[OLD] PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale - Caddicarus ft. Scott The Woz

this video has been brought to you today by skill show wait until the outtakes of this video to find out more I finally unlocked every single smash character and I beat classic mode with every single one of them plus it only took me eight hours to realize you can skip the credits sequence I think I'm ready to compete now ah hey y'all Scott here who are you talking to what's up well yeah I just finished off classic mode into my ultimate with every single character I'm ready to go for a few matches you want to join in I'll send you a copy of Wii Music & alcohol lots of alcohol great so it's settled then I hope you're ready for a but work with pink whoop Kiki Petty I don't want to play anymore [Applause] and it's a caddy I have a question for you yeah who is the best of the best of the best of the best no the best of the best of the best now with the extra of the best at the end what was the question because that is the very question that's only dared to ask on the back of the box for their 2012 sleeper hit on the PlayStation 3 part night battle a Kirby batter I have PlayStation all-stars battle royale and when we say sleeper hit we mean the I hit it in my sleep and it's also a game that many a moon ago I actually reviewed and spoke positively about it was the first ever episode of one of my old shows current quickies actually oh you mean the show that you did with that see your what are you doing I'm reminding myself to kill you if you ever say that again he or anyway playstation allstars is a strange strange game indeed if you couldn't tell by just looking at it this was so nice 13 year late response to Nintendo's highly successful and brilliant Super Smash Brothers series and oh boy does it feel like a 13 year late response complete with perhaps the same level of content that smashed one had on the n64 but to console generations higher however like I mentioned at the time it came out I really like this game I even gave it an 8 out of 10 so despite the laughing stock status this game has nowadays today I still revisited it in high hopes and what about you Scott Gani history with this ageless classic no he's somebody yes you know everybody has their PlayStation all-stars battle royale story I'm happy to have an outlet to let it all loose I remember hearing rumblings of the game when it was under the codename title fight and I still don't know which name for this game is worse pure concept of a Sony version of Smash Brothers was phenomenal if any company had a legacy of characters to combat Nintendo's sunny would lose but they definitely had some of the most iconic characters in all of gaming at their disposal I was still definitely interested to see where things we're heading with the game but just because it was a blatant copy of Smash Brothers didn't mean it couldn't have been just as fun or interesting as Smash Brothers when the game finally released in late 2012 I saw that final roster and those some what makes the positive reviews and said oh that's good I bought the game for $5 used and it makes for a great shelf piece right so let's get things started it can't be that bad surely we boots up the game and it looks like we have to wait an extra seven minutes before battle royale and caddy oh god damn it at least it's only an extra seven minutes though surely it'll be worth the way after all that here we go the main menu wait what's this knowing how to play will greatly improve the experience Oh like with anything would you like to go to the tutorial well I've played this many times before actually so I don't need to thank you Oh a caddy are you sure you don't want to play the tutorial that's pretty quick No thank you I'm totally fine thanks why was this so knowing how to play will greatly improve the experiment well are you sure you don't want to play the tutorial it's a bastard thing let me cancel it look at this come on what's the bloody point of asking me if I'd like to play the tutorial if you're not going to let me not play the tutorial fine if it's really that quick let's just get it over with then use the left stick or d-pad to move this is way too hard okay well aside from the obvious nonsense to be fair the reason they forced the tutorial on you is because the game is actually kind of all over the place with its controls moving around jumping grabbing items and guarding works fine enough but the barrier for entry for new players is way higher than something like smash brothers and smash brothers you move and jump with the sticks guard and dodge with right trigger and grab enemies or drop items with the left trigger and have two attack buttons so on four specials that also activates a final smash if you have one ready to go and the her standards which also picks up and uses items along with this using a special attack button with every different direction gives you a different attack which usually have similar effects over certain characters depending on the direction and using the regular attack bun while Jim in a direction on the state gives you a powerful charge smash attack in that very same direction now I know we just made it sound more complicated than Kingdom Hearts but trust me this all feels totally natural during the chaos of Smash Brothers it's really stripped back and you can figure out all of this stuff on your own because it just feels right it doesn't overdo the controls to make sure that anybody can pick up and play it but makes it responsive and fast enough that only a select few can master it in PS Allstars though every character has completely random attacks with two separate special attack buttons that often don't correlate or have any logical reason to be partnered with the direction that you press the only one remaining consistent being the attack button this makes remembering even just a few of the unique attacks for each character much more difficult than it has any right to be when you're in the middle of something like this and not Michael Jackson bad ok maybe Michael Jackson back well figuring all this out you also try getting your head around the trigger button instead of single left and right commands to work with for something easy to access and remember along with both triggers on each side activating the same command you need to use l1 for guarding and dodging more remembering that l2 is tana make sure to grab items with r1 instead of the basic attack button which you then have to press to use the item and then I want again to trap the edimar remembering that the right stick is used to grab enemies for even more attacks that would normally be the same as the drop item button in Smash Brothers on the trigger and be careful not to waste one of your incredibly valuable super attacks you spend the whole match charging up with the r2 button what we're getting at is that this game is Smash Brothers but worse we're like two peas in a pod aren't we I hate these okay let's pull this back a bit here's the main menu again well it's a menu the desserts are fantastic it's as basic as you can get for a party fighter like this and there isn't much to mention with it as the solo mode for arcade matches and practicing and a customization menu where you can unlock like one additional costume by playing the game or by buying the costume separately and a tournament mode for online competitive play okay that sounds fun let's go and check that out yeah that's a great idea oh really why because nobody oh [ __ ] consider me another one of those non online players look I can't even access the online mode last time I played this was when ps3 online was free but I guess that will change with ps4 online being locked out by getting a subscription to PS Plus agent was more like police station subtract typical police agent user gets locked out of online because he needs a subscription can't wait to play some good old-fashioned Nintendo switch games online for freedom and what about this roster right isn't it average to start with even with the additional DLC characters the amount of fighters for a ps3 game is less than what super smash brothers melee had on the Gamecube but as far as the choices of the characters go themselves Mary could have been worse I guess but it certainly could have been better the only ones I have major issues with our evil core McGrath from infamous because he is exactly the same as normal comic rough but just with us Dante because I have no idea why they didn't just use classic Dante from the original Devil May Cry whose games were ps2 exclusive and Fat Princess because why this is like the PlayStation classics game line up in the form of a fighter roster like there are elements of the PlayStation legacy here but in the end half of these character pics feel like marketing tactics K ready for the most off-the-wall thing you'll ever hear in a PlayStation all-stars review compare this to smash brothers in Smash Brothers for 3ds and Wii U they picked a Mega Man in pac-man as the two third-party characters in the base game and even with smash ultimate we have simon belmont these picks didn't feel like marketing tactics mainly because when they were added to smash none of these characters had huge games on the horizon they were added because fans wanted them and the pure legacy of the characters not because of some new games they had coming out you can play his new job site non-stop I don't know why anybody would want to play his Big Daddy one in the intro he gets destroyed by Sackboy dropping a banana peel it's not why rapture isn't complete ruined for all the big daddies I don't know balls with banana peels and what do you do when intended takes your most popular character from another series use the other one that nobody likes we've managed to avoid drowning both okay we can't play the game together online so what can we do I really don't care well thanks look this was your idea I'm just here to drink well in that case the story mode Oh God so we've already covered what a pain in the arse it is to remember all the different random special moves for each character and how they often don't correlate to the direction you press when you just want to jump into a party match but to be fair the game at least works well once you get your head around all the different triggers and buttons it's not broken it just makes you want to play smash instead I mean a lot of it does amount to just mashing every button on the controller until your fingers go green and scabs peel off but at least it functions if you happen to be all alone while your running around beating up a serial killer clown as a cartoon rapping dog he can choose to participate in the story mode sequences for each character where all you do is look at still images for an intro and then go from one match to the next winning either by getting the highest score after three minutes or by being the first person to reach three super-move knockouts wait that's a supermoon knockout kenny hold me oh oh it's alright come here then that's better yeah wait how did you feel that you don't know so a super-move knockout is what happens when you engage in successful combat by landing combos and special hits you build up your AP meter slowly through the match until you charge it to fall which then by hitting r2 allows you to do a super move to one-hit kill any enemy on the screen and give yourself a point if you land it the more powerful the basic attack you do the more your meter goes up if you connect you've got some moves that will even remove the AP charge from other opponents to give you a chance to steal it and there are even some boxes to break in the stages sometimes containing more ap for you and you can charge your AP meter up to three times for even more powerful finishing moves with the level three charge attack being essentially a guaranteed knockout sometimes even multiple knockouts which is a good thing because the more basic the charge attack these are it is to dodge or have interrupted by other players this sounds like a good risk and reward system for players and one try filling their meter and using it before time is up while avoiding other people killing them but as you'll soon discover this does have a major flaw that eventually ruins so many matches well keep your pants on tight we haven't gotten to that bit of the video yet you scamp I think my favorite thing about the game though are the stages I mean yeah there's only 18 stages including DLC and one exclusive flat stage only for story mode which again is much smaller and number compared to super smash melee but the way you'll be just going about your business and have a stage invaded by another game series to give you even more hazards to avoid is a really cool idea god of war being invaded by Patapon ape escape being invaded by resistance parappa the rapper being invaded by Killzone uncharted being invaded by Bioshock hell even loco Roco being invaded by Metal Gear Solid it's creative and charming and makes the matches that much more entertaining which is good because in terms of designs many of these stages play out the same way mostly fly with a couple of platforms and aside from the invasion hazards there isn't much else surprising besides that well you got to admit it's all worth it to see Kratos my god of war standing in the middle of loco ro : with singing blobs and smiley face Hills as he turns to the camera and says perfect and in terms of looks well it looks fine I mean many areas do look a little too blurry and lifeless in terms of color when they really shouldn't like with the jak and daxter stage but it does the job I suppose it kind of takes the Crash Team Racing approach or getting originally high detailed models of recognizable characters and completely by typing them in order to fit everything in the game to make it run at 60fps and I'm really glad they did that for the sake of the fast gameplay but it also means that Nathan Drake looks like a Gerard Butler was made of cheese I agree it's passable and works fine enough but characters definitely don't have the same polish as they do in their original games every character has at least one or two little problems with their character design that makes them just look really cheap and the design of the menus scream royalty free desktop wallpaper the visuals aren't terrible but they just don't feel like they have a ton of love put into them oh yeah Scott the walls are very same Scott the walls with the tiny little snores it's not that small I was a computer player crap I swear there was absolutely no balance in this game when it comes to how the enemies behave for this video I did the story mode a few times with different characters on normal and hard mode and even still I was having some of the beginning levels kick my hairy ass while I breezed through the late-game stages and even the other way around even at the final parts of the game sometimes it was totally brutal and other times it was a complete joke and the difficulty level didn't seem to matter what's going on here you can even get away with looping the opponent's into a juggle they can't handle it you know you guys can double jump away from us or air dodge or attack or bigger something else I personally don't like is how item grabbing works in this game in Smash Brothers you see an item hit the normal attack button and grab it immediately here there's this really irritating delay to picking things up which leaves you totally vulnerable for vital milliseconds combine this with a pitiful amount of randomly generated items to play with and I find myself not ever going for them and as I know I'm 100% safe to do so and while on the topic of delays to actions sir Daniel Fortescue sir Daniel Fortescue what in God's green abominable earth did they do to you in this game one of the most adorably lovable and iconic PlayStation characters has been reduced to a guy that has basically no majorly powerful attacks to charge his meter that quickly yet compared to other fighters really slow activations of those low damage attacks Big Daddy is slow but he hits like a truck ride and is really fast but he chip damages so what went wrong with poor old I mean even if you managed to finally charge your super attack meter to level one you know the only way you're gonna get a point check out how useless it is how much more situational could that possibly be this shows off a fundamental flaw in how the game actually plays by relying entirely on types of attack that have to hit opponents that charge your meter Sir Dan is not built for this kind of game because of how sluggish he is with attacks now slowly his meter goes up falling to then have his only chance to get a point wasted by it listen make some characters like Sly Cooper broken in comparison since his level 1 super attack is extremely fast extremely wide and extremely far-reaching plus all of his basic and special attacks are fast powerful and ferried for singular enemies and groups he can rack up the points ridiculously fast with him while Sir Dan as left beyond where he belongs and rotting in the ground and this brings us to the rival battles in the story mode and how much they suck because of this design choice now I hope you will listen to Scott when he told you to keep your pants on because this is the bit of the video he was telling you to wait for I didn't listen in concept I love the rival battles they make no goddamn sense at all and a feverishly entertaining there's one wood sat down going head-to-head with the kernel of the hell cast in Killzone and check out this rubbish and Kratos his story oh scream come stand up and pee for the rest though complete tops I'm sorry this is the most boring and worst part of the game by far the idea here is to knock out your opponent three times before they get you three times fine in concept but when the entire core of the game is based on building up a meter to activate a finishing blow you end up going around and around in circles for minutes on top of minutes because you can both dodge through finishes jump over finishes and interrupt finishes meaning that you used up all of your AP charge that you spent all the match charging up and need to essentially start the fight from scratch until you get a second chance to kill the opponent that you could just as easily miss to give you more of a chance of hitting the opponent you could wait for higher-level super attacks but with many characters this still doesn't guarantee a point because they can still be avoided and only a few other characters like hey Hachi have level 3 smashes not automatically knock out everyone on screen without you needing to do anything by even if they all had a final super attack that acted like this you still need to wait a ridiculous amount of time to charge and activate it three times in a row without your opponent getting you first there's no tension to be had here whatsoever it's not like once again Smash Brothers with its one-on-one fights where it's never about how many hits you land or charging a major to press another button and hope you get a point that determines the outcome of every match fighting and items in Smash Brothers only helps you win a match but you still need to get your opponent out of the stage based on how well you attacked them with your body and other items that pop up to lower their weakness and make them more susceptible to flying out of bounds with your smash attacks which unlike PS all-stars super attacks can be done whenever you want however many times you want if you're really good you can win a match of smash while your enemy is at minimum percentage weakness and while you're on the highest percentage weakness based on how well you can keep them off the center of the stage and force them out of bounds and so if you're battling someone and both on ridiculously high level percentage weaknesses it then becomes much much easier for either of you to fly away with a pathetic attack and you feel the pressure as you know that any moment one hit can end either of you the whole mood of the match in Smash Brothers are vowels as your weakness percentage goes up and forces you to think differently about how you attack and defend yourself as it all progresses here you just beat each other up until a bar is charged then hope you hit the other person and repeat that's the only dynamic at work here since it's the only way to gain points so if a computer player can feel like they're reading your mind you'll be stuck here forever all the dreamy foxes how does he look so good you know what I'm totally bored out of my mind with this and the bland empty stage is certainly not helping I'd rather listen to James Hetfield singing Mary Poppins then takes us to the final boss of Arcade Mode but what's he called alright huh polygons man I mean yeah he is a load of polygons what else would you call him at least he isn't as unimaginative as T pop or actually caddy did you know this guy was Sony's first original mascot for the PlayStation 1 he was rejected by PlayStation creator ken Kutaragi after you didn't like how he was shaded and then ended up being replaced by other PlayStation mascots much like some of the fighters he can play as in this game so way he's the final boss in this game because PlayStation rejected him for literally any other character and he's all pissed off about it and wants to get rid of all the other mascots oh well yeah ok that's brilliant it's just a shame that the fight itself is easy the worst part of the game though this ain't no Master Hand no sir you don't even really fight him you just super attack all his minions that you've already fought over a dozen times up to this point and then he firmly place his stupid face into the arena and patiently waits for you to poeple Pinkle picks him back to where he came from this is then capped off by finishing the story mode with even more stale and boring still images for some reason and then everything just stops what a weird K for some bizarre reason for that extra cherry on the cake of mediocrity recording any footage of this game longer than half an hour long glitched up my Elgato software and caused it to process the recording for an hour longer than what it would usually take otherwise meaning that between each story mode I was stuck and unable to do anything with the game until it finished as a clerk pooping how for Betty spaghetti no I dunno this is mostly a problem with the HDMI split or I have for my ps3 to bypass the HDCP setting so I can record from my ps3 in the place but I'm gonna pretend it's the games fault because that's funnier and after all of this I go to record another story mode to see more awkward still images fight the worst phone a boss in fighting game history and then get told [Music] why is he so surprised about that he didn't even last a week before his own creators canned him furthermore I've beaten him four times alone for this video is he missing a few polygons well to be fair he had be surprised if you beat me at something well you know what Scott you're annoying you know what else is annoying blood clot that's who you are plot the was Scott the clot the clothes off with something remotely positive though well I do really admire how the game released at the time with a cross by and cross play feature for the PS Vita this was an awesome idea and it was also available with Sly Cooper four before Sony forgot the Vita even existed I'm not bitter you not only got a free downloadable Vita version of the game with the ps3 version but also got the chance to battle other people on ps3 matches but with your Vita this is like prototype Nintendo's switch levels of cool but in the end that's all we'd both rather play on the Nintendo switch I mean yeah we've joked and roasted this game for all it does pretty average Li and how blatant it isn't trying to clone Smash Brothers but with weird changes to the gameplay that make it slightly worse but I personally don't think this is one of the worst things I've ever played it's alright but it's not something I have any interest in ever revisiting and when all is said and done even though I've been a huge PlayStation fan since I was four years old I'd rather just play Smash Brothers so I guess that makes the game a failure in my eyes whatever the case there's only so many times I can pitch like the God of War heihachi mishima and a big Daddy while playing as a kitten and LittleBigPlanet land before I want to go back to smash Ultima and have babies with King K rool in his great golden toy playstation allstars wasn't a bad idea far from it just because it's copying Smash Brothers doesn't mean it couldn't copy it well with it's stupid mechanics bland presentation and whatever character roster all-stars while not terrible will always be labeled as a poor-man's Smash Brothers sometimes I look back on myself from a few years ago and think why did I say that why did I do that and giving possessor an 8 out of 10 is definitely one of those things that I regret I mean it's not awful but it's not particularly good either I can't be too hard on myself though I mean I actually like beyond to sold when that game first came out that was a dark period in my life speaking of dark periods I have to go to the bathroom what you think I know how to end the video

Two of my favourite YouTuber’s in one video?

This truly is awesome, Baby!

[u/Xakk]

Scott the Clot.

[u/gabriel_sub0]

Oh wow,they have a pretty interesting dynamic together,at least compared with his other colabs:

• Antdude is a bit of a punching bag when collabing with caddy,although he actually provoques caddy a few time.
• gilly actually has a good banter going with him,both annoy each other and that's pretty fun to watch
• johnny and caddy bounce really well without feeling like any joke is at the other's character expense.

Scott seems to have something similar to johnny but cott seems....weirdly passive. It's fun and interesting tbh.

[u/AntonRX178]

Still not on his main channel so I still say we turn this into a NakeyJakey sub

[u/SlayerJim]

Glad to see that he is playing with the big bois now

[u/Shrekt115]

Caddy & Scott is like PB&J

[u/Zenderman12]

Glad to see he hasn't abandoned us

[u/deamonslayer3215]

So is this Canon in the scott the woz timeline

Great video, they had really good on-screen chemistry.

Especially enjoyed the outtakes at the end
