Call me paranoid but I'm kinda worried about that day, I for one will be staying close to my home during that time cuz I am sure there will be a massive amount of whackjobs out there that believe this and might pull crazy stunts like "OMG I ALWAYS HAVE WANTED TO KILL RANDOM PEOPLE NOW I CAN DO IT!!!".

Kinda like that My Name's Earl episode where they start robbing stores because they think the world is ending in 2000, except more brutal.

This is what I was most concerned about when the initial hysteria broke loose. Hysteria clouds judgment, and leads to irrational thoughts and some people act upon those thoughts. Have we learned nothing from the Salem witch trials?

It could be a dangerous day/night for many people because of the fear behind this day. I'll be working at the hospital that night so I can only imagine the nonsense that will come our way.

or just on their own homepage: http://www.playstationallstarsbattleroyale.com/All-Stars/1 I don't want to be rude, but unless you're doing strategy guides (best combos and stuff like that) there isn't much need for this, sorry. :)danish-death

Haha I knew I should have looked into it more! Looks like I'll be cutting this one short haha. Thanks for the heads up and saving me some time.

I'll still post my thoughts and some of the strategies I use for the characters. Hope to keep this an open discussion if possible.

Hey everyone I figured I would set this up to help anyone having trouble with character move sets and strategies in the beta portion. Feel free to correct me if there are any mistakes and please provide me with proper terminology of the move sets if known. Thanks and hope it helps! Enjoy!

Kratos:

Kratos THE GOD OF WAR! He is a beast no less in this game and you can bet he will be a popular character in many ranked matches. His move set revolves around getting in close to the opponent and tearing them to shreds. He excels in attacking and sweeping. Has some counter moves and some good mid range attacks. Long range moves are limited to one type.

Strategy: Use Kratos if you want to build up the power gauge quickly. He can be relentless with his attacks, so keep pressuring the opponent with multiple combos and don't be afraid to get into the middle of a heated battle between other opponents. Aim for Lv.3 power up since it's so easy to obtain with Kratos. Use Powers effectively based on radius and range of opponents.

Move Set:

Square:

regular/basic attack; great for pulling off a X3 combo

+ --> (arrow facing opponent preferably) Attack with blades of Olympus and latch onto opponents and bring yourself in to execute an attack.

+ double sweep with blades in both directions

+ sweep upwards in the air (combo with another for a spin attack)

Triangle:

power attack- swing blades of Olympus downwards

+ --> Charge at enemy with spear

+ Smash hammer down with a small area effect

+ Nemean Cestus (Hercules weapon) attack in air (mid Range)

Circle:

Counter against opponent attack. Stuns them so use wisely :D

+ --> Bow of Apollo to shoot multiple fire arrows (keep pressing to shoot consecutively)

+ Head of Helios (charge and release) to stun?

+ Soar into the air with your wing and sweep opponent upward

Aerial Combat (press x first to jump in the air then execute other functions)

+ attack in the air

+ + --> basic attack (mid extension) in air

+ + sweep underneath

+ + twirling move (haha can't remember the exact name)

+ sweep with blades

+ + --> Attack with spear multiple times down/diagonally

+ + Use Hammer downward for a wider area effect on the ground

+ + Use NemeanCestus to attack around Kratos

+ counter in the air

+ + --> use arrows in the air

+ + Use head of Helios down/diagonally to stun?

+ + Sweep with wings upward

Grab: (R3) Rush at opponent and smash them into a wall

Power

LV1: Charge at enemy with Blade (Sword) of Olympus and KO anyone in path

LV2: Use Blade to create a tornado that has an area effect small radius extending left/right of Kratos and reaches opponents directly above

Lv3: Use Pandoras Box and enjoy :D (circle for long range, square for basic, triangle for leap)

Kratos has to be dumbed down, way too OP especially if it's two Kratos against like Sly Cooper and Parappa.

NoirLamia777

I disagree. I use Sly Cooper all of the time and he appears to be the most useful of the bunch. I win a lot of matches with him even against testosterone raging Kratos.

Kratos is able to obtain Super lv. 3 at a quicker pace because of his assortment in attacks but there is nothing more amusing than dodging his lv.3 move with Sly's invisibility

haha.

First off, I'm not impressed that it's almost a complete rip off of SSB.

Secondly, the controls are simple yet the characters require time and patience to master. Playing this game for the first time, it does feel confusing and unnatural. But, after playing with a cousin of mine for 4 hours I can see where this game has potential. I thought it was fun and some of the battles were pretty intense.

It does require one to spend a decent amount of time with it though.

The complaints of Radec and Kratos being overpowered are understandable. I hated almost every moment facing off against the two in 2V2. Radec players spam the same mindless move over and over. While that drove me mad, I learned to counter them. They suck in CQC or are simply surprised to have someone in such a close vicinity.

As such I may purchase this game mostly for co-op battles. I am concerned about the vita version being far inferior.

If there were no problems, media wouldn't even exist. The only way for world peace is to kill every living thing.NiKva

I think media would evolve into something else. If not it simply would be unnecessary.

Couldn't we honestly come up with a better solution than nuking the entire planet though. World peace is far from our reach in our current state but I truly believe that we are capable of obtaining something close to it (a Utopia of sorts).

We need to change our lifestyles as a whole and develop our qi. Qi is the essence of life and is balanced by a counterpart known as yin. A balance between yin and yang in all individuals is necessary to attain "peace" not only within ourselves but the world.

Our society today is too heavily focused on materialism. Being successful in most individual's eyes is based off income and possessions. Do we not see the flaw behind this type of society? Rather than focusing on our inner well being we are consumed by the pressures of society.

To develop or nurture this qi we need to first remove ourselves from refined, processed foods and consume more of what nature has intended to provide us. That means changing our dietary habits which heavily influences our moods (aggression, irritation, anxiousness, etc.)

Second we must focus on qualities of balance to attain harmony. This includes kindness, dependability, patience, and courage.

Third we must practice disciplines that put an emphasis on essence, harmony, and stillness. These include prayer, meditation, yoga, and tai chi.

These are the first steps individuals can take to change not only themselves, but the world.

[QUOTE="Mochyc"]The ones that do work only slow down the process.Ricardomz

But there it says that really gives you new hair by re-activating the stem cells or something like that, I don't really understand it quite properly but it sounded legit and they had made tests and stuff.

Stem cells work like this:

They initially start off as non-specific cells (sort of like unemployed) They are capable of becoming any type of cell in the body, known as progenitor cells with a specific task or role. Stem cells can divide into many more stem cells, and when directed by chemical processes in the body they can become certain classes (red blood cells, white bloood cells, etc.)

Hair is grown with the help of epithelial cells that line the scalp. I suppose the stem cells used in this treatment will be given the specific role of becoming epithelial cells. In turn increasing the number of cells for hair growth. I don't see how more stem cells would be dangerous, but I do see where this treatment is limited. You would essentially have to keep up the amount of epithelial cells with continous treatment. (probably cost a fortune since stem cells are rather unique).

I'm not familiar with the studies but I would think it would simply be a temporary fix.

Genetics plays a huge role in hair loss, but I also believe the environment and diet play a much larger role than we think. Maybe we will see future studies on the matter.

Hoped this helped to clarify a bit.

[QUOTE="Lightning_fan"] Nah, I just am not sexual. End of story. Enjoy being a breeder or having the media groom you into believing in attraction to other humans rather than realizing that as part of a collective sexual drive is an archaic concept.Lightning_fan

This post is pure disgusting. What is wrong with wanting to create a family? Must you label people for wanting that?

The media did not determine my sexual attraction nor influence it, nature did! Lightning you are sending out the wrong message.

Lightning, while I commend you for your concern of the world and the injustice witnessed on a daily basis, your posts have the opposite effect. You are driving people away from you and your ideas. It is hard to accept your ideas when you simply come across as ignorant. You may not agree, but "breeders" is a slang term in the context that you used it. We may be animals but we are also human.

[QUOTE="meconate"][QUOTE="Lightning_fan"] How elitist, I am not sexual period... The topic never said if you were sexually attracted rather if you like a specific group in general. Clarify next time rather than putting up some stuck up, condescending view.Lightning_fan

[QUOTE="meconate"][QUOTE="Lightning_fan"]I like all people. I am not an elitist, I am not a servant of evolution and natural selection but a stone.Lightning_fan

Lightning, please! These comments and others where you suggest individuals are elitists, does nothing but create unnecessary hatred and tension.

I'm still unsure about what the TC is trying to accomplish with this thread. Then again there are many pointless threads out there and I seem to respond to them anyways haha.

Answering the question, I like individuals not based on gender.
