PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

Yes I know Wander was not leaked but I wanted to talk about something not leak related. I figured I would talk how Wander could be impemented in this game. A lot of people believe that an Ico or SOTC character would not work due to their limited movesets. Honestly, as Pheonix Wright in UMvC3 proved, with some creativity, anyone is possible and viable in a fighting game.

A lot of people either dont know or dont think about the fact that when you beat SOTC, there is a time attack mode where you can unlock a 20 different items. (here is a link with the items. http://www.ign.com/cheats/games/shadow-of-the-colossus-ps2-490849)

with some creativity, and those items, Wander could have a fairly robust moveset. He would be more of a ranged, nag character, but with some short range surprises… so he would be link haha.


He could have normal and flash arrows, and the harpoon of thunder with the angle being decided by the button press for ranged attacks

he could put on different cloaks that effect his visibility and act as counters. (One cloak makes him transparent, one is a fast, frontal counter, one is slower, but blocks 360 degrees.

He could put on masks that buff his meter gain or reduces the meter gain of the opponents.

His meter gain would initially be the lowest in the game but through these buffs, it would bring it to average.


In one move, he pulls out his parachute cloak. if it is in the air, it allows him to slow down his fall, and attack out of it. If it is used on the ground, it would pull him up at an angle and hit opponents in the air.

he could have a move where he pulls out a fruit or a lizard tail (chosen at random) and eats it, increasing his meter by different amounts.

He could also have command grabs of sorts. Im sure someone who can hold onto a colossus would have a devastating grip haha.

As for his supers he could:
level 1: he pulls out the queens sword and does a forward short range killing blow.

Level 2: Summon Argo and ride around the screen. he can shoot arrows to slow down opponents and then trample them.

Level 3: He shoots a whistle arrow and then runs off screen. the opponents all look up at the arrow, and then turn around in time to see a colosus (either 1 or 3) rearing back and swinging its giant sword at them. The opponents try to run, but cant escape and are crushed, clearing the screen.

I also had the idea that Argo could be a summoned character ala Wario's bike, and wanders level 2 could be him transforming into the monster from the end of the game, wrecking havok, and then changing back.

Firstly this topic needs a spoiler warning.


Super 1 i would change to a random colossus hand smashing the ground.
Super 2 sounds like something for a level 3. I think Level 2 should just have Argo appear and run over people.
Super 3 should be Wander transformation.

oh my bad. I though I put potential spoiler on there.

and ya, I do agree. I wanted that to be his level 3 initially, but I thought trying to get the colossus scope would be more important. Also a transformation sounds too much like sweet tooth.

I definitely agree 2 and 3, but I think it would be good to have his exploding arrow as a Level 1 super.

Also, I think the light reflection from his sword could be used as a sort of stun attack, blinding opponents that the light focuses on.

Nice thread. I never knew about a lot of the extra weapons and items. I've been searching them on youtube.

I guess the Shaman Mask and Shaman Claok can be an unlockable costume or a pre-order one.

I really hope to see him as a playable character.

The light stun is an awesome idea. I had never thought of that. And when I looked back at an exploding arrow video from the game, it mights make more sense as a level 1, because it is such a big explosion. I just wanted to find a way to use some of the different swords he unlocks.

Even if Wander doesnt make this game initially, he would be a sweet DLC option if done correctly. I hope he still shows up in some manner though. I would love too see him, and a Journey/SOTC stage as DLC. Imagine a stage starting in the Journey desert, then Colossus 13 comes into the stage, and the Journey characters are running around trying to dodge it...

ahh one can dream haha.

I really hope Wander makes it into the game.

No worries :)

The thing is that, your level 3 would be pretty much like Toro/ PaRappa/ Heihachi. All 3 are from Japan and use an instant 3 kill only super 3.

I think it would be nice for a JPN character to have something different.. even if like Kratos and Sweeth Tooth.

Light thing could be good for a stun attack actually.

Level one using his Exploding arrow? That could be cool actually. But then I would change my level 2 then. I think a Colossus needs to feature somewhere in the supers. I would say no to the exploding light and instead make that one of his long range attacks.
But, Wander has enough going for him (clearly)

I guess it is a pretty cool thing when a character like Wander can have all of this potential. Having too many options for finishers is never a bad thing.
