He always had it. It just wasn't as good as it is now. ;D
Yeah great games, we haven't been beaten.
You're pretty good with sackboy though.

Took me at least 6 try with PaRappa. Any tips for Drake v Sly?

is nobody getting the glitch with none of your wins showing up under ranked leaderboards. Just won a match AGAIN and it said "2nd place streak" again.
The Polygon Man boss was kinda disappointing. Barely even fought the dude himself.
Having a lot of fun with the game though. Ratchet & Clank are awesome as expected. Loving Sackboy too, his teleport has saved my ass so much. Trying to learn as my combo character but I keep dropping my combos with her. Ironically, I'm a lot better with Dante.

In air down O is super useful I found. Get him in a corner and spam it
Yeah completely take back what i said, it was a total rage type up againts the cpu raiden, that can perfectly counter attacks without thinking
Also forward-square, square square square tends to catch him more than you'd think, if you time it right you can push him against the wall repeatedly and keep him from going invisible and teleporting around.
If he gets too far away, Down+Circle seems to catch him at least a couple times.
It took me over an hour to beat him. Good luck.
Edit: Also don't even bother trying to go for the level 1, it's practically impossible to hit with. Level 2 or nothing.

Man I'm having WAAAY too much fun with this. Was playing throughout work today on the Vita and when I got home I played with a friend locally. He never played this so it was his first time and we played for a hour or two online and it was a blast.
Now I just beat Nariko's campaign. This game seriously is just too fun. I'm sort of glad they put all their effort into the actual gameplay because it's just almost perfect imo. Characters just light up when you know how to use them.
Man I had a hard time beating Sly this morning but I eventually got him. The barrel kick and the floor drop move is the best way to deal with him. I also use down square and forward square a lot on him.

I'm seriously starting to hate FFA mode.
Like hey, fuck any practice or strategy you've put into your character, because some asshole's just gonna come from behind and interrupt you in the middle of it anyway.
1v1 is easily the most fun I've had with this game, because every time I've died, I knew it was because the other guy got the best of me and not because the screen was a chaotic clusterfuck and I didn't see the guy who killed me. It's just a fucking shame that there's no 1v1 matchmaking.
And I seriously hate how Big Daddy and Sir Dan have such awful supers, but I'm too stubborn to take the easy route and switch to someone with better supers.

Just a note to everyone: If I don't accept your request to join a party, I'm just playing local with my friends. If I can join you, I'll do it 100% of the time 
I'm just going to spend the weekend practicing this game. You guys are going to be lightyears ahead of me by the time the tourny comes around!
Oh, I just remembered: on the subject of the Scrafty Cup, I may not actually be able to participate With my mother in the hospital and my WiFi spazzing out a lot, I may have to relegate myself to judging and making cool promotional videos instead of jumping into the fray. Ah well; I'd probably just drag someone else down.

At Least the don't have a single tiny hitbox like Parappa's special.

FFA mode is just a party mode for me. They should add stock 1v1 ranked and quick match.
I freaking love 1v1 in this game. It's just too fun.
Can't you combo the mic grapple into the level 1?

I might pick this up during christmas sale locally. Which means I have a couple of questions.
1) The DLC is available regardless of region yes? The ones available here are region 3, but I take it that it is similar to Capcom that the DLCs aren't region locked?
2) I take it that the retail purchase is still legible for the "you pay only once"?

I'm still very disappointed at the lack of modes and options, but at least the game is fun to play, (as long as you're playing with people who don't spam square with Kratos and Raiden, haha). A buddy and I spent 20 minutes or so learning how to dodge and parry really well, and we did fine against each other, but that immediately went away as soon as we played somebody else. Handily got our asses kicked in the first match, hah. I really don't care for fighting games outside of something like Smash Brothers, but it's been a lot of fun maining Heihachi and learning all of his moves and combos. Oh, and Kuma is a BEAST of a level 2 super, haha.

It can be dodged but you have to think fast. I think many underestimate Para lvl 1. The fact that it goes thru walls and affects platforms above you can easily take your enemy by surprise.
Have I mentioned that Fat Princess unlockable costume sucks?

Does anyone else constantly get the 0009-0009 error while playing online? It seems to happen to me once after every single match.
Ugh, don't I wish. You can't super right away, so it won't connect unless the other person stands still or tries to jump.

0 errors for me. Some of the old beta bugs are still there like character swap.

So that means Sony might DLC-lock regions - I heard they did that in Uncharted.

Can't help ya there. Best bet is to ask Superbot via twitter or sumthin when DLC is nearly out. I doubt anyone knows the answer yet.

Has anyone seen the Medusa head come in to play yet?
I'm planning on getting the game for Christmas and just had a question about stages. There are no ring-outs, right? That's kind of disappointing. I hoped that even with the AP system that maybe getting thrown out of the ring lost you your AP or something, but maybe that would be too Smash Bros-esque.
Anyway, with no ring-outs, are the stages mainly scenery or do they serve any actual purpose to the on-screen gameplay? The clips I've seen just kind of show it as moving scenery in the background without much actual contribution to the fighting on screen, especially with no ring-outs. Are there any dynamic or interactive stages like in Smash Bros.?

Stages have a big effect on supers, how you use them, how you set yourself up for them.
Stages have drop outs, where you can fall off a stage, and stage hazards, where you lose AP or get stunned so an enemy can KO you. Stage hazards are also patterned in a way that you can set enemies into them, so stages offer a role in how you set up some of your actions. Walls also play a crucial role in combos
Just had my first play session. Three hours or so. And damn... I suck so hard at fighting games. xD Every match (online) I got negative scores. :/
Ah well, better luck tomorrow I hope. Maybe should try someone else other than Nariko and Drake...
But yes, the game is awesome. It's actually meatier then I was expecting to, the single player content that is. So much to unlock, so many levels to gain. This will take a long time!
Zero issues online also, the matchmaking is amazingly fast. No lag either.

Okay awesome.
I'm hoping we get a sequel to this so that maybe in the next one they can incorporate a real story mode with actual cutscenes and boss battles and maybe some sort of mode (like in Smash Bros.) where you can view all the characters and their history with PlayStation, museum-style. That'd be cool.

Dear god, Sackboy AI on Level 4. Ultimate troll. ALWAYS has the fan up, and it acts as a shield!
Me too. This first iteration needed to nail down the core combat and mechanics and I feel that it did. The presentation definitely needs a major step up for a next iteration, and I hope the success SB finds with this game helps them blow the next one out of the park

since you're asking for the 'you only pay once' thing, I assume you have Vita? than just get the game in the same region with your vita account to avoid any dlc problem. I don't know if ps3 version dlc is region locked or not, but currently there's no way for Vita to use dlc from other region
actually, I think the cross buy come in a download code, so you may not even be able to dowlnoad vita version at all if you have the game in different region

I'm pretty sure you can use different regions in Vita - it's not region locked. You just have to reset the system when switching accounts.

OMG I'm hooked, just got such a clutch win on ranked FFA. Uncharted map, clown x2, Good and bad Cole (I was evil). The whole fight I was wiffing my super 2's. We got the 10 second warning and I just decided to fire my level one on a guy that was next to me, he ended up hitting the two other people for a 3 kill. Feels Good!
So many good moments like this. When is the tournament going on, and is it too late to join?

You have to make good use of that shock pad and his cake sticky. I played against a awesome sackboy and he schooled me even though I knew his tricks. The shock pad was annoying and the cake kept getting in the way. All while I was trying to get to him or shoot at him he was taking cover racking up shots of his own. He made me look so stupid.

I just started playing this with my brother for the first time. Never played the demo or anything. We are getting our asses handed to us but what a great game. We are having a absolute blast. I've tried good cole, nariko, and got wrecked. They seem great but require some actual know how. Settled on Big Daddy and this big bastard is awesome. I had no idea the levels were so cool either!!

Man the Franzea stage is so beautiful until the ugly MGS mix. The crossover does nothing for me.
Yup. Such a waste of a mash-up.
And the Metal gear icons suck too. They're all just Raiden posing against a white background. What the hell?
