Title Fight on Paul Gale Network

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale idea article on Paul Gale Network

It’s been a good 10 days since Paul Gale Network provided you with an update on Title Fight, but do know that I have been working behind the scenes to try and do something special for you…and now’s the time to share it.  I contacted my source with the following proposal:

“What do you think about PaulGaleNetwork.com having a continuously updating article that isn’t used as a gateway for me to share information with my readers, but rather one that’d be a designated place on the web where the legions of fans that are so passionate about Title Fight can share their thoughts…ranging from concerns about the game, to voices of thank you’s, to real suggestions for the development team for Sony first party characters that HAVE to make it/recommended 3rd party characters, stages, items, music, and any other possible idea imaginable.”

I went on further with the pitch, saying that there are so many creative ideas that get shared online in the form of comment sections attached to articles and message board forums, but it’d be too difficult for a developer/publisher to sift through everything and pick the best of the bunch (especially with there being thousands of websites to gather information from).  This idea of mine was an effort to really try and attach the development team of Title Fight with the people that will be the cause of the game’s success: YOU.

My source was all aboard with the idea, but I also contacted both Sony and SuperBot Entertainment’s PR team to get their “ok” and thus have this idea be officially sanctioned.  Though at the time of this writing, SBE did not get back, Sony did and was optimistic.  So that being said, here’s how it will work.

From now on, if you have any idea about a character roster that you would like to see in the game, made up of either all Sony first party characters or with the inclusion of a few key 3rd party characters, share it here.  If you’ve got ideas of stages that you feel could truly work and have conceptualized every last detail, share it here.  If there’s a list of songs, items, ideas for a story mode, whole movesets for the fighters, different titles for the game to don, release date recommendations, etc…share it here.

What I will do in return is once a week, submit all new entries that Paul Gale Network receives from all of you, to Sony and/or SuperBot Entertainment (with my specific source receiving everything).  I can’t guarantee a response from them back to you, but at least you’ll know that everything you have to share, even if it’s a “thanks for making this game finally happen”, will make its way to someone that’ll actually read it.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you all have to say .  Also, this story will have a permanent spot in the upper left hand corner of PGN’s main page, alongside the currently featured article, Street Fighter Legends: Ryu (my fan made video project for Capcom).  Thank you all!

  1. Hey Paul, thanks for all the info on Title Fight! And thank you Superbot- I’ve been waiting about 10 years for this game, and as a result I have a few ideas. One idea is for a sackboy moveset- I personally think he should use a paintinator as his main attack, a jetpack for his recovery, a grabinator, and possibly a self destruct move that deals a ton of damage to opponents nearby? And of course, sackboy wouldn’t be sackboy without the slaps for close range. Thanks for listening, can’t wait to hear more about this game!

  2. YES THANK YOU, i have a great idea for a moveset for sackboy, his neutral triangle move (assuming triangle is the button used for special moves) can be the popit cursor, where he whips the popit cursor at the player in front of him and once he does this, he automatically gets their costume and abilities (like kirby), and the best part is once he gets rid of that specific costume and hits another person with this attack, it changes his neutral square to once he does it, it brings in the popit menu for him to choose to pick the costume section or just the cursor again, if he picks the costume section he can choose from all the costumes he gained by using this move.

    his side triangle is paintinator shoot, this move can be charged, basically he just shoots one shot from the paintinator, but if charged, than he shoots several shots from it that cause a good amount of damage.

    his up triangle is jetpack, where he shoots upward with hus jetpack and he can control the direction he goes (like diddy kong).

    his down triangle is grappling hook slam where he shoots out his grappling hook in front of him and if it latches on to someone he then slams them once on each side of him and lets go.

    his neutral square is a regular punch, his side square is a slap and can be charged for stronger knockback, his down square is he flings his fist on both sides of himself, this can be charged also, his up square is an uppercut, this can be charged too.

    his level 1 super is he sends 4 sackbots to run in different directions and explode once in contact with player, his level 2 super is he sends 10 sackbots in different directions and these ones are a bit bigger than the other ones, they explode bigger aswell once in contact with player, his level 3 super is that he brings out his popit and swings in at a medium distance, if it contacts player than they are hit to the little big planet where sackboy quickly creates walls and a roof to trap the player and then puts several emmiters on the top of the roof that then start dropping several bombs on the players which causes alot of damage and sends the players flying

  3. his side triangle is paintinator shoot, this move can be charged, basically he just shoots one shot from the paintinator, but if charged, than he shoots several shots from it that cause a good amount of damage.

  4. The creatiornater can be a item. shoot lightning,fire or balls that push you of the stage. Sackboy can be like kirbby by copying people and ratchet and clank should be a sebrate character. clank and ratchet can have moves sets for all4one.

  5. his down triangle is grappling hook slam where he shoots out his grappling hook in front of him and if it latches on to someone he then slams them once on each side of him and lets go.
    his neutral square is a regular punch, his side square is a slap and can be charged for stronger knockback, his down square is he flings his fist on both sides of himself, this can be charged also, his up square is an uppercut, this can be charged too.

  6. his level 1 super is he sends 4 sackbots to run in different directions and explode once in contact with player, his level 2 super is he sends 10 sackbots in different directions and these ones are a bit bigger than the other ones, they explode bigger aswell once in contact with player, his level 3 super is that he brings out his popit and swings in at a medium distance, if it contacts player than they are hit to the little big planet where sackboy quickly creates walls and a roof to trap the player and then puts several emmiters on the top of the roof that then start dropping several bombs on the players which causes alot of damage and sends the players flying.

  7. Dante from devil may cry.
    very speedy character with a different weapon depending on what attack button you used (guns, sword, or whip.)
    needs to have his white hair and regular clothing items from Devil may cry the anime.
    dante would generally be a weaker character other than his special moves in which he would take out his big sword and do a slower but very power full slash (one bar) he could also do a very weak but fast gun shot the stunned the opponent giving him a better chance of hitting with the power sword slash (two bars). finally he could do a powerful upslash knocking the opponent into the air then shoots them multiple times with his dual pistols then usues his whip to grab and slam the oppenent into the ground, then he jumps out of the screen and you have to press 5 button combinations to summon 2-6 demons that run across the screen and urt the opponent but are easily dodged (three bars). paul if i have missed an important fact just say and i will add it.

  8. his level 3 super is he hits a person with his popit cursor and the fly to LBP and sackboy creates a wall and roof around them where he puts emmiters that drop bombs on players.

  9. im not sure wat the different attack buttons (square,triangle,circle) represent (basic moves, special moves) since there are usually 2 buttons to do basic and special moves in smash bros, thats why i don`t have circle moves for sackboy

  10. im also gonna do movesets for spyro (legend of spyro version) and scaler cause i want them in the game as well, but i didnt think of any movesets for them yet

  11. I don’t have a real character Wish list but I really want to see Crash bandicoot and Spyro the dragon make it in terms of 3rd party.

    Both of them have a history with Sony on the original PSX and were basically hailed as Mascots for the PSX that rivaled Platformer legends Mario and Sonic.

    It would be great if you guys could bring them back to one last Sony title, like old friends meeting again.

  12. Alright here is my Character roster

    First Party:
    Jak and Daxter (Jak and Daxter)
    Sweet Tooth(Twisted Metal)
    Kratos(God Of War)
    Sly Cooper(Sly Cooper)
    Nathan Drake(Uncharted)
    Sackboy(LittleBigPlanet)
    Colonel Mael Radec(Killzone)
    Fat Princess(Fat Princess)
    PaRappa the Rapper(PaRappa the Rapper)
    Ratchet & Clank(Ratchet & Clank)
    Cole MacGrath(Infamous)
    Spike(Ape Escape)
    Sir Daniel Fortesque(MediEvil)
    Wander(Shadow of the Colossus)
    Chimera(Resistance)
    Nariko(Heavenly Sword)
    Zeus(God of War) – A good Villain rep
    Carmelita Fox (Sly Cooper) A good female character
    Captain Qwark(Ratchet & Clank)
    Ico( Ico)

    20 characters. 3 females, 3 villains, a mix between child friendly characters(Sly, Jak,Spike Sack boy) and dark characters(Kratos, Cole). Also a mix between PS1 era(Ape Escape, Medievil,Twisted Metal), PS2 era(Sly Cooper, God of War, Jak) and PS3(Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Infamous)

    Third Party – Here is a list a third party characters that I want in Title fight but I want only 2 or 3 characters listed because I want this game to have a Sony feeling.

    Crash(Crash Bandicoot) – If any 3rd party characters has to get in he SHOULD be the first choice. He was basically the Mario back at the PS1 Era.

    Spyro(Spyro) – Just like Crash he was basically one of Sony’s mascots. He also fits in this game perfectly

    Snake(Metal Gear Solid) – I personlly don’t want him because he has been already in 2 games like this but he is a fan favorite and a very popular choice.

    Dante(Devil May Cry) – A personal pick of mine. a Very Popular character and his first 3 games were PS exclusive. He also has a wide variety a moves.

    Final Fantasy rep. I can see a Final Fantasy character get in this game. Cloud would be the most ideal choice but I would say Lighting because FFXIII is more recent and a good female character.

    Sora(Kingdom Hearts) If Square Enix want’s a more light hearted character. Sora would be a choice since KH has been getting more popular.

    Ezio(Assassins Creed) AC has been getting more and more popular each year and it would be good for Ezio to be in this game.

    1. Now Some Stage Ideas.

      Locomotion(Uncharted 2)
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG0ZHRfvdlg

      This stage is where you fight on a moving platform. Just like almost every Smash Bros stage there is a Stage Hazard, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyrhhFoJDN4

      The Helicopter comes once in while and start shooting stuff. Sometimes the helicopter will launch Missiles destroy the platform so you better get on the next one quick.

      Empire City(Infamous)
      http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110809104537/infamous/images/d/d7/Historic_island.jpg

      An obvious stage if Cole gets a stage. You fight more on the Historic District part of the city.

  13. 1st Party: Kevin Butler
    Cole McGrath (InFAMOUS)
    Zeus (God of War)
    Nathan Hale (Resistance 1 and 2)
    Sackboy (LittleBigPlanet)
    Spike (Ape Escape) <– Really deserves a spot
    Nariko (Heavenly Sword)
    Alden Tate (InFAMOUS)
    Zegram Ghart (Rouge Galaxy)
    Gabriel Logan (Syphon Filter)
    Wander (Shadow of the Colossus)
    Mr. Grimm (Twisted Metal)

    3rd Party: Kazuma Kiryu (Yakuza)
    Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
    Gray Fox (Metal Gear Solid)
    Crash Bandicoot
    Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII)
    Spyro the Dragon
    Raziel (Legacy of Kain)
    Alicia Melchiott (Valkyria Chronicles)
    Ryu (Street Fighter)
    Agent 47 (Hitman)
    Chell (Portal)
    AiAi (Super Monkey Ball)
    Delta (Bioshock)

  14. Hey Paul,

    Just wanted to say at first just how glad I am you’ve gone to the trouble of doing this. It’s a great idea.

    The first thing I’d like to see, though I can’t offer any particular details on the plot, is for the game to have a robust story mode if at all possible. Not just an arcade mode with character endings, but an actual story. Perhaps also character-specific interactions in pre and post-battle banter, like Marvel VS Capcom 3.

    Character ideas I have included the following- definetly run with the James Bond idea if it at all possible, he might not technically be a Sony character, but it’s too good a character to pass up, especially considering the movelist possibilites are endless because of all the gadgets he’s used over the years.

    Cole McGrath from the Infamous series is a very easy and logical inclusion, as he’s already been done in a fighting game considering Capcom are putting him in Street Fighter X Tekken. His moves could include everything from his lesser lightning attacks (bolts, shockwave, rockets, etc), to his bigger attacks like Ionic Vortex and Lightning Storm for his super moves. There’s also his entire range of fire and ice powers from Infamous 2 if you wanted more ideas, as well as melee attacks from the Amp.

    Wander from Shadow of the Colossus is a great inclusion, as the Colossi themselves make for some spectacular attacks (alongside what he can do himself, obviously), and his game is considered one of the highlights of the PS2 era.

    Finally, if Jak and Daxter are in, we’ve got to have Ratchet and Clank to fight against him. His moveset is simple. Guns. Lots and lots of guns, plus some manoverability options from Clank (just as in the games), and his wrench for melee combat.

    Other 3rd party characters I would suggest would include Solid Snake, as he’s very intertwined with the history of the Playstation, Spyro the Dragon, and anyone from the Final Fantasy series- though preferably not FFVII, as that game’s seen *so* much exposure over the years, including even it’s own fighting game in Ehrgeiz and four characters in Dissidia. On the other hand, people love it and it was the first FF on Playstation, I believe, so I could understand putting Cloud in, so long as later FF’s were represented as well.

    Stages? Perhaps the location from the final boss fight of MGS4, or Shadow Moses Island. If James Bond makes it in, perhaps Blofeld’s volcanic lair from You Only Life Twice? It might look odd if Bond’s design is based on Daniel Craig, but DLC costumes for Connory, Lazenby et al will solve that.

    Thank you again for the chance to give us your thoughts, and to Sony for finally making the game.

  15. Hey Paul I got a 1 idea for gameplay. You know how you talked about how the three bars. Here’s what i think how it should work. when you fill up the first bar you get to make a super move. 2nd bar is for calling out your partner, for example sly calls out bently, ratchet calls out qwrak, etc.
    And as for the 3rd bar you can chose power up you want such as going faster, be invincible, double damage etc. So I hope everyone likes my idea. And I also hope Superbot likes it too

  16. ok, i’de really like to see dart from the legend of the dragoon, and llyod from the same game there one of sony’s lost RPG charecters, and have a huge fanbase, since theres no planed sequel, it would mean alot for those 2 or just1 to be in this game 🙂

  17. Nice Job Paul
    Here’re some of my thoughts.
    Characters ( I’ve left out the confirmed ones)
    first party: Alundra,Nariko,Arc the lad,Toan (dark cloud)
    Ico and Wander of course(ICO&shadow of the colossus)
    Ratchet and Clank,Captain Qwark,(ratchet and clank series)Spike and Ape(Piposaru)(Ape escape),Cole mcgrath(infamous) Sir daniel fortesque(Medievil)
    Toro and Kuro(sony pets) Sackboy(little big planet)
    Hot Shots Golf character,
    Ellen(Folklore), Lemmings creature(lemmings),
    Carmelia Fox(sly cooper) Kevin Butler
    3rd party:
    Crash bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Solid Snake
    Cloud Strife(final fantasy), Rayman, Scorpion(Mortal Kombat), Bomberman
    now the items:
    Shrink ray(ratchet and clank size matters)(shrink your enemie)
    different eco(jak and daxter)(improves stamina,speed and strength)
    grappling gun(little big planet 2)(grabs your enemie and draw him towards to you)
    Golf club (Hot Shot Golf)
    disco ball(ratchet and clank)(your enemies are unable to move or attack)
    apples,bananas and other fruits(recovers your health)
    patapon assist trophy( a bunch of patapon soldiers
    fires some arrows and spears at your enemies)
    several items from god of war but I pick
    (eye of atlantis,boots of hermes,medusas gaze)
    Ok out of ideas I hope someone else can help me
    improve this

    1. I really hope Crash, Spyro, and Rayman make it as third party characters. I’ve got a few ideas for them all.

      To start off, Crash:

      Tornado spin: Just a regular tap of the super move button, and if pressed repeatedly he will continue to spin and can use it to fly as well.
      His up + super move button can be his body slam.
      Down + super move button can be his floor slide.
      Front + super move can be the bazooka!
      Jumping and pressing the super move does a spin then body slam, whereas regularly it’s just a slam. The jump, spin and slam does more damage.
      Level 1 super can be him getting on his polar bear and ramming into people.
      Level 2 can be a race track that appears and all the Crash Team Racing cars run over the characters on the stage.
      Level 3 can be him calling on the giant polar bear that will slash twice causing serious, if not fatal, damage.

      He should have a double jump as his jump move. As his fighting moves, it should be just regular kicks, and if used in a combo he does a little tornado kick.
      As items from Crash Bandicoot: there can be the mangoes as health, the nitro, the dynamite, and the question mark boxes, and the Aku Aku and Uka Uka masks. The Crash Dash can be there making characters faster, Dr. Neo Cortex could appear as either a character on his own, or he could be an enemy to face, or even both. Ripper Roo, should definitely be an enemy! He would be awesome to face in a level similar to that of the 2nd Crash game where the whole level is made of bombs, and explosives that you have to dodge.

      Spyro:

      Just a regular tap of the super move button does his fire breath.
      Up + super move does his ice breath, that traps an enemy and does some damage.
      Down + super move does his electricity breath.
      Front + super move does his charge attack, where he rams into you like a bull.
      When in the air and you press the super move button Spyro crashes down with his head.
      Level 1 super can be his bubble breath that traps all enemies for him to attack.
      Level 2 super can be his tornado breath that causes a big tornado to appear and carry characters of stage thus killing them.
      Level 3 super can be a combination of all his moves that makes a super beam that will instantly kill anyone who gets hit.

      He should be able to fly with rapid taps of the jump, and if held he glides.
      His regular attacks could be his hitting you with his head, and tail. This can be done in various combos.
      Chests can be used to find goodies, and health, and bombs can be used as throw items. There can also be power up orbs for characters that will enhance their super moves for a short time.
      Ripto, Gulp, and Crush can be enemies for this game. Probably through variations of their stages in the Spyro 2.

      Rayman

      Regular tap of the super move button throws his fist.
      Up + super move button does his helicopter hair flying move, that will harm anyone above him.
      Down + super move does a super leg kick.
      Front + super move throws an energy orb at you.
      If you jump and press the super move he will drop kick you (totally made up).

      His hand to hand combat is pretty simple. He can punch, and kick so the moves will just be regular attacks, maybe a slap can be added.
      Items can include the metal fists which will give your regular moves more power. There can be the grapple which can be used in story mode when you’re playing as Rayman so you can maneuver over ledges.
      Dark Rayman, Admiral Razorbeard, and Mr. Sax can be enemies as variations of their stages.

      The story mode should include all the characters. You move through all their levels and etc… However, the catch should be that you end up in new worlds. For example, Crash can appear in a Jak and Daxter level and you’ll have to finish the level with Crash, until you are passed on to play as another character.

      That’s my input thus far 🙂

  19. I would like to see the Ape Escape franchise represented in Title Fight. I care deeply about this series and I do not want it to be exclusively in Japan. I hope this franchise is not frogotten by Sony Of America, what better way to promote a franchise than one of its first game’s main characters, Spike.

    I would like to see Spike from Ape Escape (PS1) make an appearance in title fight as a playable character. If not Spike than any of the other main characters to appear in games such as Jimmy (Ape Escape 2) or Kei/Yumi (Ape Escape 3). Or even Jake or Specter from Ape Escape (PS1). I just want to see this series get more love that it truly deserves. Heck even a yellow pants Pipo Monkey from Ape Escape would be a pretty cool way to comprimise in representing the entire series.

    As far as items, music, stages, or other goodies go, I would at least have solice in the fact that the series would be refrenced if characters are not an option. I have ideas to be considered if possible:

    Items:
    -Stun Club
    Similar to beam sword in smash brothers, but with minor stun

    -Sky Flyer/Dragon Fly
    Engage in a very high jump using the Sky Flyer to escape death or run away from an opponent. Activate by pressing an “action” button, and then mash the jump button as much as possible for increased air (Spins around head to charge when pressing the jump button).

    -Super Hoop
    Mash the “action” button (Spins around hips a bit) to dash across the arena hitting those in your path for a very short burst, leaving minor stun to the user after use.

    -Time Net
    No idea how to incorporate this item, leave it up to your imagination I suppose :). But make sure to include the classic “GOTCHA YA” sound clip from Ape Escape (PS1)

    If these do not work as items, perhaps incorporate them into Spike’s (Or other AE Charcters’) Moveset.

    Music:
    -Victory Theme of Spike would be the classic level completion music from the PS1 game.
    -Victory Themes for other AE Characters should have completion music from their respective games.

    Stages:
    Crabby Beach (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_4jnrAodpU)
    This level has a nice rendition of the intro from Ape Escape (PS1) as its music, so I feel it suites as a good level to represent the original. Perhaps have Pipo Monkies in the background making sand castles, relaxing on a lawn chair, or cheering for the players fighting. And maybe those crabs roaming about in the background as well.
    Music for this level is a given.

    Perhaps (And this is a long shot)
    A level for the Monkey Pink battle from Ape Escape 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imjEQUcXYb4)
    Maybe even as a boss! Or even more fitting for a Boss fight could be the Monkey Yellow stage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTbffISvvTI) But I’m getting ahead of myself, haha.

    Any other popular stages instead would be perfectly fine (I may just not be remembering them at the moment)

    Mini-Games:
    This is purely just for the fun of it:

    -Specter Boxing from Ape Escape PS1 returning with each Title Fight character with similar controls from the original if possible, having Specter be the final match for this mode if not a playable character.
    (Specter Boxing theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvQfYQpWM7c&feature=endscreen&NR=1)
    (Specter Boxing gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-6Xl17K6aE)

    I hope these suggestions are at the very least considered in the making of this game, be it minor or major, I hope to see this beloved franchise represented in some way. Thank you 🙂

    1. Just had some more ideas for “Music” and “Stages” for Ape Escape.

      Thanks, that is all I have at the moment. I will continue to support my thread as much as possible to get this game represented!

  20. I would recommend:
    Ratchet and Clank
    Spyro
    Crash Bandicoot
    Cole Macgrath
    Sackboy
    Ico
    Wander
    and Cloud Stife, if they are going to do 3rd party
    Those are the ones that I can think of right now anyways. Thanks for doing this brohan, its nice to be able to put in some input.

  21. soo no new news on anything? :l I was pretty damn souped to hear if any more info. has been given that we may get in the game. anything??

    [[PART 1]]]

    but as for a response to this, im going to get very into detail..for everything, but I know I won’t be able to finish EVERYTHING I have to say in one shot. so this will be PART 1 in these comments. but ok, so as for characters that MUST make it because of how they were brought up on Sony. 3rd party also. lets see if i can make a perfect roster. (and if i mess up 3rd party and vice versa, my bad. lol)

    * = 3rd party/possible
    // = same character

    1.) Kratos
    2.) Sly Cooper
    3.) Drake [uncharted]
    4.) Jak & Daxter \\
    5.) Ratchet & Clank \\ *
    6.) PaRappa the Rapper
    7.) Needles Kane [twisted metal]
    8.) Bayonetta
    9.) Colonel Radec [killzone]
    10.) Tag [modnation]
    11.) Sackboy [LBP]
    12.) Mannequin Figure [Echochrome]
    13.) Cole McGrath [infamous]

    28.) The Clown [Heavy Rain]
    29.) Rudy [Wild arms]
    30.) Rayman *
    31.) Fat Princess

    now the team up above, I have taken ALOT of time out to really get a good team of people. Now two things you may notice, that this is a HUGE list. and two, that the amount of “shooters” isn’t presciently high here. reason for the low amount is because of how there are too many shooters to put into just this one game, if that makes any sense. I would rather have the list I made above put in, and THEN add more shooters as DLC if needed, or if any other exclusives come along the way that gain much request (good idea, no?).

    But next to this, I feel as if the game should have a professional announcer. Not just a silent, 3 2 1.. fight with the words on screen. like a real announcer, yes. SSB does this, but possibly just have another range in tone for this voice. Just be sure to include one. but besides a default one. as a bonus (that i feel EVERYONE would like) is to have Kevin Butler as a secret, special announcer you unlock to announce everything the normal announcer would, but just have him do it. But can only be unlocked if you complete some extremely difficult task. and the feature should be able to switch on and off as you please once unlocked.

    As for stages, I feel as if those dont have to be discussed. Just keep the basic formula of a stage, and depending on the theme, have every so often moving obstacles during battle.

    Now another biggie, there must.. MUST be online play. allow team battles, 2 vs 2, rating system of who’s best of the best.. make the importance of the ranking system as important as Halo’s tracking of multiplayer is.

    and as for what I read on a past article on here, apparently there is a JUMP BUTTON, as in.. is that the only option? because preferably, shifting UP on the joystick i would rather prefer.. yes, ive used the button to jump on SSB before, but trust me, a small thing like that will change alot of things and people will see that.

    now as for these rings around the players ive read in past post here.. i would seriously like to see this in action, just a simple screenshot of how these “rings” around the players look. for some reason i feel this is a no-no, idk. maybe if i saw, i would understand. but honestly, i dont think anything should interfere with the character models AT ALL. if im speaking for everyone, having the 100% clear visual of your character is better. if this is used to not lose your character or something, maybe, idk, make the SELECT button to cause your character to flash your hud for a split second with the flash very low on opacity to see where you are.. see? problem solved!

    but that was just a SMAALLLL fraction of what I have to say about ideas for this. I will continue to post things on here that I know will be a good read and something people will (hopefully) consider! keep the news flowing Paul! if the team needs a permit mind from this graphic designer part time, let me know! hhaha, but on a serious note! be back soon! msg back paul!

    [[[Part 2 of my ideas soon..]]]

    1. I forgot to mention this also, about these two IMPORTANT characters!

      ***CRASH BANDICOOT & SPYRO***

      Crash Bandicoot & Spyro, are seriously the most important two to get into. Point blank, I wasn’t able to get into detail about each character, but these two have an exception. I feel as point blank, if they aren’t in the game, it’s not going to have that “true sony” feel to it. Yes, they are not exactly owned under the sony name. But in all honesty, if you’re wanting to make an impact and give that “oh wow, they have everyone from past & present on this game” especially down the line. you’re gonna want to include not what the company sees NOW as to what they own and is “sony” official, but what the audience knows as “sony” make sense? like i know crash bandicoot & spyro aren’t under the sony label anymore, but the first thing you think of with these two is “ps1” “sony” “playstation” .. etc. all im trying to get out here is when you think sony/playstation, you think of these two. and if when i get this game and they’re not on it, it’s not gonna be that “perfect” game. yes, they are only two characters, but it plays a big role. its like Jak & Daxter, or Ratchet & Clank, you THINK sony automatically (even though R&C are 3rd party). So please don’t forget those two, cause they are a MUST. Crash & Spyro are important, and need to stay within the Sony family for “Title Fight.” Not doing so would be a major disappointment.. and not to just me, but alot of fans that stand behind the sony name.

      [[Part 2 soon about what I want to see in the near future, hha]]

  22. I still find this a little hard to swallow, but I’ll keep an open mind. I’m not one to jump to conclusions. Title Fight, if real, sounds extremely promising.

    Your Ryu idea sounds great, I think I would throw Scorpion into the mix as well from Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon even mentioned offering Scorpion on twitter. Not only are both characters awesome, but being able to pit Scorpion against Ryu? That boost sales immensely. And Scorpion has a very unique moveset.

    Crash and Spyro may not be Sony anymore but they were a big part of Playstations history in the past. I’d love it if they could be acquired.

    I’d love to see a couple underdogs as well, like Sir Dan Fortesque. A couple characters that haven’t been around for some time but played a big part in the story.

    A Flower Stage would e sweet, it was such a beautiful game… Wind, Sound, and Blowing Pedals could respond to gameplay in some form.

    Also, the Echochrome mannequin should make an appearance. I’d like to see him as a fighter but that’s unlikely, so I have an awesome suggestion… he should be your opponent in any training or tutorial modes.

    I have a question… what are the chances of seeing some form of adventure mode in the game? I enjoyed Brawl’s adventure mode.

  23. Sir Daniel Fortesque. I think he would be a great character. His game was a playstation classic. He would be great to represent the PS1 era for Title Fight. He would use his weapons for his main attacks I guess. I have no ideas right now. Spyro and Crash would also be great to be playable in Title Fight. They have a varied set of weapons they could use during battle. They could also represent the PS1 era. For third party characters, I think Snake would be an obvious choice. He’s been on featured exclusively on every Sony console and he’s also a badass. Cloud Strife would be another choice. Final Fantasy VII was one of the most successful PS1 games ever to be made. He’s one character who you think of when you hear the word “PS1”. Those are my suggestions for now. I have two questions though. Will this game have any clone characters? In the story mode will the characters have dialogue?

    Thanks for allowing to share our ideas Paul!

  24. Heres a list of my top 12 1st Party Sony Characters that i believe should be in the game (this of course excluding the 8 revealed characters) myscale (*-*****)
    *-Very Unlikey
    **-Some consideration
    ***-50/50
    ****-Should be in the game
    *****- MUST BE IN THE GAME

    1. Ratchet and Clank-Given already hinted at they have to present with some of the unique weapons in the series.*****
    2. Cole McGrath (Infamous)- Cole’s is cool electric powered superhero! The recent announcement of his inclusion as a character in Capcom vs Tekken Ps3 version. He is a must *****
    3. SackBoy (LittleBigPlanet)- He is a star of a hit PS exclusive! I believe he too is a must *****
    4. Nathan Hale (Resistance)- He was the star in the first 2 Resistance games, and one of my favorite characters in a FPS, too bad he meets his end in Resistance 2. I believe he could be a cool mix of human and chimera powers. ****
    5. Spike (Ape Escape)- One of my favorite games on the PS1, this red spiked tech tricked kid deserves a slot on the roster. ****
    6. Ethan Mars (Heavy Rain)- He is of of the more unique characters in gaming in general, seeing him willing to risk everything will maybe get him in this game. ***
    7. Gabe Logan (Syphon Filter)- With all this rumors of James Bond, you would think Gabe Logan would be a perfect spy agent character instead lol. I mean hes 1st party however the lack of him being mainstream/dead? hurts his stock ***
    8. Sir Dan (Medievil)- Another great PS1 series, i think an undead skeleton knight is perfect for a beat em up game don’t u? ****
    9. Wander (Shadow of Colossus)- He is the perfect character when talking about great ps2 games. If you can take out giant Colossus, heck you should be playable ****
    10. Nariko (Heavenly Sword)- She is basically the female version of Kratos imo. I think this could be that body of that lady in the pic earlier. ***
    11. Basically my WTF character Patapon/Locoroco/Motorstorm driver/Buzz *
    12. Joel (The Last of Us)- Although the game was just announced, the idea that this is Naughty Dog’s New IP would make you think that this guy might have a shot at a roster, but maybe too late.. **
    I think Crash and Spyro although now owned by Activison should be in this game if any 3rd party character. They were the face of Sony in the 90’s the early days of the playstation, without those 2 guys this game will be missing out dearly.
    I hope when this game comes you can truly step back and say we made a rightful competitor to Super Smash Bros, that there is a new Game on the Block.. Title Fight!!!!!

  25. This sounds like great idea and could please a lot of fans that are interested in the game. I don’t have very many ideas for the game other than a list of characters that I would like to see in it. So I’ll just share that.

    1st Party Characters:
    Kratos (God of War)
    Deimos/Alrik The Barbarian King/Hercules (God of War)
    Toan/Max/Monica (Dark Cloud)
    Garl Vinland/Biorr of the Twin Fangs/Ostrava, of Boletaria (Demon’s Souls)
    Ellen (Folklore)
    Nariko (Heavenly Sword)
    King Bohan (Heavenly Sword)
    Cole MacGrath (inFamous)
    Jak and Daxter (Jak and Daxter)
    Radec (Killzone)
    Sackboy (LittleBigPlanet)
    Sir Daniel Fortesque (MediEvil)
    Tag (Modnation Racers)
    Ratchet & Clank (Ratchet & Clank)
    Dr. Nefarious/Captain Qwark (Ratchet & Clank)
    Sgt. Nathan Hale (Resistance)
    Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper)
    Gabriel Logan (Syphon Filter)
    Needles Kane a.k.a Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal)
    Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
    Emmett Graves (StarHawk)
    Leonard (White Knight Chronicles)

    3rd Party Characters:
    Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
    Altaïr/Ezio Auditore (Assassin’s Creed)
    Isaac Clark (Dead Space)
    Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)
    Spyro (Spyro the Dragon)
    Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
    Vamp/Raiden/Liquid/Psycho Mantis (Metal Gear Solid)
    Monkey (Enslaved: Odyssey to the West)

    I think there should only be, at the most, two characters from each franchise. That’s why the second suggestion is a combination of characters.

  26. I have many ideas.
    Character ideas.

    Ratchet and Clank
    Crash Bandicoot
    I would love to Coco Bandicoot to make a appearance in Title fight

    Hmm? who else? Sly cooper will be awesome! he will be cool as well, i think that he has been confirmed already! i already made a video about which characters that i would like to see, i don’t have any stage ideas really but I’m sure SuperBot will have some creative ideas for that! there’s actually many characters that i would love to see! items? bombs should make a appearance! Each Character will have a super move which i would like to see! It will be great to see a actual story mode like Super Smash Bros. Brawl has, Classic mode, All-star mode will be perfect and I’m sure you guys have alot of 3rd party character ideas, such as Solid Snake, he will fit well in Title fight. I don’t know about songs but I’m sure there will be epic ones in the game! Little Big Planet stage is a awesome idea! I’m not sure about Movesets, I can’t really think of any at all actually. well i think the character roster should be more than 20 but I’m assuming that will be enough, maybe alittle over 20, like 25 would be cool! that’s all i have to say for now! I’ll comment again with more ideas tomorrow sometime if i can think of any!

  27. Character roster

    Ratchet and Clank
    Crash Bandicoot
    Coco Bandicoot
    Sly Cooper
    Solid Snake
    Ryu
    Nathan Drake from Uncharted
    James Bond – well he could be cool!
    Nariko from Heavenly Sword

    I think there should be more than 2 female characters, hope that you can think of some more! that will be great! that’s all i got to say for now! have more ideas possibly tomorrow!

  28. This is fantastic Paul, thanks for taking the time to do this.

    My first concern is this “ring around the player” business, it sounds tacky looking and a poor excuse for not having a solidified, easy to read art style.
    No other fighting game has this.

    The character I would most like to see (apart from those announced) is Wander from Shadow of the colossus.

    A feature I would pretty much like lifted from Smash Bros is Event Mode, were there’s about 50 crazy challenges, like: beat a giant Nathan Drake, kill 3 Parappas in 30 seconds, etc

  29. My roster
    1) Nathan Drake
    2) Kratos
    3) Sweet Tooth
    4) Fat Princess
    5) Colonel Mael Radec
    6) Parappa the rappa
    7) Sly Cooper
    8) Jak and Daxter
    9) Ratchet and Clank
    10) Sackboy
    11) Cole MacGrath
    12) Chimera Hybrid
    13) Nariko
    14) Sir Daniel Fortesque
    15) Ico
    16) Wander
    17) Spyro
    18) Crash
    19) Solid Snake
    20) Cloud Strife
    21) Gabriel Logan
    22) Spike
    23) Dr. Nefarious
    24) Qwark
    25) Toro and Kuro
    26) Rayman
    27) Hunter ( My favorite legend of spyro series though)
    28) Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Has no chance but one of my favorites)

    Thats my roster FOR NOW. There should be an event mode kind of like brawl. I think that a gallery is extremely important to this game. Brawl had trophies you can view. I think that should be in this game as well. Alternate costumes should be available as well, NOT ALTERNATE COLOURS. DLC should also be in the game. Extra characters, stages, and modes could be great. The online has to be good. It just has too. Brawl’s online was kinda garbage. Make an option that you can face one person sometimes. Not three people at the same time. Each characters special moves should be customizable. For example remember the clone characters in Brawl. Let’s say Nathan’s left or right special is him shooting a sub-machine gun. Let’s say you want a different side special. So you change it and now Nathan shoots a shotgun or throw’s a grenade at you. The “final smashes” should work like that as well. Those are all my ideas for now.

  30. As well as famous Ps2 and Ps3 Sony characters, I think that the thing that most of the players want in that game is the return of Classic Psone era characters, including also famous third party characters…
    I would really like to see some of these characters in the game: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the dragon, Sir Daniel from Medievil, Gex the Gecko, Rayman, Croc, Lara Croft, Parappa, Spike from Ape Escape, Snake… In the end it’s obvious that not all of them will make the cut!

  31. thank Paul,
    i do have some characters i would like to see in the game.
    1. sack boy- i mean he is a PlayStation exclusive.
    2.Nariko from Heavenly Sword- she is awesome and 2nd female character.
    3. Cole from infamous- to just have an electric character in it.
    4.Wander S.o.C- he may have a killer move set.
    5.ratchet and clank- most of the weapons from the game will be in it so might as well add them.
    6. Spike ape escape- perfect example of classic characters.
    7. Ico- perfect for classic character. tie in to wander.
    8.Leonard w.k.c – cool weapons
    9.Toan dark cloud- sort of a classic character
    10.Ellie- more female roles in the game and a character fora future francies.

    i would like to see a story mode and challenge mode in the game to

    thanks again

  32. srry for double posting, wen i first posted it didnt show up, so i figured it didnt go through but now it did how do u delete comments? anyways i agree with harky a challenge mode would be cool, but id like it a bit more in depth than smash bros with their random challenges, i think it would be cool for u to choose a series and do different challenges for them

  33. I’m only going to mention special moves, I havent really thought much about supers or regular attacks for these characters

    Cole (inFamous)
    normal:electricity bolt
    side:electricity grenade
    down: ? (I don’t know his moves as well as I should)
    up:shock glide
    Sackboy (Little Big Planet)
    normal: paintinator
    side: grappling hook slam attack
    up: jetpack
    down: self destruct
    Ratchet (Ratchet and Clank)
    normal:Pistol
    side: mine glove
    down: mr zurkon OR hover boots
    up: hover pack

    those are the only movesets I’ve come up with, but other characters that need to be in are
    1st party:
    Nariko (heavenly sword)
    Spike (Ape Escape)
    Chimera, NOT Nathan Hale, from Resistance (similar to Rico v. Radec, villains are better known)
    Gabe Logan (Syphon Filter)
    Wander (Shadow of Colossus)
    Sir Dan (MediEvil)
    Third Party:
    As far as I am concerned there are only three third party characters that have ANY business in Title Fight:
    Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)
    Spyro (Spyro the Dragon)
    Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
    Maybe I came off a bit strong on that last part, but I really think that this should be a Sony game. Remember, SSB didn’t add 3rd party characters to their game until the third entry, when there were already 35ish Nintendo characters. The three that I mentioned though are almost synonimous with Playstaion, so I would still love to see them included.

  34. Nice Job Paul
    Here’re some of my thoughts.
    Characters ( I’ve left out the confirmed ones)
    first party: Alundra,Nariko,Arc the lad,Toan (dark cloud)
    Ico and Wander of course(ICO&shadow of the colossus)
    Ratchet and Clank,Captain Qwark,(ratchet and ank series)Spike and Ape(Piposaru)(Ape escape),Cole mcgrath(infamous) Sir daniel fortesque(Medievil)
    Toro and Kuro(sony pets) Sackboy(little big planet)
    Hot Shots Golf character,
    Ellen(Folklore), Lemmings creature(lemmings),
    Carmelia Fox(sly cooper) Kevin Butler
    3rd party:
    Crash bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Solid Snake
    Cloud Strife(final fantasy), Rayman, Scorpion(Mortal Kombat), Bomberman
    now the items:
    Shrink ray(ratchet and clank size matters)(shrink your enemie)
    different eco(jak and daxter)(improves stamina,speed and strength)
    grappling gun(little big planet 2)(grabs your enemie and draw him towards to you)
    Golf club (Hot Shot Golf)
    disco ball(ratchet and clank)(your enemies are unable to move or attack)
    apples,bananas and other fruits(recovers your health)
    patapon assist trophy( a bunch of patapon soldiers
    fires some arrows and spears at your enemies)
    several items from god of war but I pick
    (eye of atlantis,boots of hermes,medusas gaze)
    Ok out of ideas I hope someone else can help me
    improove this

  35. Hi Paul
    here I have some more items to include
    Jetpack(little big planet)(your charcter is able to levitiate)
    singstar mic(singstar) (your enemies are confused and cant move)
    playstation eye(eyetoy,eyepet)(choose an enemie and clone his fighting moves.also the eyepet gremlin pops up as your assist character)
    gauntlet of zeus(god of war)(increases your characters strength and a punch releases some thunder and lighting which spreads on the battlefield)
    Modnation Kart(Modnation racers)your character takes a Kart and knocks out the whole enemies in front of him

  36. I have some ideas for stages

    Motorstorm Apocalypse Stage
    A stage based around the crumbling city of Motorstorm Apocalypse would be really cool. Earthquakes could topple buildings and change the layout of the map as you fight. Also, racers could come charging through periodically. An exclusive item here could be a helmet, which calls in the Crazies (The rioting people who still occupied the city in the game) to attack your opponents and throw molotovs at them.
    Chateau (Uncharted 3)
    Uncharted has many environments that could be made into stages, but my first choice is Chateau from the 3rd game. This stage would be very vertical as Uncharted has such a large emphasis on climbing. A also picture there being a turret in this stage, probably near the top of the level, looking down. For an exclusive item here, I think that resin from the Cintamani stone of Uncharted 2 could be used. It would make you more powerful and less vulnerable to attacks.
    Frozen Dam (Killzone 3)
    Since the third game was announced, the snow covered helghast has represented the franchise. Because of this (along with the fact that Radec doesn’t represent the third entry in this series), I feel like this would be the perfect way to represent the franchise. For an item, maybe a Helghan flag could appear and let you take control of an ATAC if you manage to pick it up.

    Those are the ideas that I have regarding stages for now, I hope this is constructive and helps you make this game as great as possible. Thank you Paul and thank you SuperBot, you guys rock!

  37. ps fan- No offense, but that idea sucks. 1. How could all characters call in a sidekick? Kratos, Parappa the rapper, Sweetooth, and more characters dont have sidekicks. (Also, why would ratchets sidekick be Qwark?? It would be Clank…). 2. Choosing a power up for level 3? The point of the level system is to give you finishers, lv. 1 is a weaker move, lv. 2 is a stronger move, and lv. 3 is the ultimate attack, its like Streetfighter. Also, power ups are already in Items, so why would we need them as moves? By the way, you listed Invincibility as a power up. Invincibility would be WAY too overpowered.

  38. There should be a gallery mode to view the character models. There should be a great online system with more options. Customizable moves for the characters would be cool. For example, if Nathan Drake’s side special is him shooting his assault rifle, you can change it so he throws a grenade, or shoots the target with a magnum, shotgun etc.

  39. Well I’m still working on the video for the roster featuring 25 of Playstations ALL STARS that are must haves for nostalgia, variety, and catering to both the West, and Japanese players (meaning having some characters that are more popular in Japan.)

    My main suggestion however as far as this update goes is the music for the game. The music MUST BE ORIGINAL! None of that EA bull crap with crap music I’m forced to listen to with a bunch of no good artist. I’d highly recommend an orchestrated piece at least for the main theme, something to pump your nerves up without being too crazy, a BATTLE them. The rest can be whatever but again, original music is key to making the game “be it’s own game”.

    Of course allowing players to listen to their own music via the xmb is a welcomed feature too ^-^

  40. Also noting, I don’t think it’s a very good idea to even consider putting in “secondary/side characters” in the roster.

    1. They take up potential space for more important and most of the time, unique main characters.
    2. They don’t introduce players to other franchises well.

    So people suggesting Sully/Elena from Uncharted, Coco from Crash B, Quark from Ratchet n Clank, etc etc shouldn’t be taken into account and only be consider if there’s is enough space in the roster left over. So in other words, side characters should be considered dead “last”

    The roster space is also a major key component to get right besides the actual playable characters. Earlier in another article and commented on, I believe Paul said there will be around 20 characters. This is a no no, up the ante to AT LEAST 25 characters. This isn’t a 1v1 type of game (could be), if there’s gonna be up to 4 different characters on the same screen, then you need to have 25 playable characters otherwise things will get stale fast. Super Smash Bro’s Melee had 25, so this game should too in order to keep the fun and addictiveness in place.

  41. First off I am really glad you were able to get Sony to consider our ideas as interacting with the community is essential to making this a classic.
    First off Characters: (excluding announced)
    Cole McGrath
    Sir Daniel Fortesque
    Sackboy
    Ratchet and Clank (together)
    Nariko
    Carmelita Fox
    Tag (Modnation Racers)
    Ethan Mars
    Ico
    Wander
    Arc
    Nathan Hale
    Spike
    (Will go into more detail on moves later)

    Stages:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dAaQJM3XYA Sly Cooper stage: the canisters break and can release poisonous gas (maybe relate it to an older Sony game like Haze or some other i dont have the most extensive knowledge :P)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG0ZHRfvdlg Drakes Stage: Helipcopter would be shooting rockets destroying parts of the stage, could be a twisted metal character of some sort

    Will comment on ideas on part 2 and also would love more clarification on the orbs if possible
    I also think that a strong story is essential to this maybe something like the world is being engulfed by unoriginality and the characters have to save it idk havent really thought about it
