Analyzing The Perfect PlayStation All-Stars Sequel Roster 

Wow, Thank you all for the positive feedback! I never thought this video would blowup to the point where it'd get 3,500+ views within a month. Its great to see that I'm not the only one that thinks Sony should take another go at this under-rated gem of a series. I know I may of went a bit overboard with the roster size in this video. I understand that theres no way in heck the next Playstation Allstars will have anywhere near 105 characters, and probably should of taken out a bunch of the lesser requested characters like Ripto, Spectre, or Avalon Darrow, but the point of this video was to showcase the best variety and combination of characters for the next Playstation All-Stars and what each of the characters could do gameplay-wise. I probably should of been a bit more clearer on that in the video...but too late now. :P I do plan on making another more-realistic playstation All-Stars video soon so stay tuned for it.

Sony actually tried to get cloud and crash. They couldn’t get Crash due too Activision asking for too much money and they couldn’t get cloud because square said no. However square offered lightning as dlc but the dlc was canned before they could add her

I want a sequel for this game so badly, there's a power vacuum left by Ultimate releasing it's last DLC months ago. Sony could make some bank by releasing a sequel that adds more stuff and better and more characters.

Imagine if you play as Spartan Kratos and you fight Nordic Kratos and win, but in the cutscene after Atreus is hurt which causes Nordic Kratos to snap. You then play as Nordic Kratos and demolish Spartan Kratos, after their fight Spartan Kratos could have that moment of realisation when he finds out that he’s hurt his family again

CJ as a fighter on PlayStarion All-Stars 2 would be awesome

I’m going to be honest, The gameplay using Super Meters to kill makes all the regular attacks useless, and wish the gameplay was changed entierly.

I agree with every character but i think you forgot one..... Klonoa!!!

For Fat Princess I feel as though it would be overall better to turn her into a Pokémon trainer esq character due to her being the leader of the villagers that all have individual moves and roles.

I disagree, why would you wanna play as a random character in Resistance? The protagonist is Nathan Hale, he gets infected with the Chimeran virus and becomes a super soldier and was present for most of the games, that's what I find memorable, he should return as a playable character if there was a sequel.

Instead of joker they should use Yu from persona 4. And persona 4 golden was pretty much the flagship of the ps vita.

Lots of good choices and logic here, but I think including some of the secondary characters and villains you mentioned would be superfluous. If we were talking about Smash Bros., I would say they should be assist trophies or costumes instead.

You know they couldnt make that many characters. Like even smash (which has a lot of a bigger budget than ps all star ever will) reuses things from every prior games and you are like let's add 50 characters.

Big Daddy may not be a good inclusion. But I think Booker DeWitt could be great in combat. He has an assortment of vigors, guns and his skyhook. Plus his ultimate could be Elizabeth summoning a Handyman or Songbird.

If you had decided to do some research, a lot of the characters you mentioned as "missing" from the original game were all planned but the company couldn't get them due to the licenses for those characters being thrown around too much at that time (Crash and Spyro), the companies were asking for too much money for the characters to be in (Crash and Cloud), or they were asked to not be included due to having a new variation having games come out soon (Lara Croft). I'm sorry if this came off as rude, but there have been many easy to access accounts and explanations by the developers as to why some big names where not included. Same reason for Donte instead of Dante as the parent company of DMC, Capcom, wanted them to use the new one to push the new game despite the developers of PSASBR wanting the original one.

Character 69 is the Sorceress. Nice.

Since people suggested Alucard, I think another good rep from CV would be Leon Belmont for his moveset potential and exclusivity

Vibri from Vib Ribbon would be a neat, weird pick.

55:40 OMG FRIGGIN TIGERSHARK I thought nobody remembered Invizimals, the card game was all the rage in my country since Pokemon cards are very difficult to find.

I can actually imagine Mr Grimm in the sequel, but I don't know which incarnation.

This is an amazing video, this is so details I’ve never wanted a game so badly to come out

I love PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale my favroute is Nathan drake

The amount of effort in this video deserves so much more views! Great video

I was not expecting GT to be mentioned but I'm very glad you did.

Wonderful video. Wish it had more recognition.

How do you not have more subscribers, this is so good and it's definitely helping me figure out a certain project!

I just want to say well done, we really appriciate the effort u made in this 1 hour vid. I think overloard should be added to the list aswell

Kat was my main I miss doing her long ass combos

Rico Velasquez from Killzone should also be included. Dude is a major badass who has a penchant for close quarters combat and is definitely the most iconic good guy from the series.

I find it strange that no one puts MegaMan Volnutt in their Character Rosters for the Playstation AllStars 2, since MegaMan Legends was released for PLAYSTATION 1 (and also on nintendo 64). He could be a slightly heavy character, but not that fast. His Super attacks could be Loaded shots, the ship he uses in the game, and other things.

I had to watch the whole thing. Me and my cousin love having the conversation of “what if” when it comes to PlayStation allstars. It was one of it not my favorite game as a kid. But we can only hope.

Dude you amazing love you video

I would also include Wolverine to go alongside Spider-Man as the two sole 4th party characters (since both characters are getting new games developed by Insomniac Games). I mean, come on. Wolverine vs. Kratos; who the hell wouldn't want that dream match to happen?

I've seen a lot of people wanting Vibri to come into Psasbr and this kinda stuff makes me feel that Vibri will soon become popular, also I want her in, add Vibri for the sequel

If you ask me what I would want for the original roster here's how it goes -replace ghost of Sparta Kratos with the Nordic Kratos and make GOS ver an alt -Cole McGrath and evil Cole McGrath would be a single character with a karma gimmick, and make evil Cole McGrath an alt -replace 2013 Dante with the old dante -aside from the characters I mentioned everybody else will come back, yes even fat princess and big daddy but they all would not be DLCs (some newcomers will get that treatment)

I think that Microsoft, and Sony, and Nintendo are going to have a collaboration on the around the clock video?

A character from Shin Megami Tensei would also be hella cool. Raidou, Demifiend, Serph, and even Flynn would fit very well.

Immediate Thumbs Up for remembering Dart That campaign kept All-Stars alive near the end of its life

Ty for finding something for resistance! It’s one of my favourite video game series of all time but I had no idea what sony could do for a character! Hale’s fine and Capelli is a compelling character but their move sets would be too generic. I always thought Daedalus would be TOO much of a freak character but I love the idea of him acting like the Pokemon trainer

Howdy, MiZta Zombie. this is diverse video. thanks. :)

Awesome video, really thorough I would add these characters that Sony owns though. A rep from White Knight Chronicles War of the Monsters Rogue Galaxy Dark Cloud Sorcery The Order 1886 Concrete Genie Freedom Wars Soul Sacrifice The Last Guardian Shadow of the Beast No Heroes Allowed: No Puzzles Either Kyoutou Sensei and Kevin Butler as the mascot villains that were abandoned by Sony like Polygonman. And Q*Bert since Sony owns him now.

If They Do Make An PlayStation All-Stars Sequel, I Really Think They Should Do The Same Kind Of Intro Like They Did In The First Game!😁

I miss this game! I wish there was a sequel!

One possible psvita idea, they could have Jacket from Hotline Miami, because he was on psvita at one point and had some exclusive features. I could imagine him using masks similarly to Shulk in Smash Bros and his manado arts

1 hour edited video this video need to blow up come on it has a few views pls RU-vid algorithm

The fanmade sequel is in development on Dreams for PS4/PS5. Upcoming on 2021

Captain Blasto joins PlayStation all stars 2 please sony

I'd like to see your personal list for Stages, Hazards, and maybe which ones will cross over which.

Sakurai did said sometime after the Terry Smash showcase that he couldn’t put Mai in Smash in spite of him and SNK wanting her to be in the game due to needing to comply to the E10 rating (and similar ratings in other parts of world) of Ultimate.

50:42 Yeah about that.... It's actually something similar like Good Cole and Evil Cole but it's called Honorable Jin (White Ghost Armor) and Dishonorable Jin (Red Ghost Armor)

im late cause of when this popped on my YT recommended but im surprised you didn't include ape escape's "pipotron"

I know it would be hard to make it work, but I do think having a Mech / AC from Armored Core would be a good addition to a future roster, as the series was mostly on the playstation for the longest time

That's an odd number. And for that reason of rivals we must absolutely bring back the Big Daddy, if not Subject Delta.

Sly,Bentley, Murray,and Carmilita are perfect for the roosts because they have awesome skills since sly1 and 4.

*Part 1, My idea of how to size down the roster: PlayStation 1: Crash, Coco, and Cortex(Crash Bandicoot), Spyro and Ripto(Spyro the Dragon), Parappa, Master Onion, and lammy(Parappa the raper), Spike and Spectre(Ape Escape), Toro, Sir Daniel(Medievil), Dart(Legend of Dragoon), Abe(Abe’s Odyssey), Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth(Final fantasy 7), Sweet tooth, Calypso(Twisted Metal), and GT Driver(Grand turismo) PlayStation 2: Jak & Daxter and Errol(Jak & Daxter), Ratchet & Clank, Dr. Nefarious, and Qwark(Ratchet & Clank), Sly Cooper, Bentley, Murray, and Carmelita(Sly Cooper), Radec(Killzone), Kratos & Atreus(2018 ver.), Baldur, Zeus, and Kratos(Original Ver.)(God of War), Dante(Devil may cry, and NOT THE REBOOT VER.), Etna(Disgaea), Kazama and Goro(Yakuza), And Yu Narukami and Elizabeth(Persona).

Watched the whole thing loved it but would like to add Nathan Hale in addition (Resistance guy). He could use all the grandees and guns from the game. White Knight Chronicles would be cool to add and also Genji and Onimusha could be samurai/ninja skins for whoever

I would love to see lenneth and a few others from Valkyrie Profile and Mint and Rue from Threads of Fate. Mint and Rue each have cool weapons. Mint casts spells and Rue transforms into different wild beasts that he kills.

Looks more like a list of "PlayStation exclusive characters and their fighting skills" Still, is a good list, even if I'm not totally agreed on every one, I will also incluse Lazarus Jones from _Ghosthunter_ and Jaster Rogue from _Rogue Galaxy_ both from the PS2, I think they are good characters.

I have another WTF request: Joe Mauer from MLB The Show.. Which was a PlayStation exclusive for years, and hey, Smash style fighters ALWAYS have a WTF fighter..

They should totally release a sequel to this game on the anniversary of the play station consoles

Question, how the heck did you make this? Video editor, screen recording, images? Thinking of starting a channel one day. Also this is the second sequel roster wishlist for Play Station All Stars Battle Royale I've seen, which hey, makes me hope it gets a sequel in the PS5. And that list also took Big Daddy for similar reasons, so thankfully you aren't alone. That one had 38, this one has almost triple that. Like damn dude, the respect for this amount of research and love is unparalleled.

Sad that Pepsiman didn't make it in he would have been a fun fighter

I smell something I might find interesting

Whats so funny is 80% of these guys listed here was from PlayStation now on Super Smash Bros. Hero - Dragon Quest 11 Terry - Fatal Fury Kazuya - Tekken Sora - Kingdom Hearts Solid Snake - Metal Gear Sonic - Sonic the Hedgehog Mega Man - Mega Man Ryu and Ken - Street Fighter Cloud and Sephiroth - Final Fantasy 7

Come on Sony give us a sequel

This sounds EPIC.

I think for this franchise to come back (which I would like) with a satisfying roster it would be licensing hell. Since then Smash Bros. has simply become too big, snatching even more Playstation icons like Cloud, Joker, and now even freaking Sephiroth. I bet Crash is next. I believe once a character appears in these types of games there is probably some clause in the contract that prevents them to appear in other games that might appear as obvious competition. It's probably the reason why Smash still hasn't got a playable Heihachi which sounds like a no brainer even though the game is actually developed by Namco itself. Maybe in a couple of years. That means that Cloud will never happen, he's too big of a character for Nintendo to share it with another game. Also, since Smash now has become really interesting to many developers to promote their games (look how easy was to get Terry for example, or even Steve from Minecraft which is honestly the biggest behemoth on the roster so far), they would vastly prefer to appear in Smash, a high-selling, long-lasting franchise, rather than gamble their way into the sequel of a game which didn't exactly explode 8 years ago. Imagine Activision being approached by both Nintendo and Sony for having Crash in either Smash or Playstation All-Stars 2 (I assume both is simply impossible for legal reasons): who do you think would they prefer? The highest selling fighting game ever, or a bet on its direct competition? Sony should really try their best and create a great, funny game first. Also, with character, since the first one was lifeless as fuck. Grow it, and maybe in two/three installments they can start actually rivalring Smash.

Scorpion would definitely have his finishers as Supers, but it's not like anyone's asking for blood and gore in this game, there are plenty of Fatalities that can translate into Supers. His Toasty fatality would make a good level 1, his level 2 can be the hand from hell pulling an opponent into the ground before they're spat back out and launched away or KO'd whatever this game decides to do for KO's, and his level 3 can be an original cinematic Super of some kind.

I know this sounds a bit crazy but what would be a the rival scenario. Like, who should be the rival of who.

Glad to hear someone else say they love this great game

Really good list some characters I would include are Ari and Stan from the Cult PS2 RPG Okage Shaodw King Maxamillion from Dark Cloud 2 who can use his Wrench or Ridepod Jaster from Rouge Galaxy Jeanne d'Arc from the game of the same name

I really enjoyed this list and agree with most of the roster. However, I would also love to see some representation from the Monster Hunter series, since it got its start on the PlayStation consoles and even its portable systems. People have already been clamoring for a Monster Hunter in Smash, so why not put them here? In terms of their move set, they could employ the various weapons from the series like the Great Sword, Sword and Shield, and Hunting Horn for directional attacks and (for the Hunting Horn) buff themselves with extra attack or defense. On top of that, it could be possible to implement many of the monsters from the series given how popular they are. Maybe they could be similar to Rathalos in Smash and be tied to an assist that anyone could use? Or the Hunter’s ultimate attack could see them throwing a character into an arena and just watch them be torn apart by monsters such as Rathalos, Zinogre, or even Elder Dragons like Nergigante and Teostra? Just as a huge fan of the series, I would love to see this in a PSASBR 2.

I got stages, you wants stages? You'll get stages! -the world that never was (kingdom hearts/sonic frontiers) -primordial ooze (ape escape/mortal Kombat) -castle rock (rayman/castle crashers) -pinball carnival (sonic superstars/ ape escape 2) -tilted towers (fortnite/ metal gear: rising revengence) -inner mind (psychonaughts/the neverhood)

Klonoa and Toan from Dark Cloud would be welcome additions too. I was also thinking about the Limbo and Inside boys maybe

The game was so good, I played it so much back then. I was a Sir Dan main

I would love to see The Ancestor from Darkest Dungeon in the roster.

Edit: I have added Pepsiman and percentages for how likely they are to be included. (Also Doomguy is now a 0% as Microsoft have purchased Bethesda who own doom. 2nd Edit: I also added Alex Mercer from the Prototype series, as while his series is underrated, he did get a comic book series and is pitted against Cole MacGrath in the Death Battle community 90% of the time. I also added Rajang from Monster Hunter, since the series used to be a ps2 exclusive and has been featured in the recent Astrobot. 3rd Edit: Changed the percentages of some characters due to Microsoft not being as strict with the rights to sharing them. Ones I agree on: Crash Bandicoot- (100%) Coco Bandicoot- (75%) Dr. Cortex- (75%) Spyro- (100%) Parappa- (100%) Spike- (100%) Spectre- (75%) Toro Inoue- (100%) Sir Daniel Fortesque- (100%) Dart- (75%) Abe- (50%) Cloud Strife- (100%) Sephiroth- (75%) Sweet Tooth- (100%) Calypso- (50%) Gran Turismo Driver- (25%) Rayman- (100%) Razeil- (25%) Gex- (50%) Croc- (25%) Pepsiman- (100%) Jak and Daxter- (100%) Ratchet and Clank- (100%) Dr. Nefarious- (75%) Captain Qwark- (50%) Sly Cooper- (100%) Bentley- (75%) Murray- (75%) Col. Radec- (100%) Kratos and Atreus- (100%) Baldur- (50%) Zeus- (100%) Ghost of Sparta Kratos- (75%) Sora- (75%) Dante- (100%) Vergil- (100%) Kazuma Kiryu- (75%) Goro Majima- (75%) Wanderer- (75%) Rajang- (50%) Rau Utu- (25%) Nathan Drake- (100%) Sackboy- (100%) Cole MacGrath- (100%) Delsin Rowe- (75%) Fetch- (50%) Nariko- (100%) Emmet Graves- (100%) Alex Mercer- (75%) Daedalus- (50%) Jodie Holmes- (50%) Joel- (100%) Koutaro- (50%) Joker- (100%) Slayer of Demons (Demon’s Souls)- (75%) Knack- (50%) Wendeigo- (50%) Aloy- (100%) Connor- (75%) Astrobot- (75%) Hunter- (100%) Deacon- (50%) Sam Bridges- (75%) Jin Sakai- (100%) Uberhero- (25%) Kat- (100%) Tigershark- (25%) Heihachi- (100%) Jin Kazama- (75%) Kazuya Mishima- (75%) Big Boss- (75%) Raiden- (100%) Issac Clarke- (100%) Mai Shiranui- (50%) Albert Wesker- (75%) Nemesis- (100%) Jill Valentine- (50%) Pyramid Head- (75%) Alucard- (50%) Juan Aguacate- (25%) Doomguy- (75%) Carl Johnson or Arthur Morgan- (75%) Lara Croft (2013)- (100%) Scorpion- (50%) Ryu- (75%) Spider-Man- (75%) All of these total up to 85 characters, which would be close but not completely accurate to the number of smash brothers ultimate characters’ roster.

Let's just say Spider-Man isn't the most questionable pick out of the #105 listed. Enjoyed the video tho!

Personally speaking as a Nintendo fan, PlayStation All-stars is the game that made me interested in trying out more sony games, and even non-nintendo consoles as a whole Even though I still haven't been able to play much Sony beyond Psasbr itself, Bioshock on Switch, and a small few actual classic Sony related games that happened to go multiplatform on switch too such as CTR and Katamari, mostly due to budget restraints and the difficulty of emulating Sony games, I am way more than excited for the concept of a sequel to PlayStation All-stars than almost any other game I can think of

I like the exhaustive list. I'd add Jehuty from Zone of the Enders, the Journeyer from Journey, Alucard from Symphony of the Night, the Demi-Fiend from Shin Megami Tensei 3, Jeanne D'arc and Ava from Kinetica. A Kinetica rep would be really interesting because the characters raced with their bodies.

How about some PSVITA characters and maps? We could have someone from the P4 cast, iota/atoi, the sorcerer from Soul Sacrifice, the guy from Silent Hill For new maps and environments, you could have the black and white environment from Escape Plan and as the match progresses, the color comes in and transitions into the Tearaway world. Also, the TV channel from P4 could be another map.

I have a few more 3rd party suggestions. You left out one of the biggest fighting series Soul Calibur. Nightmare would be amazing. I'd also like Amaterasu, Jack Cayman, and Travis Touchdown. A Borderlands vault hunter would also be super cool.

I was angry that you didnt include Lara Croft, deep down I knew she would be at the very end. Good list.

I came from the future and.. Sora came into smash as the fighter pack number 11

Givin this the view because I'd like to see a 2nd myself on the PS5!

Honestly instead of CJ, I want to see Max Payne as his bullet time would make for a interesting fighter mechanic.

Even if unlikely, I'd love it if Blade Wolf joined the roster. One of my favorite characters in Metal Gear.

I agree with the large majority of your roster in this video, however, there are other PlayStation IPs you didn't touch on that imo would make great additions for a sequel. Those include: Dark Cloud SOCOM Okage Siren Journey Concrete Genie I think the characters in these games have potential to be part of the roster in the next PlayStation All Stars.

I personally would like the persona 3 or persona 4 protags(Yu Narukami or Yuki Makoto) since we already have joker in smash

Another good RPG character from the PS1 era to include if PlayStation All-Stars 2 ever becomes a thing, would be Vahn from the Legend of Legaia series. -Edit: However the list was already finished far too long ago.

I would agree with you mizta zombie on all of the characters on this video on the perfect roster on the sequel to PlayStation all-stars battle royale video only if the good endings and the perfect endings and true endings and the best possible endings are canon endings and everyone has survived and known someone or a RU-vidr who know that which 100% ending is a canon ending like gta vice city and you have to a cool rating in Parappa the rapper, and Parappa the rapper 2, and um jammy Lammy

Cool list. I would choose Leon over Jill tho and have Chris as a skin

Nathan Hale from resistance would be great! He has a CRAZY arsenal.

Dose anybody else think the music finale by madeon should still be in the intro if PlayStation all-stars has a sequel?

I think that a PlayStation All-Stars sequel can work in two ways: either make it an arena brawler akin to Capcom's Power Stone with traditional fighting game elements or make it a Marvel vs. Capcom style game. As for the roster, I think your roster is what I'd like to see, but with a few more additions: Klonoa, Kain (to go alongside Raziel), Shadow the Hedgehog (since Sonic is in Smash), Megaman Volnutt and Tron Bonne from Megaman Legends, Zero from Megaman X, Maximo from Capcom's Maximo dualogy, Morrigan, Jon Talbain, Demitri Maximoff, and Felicia from Darkstalkers, Alundra from the original Alundra, War, Fury, Strife, and Death from the Darksiders series, and finally Toan from Dark Cloud

Love the roster but I got one extra character Alex Mercer from prototype 1

Sony should believe in tje potential of a sequel Just do proper marketing for this

I called it I knew deacon would be on this can’t be too surprised thou he makes a good point about his moves

now i wonder if xbox would allow crash in a all-stars sequel

There are many that I would remove from the list but there are also many that would look good in the game.

Anyone got a list with timestamps?
