Well, it's not April 1st so maybe there is some credibility to this--unless the dude who wrote this couldn't wait for spring trickery to start and decided that Halloween trickery was just as acceptable.
You do raise an excellent point. I guess, if that's the case, then there may be a lot more third party involvement. I imagine the roster people really want though would be a bit more than Sony will deliver. Although considering it's a modern fighting game, they do have more room for more fighters.OutrageousEmu said:

That's 27 characters with no two characters coming from the same game using just the franchises and properties owned by Sony. Take note that none of these are Final Fantasy characters.
To put that into perspective.
Brawl has 36 characters. If you were to strip Brawl of characters from the same games, you would come up with 17 characters.
...They're both Jak. They can play differently all they want, but the fact that they're still the exact same Jak from the exact same game universe has not changed. Jak fought without a gun before, he can fight without a gun again. Just because he uses one in Jak II and Jak 3 doesn't mean he's incapable of fighting without it. I fail to see why Jak II and Jak 3 can't be an alternate costume to the JaD Jak. Or the Jad Jak can be an alternate costume to the Jak II and Jak version of the character. Whatever the case, all 3 of them are the exact same Jak, regardless that he plays and acts differently in different games. Unless they're gonna be douchemongers and pull that Link/Young Link/Toon Link bullshit where you get three different characters with the exact same combat style with different speeds and strength.OutrageousEmu said:
My doubts about this are pretty big, but that's not going to stop me wanting to see the likes of Welkin putting a few rounds through Kratos.
I vote for Harry Mason and his deadly kick. Nothing escapes the foot of doom.
Just... just don't give him a gun. Or a kid. He'll lose either.

Lots of doubt this will happen (mostly because of the different styles looking really weird), but I would express interest in it. I would be either playing Jak vs Ratchet constantly (so I could settle some nerdy bar bets, maybe throw in Sly too) or I could let out some frustration by using Jak to beat the snot out of Nathan Drake in response of why Jak has yet to make a GOOD appearance since the PS3's launch.
Love that they call this an "original idea"... It sounds like a bad idea to me anyway. SSM doesn't work because of the characters, it works because it's a really tightly designed game with a lot of creativity and ridiculousness. Maybe Sony Smash could do the same thing, but... ripping off another game is a bad start.
Do you forget how to ride a bike because you started driving a car? No. Jak hasn't forgotten how to use his hands because he picked up a gun. I really don't care if they're separate characters or alternate costumes. My point was that they're still the exact same character, regardless of their methods of battle.OutrageousEmu said:
Finally! Only took Marvel Vs Capcom and the other crossovers, Super Smash Brothers for Sony to catch on.
So let's have a look at the possible characters...
Nathan Drake; will be similar to Deadpool with wisecracks I expect, moveset akin to Chris Redfield.
Kratos; I can see being pretty versatile with all his trinkets. It will be interesting to see how gory, if at all, the game will go.
Sackboy; I expect the level building thing will be a theme - a lot of zone control.
Ethan (Heavy Rain); will sit in the corner and cry - increasing the amount of button presses opponents will need to execute combinations. No real power, just prolonging the battle with little weight.
Jak; Maybe a Dark Phoenix alike - with Dark Jak instead of the Phoenix.
Ratchet, Sly Cooper, Cole Mercer. There's actually quite a few characters when I think about it.
EDIT: Looking at other posts above, there's plenty of possibility. I'll wait for something a lot more tangible.

No. I knew what you meant, but the way you were wording it, you were treating them as two separate characters. My argument that they're the exact same character, despite their differences in combat method, is because that was my rationale for choosing to have them as alternate costumes, instead of separate characters altogether.OutrageousEmu said:
