Two new characters revealed for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

The PlayStation Blog has just confirmed the next two fighters in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale: Heihachi Mishima and Toro Inoue, both recently appearing in Street Fighter X Tekken.

Heihachi is obviously far more recognised as a Tekken property, appearing in all versions of Tekken since the 1995 original. Toro, also known as the “Sony Cat,” appeared in both the PS3 and PS Vita versions of Street Fighter X Tekken.

Toro “brings a unique stance-based fighting style to PlayStation All-Stars, affording him several different sets of attacks to utilize in combat. He transitions seamlessly from a close-range fighter in his Justice form, to a ranged specialist in his Torobi form, to an effective wide-area controller in his Oni form,” said the PS Blog.

The blog is also adamant that Heihachi will be a tough competitor in PlayStation All-Stars: “Familiar moves such as his Electric Wind God Fist and Twin Pistons are intact and as deadly as ever. He excels at close-range combat, overwhelming opponents with quick, powerful strikes. Heihachi’s combo potential ranks among the best in the roster.”

Look for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale on PS3 and Vita (with cross-play!) on 25 October.
