I guess this'll catch the attention of Bioshock fans now.

If they do add a Big Daddy, it's gonna have to be Subject Delta from Bioshock 2. Bouncers and Rosies are rather limited to what they can lug around while their prototype counterpart is equipped with everything they got from drills to rivet guns plus more guns. Not to mention he uses plasmids to boot and with everyone in the roster having a large variety of weapons, All-Stars is gonna want Mr. B's arsenal.

Big Daddy?

The phuck?

What a waste of a fugging character slot.

Not that it matters, Blu Ray and all...

^ Da ****?

Big Daddy rocks! I'm very glad they have him. Far better than Parrapa and Fat Princess.

Big Daddy is not a character. It's a damn enemy type. Those are the worst kinds of character adds. Just like Sentinel in MVC games, and that damn Lost Planet mech in Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

And its not iconic to, nor highly associated with, the Playstation brand whatsoever.

No, Parappa > Big Daddy.

Huh. Could've sworn it was gonna be Delta but whatever. Still badass to have a Big Daddy in this.

But aren't enemy types still technically characters? That's like saying a Koopa from Mario isn't a character.

Well he's a guest character and it was confirmed there are gonna be guest characters plus Big Daddy is awesome so deal with it.

Big Daddies are meh as phuck.

And absolutely, Koopas aren't characters either.

How can non-unique, re-occuring enemy types be characters?

To you maybe. A thousand others say otherwise.

Koopas are actually characters. Wasn't there a backstory about them as to why Bowser's their ruler or something?

Stop pitting the BD with common rabble. You seem to forget he's Bioshock's mascot.

Was not expecting big daddy but now that I think of it he's a good fit and sounds like a fun character.

If thier gonna clone smash bro's they better do it right and copy most of the mechanics. The developers better be putting thier game right next to brawl and see if it fits. I don't care as long as it's fun and has good online.

Not liking the roster. The online will likely stomp on that shitty Wii one.

I went and looked at this on YouTube's site and noticed how that trailer has 3,000 likes but also has 4,000 dislikes. Haha. Nintendo fanboys. I bet if Sony came up with this first and Nintendo made Smash Bros. after, a lot of them would treat it just as harshly. Grow up, people.

I think the dislikes have more to do with the fact that the cast for this game kind of sucks ass thus far (sans some obvious choices like Drake and Kratos), and less to do with nintendo fanboys disliking it.

Big Daddy (who isn't even a character in a PS3 exclusive, wtf?), Parappa and Fat Princess are all epic fails, imo.

Sony doesn't have enough good characters to pull off an entirely exclusive cast though. Hell, even Nintendo grabbed some 3rd party characters like Sonic and Snake and truthfully I don't see that as a bad thing.

Edit: But yeah, the cast is pretty weak so far.

That's the conclusion I've come to as well.

Game looks shitty anyway.

Cole MacGrath (inFamous)
Nariko (Heavenly Sword)
Crash Bandicoot (CB)
Ico (Ico)
Wander (Shadow of the Colossus)
Traveler (Journey)
Ratchet & Clank (R&C)
Jak & Dexter (J&D)
Nathan Hale (Resistance)
Sackboy (Little Big Planet)
Old Snake (Metal Gear Solid 4)
Cloud Strife or Sephiroth (FFVII)
Tifa Lockhart (FFVII)
Spike (Ape Escape)
Sir Daniel Fortesque (MediEvil)
Aya Brea (Parasite Eve)

And I'm sure there's more.

Crash Bandicoot and Snake aren't exclusive characters. They're both in games that have been on other systems (360, primarily).

First, several of those aren't PS exclusives like CB and Snake. Secondly, many of them are, IMO, pretty lame and un-iconic. And finally, that's still not nearly as many characters as Brawl had.

Now obviously Brawl has some bad characters in their cast but the vast majority of them deserved to be there.
