PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Dishes Out Sweet Tooth Tutorial

It’s Thursday, so that means school is still in session. Fight school, that is. As developer SuperBot Entertainment continues to roll out tutorial videos for its upcoming brawler, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, it looks like fan favorite Sweet Tooth will be your next instructor for a lesson in dishing out the pain.

Coming from car combat game Twisted Metal, it’s no surprise that the psychotic clown with a flaming hairdo has a moveset with a strong focus on weaponry. Sweet Tooth can drop landmines, breath fire, chuck machetes and turn himself into a whirlwind of death with chainsaw in hand.

Sweet Tooth is also pretty decent in closer encounters, equipped with a few punches and kicks, as well as a powerful shotgun blast. And let’s not forget about that third-tier finisher that puts the player in control of a killer ice cream truck mech.

According to a post from SuperBot Combat Designer Paul Edwards on the PlayStation Blog, Sweet Tooth’s character went through something of an evolution throughout development.

“Sweet Tooth is a huge bruiser--he’s all about big, powerful attacks that often make his opponents go flying,” Edwards said. “He initially had a large degree of combo ability using his melee attacks, but we decided that didn’t really fit with his physique or playstyle. Instead, he likes to pick his battles, come through with a quick burst of power, then move on to the next opportunity (which isn’t very different from his style in Twisted Metal).”

So there you have it, a crash course in the killer clown. Class dismissed.
