PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

I wonder how the gameplay itself will be. I heard that the main game mode isn't about smashing somebody off screen, or taking down his hit points. You have to build up your meter by hitting other players. When it's full, you can score a point with a superattack. But your meter runs low when somebody else hits you.
So in a way, it's more like Brawl's coin mode.
But we'll have to see how it turns out.

While in no way am I saying that doesn't sound terrible; let's just hope that there are other modes. Sort of like how Smash has Coin mode for people who don't like damage mode, or time for those who don't like stock.

Right now, it is the biggest turn off.

It seems the only way to score points is to use your Super Moves. And so far, that seems to favor Kratos based on videos.

It'd be a dumb-fucking move for them to only have one game mode in that game. It would be so dumb that I'm just going to assume there are other game modes. Even that Ninja Turtles Brawl-style game had a few different ways to play.

Maybe they're going for 'coin mode' as standard, just so it's not too like Brawl, because it's clearly brawl. But I'd just guess someone would say "Uh, hey guys - let's capitalize even more by trying to add modes in it that mimic Brawl."

I guess.. the.. thing would be how?
There's no health meters.. and most of the levels are in a confined space with no place to "SMASH" them out
