Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale will no doubt be a major success for the Playstation 3.

However, unlike Nintendo's diverse list of mascots Sony's has been developed by a number of different developers over the course of two decades.

For those unfamiliar with the characters, Latinos Post will do report on latest news regarding each character and an in-depth report on their histories, their move sets, and their Super attacks.

The beta version was recently launched on the PS3 and Vita for PS Plus Subscribers, enabling players to trying out the game. Among the characters available in the beta were Kratos, Parappa, Fat Princess, Sweet Tooth, Colonel Radek, and Sly Cooper.

Sly Cooper is known for his stealth and speed in the game series "Sly Cooper." In his debut title, Sly was forced to seek out the long-lost Thievious Racoonus, which was a set of documents on thieving knowledge. The next title in the franchise Sly Cooper:Thieves in Time is slated for a February 5, 2013 release date and will again follow Sly's attempt to rescue the Thievus Raccoonus.

In All-Stars Battle Royale, Sly is a fast character that can steal Ap orbs from other characters. Instead of blocking, Sly can become invisible to avoid his enemies.

His move sets inclue Cane Strike, Cane Rising Strike, Cane Twirl Strike, and low Sweep Cane Strike which are all quick, but weak moves with limited range. These can all be activated on the square button.

With the Triangle, Sly has some projectiles include the Alarm Clock Toss, the Stun Bomb, the Thunder Ball Roll, and Teleport. These moves are stronger, but take more time and can be easily avoided by opponents.

With the Circle button Sly uses his strongest moves such as Explosive Barrel Cover, Counter Hit, Laser Dash, and Mini Mine.

Hi Supers showcase some of the other members of his game including Bentley and Murray. His Level 1 Super has Murray show up and body slam opponents while saying "Murray would approve." It has limited range.

The Level Two Super has Sly flying around on Carmelita's jetpack while he drops bombs on opponents. It is similar to Diddy Kong's rocket barrel boost in Smash Bros. Brawl. The move gives him more distance and speed.

The Final Super is the Bentley Binoc-U-Com which enables Sly to snap pictures of enemies. Every player in a picture gets killed. Sly can take up to 7 pictures and has 10 seconds to take pictures.

The game is slated for a November 20 release on both the PS 3 and PS Vita. Anyone who purchases the PS3 version will also receive a free download voucher for the Vita Version.
