PlayStation Reaches The Semi-Finals Of Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament

As long as entering the tournament doesn’t give them any ideas of plagiarism.

This reminds me of that one time Matthew "Brawl In The Family" Taranto gave his Nintendo webcomic a PlayStation makeover as an April Fool's joke.

I still dream of Kratos and Master Chief joining Smash Bros roster.
That way you could have Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony fighting for real

I'm sure Sakurai got the same idea one day.
Did it went immediatly to the trash or not, is a story we won't have the answer soon I guess.

They will try but fail to win. Mainly, because they will look at the controller and be like crap which button is square, which button is triangle?! And then they will lose.

This reminds me when Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada entered was a surprise entrant in last year's EVO. Do you think that something like that could be happening?

I hate to read that. Sorry I'm a Sony hater. They screwed Nintendo over big time when they wanted all the profit of the (eventually) sold SNES disc drive games. I will never forget that.

Great, maybe they'll learn how to make a good fighting game in the process

@MaxlRoseGNR Why so bitter?

@MaxlRoseGNR historical revisionism huh? Bold move

@MaxlRoseGNR lol, you sound like me except I also blame them for the death of SEGA. Cheers to them burning in hell 😄👍

Karatos for smash?!

@Nomad I thank you so much! I also hate them for beating the Dreamcast up with the low cost DVD player that has been built into the PS2. Just take a look at my profile picture!

@MaxlRoseGNR yeah I noticed that. Loved my dreamcast. Sony can go die in a hole, I want SEGA back 😄

When Smash has better Playstation reps than Sonys on game 😂

I never thought I’d see the day when PlayStation squares up against the Japanese Patent Office (who yes, are genuinely competing) to take the crown in Nintendo’s premier fighting game, but if Mario vs. Sonic at the Olympic Games can happen, why not the PlayStation Pros vs. the Patent Powerhouse?

@MaxlRoseGNR You must have very little to worry about in life if you're still upset over something as stupid as that.

So....Kratos is DLC 5 confirmed?

Theorising about the extended Smash universe is old hat now. The future is theorising about which game devs would win in an alternate Smash reality. I'm putting money down on Kojima and the glorious degenerates behind Melty Blood.

Nintendo should really be included as a synonym for "fun" in standard thesauruses at this point.

@Nomad
Yeah, Sony tooooooootally killed the Dreamcast, it's not like Sega released tons of unneeded hardware, used outdated controllers, and poor marketing desicions before and as the Dreamcast came about.

Imagine getting mad a company for forcing your favorite company to back out of the console race because your favorite company mad some incredibly stupid decisions.

@Tantani from a once PlayStation exclusive........Jimmy Hopkins for Smash?

@Athodez Refusing to be third party for Sony isn't a bad move. Sony always wanted a monopoly on format and get money from every Mario and Zelda games sold. Other companies had to use format other than CD, DVD or blu ray to not have to pay big royalties to the control freak company Sony.

@Chibi chill cuz. I'm no sony fanboy but slandering them just because is stupid

@DockEllisD bruh

I'm no sony fanboy bit this is the most toxic comment section lile dang. Quit acting like we're are still in the 90s you boomers. All consoles are equal.

@MaxlRoseGNR that's sad bro lol

@MaxlRoseGNR Am I that one rare guy that likes both Sony and Nintendo? I was raised as a PlayStation kid, but Nin just has more of the games that appealed to me.

I feel like a few people are jumping the gun on this. Playstation participation in a smash tournament doesn't = Sony smash rep

@Zimon In a perfect world, yes.

@STEVEXSTEVE well there is Snake, he was also on Playstation in its early days, so that sort of counts.

@Dakotastomp I like Sony too. You can like Sony and dislike their petty methods to kill competition and gaming variety. When you see all Switch exclusives being review bombed and PS4 exclusives being not it's easy to figure where the smear campaigns come from.

@PickledKong64
Look at PlayStation all stars battle Royale or the PlayStation “move” or actually any number of things Sony ripped off from Nintendo then come back to me

@Chibi why do I need to come back to you you just listed them. Lol I'm just saying stop being butthurt console fanboy. We arent in any console wars it's not the 90s anymore

With this I'm kinda hoping Kratos gets in to Smash. It'd be cool to swap between the Leviathan Axe and the Blades of Chaos

Just think about that statement for a second.

Smash Ultimate is so big that tourneys are being held by companies and Nintendo's rival is in it.

@Xylnox Where is "cross"? I only see "X"!

@MaxlRoseGNR The licensing deal Sony wanted wasn't much different from what the Big N did to 3rd Parties at the time. Sony was just the 1st company to successfully clapback at Yamauchi when he tried to shake them down.

@Dakotastomp

I enjoy video games, no matter what system (and which company) they are, simply, game and fun. ^. ^

.
Being a Haters is something problematic for oneself, but also for others; I also (like everyone) do not like certain things (certain cartoons, certain games and even certain companies), but nevertheless I simply ignore what I do not like and avoid being a "party pooper" both for me and for others who like it those things. Why ruin the fun of others by commenting on my contempt for that something just because I don't like it? That, in my opinion, is annoying, unnecessary and, sorry for the words, sad and pathetic.

Negative viewpoints are bad. You a hater angary frown face >:[.

If you hate thing than u a bad man no live >:[[[[

/s

Why do people still reply to 12 year old deluded fanboys? Lol

Aloy in Smash plz, BOTW Link needs a "friend."

@PickledKong64
If anything, my list proves I’m not slandering them “just because “.

Sony: OK, we admit it, PS All Stars was terrible! Can we play Smash Bros?

Everyone: OK

@SakuraHaruka People need to be more open and accepting like you in every fandom. That's why I hope more sony naysayers will learn to give The Switch a chance.

@QueenKittenWrite

Well to be fair, one could say that maybe not a lot is going on with or in yours considering how invested & worried you are about what that stranger's worried about.

@Big-Pepsi your preaching to the choir mate, I've heard it all before.

@Dakotastomp

No, not really. As Snake has-been on Nintendo's platform well before sony even entered the fray. That's just more Konami representation.

@glaemay yeah Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding never got review bombed 🙄 and Nintendo fans totally didn't take down Jim Sterling's website because he gave BOTW a 7

@gameboy1975 I know he's been on Nintendo consoles long before, but he's one of the few fighters on the roster to be on all three consoles so it's as close as we'll get until Sony decides to play ball fairly.

Playstation has also taken over NintendoLife!! All I see is playstation games advertised on the sites backdrop, why??

@carlos82 It doesn't matter if big budget blockbusters like Horizon or Death Stranding get review bombed they will still sell millions. It's much more dangerous when it targets a niche game like Astral Chain. Nintendo is nice enough to not fund review bombing campaign against niche games like Persona 5 or Nier Automata, Sony has less scruple and target anything.

@glaemay do you genuinely believe Sony funded a review bombing of Astral Chain?

@Chibi They already did and it failed hard. PS All-Stars Royale on PS3/VITA.

@carlos82 Don't you remember the boycott campaign about Bayonetta 2? Not the first time Sony target Platinum.

Ha, who would've known that Playstation would've gotten that far. Good on them.

The Sony hate in the comments is real. Unlike the bitter people here, I need both Nintendo and PlayStation in my life. PS is slowly becoming Ninty in a sense with their brand and IP recognition albeit still faraway.

The fanboy nonsense in this comment section is real.

People can, and do, and (if they can afford to) should play games from a variety of gaming ecosystems.

@glaemay no, I remember some nutters saying they were going to kill themselves because it was on Wii U. I fail to see what that had to do with Sony though

Dang, Aloy versus Link would be awesome!

@Ventilator Oh, I didn’t realise it was a failure 🤣
I guess they won’t try it again then!

If this isnt an obvious wink at a Sony character as the final Smash Bros Ultimate dlc pack, then I dont know what it is.

Apparently they finally found greatness....
