Even more combo videos!

It’s time for another PS All-Stars combo video roundup, featuring some of the best community-made compilations we’ve seen lately. Some of these videos contain practical combos while others focus on pure style, but they’re all awesome!

PSASBR Dante HD Combo Exhibition by ProjectSeoul

Dante’s vast combo potential is on display in full force here, pushing the Infinite Avoidance System to the limit with his Ebony and Ivory attacks. With a large variety of platform-based setups and stylish editing to match, this is one of our favorite videos so far!

PSASBR Jak and Daxter Combos by Reaper142 and Ed1991X

Who says Jak doesn’t have combos? Here are seven minutes of midscreen combos, wall bounce combos, phantom wall combos, and everything in between—with some very creative uses of Jak’s air D+Circle as a juggle starter!

PSASBR Freeze Missile + Toro Combo Vid by Shinryu

If you haven’t tried making up Freeze Missile combos, this video shows just how much fun they can be! There’s so much cool stuff in it, and so many subtle stylish touches. Whiffing Toro’s divekick multiple times in the opposite direction (at 1:22) is way too clever.

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Community Combo Video

The editing in this video may be a little old school, but the content is top-notch. What started as a collaborative project between 30 players grew to contain over nine minutes of combos, featuring every character in the game!

Thank you once again to the PlayStation All-Stars community for your continued support and for making such amazing videos for us to enjoy!

Beat the Clock: Round 3

Hires_0015

It’s time for the next round of Beat the Clock!

On Tuesday, February 12, Kat from Gravity Rush and Emmett Graves from Starhawk will join the PlayStation All-Stars roster! To ring in this day, our Community Manager, Daniel Maniago (aka Clockw0rk) is once again taking challengers! Daniel will be playing free-for-all matches on PSN as “Strider_Doom” from 6-7PM PST.

He’ll be showing off all the new moves with Kat and Emmett, who—don’t forget—will be free to download for two weeks! If you find yourself in a match with Strider_Doom and win, we’ll post that match on our YouTube channel and you’ll be etched into PS All-Stars history!

Good luck!

Season 2 ends; 3 begins!

Daniel “Clockw0rk” Maniago
Community Manager

The famous Level Up crew will be hosting a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale 2v2 tournament at SoCal Regionals in Irvine next weekend from January 18-20th. Quite a few of us will be attending the event, including our Community Manager, Daniel Maniago. Come by and say hello if you happen to be in the area!

It’s not too late to pre-register at a discount to participate in the tournament, which is always a fun and thrilling experience. Plus you might get a chance to beat one of the SuperBot developers in the tournament! That would make a pretty good story, right? We’ll also have a few t-shirts to give away to random entrants, so you could go home with one of those as well.

Best of all, there will be stations set up for casual matches all through Friday and Saturday, so you can meet up with fellow PSASBR players and share strategies to try on the spot. In fact, if you can’t find a partner before the event, chances are you’ll be able to find one at the venue and register on-site.

Get there early and introduce yourself to whoever happens to be playing at the PSASBR area, make some new friends, and meet your competition. See you there!

More combo videos!

Are you ready for more mind-blowing Battle Royale combos?! Here’s another batch of awesome fan-made videos that were making the rounds at the office before the holiday break.

PlayStation All-Stars Toro Combo Video by Shinryu 

Toro is surprisingly versatile as a combo character, and this video does a great job of demonstrating some of his lesser-used abilities. It’s sharply edited and full of cool setups and stylish stance change combos!

PlayStation All-Stars Heihachi Combo Video by Noremac

Starting off with basic practical combos and gradually moving over to flashy impractical setups, this video proves what everyone already knows—Heihachi is a monster at close range!

PSABR Dante Combo Video by 10 Stars

As every Devil May Cry player will tell you, the goal isn’t just to win—you have to look good while doing it. The super-stylish crossup air F+Square to D+Circle combo at 0:50 has everything you could ask for from a Dante combo!

PSAS Fat Princess Combos | More Fat Princess Combos by Troof

For one reason or another, Fat Princess has always been one of the most underrated fighters on the roster since the very first time we showed the game in public. People continually overlook her incredible combo potential without giving her a fair shot. That’s why it’s so great to see dedicated players finally exploring her unique capabilities and showing how much fun she is to play!

Thanks again to the PlayStation All-Stars community for another batch of genuinely creative and thoroughly enjoyable videos. Keep ‘em coming!

Special announcement about this season’s belts

The current season will be extended into January to ensure that all end-of-season title issues are patched and resolved in all regions.
