Sonic Battle Arena 1


TheMarioKarters, Vaza, youresam and Popcorn Devil have released a new version of their amazing homebrew game eagerly anticipated by all - Sonic Battle Arena, updating it to include online play thanks to netlib and youresam! This makes SBA the PSPs first online fighting homebrew title, and boy does it live up to the title. In Sonic Battle Arena, the ultimate Sonic fighting game coded in Lua, you control one of 5 Sonic characters currently available: Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Cream or Amy; fighting to the death as it is against your opponent.

The game itself is pretty simple to pick up and play, using the D-pad for movement, X button to attack and O to jump. You may have been playing against a computer in the last release, but now you get to fully test your skills up against real humans. This is still a beta, so expect some bugs. The only negative I can find from this game is that you don't know who you are playing against, neither can you talk to them. Surely if your playing against either TheMarioKarters, Vaza, or Popcorn Devil you're going to lose!

Here's what TMK said:

What happens is, once you press R at the main menu, you select your character with the D-Pad, then press X. You'll then connect to Netlib using Connection 1. Be sure your WLAN switch is on! After you select your character, two things can happen. If someone is waiting, you will join them. If no one is waiting to play, you will wait for someone to join. To cancel waiting for someone, press start, dont do anything else.

Don't run away with the download just yet, because I have some more information for you all. Remember the downside of not being able to see who you're playing against? In the next version, the SBA team plan to add some kind of chatroom, so you can actually talk to the person you are beating!

how the ***** is tha damage system built? :S
its *****ed up man

   by Vaza - 2006-07-20
 » Damage System
The Damage system is always:
Your health on the left, enemies on your right, never the other way, even if you are player 2.
The Attack lasts about 3 seconds:
2 Seconds building up spin speed, so the attack becomes stronger, and 1 second slowing down, until the attack becomes too weak to do damage.

The more you damage someone..their health goes down.

 » this game sucks
I downloaded this game and it sucks a ss bad. this is one of the worst games ever made if yu even want to call this a "game" a 5 year old can make a better game than this. These are jsut stupid 10 year old kids who can't program for s hit and get all excited when they make such a crappy game. Pspupdates, please get this crap off of your site. Thank you QJ Staff: A) Don't tell QJ what to do and B) Don't flame good pieces of homebrew. Make one yourself if your so great.

I agree with the getting the crap of this site, so please sir, the exit's that away.

A 5 year-old can make this game? Cool, where's the kid's version? Oh wait, that's right...he was too busy watching Pokemon to do it....well but if a 5 year old could do it, why didn't you? Maybe you're not even 5.

Seriously, shut up. No one here works for you, no one cares what you want. TheMarioKarters, Vaza, youresam and Popcorn Devil (think that's all of them) worked hard for this game, and that's all you can say? Well if you were expecting something on the lines of say Tekken, then you're just dumb.

Appreciate their work, or be quiet and let the grown people talk.


That aside....Excelent game guys. I've seen this grow into a fine game, and the new online feature is gonna make this that much better.

*points to Sony* Watch and learn...This is what good games are made of.
