A Franchise Battler's Brawl: PlayStation All Stars Vs. Super Smash Bros.
Submitted by Christopher Groux; February 21, 2013
Category 1: Characters
A huge part of what makes both of these games so necessary to own is that they both hinge on the possibility of clashing different franchises that you never thought would be able to play under the same roof. Sure, both games capture that basic idea quite identically well, but is there any one title that does so better? Taking a look at All-Stars, there is definitely a sense that this is an ode to fans of the PlayStation brand's past and present. With new additions like Nathan Drake paired alongside classic faces like PaRappa the Rapper, it's definitely clear that Sony has its bases covered which is really worth commending them for.
However, in my personal opinion, I'm not quite sure that these characters can stand up to quite the iconic history that folks like Mario, Peach, and Pikachu have set before them. Part of what makes Smash Bros. so great is that it has the luxury of using characters that even people who have never played video games before are able to pick right out. Because PlayStation doesn't have that long established and well-supported history of exclusive titles, most of the biggest names listed will only be known for the fanboys. Not to mention, not seeing Crash Bandicoot in the roster was a massive letdown. I certainly like both lineups because I enjoy both brands, but Nintendo has the benefit here.
Winner: Super Smash Bros.
Next we'll see how the games differ in terms of their gameplay!

and if these fantards were to actually remove their nintendo goggles off their heads and actually look at games, theyll find that almost all games are the same concept as each other.
at least we can say, sony dont just offer childish recycled shovelware games on each system, which you will be expecting more mario/zelda/pikmin/mario kart shite everytime.

Nintendo does offer a lot of crappy games in my eyes too, but people who like their systems sort of know what they're getting into I think.

Second, don't call us people who like nintendo Wiitards, your fucking ignorance is shameful. Wii sold more than PS3 or Xbox360, so shut the fuck up.
Last, just because you own one game doesn't automatically make it superior, from experience, i've had better online support from Nintendo but a better service from Microsoft. PS3 is just shameful and yes i own one, i play WiiU more though.

PSAS, on the other hand, is more traditional in that the moves are more standard, with little room for non-standard application (it's REALLY hard to explain if you haven't played Smash Bros competitively). That said, PSAS fills a nice gap that I've been missing in my gaming since I gave up on Nintendo, and while it has surpasses the traditional fighter in technique.
Ultimately, the little nuances of play in Smash Bros maintains that balance of accessibility and depth of play/skill. PSAS is a nice title, and I really liked the game until they added DLC characters, which is an absurd concept in a fighter. DLC skins, maps, announcers, soundtracks are all acceptable, but you cannot make characters DLC in a fighting game... Wrong move Sony.
