PICKED BY: Tom Reed

LEVEL 2: “Body for Free”: Seth screams “Body Dat Fraud” while unleashing an ultimate body splash for massive damage. Button bashing will cause Seth to repeatedly say “for free” allowing for faster recovery
LEVEL 3: Final Sodium Breaker: Seth pulls out a list of lies regarding fighting games he represents then folds it into a plane and throws it at the opponent. If the paper plane hits: the opponent will cry. Seth will lick the opponents face saying: “Your bitter tears are delicious” causing instant KO. (This combo has very specific frame data and can only be performed by DESK when he is high on crack.)
These are Hard Reset’s predictions for who will fill-up those empty spaces in Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale. Of course, the last pick, sources tell me, may not be all very believable but dammit, no one goes un-noticed at Hard Reset!
