Oblivious about Toro. I love Toro. After reading the guide, I realize why Omar and the other Superbot employee stayed with Justice Toro. He combos pretty well and his AP build is great. But of course, the strategy guide seems to be written from an FFA and 2 vs 2 point of view, so Torobi the Ninja is for speed and Oni Toro is covering a wide area and groups of enemies. However, Toro's supers are just bad. Toro's level 1 is easy to interrupt and avoid, and there's a trial using Toro where you have to avoid Toro's level 2. If you can avoid it in the dojo of all places, you can avoid it anywhere. It's early to say I know, but I truly feel like Toro won't be viable in 1 on 1, and he probably isn't all that great in 2 on 2 either.
I'm still loving Sackboy though. He's plain awesome in teams, as SlasherMcGirk found it today. =D
But yeah, Superbot...fix that dumb character switching glitch, and please let me use my arcade sticks.

Pretty sure there is a glitch with Drake-- his throws dont extract AP from enemies

I think you can use your arcade stick. There is an option for that in the Control settings

"It seems this has been fixed.
I had to go back into the PS Store, select PSASBR, and where it says "Choose a Version", I had to click on the drop down menu and there was an option to redownload the previous purchase or, more importantly, a second option to add the game back into my cart for free. I added another copy of the game to my cart for free, then proceeded through the checkout. The download files for both Vita and PS3 preorder bonsues were finally included and now show in my Download List."

(Perhaps put this in the OP? This only seems to work for US, not sure about EU-- at least according to the post I found on PS Forums)

You can use it, but when you use Mad Catz and Hori sticks, the button to use supers will not work.

Seriously? Your R2 button is working? I'm using my V3 SA and SFxT Tournament pro and neither of the super buttons are working. But in other games, they're fine.

Your PS3 is probably over-heating. I've had the problem in the past w/ every game I played
Yea I also like how if you use Big-Daddies level 3 on the Twisted Metal level, the cars float in the background. Hehe

Yea I'm really amazed by the Arcade mode... why even bother at that point. It was worth it for Little Sister and Sackboy interactions though, hehe. Also Jak and Daxter making fun of Ratchet
This game should be more balanced like Smash Bros! Because every Smash character was great and equal! Nobody only used MetaKnight/Link/Marth. This game is much more balanced I find
yeah didn't know there was a optional firmware update, working now, thanks.
No because it's only this game that crashes. As well as having black loading screens with nothing to indicate the game is loading. Then the credits list tons of TRC testers.....

I pretty much laughed at the assertation about the presentation. I'm going to have to concede this point. It does leave much to be desired.

qnyone care for some 1v1? gonna practice dante and raiden
Oh man I cannot wait to sink my teeth into this. Didn't get to play any of the beta so my only exposure to this has been a few trailers and GAF.
I won't be able to play for another whole day though. Fuck you New Zealand.
EDIT: Any NZ'ers playing btw? It'd be cool to try and play with locals.

Same here. What the eff. I'll call sony tmrw and see if it's fixed. I guess. And tweet Morgan.
edit: and post on the blog too. I want my damn code.
Pretty nice combo video SuperBot put together.
That Sackboy combo is ridiculously awesome, if completely impractical for use in any real match ever.

Already posted, pretty gnarly combos
Indeed. Most of them are pretty damn creative. Unpractical, but creative.
Shows the possibilities that can be done with some characters like Sly's counter can be used in surprising (to me) ways...
