So it’s barely been two months since the release of Super PlayStation Smash Brawl and Sony has announced that two new characters will be released on February 12th and they’ve both been given their own trailer. Well that and you can download them for free for the first two weeks and like the rest of the cast will have their own alternative costumes, cutscenes, Trail Modes and more.
First off from the PS Vita game Gravity Rush comes Kat. Kat will be an up close fighter who will be able to use her gravity powers during combat to fly, dash and slide around as well as pick up and throw random objects at people. Also her level 3 super involves her merging with her cat to turn into a black cat demon to go berserk on everyone stupid enough to want to stand close to it.
Next up is Emmett Graves from the Starhawk. Can’t help but feel that they’re running out of ideas already with this guy. Along with when his default rifle and pistol he can get extra weapons loadouts by calling for more weapons like a shotgun and rocket launcher. The interesting thing about this is that what weapon loadouts his using will change what his level 1 super is. My problem is that he just feels too normal for a game with talking racoons, ex-Greek Gods of War and the head solider of the Space Nazi’s for instance. Okay to be fair his level 3 super where he takes control of a mech suit is pretty cool but out of the two characters Kat is definetly the more interesting.
Along with the new characters there will also be a new stage called Fearless. The stage itself is mash up of Heavenly Sword and Wipeout which sounds both insanely stupid and cool at the same time. The odd thing about it however is that if you’re playing online you can play the stage in ranked matches without having to buy it. Buying it however will allow you to use it offline and non-ranking lobbies. There hasn’t been any word yet as to if the stage will be free for the first two weeks like the two characters are. Also the PlayStation Blog article that mentions this also tells people to keep an eye out for March so with that being said what characters would you like to see or what two games would you like to see mashed up into one level?
