Belt progression

Yo! We’re well into the second season of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and there are already some serious All-Stars out there wrecking shop online. You might have noticed some of the stronger players fitted with fancier Belts and Titles than others. Let’s shed some light on Belts!

Belts are used to determine which Titles you are awarded at the end of the season, and Belt Points are used to determine your Belt in any given season. The progression of Belts starts with White, followed by Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, Brown, then Black. The Black Belt is the baddest Belt of them all, and should be your goal every season if you want everyone to know that you mean business.

Thank you!

Yo! I hope everyone is as excited about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale’s release as we are! We want to take the opportunity this All-Star Tuesday to say that we couldn’t be more grateful for all the support and well-wishing we’ve received since the game was announced. An endless amount of blood, sweat, and tears (manly tears, mind you) has gone into making the game as enjoyable possible, so we hope everyone is having as much fun playing it as we do.

One of our greatest assets has always been our awesome fanbase. From the huge crowd that came out to the LA Beatdown event, to all the competitors that participated in our first tournament at New York Comic-Con, to all the people that came to the Sony press event in Toronto, to all the PSN users that helped us out by participating in the betas, we couldn’t help but feel the anticipation from the fans. Big shouts to the online community for all the support and for making my job easier by spreading the good word. Every forum post celebrating a new character, every fan Wiki entry, every weird Omar gif contributed to something greater than just the release of a new video game.

We would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our collective SuperBot hearts for sticking with us and believing in our vision. We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving, complete with full bellies and plenty of PASBR by the fireplace. And if you’re playing online and see a SuperBot, feel free to say hello (with a level 3 super)!

Beat the Clock Redux

Alright friends, it’s do-over time. Last month, players kupomogli and xTatsumaki were able to beat our own resident champ in a free-for-all match during our public beta. But next week… everything changes.

With the world premiere of PlayStation All-Stars on Tuesday and all twenty characters available to play, we again challenge you to try your hand at beating Community Manager, Daniel Maniago (aka Clockw0rk). Are you up for it? Can you BEAT THE CLOCK?

From 5:00 to 6:00 PM PST this Tuesday (11/20), Daniel will again be playing free-for-all matches on PSN under the name “Strider_Doom”. If you find yourself in a match with him and you WIN, then we’ll post that match on our official YouTube channel for your gloating pleasure. Good luck!

Beat the Clock [Updated]

Our LA BEATDOWN event last night was a huge success. The turnout was strong, the artwork amazing, and getting to meet all the awesome fans was a blast. You guys are the best! Thanks go also to the PlayStation team and our friends at iam8bit Productions for organizing and making it all possible.

Toward the end of the evening, some of the SuperBot team faced off against each other for some pretty epic matches. As you might imagine, our own Community Manager, Daniel Maniago (aka Clockw0rk) chalked up the most W’s and put the rest of us to shame. That got us thinking… Is there anyone better than Clockw0rk? Is he unbeatable? We thought it unfair to grant him such a lofty title without first giving the community a shot to take him down. So we hatched a quick plan to put him to the test:

Tonight from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM PDT, Daniel will be on PSN under the nickname “Strider_Doom” and playing random free-for-all matches. If you’re lucky enough to get matched with him and win, we’ll post the match on our YouTube channel so everyone can witness your greatness.

The public beta for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is available now on the PSN store. See you tonight!

[Update 11/1/12]: Long Boring story short, we had some technical difficulties on Thursday night and botched the video capture. In fairness, of the ten matches that Clockw0rk was able to log, he won all but two. Unbeatable? Nay. But don’t take our word for it. This challenge will be issued again for all to witness. We’ll let you know when.
