User blog:BMHKain/My ideas for PSAS: Round 2 (WIP!)

Hello, this is BMHKain (BTW my name is NOT Kain.), and IF you're here; I'll warn you now: All characters mentioned will have a rating of probability as too if they'll make it or not; as well as their Rivals (Whom will also be mentioned.). Also, I will only showcase characters that either I like, or are popular by Playstation Standards... Finally, don't worry, I'll mention some Third Parties as well; It shouldn't just be SCEI Games.

But First: I'll talk about how the gameplay should perform...

First, and most obvious, because of how small the stages were in Battle Royale, the 4 Player MAX rule will persist. If there will be Health Bars, Having one layer just won't cut it. At least 2 Layers might do the trick due to all attacks doing some kind of damage (Lv 1.s for instance would do 50% overall damage to the overall health bar of damage opponents, thus removing a layer.). 3minutes would be extended to 5minutes due to games usually taking a long time to score points, but hey, at least Lv. Accumulation will stay the same; meaning more time to get those Lv 3s. Some characters, like Cole MacGrath will be updated with concepts that alter the character, gameplay-wise. In Cole's case, Depending on the way you fight, Cole can be good or evil, thus combining the two fighting styles together. Now, I have an Idea for Fat Princess' NEW Rival, but I'll mention her later. For now, Let's kick ass and chew bubblegum! And I- Wait; wrong franchise.

NOTE: This is how the 5 Point System works:


 * 5: Indefinite
 * 4: Pretty Good
 * 3: Plausible
 * 2: Not Good, Dude.
 * 1: Nigh Impossibibble

With that said, let's begin with a character everyone wants... For some reason...

DART FELD



RED DRAGOON SOUL INCARNATE

Dart Feld is the main Protagonist of The Legend of Dragoon, and would've been character of Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale according to concept art released shortly before Superbot Productions had their ties cut by SCEI.

THE LEGACY OF DART FELD
 * The Legend of Dragoon (PS1) (1999-2001)

Dart Feld is a character that has been requested since Title Fight Days, and after Concept art was released revealing him, People petitioned to put him in with Abe as a Rival. However, Neither character had anything to do with each other. Dart would have Limited Flight capabilities, use his fists and sword, and would join the ranks of Kratos, Kat & Dusty, and even Sackboy, who was previously unplayable. His supers would even trump Kratos; Adding a new tier normally found on the VS Battle Wiki: The God Tier Ranking. Indeed, if Dart is done right, he'll be THE character to play as...

But What about his rival? Well, let's check the Facts: People usually want Dart Paired with Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy VII. However, Yasuyuki Hasebe; The Director/Writer for Legend of Dragoon wasn't involved in any FFVII media, and Tomokazu-san didn't voice Cloud either. This info alone proves Cloud Should be a rival for someone else...

I, however can think of someone better, and is Playstation related as well. Before We get there, let's check the possibilities of Dart possibly being in Round Two...

DmC Dante: C'mon! Round 2!


 * 4: Pretty Good

With the game rereleased as a Game Archive in Japan in 2010, PSone Classic in USA 2011, AND 2012 in Europe, Nostalgia has returned to Playstation. Yoshida Shusei-sama must care a lot for his fans because if anyone still cares, Any game that was re-released by the time the PS4 was released is up there as a character that needs to make the cut. It's only level 4 because of how long since this game has been rereleased; the PS4 is NOT PSone Classics compatible, and one would rather play a PS2 Classic on PS4 as of now... The game was also released first in Japan in 12/2/1999; 3/4/2000; The PS2's JP Release was just Weeks away at the time...

Now for Dart's Rival. His name is...

RUDY ROUGHNIGHT



THE BOY WHO CAN DELIVER A DEADLY BLOW WITH A SMILE'

Rudy Roughnight Is the Main Protagonist of the First WILD ARMS game, and its remake; Alter Code: F. To celebrate his then, Tenth anniversary, he made a Cameo Appearance in WILD ARMS 5 as a NPC, and before that as a Special Attack in WILD ARMS 4.

THE LEGACY OF RUDY ROUGHNIGHT
 * WILD ARMS (PS1) (1996-1998)
 * WILD ARMS: Alter Code: F (PS2) (2003-2005 (Never released in EU.))
 * WILD ARMS 4 (Cameo) (PS2) (2005-2006)
 * WILD ARMS 5 (Cameo) (PS2) (2006-2008)

If you check out LeeHatake (Yes, you deserve a shout out on this.)'s deviantART page, you'd know we would indefinitely agree Rudy should be the one true rival to Dart. Just like Last Decade when WILD ARMS 5 was released, the franchise has now entered what will eventually be in its 21st anniversary. And While there has yet to be a WILD ARMS 6, Rudy still remains the greatest WILD ARMS Protagonist ever, rarely ever frowning, but will shoot to kill if possible. As a fighter he will have an arsenal of all his favorite Weapons and Gadgets, including his ARM; a Gun developed by monsters to attempt to wipe out humankind. Rudy would be a character that has a Sanity Meter when using his ARM freely; a nod to the original game. And while this kid's Smile is affectionate, yes; it's only a distraction for him to kill you.

RIVAL
 * Dart Feld

CONNECTION: Both characters have been known by JRPG aficionados as some of the greatest Protagonists that aren't from a SQUARE based game. They are both known for a kind of weapon that is the focus of their respective Franchise (Dart is the wielder of the Red Dragoon Spirit (And eventually the Divine Dragoon Spirit.), where Rudy wields the ARM during a time that resembles the Old West. (The sequels are either Sci-Fi, takes place in another Dimension, or is even a true sequel for the most part, though this is rare.)), Ironically, WILD ARMS was one of the first JRPGs and Legend of Dragoon is one of the last before the release of the Playstation2 respectively.

So... What are Rudy's chances?

Kat: Yaaaaaah! HAI! HAI!!! YAH!!!


 * 5: Indefinite

With WILD ARMS 3 available for PS4, and PS3 (But PS4, most notably...) Worldwide as of 5/17/16, AND WILD ARMS 5 available in Japan as of 2016, The community would LOVE to see Rudy fight one last time against Dart; the ultimate RPG Rivalry... Not to mention, it doesn't appear so at first, but WILD ARMS fans worldwide are already celebrating 20 years of Badassery, Heart, Rudy Roughnight cosplaying, and even a community that's equally willing to petition Rudy Roughnight, as Legend of Dragoon fans would with Dart Feld... Plus, the fact that number 3 was released more recently than 2, or even the original already gives this enough reason to be on the top, but Rudy himself deserves a special mention as if one more WILD ARMS game gets released on PSN, it would signal the Green Light for Rudy to be allowed in ROUND 2, NO MATTER WHAT. Even IF it's the crappy remake, it would still give WILD ARMS the green light it needs...

Our next combatant has only recently resurfaced after The Last Guardian's release. While he's inferior to Ico, He still killed many dark giants in order to resurrect his lover. He FAILED. He is...

WANDER



IN AWE OF POWER

Wander is the Main Protagonist of Shadow of the Colossus, and the Protagonist of the Sequel released before so ICO as the title Character. While The Last Guardian is also from the ICOverse, the game has no relevance to either game.

THE LEGACY OF WANDER
 * ICO (PS2) (2001-2002)
 * SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS (PS2) (2005-2006)
 * ICO & SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS COLLECTION (PS3) (2011)

While ICO is clearly the superior game, SHADOW OF THE FREAKIN' COLOSSUS had better ideas for the game, and yet it's still up to date as to whether or not SOTC has an alternate ending where Wander actually lives, and the guards don't escape in time as a result of their demise... Regardless, Wander-no... Ico-no! Whatever you call this guy would be a tour-de-force in Round 2. Horseback on Agro, a Variety of Arrows, even being able to transform into Dormin's Physical Form, and finally learning the ins and outs as to how to truly win SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS. Looking back, it truly was an emotional experience, and regardless of opinion: No ICO, nor The Last Guardian will EVER beat the Emotional Roller Coaster Ride/Giant Killer Simulator of sorts that is SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS!!!

So... What are Wander's chances?

DmC Dante: C'mon! Round 2!


 * 4: Pretty Good

While Ico has better chances in being in ROUND 2, Wander is EASILY the better character. And with The Last Guardian coming this Holiday, Wander EASILY gets the Green Light as with Ico. But there's a reason why Both Coles should fight Raiden instead; but in this case, it should be noted that because Wander & Ico are technically the same person, You can't have one WITH the other (Young Nathan Drake was an exception since he was just a Minion.). We'll leave it up to SONY to decide...

While Wander is indeed awesome as a hero, his rival, only recently, had a game. But it was originally a famous anime with a parody series... Can't quite put a number on it? Maybe this will help...

EREN YEAGER



SURVEY CORPS' PRIMARY TITAN SHIFTER

Eren Yeager is the Main Protagonist, and Anti-Hero of ATTACK ON TITAN, ATTACK ON TITAN: Middle School, Spoof on Titan, The Live Action Movie Adaptation, ATTACK ON TITAN: Humanity in Chains, and last but also the source to be used, ATTACK ON TITAN (the game.)

THE LEGACY OF EREN YEAGER
 * ATTACK ON TITAN (Anime: 2013-Onward) (Manga: 2006-Onward)
 * ATTACK ON TITAN: Middle School (Anime: 2015-2016) (Manga: 2012-2016 (No EU for now.))
 * Spoof on TITAN (Anime: TBA) (Manga: 2013-2014 (JP only for now.))
 * ATTACK ON TITAN: Harmony in Chains (3DS) (2013-2015)
 * ATTACK ON TITAN: The Movie/ATTACK ON TITAN: End of the World (Both: 2015-2016 (No EU Release, for now.))
 * ATTACK ON TITAN: The Game (Windows/PS3/PS4/PSVITA/XBOX1) (2016)

As ALL Attack on Titan fans know: Eren Yeager had the wish of a lifetime to join the Survey Corps. But his young age, and low liked personality prevented this. As a Titan Shifter, he was hated more. Was he ever respected by even one person in the MULTIVERSE!?

...

yes.

Mikasa Ackerman saw potential in Yeager and wished to help him out, even during the court case near the end of SEASON ONE. Currently, Yeager's status is alive; but he could NEVER survive an execution by court case with everyone against him; IT WAS JUST LIKE THE SERIES FINALE OF SEINFELD!!! His abilities would be based on his combat experience as a member of the Millitary he resides in. As a result, He'll have Quasi-Limited Flight via his jetpack, and his twin blades will be used for his weapons of choice. But he can also become A Titan as his Lv. 3 Super, blasting foes to bits. While the franchise has been going around for 7 years minimum, it still stands as one of the greatest, most memorable franchise in JP History.

RIVAL
 * Wander

CONNECTION Both characters are Synonymous with the idea of Tragic Hero (Wander wanted to resurrect his lover: Mono, who ultimately raised him as Ico after Wander died from the Colossi's Darkness, and Eren Yeager had to go through endless mental and emotional torture in order to become part of the Survey Corps (Albeit, getting his ass whooped by his enemies (They were NOT allies to him.)...).), Both franchises have an expanded lore that expanded the respective verses (The ICOverse had ICO, SHADOW OF THE COLLOSUS, and The Last Guardian. ATTACK ON TITAN had several Light Novels, Satire Manga, Among Several others.). Finally, both had fought Giant Entities in battle before (Wander with the Colossi, and Yeager with the Titans.); Ironically, Eren Yeager can just simply bite his hand HARD to become a Titan Shifter.

What are Eren's Chances? I'll Give you a hint: It takes  FOUR  to tango with this one...

Raiden: NOW I'M PISSED!


 * 1: Nigh Impossibibble

Let's start with the obvious first: ATTACK ON TITAN originated as a One-Shot Manga in 2006 before becoming a full-fledged manga in 2009 by Hajime Isayama; someone who most likely would require an Interpreter, a la Kazunori Yamaguchi BEFORE making the next step to put the Videogame Version of him as a result. If Isayama-san says no, Eren Yeager is forever removed from the cast. IF Tecmo+Koei (Whom had no support for the first game in the past.) says no, the same results apply when Isayama says no. Even when BOTH say yes (Which, BTW is Naught but an OUTRIGHT lie.), The creators of Round 2 have to be unanimous with the choice of actors; the last step. Gaming's Supreme Court. Their Final Say... Yuki Kaji; the Japanese Role, or US Dubber for the FUNIMATION Dub: Bryce Papenbrook. The worst part is that neither have any interest in a Round 2, after BATTLE ROYALE's Fated Failure. If mental math serves me right, there is a 1 in 18,009,517,471 chance Eren will make it; Which is, ironically the same number to call on the phone to order Slap-Chop. Even crazier, Vince Shlomi, the guy who once marketed this was arrested in February 7, 2009, TEN DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY for Assault and Battery. But I digress. even if all that was done, Omega-Force (Stylized as ω-force) would say no as the DYNASTY WARRIORS series is dying, and rival franchises like Sengoku BASARA are ultimately taking the throne of Hack & Slash. Many other franchises by them already had suffered enough, thus putting the final nail in the coffin of Eren Yeager's chances in making it to ROUND 2. Same for Kenshiro, EVERY Manga Character, amongst anyone that was an anime character.

(sigh)

Shit... That was long... Moving on!

VIBRI



WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!

Vibri is the main character of Vib-Ribbon & Vib Ripple. In Vib Ribbon, she has to go through a Mobius Strip esque fusion of Rhythm Game, and platformer. In Vib-Ripple, she has to jump on pictures to collect items. Vibri is created by the same group behind PaRappa the Rapper, and UmJammer Lammy, which takes place in the same universe as PaRappa the Rapper.

THE LEGACY OF VIBRI
 * Vib-Ribbon (PS1) (1999-2000 (Re-Released in the US in 2014))
 * Vib-Ripple (PS2) (2004 (JP-Only))

While Vib-Ribbon came out nearly 3 GENERATIONS AGO, Vibri is still widely considered by Playstation fans around the world as a Hyperactive, Cute, Insane Bunny that stood the test of time. When people still had a PS3 (It's also compatible with the PSVITA. Don't Worry.), in 2014, SCEA read the requests of many, many users of PSN, and decided to release Vib-Ribbon to the PSone Classics once and for all. It took SONY 14 years of people importing the PAL version, but they finally did it. Not only did the game stand the test of time, but it also had a character that could use a wide variety of tools, such as her princess form, an obstacle course for her Lv. 3, and even a shout out to games like Arcana Heart 3's Eko, and Touhou Project's Suika Ibuki as she tramples down opponents as Super Vibri (Vib-Ripple reference.). But all that power will come at a price; In order to play as her, you'd have to already be good at playing as her. Otherwise, she'll get significantly weaker from a frog, to worm, then DEAD. She'll be very strong, but, you know Spider-Man's catchphrase, right?

What are Sp- erm... Vibri's chances though?

DmC Dante: C'mon, Round 2!


 * 4: Pretty Good

When Title Fight was Confirmed under the name of PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS BATTLE ROYALE, Parappa was already confirmed, meaning NanaOn-Sha must've had full support with Superbot. Even with NAUGHTY DOG rumored to announce the sequel, NanaOn-Sha also had plenty of Minions to use as DLC. With so much support for PaRappa the Rapper, and even UmJammer Lammy, not to mention Vib-Ribbon's USA release on a previous year not too long ago, It's more than plausible for Ol' Vib-tan to make it; though I'd suggest old school PS1-style visuals for Vibri as a tribute to the original game. It isn't any higher due to Foxy of Five Nights at Freddy's being in cringe inducing Fan-Art with Vibri. Internets, you should be ashamed for merging one of the best PS1 characters with friggen Sonic the Hedgefox.

So who is Vibri's Rival? Well, she's part of the Vocaloid series of YAMAHA programs, and has been part of the Videogame craze since SEGA knew her franchise was being imported, thus is highly successful in America as well! Her name is the one and only...

MIKU HATSUNE



CUTE VOCALOID SENSATION!!

Miku Hatsune is the primary character representing the Vocaloid YAMAHA Program, and the main character of the Project: DIVA series of Rhythm games. Both are still going on to this day...

THE LEGACY OF MIKU HATSUNE
 * Niconico (Formerly Nico Nico Douga) (Online Site) (2006)
 * VOCALOID 2 (PC) (2007)
 * Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA (PSP) (2009 (JP Only))

 * Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X (PS4) (2016)
 * Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Sound & Colorful Tone Future Sound & Colorful Tone (PS4 So far...) (2016 (JP Only for Now...))

NOTE: The rest of the other appearences don't count as the character herself doesn't make an appearance; rather, her aesthetics do instead. Her Cameos in Anime/Manga Don't count either. Same For PANGYA, which will have it's servers shut down in December. In addition, Miku Hatsune shouldn't be confused with BLACK ROCK SHOOTER, whom the only connection is that the two have is that Miku made her theme, and it became so much of a success, an OVA was released shortly after. (Phew...) That's a Mouthful, alright. Let's get to the profile!

Let's Get the OBVIOUS out of the way: Miku-chan will indefinitely have the Most Costumes in the whole game. Miku is the target of many Japanese-Related Traditions, from Sapporo of the North with the Yuki Mikus, to even Racing events that put GRAN TURISMO to shame, Miku Hatsune is a total Cosplaying Idol; and if she makes the cut, so will all of her favorite gladrags. But it's her possible fighting style that'll put Whole Playstation Worlds under her control. Her Leek would be used as an unorthodox blade, but it's her music that'll shut even the other few but proud females to shame. Her most potent super will be her Lv. 1, which is entirely situation dependent, with her moth well known songs from the Project DIVA games to boot. But it's her Songs at UBER HARD Difficulties that can kill with just ONE MISS! Parappa's Lv. 3 in Battle Royale was nonrealistic, This. This can Score more points in the same amount of time as Said Super. THAT'S one tough crowd...

RIVAL
 * Vibri

CONNECTION NanaOn-Sha, the creator of Vibri, has previously made UmJammer Lammy, which had a focus on Rock Music, something Miku has previously been involved in thanks to the VOCALOID engines. NanaOn-Sha, and Crypton Future Media (The Groups that had been involved in Vib-Ribbon and Project DIVA respectively.) are most notable about Music Based Products. NanaOn-Sha helped popularize the Rhythm Game Genre long before it was dwindling in success, while Crypton created the Likes of Miku Hatsune among other Core Vocaloids for the YAMAHA synthesizer program of the same name. Finally, both are among the most successful Music Developers Japan has to offer (NanaOn-Sha's PaRappa the Rapper series was SO successful, it is hinted it might be released for a Third Canon game in the franchise (Thus earning another Green Light for Vibri.), while Miku Hatsune is a Niconico sensation that even had "Sold-Out QUICK" Live Shows as a Hologram while performing in front of Japanese fans. These are typically seen in the west as YouTube clips, and was previously showcased by the Finebros channel as React Videos.)

So, Where does Miku-chan rank in Chance?

DMC Dante: Let's not get let down.


 * 3: Plausible

Apparently Japan IS that dedicated to the point of trying their best to put Miku in All-Stars; even after Fatman and Littleboy bombed the hell out of their country. While Miku has, by far, the biggest community in any franchise for Playstation, It doesn't help that although they Published, and developed part of Project DIVA, SEGA had nothing to do with the franchise (It was highly considered a SMASH character as well, but the creators cut their ties with Nintendo, much like Superbot had their own cut by SCEI.). But IF Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) has a Sequel thanks to the support of their fans, Miku should at least be hopeful she could be in a celebration of some kind; I, mean... How many Miku Hatsune games have been released that have NOT been synonymous with Playstation? Not a lot; 2 including the Mirai Subseries on Nintendo Handhelds; NOT EVEN ENOUGH for Nintendo fans to bring her into SMASH. Not yet at least... Most of the DLC regarding Miku Hatsune was exclusively Playstation for the most part... And for that, we say Arigatou Goziamasu, and Ja Nee~! to our friends in Japan.

Time to move on...

CRASH BANDICOOT



THE ONE CHARACTER EVERYONE WANTS

Crash Bandicoot is the Titular Protagonist, and a soon to be, playable character for SKYLANDERS: Imaginators. (Fuck this.) He also made an appearance in Skylanders Academy, with an atrocious Australian accent.

THE LEGACY OF CRASH BANDICOOT
 * Crash Bandicoot (PS1) (1996)

 * Crash Bandicoot Reboot (PS4 (Most Likely.)) (TBA)

He started as NAUGHTY DOG's mascot (LONG before Drake Stepped in.), then moving to other consoles, handhelds, even phones, then an unneeded makeover, afterthat, just iOS formats, and for 6 Years straight:  NOTHING.  People actually believed one of the most memorable video game characters has actually died! Childhoods were shattered on the inside like glass, or worse, sent to hell never to return ever again! The only true reason Why Crash wasn't in Battle Royale is simply that Crash was to busy racing on iOS platforms. But recently, he finally came back; while still owned by Activision, this may be his final game; and if it's just as good as the classics, if, better, Perhaps Activision might change their minds about crash being in ROUND 2... Only time will tell...

I apologize for not mentioning any moves; I was told he was going to be the new definition of hilariously broken. I won't endorse how. I'll just mention the chances...

DmC Dante: Let's not get let down.


 * 3. Plausible

While BATTLE ROYALE couldn't get him in; If NAUGHTY DOG is to be the creators of ROUND 2, It would be their top priority to do so as they were the original creators. But this is a situation of who will do it, and not the hopeful muttering of who could. Worse, with Crash in Skylanders now, he has ABSOLUTELY seen better days (Skylanders sucked since the beginning for the use of a concept that became an economic success; and NOT with any gaming value...): such as his Smartphone appearances that were considered great for one kind of industry. But it is not the Videogame industry, and that's what caused the Temporary demise of Crash. But with the confirmation of a New Crash Bandicoot game in the works, and a badass new design, if we don't get him, WE WON'T GET ANYMORE CHANCES OF PUTTING HIM IN THE ROSTER. Simple as that.

I think we all know who Crash's rival Might be, so here he is...

SPYRO THE DRAGON

[[File:Bring-Back-Spyro.jpg|center|thumb|400px|What the fuck is this! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!!!

-Taken from ChäoS;HEAd.]]

A DRAGONIC MASTER OF THE ELEMENTS

Spyro is the Titular Protagonist of his series, and a playable character in the original SKYLANDERS Game. He has yet to have a true Reboot besides back in the late 128-bit Console War.

THE LEGACY OF SPYRO THE DRAGON
 * Spyro the Dragon (PS1) (1998)
 * Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (PS1) (1999)
 * Spyro: Year of the Dragon (PS1) (2000)
 * Spyro: Season of Ice (GBA) (2001-2002)
 * Spyro 2: Season of Flame (GBA) (2002)
 * Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (PS2/GCN) (2002)
 * Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (GBA) (2003)
 * Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage/Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy (Released in Conjunction) (GBA) (2004)
 * Spyro: A Hero's Tail (PS2/XBOX/GCN) (2004)
 * Spyro: Shadow Legacy (GBA) (2005)
 * The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (PS2/XBOX/GCN/GBA/NDS) (2006-2008)
 * The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night (PS2/GBA/NDS/Wii) (2007)
 * The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon (PS2/PS3/Wii/360/NDS) (2008)
 * Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (PC/3DS/OSX/PS3/Wii/360/WiiU (JP only)) (2011)
 * Skylanders Academy (NETFLIX) (2016)

INSOMNIAC Game's first foray into Videogames, Spyro became an instant hit with Playstation fans. But only after a couple of games, He was forced to move to other consoles in Exchange for Ratchet & Clank; which would eventually make it to Microsoft territory thanks to EA. Spyro would lay the smackdown with a wide variety of elements, similar to how Toro uses his multiple forms; except, the X Button will be used to switch breaths. Supers will even vary from element to element. Spyro is a true Dragon that has been celebrated for over 10 Years, But Skylanders was ultimately it's true downfall... A true Reboot besides The Legend of Spyro would be prime for a Green Light for ROUND 2...

RIVAL
 * Crash Bandicoot

CONNECTION Both had made their start on the PS1 by high-profile companies working for SCEI; they even moved on still making impeccable franchises that just ended (NAUGHTY DOG for UNCHARTED, and INSOMNIAC for Ratchet & Clank, & RESISTENCE.). While not on Playstation, the two actually swapped each other to their own worlds in a double release on the GBA. Both have made some measure of an appearance on SKYLANDERS ACADEMY; Albeit futilely, performance wise (Especially Crash, whom his actor did the impossible and actually supplied lines to an otherwise silent protagonist.). Finally, after their initial developer gave up on the two, they shared the same Publisher and Developer to this day; for the most part...

Spyro maybe a master of PlayStation, but what are his chances?

Emmett Graves: I'm through playin' games!


 * 2: Not Good, Dude.

Holy crap. Less of a chance than Crash; THE character not to make it in BATTLE ROYALE?! Well... Let me explain: Activision currently owns Skylanders; which is NOT a SPYRO game. Also, Stuff like SKYLANDERS, Amiibos, even LEGO Dimensions are the big thing right now. NOT CALL OF DUTY: INFINITE WARFARE, or even any FPS, But a game concept THAT REQUIRES MORE CONCEPTS! One of the biggest wastes of anyone's pocket change, and it even got its own series. Also, There hasn't been a true Spyro Game since 2008. & the franchise didn't rerelease any PS2 Ports on PSN. Worse, all of them are released long ago... The only thing preventing Spyro to the lowest rank is that people are guessing a new Spyro is in the works, just like a new Crash Bandicoot game is in the works; but no confirmation has been noted... I dun think Praying is enough...

Movin' on.

LARA CROFT



I AM NOT AFRAID

Lara Croft is the Titular Protagonist of the TOMB RAIDER series. She has changed from a Badass heroine that can kill T-Rexs, to a Moody, yet still hot gal, to Ruin explorer, to now, a failure of a Raider that now faces reality of death in the face, and nearly accepts the fate.

NOTE: Related Media not included...

So, you're probably thinking...

"GIVE US OLD SCHOOL LARA OR ELSE!!!"

Uh, no. While the Old School Lara is, superior and all, guns included, THAT WAS SEVEN YEARS AGO. Times have changed and we all must move on (Thus the reason DmC Dante was selected, and not the original; which was why DEVIL MAY CRY 4: Special Edition was released; under emergency protocol for the series.). So the 2013 version stays, but at least her arsenal is good still! Handcrafted Bow and Arrows are something rarely done right (Remember Link of SOUL CALIBUR II? Yeah... He sucked.), and Lara Croft might do us a favor and use it well... But what about her other moves? Well, she can punch and kick, among other fisticuffs abilities, but check'em...



Yep, She has a Handgun, Knife, Ax, even a Flare that BURNS! Plus Lara's emotions in the worst of situations are very close to ours: Take a lesson on that, Quanticdream...

So... What are New Lara's chances?

DmC Dante: C'mon, Round 2!


 * 4: Pretty Good

Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the most successful games in the series; giving Lara the courage needed to go on. Lara Croft as a character has been synonymous as the ultimate Video Game Female, even to the point of earning aards over the years, and now, she is forced into the unknown to merely survive. While it's indeed, unfortunate we can't get Lara from at best: Underworld, 2013's Lara still has the grit, and arsenal that makes her a true All-Star among female combatants...

But is Joel & Ellie going to fight Lara together as rivals? Survey says... No...

ALOY

Aloy is the main protagonist of HORIZON: ZERO DAWN; an upcoming Action RPG exclusive to PS4. It will be released in 2017, and will be Guerrilla Games First game since the Mixed KILLZONE: SHADOW FALL, which got the Red light, forever cancelling the franchise...



THE FUTURE IS WILD

THE LEGACY OF ALOY
 * HORIZON: ZERO DAWN (PS4) (2017)

If we want to conform to the standards of true survival, we need as many similarities as possible, and ONLY Aloy can be fit for the task; making for a Female only Rivalry. For starters, She also has a Bow and Arrows of her own to take down giant, robotic beasts that suspiciously behave like the animals of our time... She is also capable of a special tool known as the Ropecaster. This can use a variety of ways to kill enemies, such as setting traps like tripwires, shooting enemies with arrows, using explosives, and melee combat. To make her more interesting to play as, or against, Aloy will have to craft ammo, and refill energy, but instead of using a Lv meter, collecting orbs will increase her energy Gauge via electricity. This will keep her Ropecaster in check, among her other weapons. This can decide her fate in battle. Let's hope this Survivalist can do better than Emmett didn't...

RIVAL
 * Lara Croft

CONNECTION The Reboot Lara, and Aloy are both considered Survivalists, and have their respective tools to handle specific situations. Eidos (Merged with SQUAREENIX) and Guerrilla Games has been with SCEI since the beginning (Eidos with the Original TOMB RAIDER, and Guerrilla Games (Then, SCE Cambridge Studios.) BEAST WARS: Transformers.) Ironically, before Eidos was sold to SQUAREENIX, Guerrilla Games as an individual Company started with Shellshock: Nam '67 on the PC, PS2, & XBOX, while Eidos was then, still making TOMB RAIDER games. Finally, Both TOMB RAIDER (for the most part), and HORIZON: ZERO DAWN play in a third-person perspective, and have garnished many awards (HORIZON: ZERO DAWN was awarded the must play game of 2017, and even RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER has its fair share of awards.).

Lara is cool and all, but Aloy is a badass! So what are her chances?

Kat: Yaaaaaah! HAI! HAI!!! YAH!!!


 * 5: Indefinite

Colonel Radec, and Sir Daniel Fortesque were both made by the same Team who created Aloy. Aloy is one of the best PS4 Heroines; if, the best, and she has garnished the ultimate honour for WIP games. While Joel, & Ellie could make for a better rivalry with Lara Croft (and they had a PS4 Remake as well.), I chose Aloy due to the concept of survival at its most primitive, and life scarring. Guerilla Games made one of the biggest Risks in Videogame history, and that risk is on Par with even Delsin Rowe... Definetely THE female to put in this Game...

Next!

NOIRE



LASTATION'S TSUNDERE GODDESS

Noire is a Goddess personifying the Playstation Series of Consoles, and the Deuteragonist of the NEPTUNIA. She is a classic example of a Modern Tsundere in Japanese media, especially to Neptune, the Titular Protagonist of the series. Despite her dislikes towards SO MANY THINGS in order to keep Lastation in check, alongside her sister, Uni, She still deeply cares for Neptune and is always happy to see her, even if she doesn't show it... She also has an incurable Grudge against the Male Race, practically considering them as gray blobs in the form of Perverts. HAVE A HEART, NOIRE. YOU HAVE ONE YOU KNOW...

 * Superdimension Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls (PSVITA) (2015-2016)
 * Nep-Nep Connect: Chaos Chanpuru (PSVITA) (TBA 2016-2017)

Ooh... I know what you're thinking... (BUT BMH! Neptune is CLEARLY the better choice!) It's understandable that The protagonists of such franchises should make the cut, But I chose Noire as she is the embodiment of Playstation, is more competent, and thus, the better character. Uni would be her Minion, but hey, we had some good times in the series... so, why not? Her fighting style will be based on 1uping herself as much as the player can; potentially breaking fourth walls in the process. She'll lay the smackdown with her fencing capabilities, piercing attacks that will do a lot of damage While Blackheart does increase stats, it's Next Black that will be the foundation for her Lv. 3. Her Next Move summons 4 Swords that can kill just by detecting, and the after result would be an explosion that fills the entire battle field! But it will come at a price; Noire would only do Lv. 2 MAX meter. The third would come from a "Next Gauge" that is like a Lv 3 supplement, but only when Noire is already Black Heart. Otherwise, it's used to either cancel attacks, or making Supers More Powerful by 10%. It'll be tough for the creators to perfect Noire, but it only fits... Don't worry, Nep will probably have her shot in the future; but for now, Lastation is sending in their Divine Entity!

So what are Noire's chances?

DmC Dante: Let's not get let down.


 * 3. Plausible

Sure, NEPTUNIA is indeed a Playstation franchise since the beginning, but the only thing stopping Noire from getting any higher is the fact that she was in outside media; I mean, she was in an Anime, TWO Mangas, and a Light Novel! While it wasn't mention in her legacy, she was also seen in a now defunct online TCG, and a Digital Alarm Clock for iOS. While COMPILE HEART may be willing to Give ROUND 2 a shot, N1S wasn't, and since then was forever kicked from the Publisher scene, so the original group behind it, !dea factory could be able to press their luck, only to do much better. It is also very difficult to find a good actress that did work for Noire's Voice. While the Japanese Seiyuu route is considered the superior route, it's also MUCH HARDER. If she does get selected for ROUND 2, let's get our fingers crossed...

Noire's Rival is so well known by Playstation standards, it's silly. But he was fired for inadvertedly marketing the Nintendo Wii. He is now MIA, and I want him back as well; I understand... That guy can only be summoned by the following words: "Dear Playstation..."

KEVIN BUTLER



"DEAR PLAYSTATION..."

Kevin Butler was a spokesperson for the PS3 under the alias: VP of (Insert Shitty Pun Here) Portrayed by Jerry Lambert, he has since been in commercials of a Canadian chain of Pizza Parlors called Boston Pizza even after his 2 year hiatus on Video Game Ads were up. It's possible Lambert doesn't want anything to do with Sony anymore; but is still technically allowed to do ads for the PS4 under the Kevin Butler name...

THE LEGACY OF KEVIN BUTLER
 * IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING (TV/Online) (2009-2011)
 * LONG LIVE PLAY (TV/Online) (2011)
 * BRIDGESTONE (TV) (2011)

NOTE: No non-game based roles in the media will be included. Though Jerry Lambert did do many roles since 1989.

"Dear, Playstation". Those two words start a debate between completely anonymous people, and the VP of Everything himself: Kevin Butler. This man was responsible for roles before his start on PS Ads in 2009. Jerry Lambert, the actor name, was hired to do an ad for MLB 09': The Show after losing a debate to Joe Mauer. With the commercial a success, SONY International knew they found their secret weapon to marketing. He was kept for 2 more years, but SONY couldn't give up the poor man just yet. They kept him for several more months, until Jerry inadvertedly was marketing a deal on a Bridgestone ad for a Nintendo Wii, forcing Lambert to not make video game ads for 2 years. In 2014, Sony was already marketing the already successful PS4. But they had nobody to market their stuff in a lighthearted manner. Bobb'e J. Thompson AKA Marcus Rivers, who previously marketed the PSP was gone as well; Youtube channel included. While Sony is still successful without them, they completely forgot that Jerry Lambert is allowed again to market the PS4. The key mistake to SONY's Unforgiving nature is that Jerry Lambert now does movies unrelated to SONY. Because of this, their indecisiveness prevented them to get Kevin Butler back. Jerry was most recently involved in Horrible Bosses 2.

While Kevin Butler probably won't be back anytime soon, we can safely assume his fighting style will be a fusion of PS Move Controllers, and comedic wit. Let's pray that Greatness Awaits Kevin Butler once again!

RIVAL
 * Noire

CONNECTION Both are considered Gods in some way (Noire is the Console Patron Unit of Lastation, while Kevin Butler is more comparable to Japan's Segata Sanshiro, whom both are awesome in their own way, and both died for the sake of their company (Ironically, Kevin's "Death" is more questioned as to whether or not he really did die.).). Both are excellent Guitarists (According to 5pb., Noire has potential as a Guitarist if she took a couple of breaks as a Goddess, and in the "VP of Epic Montages" ad, Kevin Butler easily shredded on a guitar during a montage of kickass media for the PS3.). Finally, both had been involved in projects related to Playstation (Noire was in Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart, while Kevin at one point had promotion where if one preorders LBP Karting, they get a Kevin Butler costume and Golf Kart as PreOrder bonuses. This, nonetheless didn't help the game's negative reception.).

Before we get to the last rivalry before a character replacement for a character already in the original roster, what is Kevin Butler's chances?

Raiden: NOW I'M PISSED!


 * 1: Nigh Impossibibble

Me too, Raiden... Me too... Currently, Jerry Lambert has no affiliation with ANYTHING SONY! Our only hope is that he returns in E3 2017. If THAT doesn't happen, it won't happen at all. It's already been 2 years since 2012, and yet, Lambert has yet to return to Playstation as a result of redemption... Worse, he is no longer involved with the gaming industry entirely. One of the Biggest shames to grace the media. If anyone can save Playstation, it's Kevin Butler. & YOU can't find another candidate WORST of all, there already is a real life Kevin Gregory Butler, whose response to Playstation's greatest marketer since the beginning is the same as Chris Crocker (By the way, this Kevin Butler has a middle name, which is more important to note as SONY's Kevin Butler has no middle name.)

Chris Crocker: Kiss my ass. And don't just kiss my ass... Eat my good ol'-

I'm cutting the rest as it is indeed more explicit than any cuss I said so far... But if you get my Chris Crocker reference, good. You earned disappointment.

KGB ultimately got contacts of the Real VP of SCEA, and thus putting the final nail in Kevin Butler's Coffin, ending all hopes and dreams for all...

Sorry, but this is the ultimate dishonor to Playstation. I'll have to find another for Noire to mingle with. Moving on...

TIGERSHARK



THE BEAST TO KILL MACHINES

Tigershark is the Primary InviZimal of his respective series. Despite being one of the last InviZimals of his respective series to be collected, he has been seen as the face of his respective series to the point of being on the Boxart of almost every game. He was even in an Animated Series of the same source name; thus marketing merchandise...

THE LEGACY OF TIGERSHARK
 * InviZimals (PSP) (2009)
 * InviZimals: Shadow Zone (PSP) (2010)
 * InviZimals: The Lost Tribes (PSP) (2011)
 * InviZimals: (TV/NETFLIX) (2013)
 * InviZimals: The Lost Kingdom (PS3) (2014)
 * InviZimals: The Alliance (PSVITA) (2014)
 * InviZimals: The Resistance (PSVITA) (2015)

While InviZimals has been considered Pokémon's easiest to beat target, Yokai Watch trumps Pokémon in Japan alone... But whether your Spanish, Japanese, or, just downright want some kickass creatures fighting each other, InviZimals is your series. While the game at first had only four attacks per InviZimal, in 2014, the game now includes a revised combat system, and even robotic enemies to collect! What does this have to do with Tigershark, though? Well, the franchise has been in two different styles since its inception in 2009; live action, and CGi. Fans of the series loved Tigershark as a badass marketing tool. Not only that, it is considered as the franchise's Goldilocks Character; Strong but not TOO strong; allowing for a large but balanced character, and it would even have its own lines from the series; TV or Game.

Even though InviZimals is a crap series, Where would Tigershark be chance-wise?

DmC Dante: Let's not get let down.


 * 3. Plausible

The InviZimals franchise has ended, where the rest of the competition like Pokémon, Digimon, EVEN Yokai Watch is still happening... Nevertheless, the Cartoon is alright, and is compatible with the PSVITA. The Resistance is the series' Swan Song, and the best in the series in terms of gameplay, visuals, collectables, even items that alter the characters by ALOT. Also, even though your mileage may vary, it also has the best roster of InviZimals and ExTractorbots in the franchise as a whole; while it required sacrificing already existing InviZimals for better equivalents, Tigershark still remained to the very end. If SONY can contact novarama; the people behind the whole thing, I think if Tigershark makes it, MAYBE an average of 50,000,000 AT LEAST Hispanic InviZimals Fans will finally want to play a sequel to a piece of crap according to many...

Even though people want some giant beast to combat Tigershark, I decided on someone who can take on Antagonists, emerge victorious just from two things: A Volcano, and a Giant METAL FIST. Her name is...

ROMILI, RELOADED



HALF ELF, HALF BIOLITH

Romili, Reloaded is the Main Female Lead of The Eye of Judgment: Legends, and a "Could've Been" Card for the Cancelled Eye of Judgment Set 3; which could've been released as a Trading Card for the Game. She was a Forest Affiliated Elf Hero until forever being cursed with a Biolith Arm, and the inability to age...

THE LEGACY OF ROMILI, RELOADED
 * The Eye of Judgment (PS3) (2007)
 * The Eye of Judgment: LEGENDS (2010)

Surprised? You better be. Romili, Reloaded is by far, Tigershark's best bet for a Rival. But for now: Romili was an ordinary Elf with an unexpected prejudice about to happen as her Left arm became mechanical. She became a Biolith, insulted, and even treated with the highest of disrespect. She was shunned from her clan, eventually meeting with Wormac, whom was imprisoned by Scion, who saw him as a failure of a Biolith. With the two sharing the same pain, they miraculously escaped from Scion's clutches. Ultimately, the two separated for unknown reasons, and Romili was eventually saved from an Elven Berserker thanks to who is known as "The Wizard" (The player character.). Throughout their journeys, they fought other foes who were affiliated with the Church of Parmus, and ultimately; Scion himself. However, after Wormac was defeated, The Voiceless Protagonist was forced to deal with Romili herself, whom her memories, and emotions ran amok. She was eventually calmed by Wormac; who sacrificed himself by giving an ensaddened Romili his orb, leaving her, and The Wizard to settle things once and for all...

Eventually The Wizard defeated Scion, but Romili is alone until her old friends came, thus setting the after-story section where Romili founds a Brigade under her Name. Their purpose is to seal things into cards, and permanently make them unusable as a result; thus ultimately making her the Biolith Army's New Betrayer.

Not the best of stories, but as a fighter, She uses Magic as a weapon, can fly with her staff, use her Biolith Fist for physical combat, and even seal enemies in cards to wipe them out. She is a True Hero turned Villain nobody ever cared for until now, so let's see how she is related to Tigershark!

RIVAL
 * Tigershark

CONNECTION Both franchises use an Eye-based peripheral in some way (InviZimals used a PSP Camera attachment until THE ALLIANCE. Eye of Judgment was, at one point, a Japanese TCG using the Playstation eye Camera for the PS3.). Both also involved collecting, and trading in-game concepts (InviZimals allowed the trading of creatures and items online, Eye of Judgment had Real-World Cards the player could trade in real life, on online via EoJ: LEGENDS.). Both games had online play, both had a PS3 game in the franchise (Ironically The Lost Kingdom started the latter half of the InviZimals franchise while Eye of Judgment started the franchise.), and lastly, The Eye of Judgment series ended where the InviZimals series began, chronologically in Playstation History...

So we now know of Romili's backstory, what about her chances?

Emmett Graves: I'm through playin' games!


 * 2: Not Good, Dude.

Eye of Judgment: LEGENDS had poor reception when it was released in the USA. While Romili was a relatable heroine, the gameplay itself was fundamentally broken as the opponents always had an advantage against you via special traits for gameplay, where you are simply playing the game the regular way. While JAPAN studio still owns EoJ, LEGENDS was released OVER 6 years ago! It may not be a long time to play videogames to you, but to a handheld user, it is! Plus, there are currently no plans for a follow up to Legends. The only reason why this is Lv. 2 in rank is that EYE of JUDGMENT: LEGENDS is available for the PS Store on the Vita, so you can still play the game by purchasing it at a cheap price. While 6 years is a long time, then again, so is Spike's most recent appearance in the APE ESCAPE series: Ape Escape: SaruSaru Big Mission; which was released during the time of the original EYE of JUDGMENT. And Spike made it in regardless...

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, I think I gave you too many new rivalries to think of; Here's a character that is ALL Playstation, and would make for Fat Princess' new rival.

Her name is...

GWENDOLYN



FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES

Gwendolyn is the Main Female Lead of Odin Sphere, and its remake: Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir. She was the remaining Daughter of King Odin, whom although treasured Gwendolyn like her mother probably would, is actually one of the antagonists of the story; as revealed in Mercedes' story. She is a High Ranking Valkyrie due to her status of her kingdom. She is the foe of the Final Boss: Leventhen: The Last Dragon, and Alice, whom she read the books regarding the story, is fan-speculated to be her present day spawn...

THE LEGACY OF GWENDOLYN
 * Odin Sphere (PS2) (2007-2008)
 * Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir (PS3/PS4/PSVITA) (2016)

Being a Princess of an army is hard work. Just ask Gwendolyn when her Mother's fate remains a mystery to this day. But she can handle her own regardless. Utilizing a Psypher Spear, and Valkyrie Wings, her flight ability is just as good as it was back in the late PS2 days. Also, instead of orbs to use for supers, she uses a Psypher Gauge that increases for every downed opponent that releases Psypher. While she has a wide variety of items to use in-game, in this case, Alchemy will be used to fight. She can use freezing, burning, even poisoning Alchemy among others to defeat foes, just like the game of origin! You could even say she's the closest to being accurate to her original source... She'll be a force to be reckoned with if she makes it. Vannilaware: Gwendolyn awaits...

RIVAL Fat Princess

CONNECTION Gwendolyn and Fat Princess are characters of Royalty (Gwendolyn of Odin Sphere seems to reside of a kingdom based on Norse Mythology, while Fat Princess' kingdom remains a mystery; but is most likely Medieval England, albeit, stereotypical.). Both said Kingdoms have commited some truly terrible things (Gwendolyn's father, Odin has Murdered Mercedes' Mother in the past before Oswald married Gwendolyn, and Fat Princess has commited acts of Greed & Gluttony.). Finally, Both Games have a Unique Visual Engine of some kind (Odin Sphere (series) utilizes the same visual engine since the original Odinsphere was released, and Fat Princess uses a Cartoonish CGi engine that actually looks like a bloody cartoon in CGi form.)

OKAY. What are Gwendolyn's chances?

Kat: Yaaaaaah! HAI! HAI!!! YAH!!!


 * 5: Indefinite

ODIN SPHERE as a remake was released in 2016. A big Green Light for Gwendolyn. Both games were given High Acclaim, and are VANILLAWARE's magnum opus' since their debut on the JP SEGA Saturn with Princess Crown. The story is great, it is awarded as a GREATEST HIT, it even has a PSVITA Port for the remake. The idea this is VANILLAWARE's franchise of choice is not farfetched; it is a true PlayStation franchise that is worth playing, and if someone else becomes Fat Princess' new rival, fine. I'm merely stating Gwendolyn is my personal choice...

Next!

UBERHERO



MANY HEROES, ONE PURPOSE.

Uberhero is a major character in PATAPON 3. He was the HERO in PATAPON 2, until the chest opened, sparing only 3 PATAPON, a Silver Hoshipon, and what is now the Uberheroes. For this character, the Taterazay will be used as the base.

THE LEGACY OF UBERHERO
 * PATAPON 3 (PSP) (2011)

PATAPON 3 was the final chapter in the PATAPON franchise before Pyramid, who worked with JAPAN studio, worked on other projects before giving up with the release of the PSVITA. After that, people remembered all the awesome forms the Uberhero can take, thus setting the foundation for Uberhero's fighting style. His forms would behave like Toro Inoue's but each attack would have a different form. Since lifebars will be included, that of course also means Pingrek will be included also, healing and all.



Such variety is already thought of, but is still a testament to the ideas one can agree on. Uberhero will definitely be a force to be reckoned with if he makes it...

So what are the One Man Army's chances?

DmC Dante: C'mon! Round 2!


 * 4: Pretty Good

In Battle Royale, an army of PATAPON took out Hades in his own stage. Already a good sign... Uberhero is the clear winner between him, and a group of PATAPON; which would be hard to control... It would allow a stage, like Loco Roco had with Franzea. The only thing preventing Uberhero from the indefinite rank was that PATAPON ended on the PSP. Not the PSVITA. But Uberhero has alot of potential making it to ROUND 2.

So, who could Uberhero fight? Here's a hint: He also didn't make it to the PSVITA...

KULCHE



ENERGETIC YOUNGSTER

Kulche is the primary protagonist introduced in the first Loco Roco game. He is a tiny round thing that can get bigger by eating giant fruit, thus growing in size. He is actually multiple Kulche's in this status, and thus, can use his weight to crush foes;The heavier, the more powerful...

THE LEGACY OF KULCHE
 * Loco Roco (PSP) (2006-2008)
 * Loco Roco Cocoreccho! (PS3) (2007)
 * Loco Roco 2 (2008) (PSP)
 * Loco Roco: Midnight Carnival (2009) (PSP)

While Kulche wasn't a Playable Character in Battle Royale, his stage had it all: The Illusion of Innocence, Kotoko's Face of Fact (Not the song, but you get my point.), and even METAL GEAR RAY: Desperado Version! It was a fun stage, & I'd like it to return for ROUND 2... Let's Talk about Kulche: He fought more foes than you think... He fought the Mojas, nut he also fought many more foes on his journey to where he is today... His fighting style would Bash the nuts out of foes. He could even flatten foes, but only if he has enough of him in there. But it's his Lv. 3 where he summons all his friends, each the same amount as the original, and can flatten, or do a Zerg Rush that'll induce fear to anyone who underestimates an innocent like Kulche.

RIVAL
 * Uberhero

CONNECTION Both franchises are primarily PSP based. They also both were part of a stage in some measure (PATAPON were involved in the latter half of Hades' stage, while Franzea is a full fledged stage based on Loco Roco.). Finally, both games use music as a minor theme (All three PATAPON games use a War Drum, while the Loco Roco games even have singing.).

Well, if Kulche can kill a Metal Gear RAY, could he be added?

DmC Dante: C'mon, Round 2!


 * 4: Pretty Good

Even after Loco Roco ended, Battle Royale continued the Legacy with honours with the Franzea stage. This means we already have a Green Light for Kulche. Also, Kulche is easily the main protagonist of the series, and has crushed many foes in his travels, making him truly combat able. Finally, Kulche is one of the most notable PlayStation characters of the previous generation. The only snag is that Kulche never made it to current generation platforms, but that flaw may not be enough to put Kulche at a possible 5 rank...

Atoi

Atoi is a selctable character in TEARAWAY, and the Main Protagonist of the remake TEARAWAY unfolded. Despite Iota initially being the Main Protagonist of the series, Atoi earned the popularity vote during development of unfolded; thus became the new protagonist...

 * TEARAWAY (PSVITA) (2013)
 * TEARAWAY unfolded (PS4) (2015)

"WHY NOT IOTA???"

It's not my problem Iota didn't make it... Yet. Perhaps he will as a pre order costume. Anyways, Atoi would lay the smackdown with fingers, Apples, even Wendigo Swarms after they took out the Scraps. Also, Atoi would be on similar size with Sackboy. After crafting her own tale, maybe she'll be willing for one last rumble. Finally, she can triple jump thanks to her source franchise's bounce pads. She might be the new token mini moe of Round 2...

So what are Atoi'schances?

Kat: Yaaaaaaah! HAI! HAI! YAH!!!


 * 5: Indefinite

This is Mm's big thing before the upcoming dreams. Atoi is made by the same company that created LittleBIGPlanet; which even Stephen Fry supported Battle Royale. If both the male and female announcers for TEARAWAY are supporters also, it means Atoi is ready for ROUND 2 indefinitely. Just one obstacle to beat, and ATOI IS IN THE CLEAR! If she doesn't make it, it's the fault of Mm, as Sackboy was in Battle Royale previously...

I wonder who Atoi's rival should be...

Imagine this: Ryuko Matoi (KILL LA KILL) but underage, "dead", and with full scissor blades. The result is a puppet with many heads that would put Dynamite Headdy to shame! JAPAN studio's Kutaro of Puppeteer! He would use his many heads and his Calibrus as his weapons of choice, while maybe even using an ally for support. While that would be up to SONY, having a variety of heads is amazing, so which 4, guys?

RIVAL
 * Atoi

CONNECTION Both rival's games were released in 2013, thus, in a way, are next gen titles (SONY still markets the PS3.). Both characters are made of a certain material (Paper & Wood), and are embodiments of their kind (Atoi is a living envelope, and Kutaro is a deceased boy turned Puppet finding his head to turn back to normal.). Finally, both franchises have many things to collect (Both TEARAWAY games have Papercraft, while PUPPETEER has a wide variety of heads.)

So? What are Kutaro's chances?

DmC Dante: Let's not get let down.


 * 3: Plausible

Maybe I'm being too positive, after all, PUPPETEER never had a PS4 remake, but the fact that this was released around the PS4's Launch should be enough to warrant something... The game was meant to be used for the PS move, which is still compatable for the PS4 to this day via the PSVR. But in all seriousness; it's going to take more than that to put Kutaro in...

Covert OPs time! First off:
