PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale (often abbreviated "PSABR") is totally not a balantant ripoff of the Smash series, perpitrated by Superbot Entertainment. Its name was leaked by PlayStation Lifestyle because I guess they couldn't keep their fat mouths shut about this totally awesome new Sma--I mean Playstation game.
It is especially different from Smash due to its embarassing cast of only 28 characters (did you guys seriously only pick one or two characters per franchise? Lazy, so lazy), as opposed to Smash 4's 55. Also unlike Smash, up to four players can participate in a match in which they pick different PlayStation characters, each with their own abilities and stuff, to battle it out in a universe-themed stage. It's totally different, just trust me. After all, Each time an attack connects, the user gains AP (All-Star Power, because ynot) in their "super bar". When the super bar is filled, characters can use their final smash Super Moves, which are the only methods of getting a KO (which means this game also rips off Shrek Super Slam, congratulations). That's right, it's not so much like Smash now, right? right? It's smash but worse, don't play this garbage.
