Hopefully he'll tell them to ditch the stupid "only die by supers" thing for Playstation All Stars.

it was clear that "only die by supers" was just ONE of the games modes in the first place, used at e3 in order to show off the supers.

The Verge

"All-Stars is a real wild-card in my opinion, which is part of why I wanted to work on it," Killian continues. "It ignores a lot of conventional thinking about fighters, both in terms of how you win (no lifebars, only supers kill, regular moves build super meter) and in terms of execution.

death by super is the only playstyle, there's not % matches or lifebars in any mode

This is definitely good news for Playstation All Stars

it was pretty stupid for them to blatantly rip off smash (including tagging their initial youtube video as SUPER SMASH) and then remove one of the few parts of Smash that makes it fun and unique.

imo

Yeah.

Basically you hit people to build up your super, and your supers get more and more powerful as you go from 1-2-3 bars. One bar is generally just a "hey it's pretty much a melee attack that kills someone" to 3 bars which is "you are invincible and you have 10 seconds to one shot as many people as possible".

A couple characters have ways to steal meter, others build it faster, etc.

but you could only kill by using a super

I love how "death only by supers" is such a dumb mechanic that every single time it's brought up, people go "what, really?" and refuse to believe it.

I mean it was hard to believe when it was first announced, but then it was confirmed again at E3, and now again by Seth Killian. Same reaction every time.

That is how you know you f***ed up somewhere.

It's one thing to be like "What, death by supers? No way that's good"

and another for everyone who has played it to go "this system is dumb"

Which was the general consensus from a ton of people that played it at E3.

yeah. it's already a shameless ripoff - which is fine - but they really should have gone all the way. i'd rather have a fun game than one with a crippling mechanic in place to seemingly get away from smash comparisons.

To be fair, if I said there's a game out there where you can't die from chip and blocking blocks literally everything but the most extremely telegraphed moves EVEN IF YOU BLOCK IT AT THE WRONG HEIGHT, you probably wouldn't believe me, but it exists, and it's quite playable. (for the record, that's the Touhou fighters)

That being said, the general consensus from the people that played is it's pretty stupid, whereas lack of chip damage is easily missable in IaMP/SWR/Soku, so we'll have to see.

I thought the first one was okay to mess around with for a bit. It was neat to see a different style of fighter, at least.
