I... cannot believe I'm the one making this topic. Particularly that it hasn't already been made, but okay, let's do this...

So, the rumors are true: Sony is creating its own Super Smash Bros.-esque game featuring its hit franchises, and slightly different combat rules. And, they have even said that third parties are likely! But until Sonic is officially announced (and if), the topic remains here.
Without further ado... coverage? You want coverage? There's lots of coverage... but be warned, any of these sites could contain language/content which does not adhere to Bumbleking standards and regulations.

And my thoughts? With Sony's line-up of characters, they would be stupid not to do this very thing, so I don't blame them one bit. I'm sure Microsoft would as well, except I don't know that they have a line-up as suitable as Sony and Nintendo do.
I just hope they don't try to deny their influence here. Based on history, I know they probably will, but I hope they don't.
On another note: I hope they include Sophia, Polygon Man as a boss, and Kevin Butler in some capacity... maybe as an announcer?
Now, discuss.

If there was another thread, only fitting that you rip it off.
As for characters... probably Ratchet and Clank will be my most anticipated. Those are already confirmed, though, so who else? Crash Bandicoot seems like a no-brainer.

"Did ya hear the one about the mussel that wanted to purchase Valve? Seems like the bivalve had a juicy offer on the table but the company flat-out refused and decided to immediately clam up!"
It'll be interesting to see what other characters make the cut. Drake, Ratchet and Clank (as one character), Jak and Daxter (again, one character) and Sackboy are givens but it'll be interesting to see what third party characters they get in there. They need to be important to PlayStation, not just random characters like Ezio or whatever. So if I were to pick some I'd go with Cloud, Snake, Lara Croft and Crash Bandicoot. Others I'd deem worthy would be Dante, Jin, Kiryu and Spyro (though fat chance of the latter happening given the Skylanders redesign).
Also Wander from Shadow of the Colossus or I'm out.
Excited just to see more Little Big Planet stuff. Sack Boy all the way.
I wear my Nintendo bias on my sleeve most of the time, and I don't own a PS3. But I do greatly enjoy brawlers, so to see a new one is fairly awesome. And we are definitely entering an age where video game characters are becoming like actors, appearing in other products more and more frequently. Again, fitting. I hope the final product rocks.
Basically my dream additions are:
First Party:
Ratchet and Clank
Spyro
Dart from Legend of Dragoon
Third Party:
Crash Bandicoot
Black Mage from Final Fantasy

Hahahaha... Yeah seriously I thought people were kidding. But I just watched the video. "We are good a making fighting games.......... Also copying other ones."
I'm hoping they tweak the art a bit to mesh it better. It looks closer to TMNT: Smash Up than it does to Smash Bros.

Kratos is going to be the "Stone Cold" Steve Austin of this game. Far too serious for the setting he's placed in to be taken credibly.

Kevin Butler better be playable. He's like... Sony's best character.

We'll see.
That's not what would stop me from getting it though. I won't get it because I really don't care about the "Sony" characters.
It pretty much is a Brawl rip off. But that's completely OK. I can kickflip Kratos in the face as Parappa.
"You can beat the king of the gods, but...can you beat the king of rap?"
It's not like a new Smash is coming out anytime soon or anything.
Let Sony try their hand at it if they really think they can pull it off.
Yeah. Just like Move.
I really liked the Subspace Emmisary of Brawl, as crazy as it was. I hope this game has something just as crazy.
That said, the art style isn't working in those videos. I'm also a bit concerned about the available pool of characters.
So, mixed.
I like the idea of different franchises invading each others levels, but I get really competitive when it comes to Smash. Eventually, I don't care about the levels as long as the environment doesn't directly interfere with the gameplay.

It does look as if there are super moves or something, Sweet Tooth did a mecha transformation. Perhaps Parappa will have some kind of thing where he brings in Chop Chop and they decimate opponents with mad rhymes
Damage based on how well you can match the cues, just like the actual game.
That was the part I was leaving out, actually.
For all intents and purposes I agree...but Ratchet tips me in the 'I'll end up buying it' arena. I love the character that much.

In all seriousness, I say let them make this. At worst, it'll be about as popular as that TMNT SSB-esque game. There are three ways people can look at this.
1) Everyone will see the obvious influences and blast Sony for trying to bandwagon after Nintendo again.
2) People who don't own a Wii, but like SSB games might consider getting this and enjoy it, provided the gameplay is solid, etc etc.
3) Everyone says meh.
I'll probably keep an eye on further developments for this game, mostly to see what the final roster ends up being.

Although in that video, Hades didn't actually seem too bothered by it or anything.
Probably because nobody else really thought anybody had much of a decent stable of characters to try and pull it off.
Which is kind of the issue I have with the game. Sure you can have the likes of Kratos, Nathan Drake, and Sweet Tooth, all 3 who are iconic in their own rights and have great games to their names. Slap them into a game together, along with the likes of Parappa the Rapper and... Fat Princess??? and you get a game that feels more like an episode of The Surreal Life than a mixing of legacy characters.
I mean, think of any and every possible character they could add to this game. I postulate that nobody... nobody will garner any reaction coming close to what this video received.
God I must have watched that clip 50 times the night it came out, and cried man tears every single time.
