The game is a reboot, or reimagining, of the 2012 PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita crossover title , and can be considered as a sequel to the original game. Like its predecessor, Jake's Title Fight is a crossover title that combines elements from a number of intellectual properties owned by the company in charge of the brand, .
While marketed as a reimagining of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, the game also draws heavy influence from the beta build of the game known as Title Fight. Additionally, the development and retail builds of 2012 title were themselves based heavily upon Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series of crossover titles with which they share many similarities. The game can be compared other crossover platform fighting games such as the aforementioned Super Smash Bros. series, , and .
== Gameplay ==
Jake's Title Fight is a party fighting game set within two-dimensional stages designed with platforming gameplay in mind. Up to four characters can participate in a fight where the objective of the game is to deal damage to foes and collect AP Orbs (All-Star Power Orbs) that drop whenever a fighter takes damage. By collecting enough AP Orbs to fill their AP Gauge, the player is then capable of unleashing a Super Attack that instantly knocks out any fighter hit by it. The player with the most amount of Points at the end of a game, or the last player remaining, wins the match.
Taking cues from the Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series, Jake's Title Fight improves on its predecessor by introducing the ability to knockout fighters by launching them off the screen. As with the aforementioned series, taking damage increases the player's KB Gauge (Knockback Orbs), which in turn increases the distance that the fighter will be launched when hit by stronger attacks. Unlike being defeated by a Super Attack, being defeated by being launched out of bounds only grants a player 1 Point, whereas the former grants the player 2 Points instead.
In order to actually combat foes, all characters have a large moveset that consists of two sets of Normal Attacks, mapped to the and buttons, in addition to stronger Special Attacks that can be performed via the button. Different moves can be performed depending on the direction held down on the control stick while an attack button is pressed, with Special Attacks in particular often being bound to directional inputs that relate to the moves' uses. While they are normally the strongest attacks in a character's arsenal barring the Super Attack. All Special Attacks can be charged up at the cost of some of the player's collected AP in order to increase the amount of damage and/or knockback they deal to foes, with some other Special Attacks gaining additional effects that use up a small amount more of the user's AP Gauge.
The character's most-devastating move, their Super Attack, replaces the user's basic Special Attack once their AP Gauge is filled. Unlike the previous PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, every character only has a single Super Attack as opposed to three levels of increasing strength, and because of this most returning characters have brand new Super Attacks. Despite this however, the player is still capable of collecting AP Orbs once their AP Gauge has completely filled as they can still use the gauge's energy to power-up their Special Attacks. Once a Super Attack has been used, the player's AP Gauge will drain completely, thus preventing them from filling their AP Gauge twice and using two Super Attacks consecutively.
In addition to each character having their own standard and special moves, players can also pick up items with a variety of different effects by pressing the or buttons while standing over them. Some of these items act as direct weapons which replace some of the user's moves with attacks that make use of the item they hold, while others may be more status-based, dealing damage to foes indirectly or healing the one that makes use of them. The use of items is always mapped to the button, making the player's Standard Attacks linked to that button unusable until the item is dropped; the player can drop items by pressing the or button again while standing still, while others can be thrown if the same button is pressed while the character is in motion. The ability to grab objects is not limited solely to items however, and players can also grab their opponents and throw them in various directions, dealing damage to them in the process.
Finally, holding down the or buttons allows the player to guard, with the character taking a defensive stance. Guarding greatly diminishes the amount of damage knockback a fighter takes from attacks and prevents them from flinching. If a player blocks too many attacks without letting up their guard, or blocks a particularly strong attack, then the character's guard will break and implode and they will take some damage as they leave themselves open for a moment; should this happen, the player's guard will become extremely weak for a short period of time before gradually increasing in defensive strength. All moves can be blocked, including Super Moves, to varying degrees of success. For instance, Super Moves generally deal enough damage to a fighter to break their guard and deal a significant amount of damage to them in the process. Guarding can only be performed while standing on the ground, with the character instead performing an air dodge in midair that allows them to completely bypass attacks if timed correctly.
