Dante vs Nariko is confirmed tho. The reason being that both characters have history with Ninja Theory; with Heavenly swords being developed by Ninja Theory and Devil May Cry being.. well... you know.

Maybe it's just that very few people know how to play Sly?

I don't even have a PS3 so I can't say for sure, but it just sounds like people aren't utilizing his gimmicks properly.

I'm doing a lot better as Parappa now, he has the best combos of anyone in the beta. Side Circle > Circle > Down Square > Up Square (Hold) > Circle > Square > Square. Try it!

I got a chance to try out Jak and Big Daddy yesterday... Jak seems really overpowered. Arc Weilder gives him 3/4 of a meter in one shot if timed right. All of his square moves seem to combo so easily. He just builds meter so fast that you'll reach level 3 possibly even faster than Kratos, and it is comparable to Kratos' level 3. His level 1 is good, too. Level 2 not so much, but it's so easy to build to it (Distance between 0 and 1 was about the same as from 1 to 2).
Big Daddy was just weird.. he's slow, doesn't build AP fast... square and triangle moves combo into each other nicely, and he has a decent AP gain move in his ground pound (Like DK), but I didn't reallt like him. Ice Plasmid is going to be very useful in the end. He's going to take a lot of effort to learn.

Sly's a trick. If you don't know how to use him, he's worthless. But if you can use him well, holy s*** he can wipe the floor with some dirty Kratos scum.

Gotta say though, turning invisible with him during a level three and watching the person aimlessly try to find you is the best thing ever. Especially if they never do find you

EDIT:

sweeeeet

Not sure if this has been said yet... 3 new mashups are known:

Black Rock Stadium - Jak 2, with Baron Praxis
Columbia - Twisted Metal, with Dollface in the Iron Maiden
San Francisco - Ratchet & Clank, with Dr. Nefarious

Only one not known is Invasion... I'm hoping for MediEvil or Fat Princess, but it'll probably be something like Uncharted...

Invasion mashup is Ape Escape

And holy s*** is that music good. Reminds me a ton of Crash Bandicoot. Shame it's not actually Crash Bandicoot >_>

Kratos vs Sackboy
That's a scary thought

Kratos is screwed.

Played a few more matches today.
-Fat Princess feels worthless. No offence
-Love PaRappa the rapper. Maining him with Sweet Tooth instead of Radec
-I can't dodge attacks with Sly. Another disadvantage to Sly Cooper
-Someone give Radec's sniper shot a freaking nerf!

I want to see Snake vs. Heihachi.

I enjoy this game a lot I am excited for the whole game.
Fat Princess is a great char.
Radec has some good set ups.
I can't really find anything wrong with the game.

Same. I thought it was a smash brothers clone at first but it really feels alot different

So guys, the public demo'll be available tommorow, right?

So, these 3 ads..

The Reload, The Arrival, The Aftermath. They all have references to franchises within PSASBR. However, the most interesting is in the last of the videos (Aftermath) - there is a tattoo of the name 'Boko' on the woman's foot. Boko is the name of a recurring chocobo after FFV.

Final Fantasy confirmed!?

I would like Cloud.
