Similarly, Creator/{{Activision}} was approached for ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' and ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'', as well as Creator/SquareEnix for a ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' representative, but the high prices demanded resulted in none of them appearing in the finished product.
*** [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]] and [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sub-Zero]] were considered, but only made it as far as the concept stage, not even reaching the negotiations aspect with Creator/{{Capcom}} and Creator/WarnerBrosInteractiveEntertainment. Had this pushed through, this would've marked the game where ''Street Fighter'' and ''Mortal Kombat'' [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny cross over for the first time.]]
*** Even with Sony's first-party franchises, Superbot didn't have much luck. Two notable omissions were Wander from ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' and Ico from ''VideoGame/{{Ico}}'', but Team ICO denied their inclusions.
** Concept art found in ''VideoGame/GravityRush Remastered'' confirms that Kat's Schoolgirl and Maid outfits may have been planned as alternate costumes, as the art in question shows [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/playstationallstarsbattleroyale/images/4/4e/Gravity_Rush_Remastered_Kat_Colors_2.png/revision/latest?cb=20191015025317 color variations for both]].
** [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=SQ3lH5c6DbMA A leaked build of the game]] shows that the game was going to have motion controls. [[note]] You can see this at around the 11:20 mark in the video[[/note]]
** If [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avatar_ratchet_clank_1_8516.png this]] prototype render is anything to go by, [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet]] was originally going to use a Combuster in his and Clank's moveset. Presumably, it was going to fill a similar role to the one his Constructo-Pistol plays, and likely would've been mapped to Side Triangle.WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''WhatCouldHaveBeen/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale''
** A stage featured back when the game was still being referred to as Title Fight mashed up the train segment from ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'' with ''VideoGame/{{Warhawk}}''.
** Before [=SuperBot=] was formed, Sony originally wanted Creator/NaughtyDog or Santa Monica Studios to develop the game, but they were busy with their own projects (''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'', ''VideoGame/GodOfWarAscension''). Sony then decided to build [=SuperBot=] from the ground up with a focus on employees with experience in fighting games.
** According to Kojima Productions, Raiden was scheduled to have a big reveal at Webcomic/PennyArcade Expo 2012, but his leak led to a more basic reveal as a preview for [=PAX=].
** The game was originally going to be a capture-the-flag game with each character being a archetype. Read [[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/10/29/originally-playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-was-a-capture-the-flag-game/ here]]
** One of the biggest removals, were the Game Changers. It took the form of an item from another series like a Buzz controller or a Hot Shots Golf flag. Picking up a game changer would have initiated the mash-up, but was removed for a more natural occurrence.
** Possible final bosses could've been from specific games: the entire Helghan army, Dr. Nefarious, but Superbot wanted to find a way for you to fight [=PlayStation=] itself; thus, Polygon Man was selected.
** For specific character inclusions:
*** According to Seth Killian, a ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'' representative character was considered, but [=SuperBot=] was ultimately unable to decide how such a character would work.
*** [[https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/feb/05/oddworlds-abe-dlc-playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-cancelled/ Abe]] from ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}'' was a planned DLC character, but then canned during the merge to SSM. (Stewart Gilray later deleted the tweet and claimed he never posted it, but an ''Oddworld'' developer also [[https://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=47330604&postcount=929 confirmed it]].) Who was going to be his rival? Possibly [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon Dart]].

* StreisandEffect: Shortly after the infamous leaked concept art of Dart became widely-known, the artist Mike Edwards had his entire online portfolio where it was found taken down. Later on, the same thing happened the PSASBR section of Ky Bui, whose portfolio leaked the ''VideoGame/GravityRush[=/=]VideoGame/Journey2012'' stage. This all lead to the PSASBR community hunting down every last artist in the game's credits, [[http://community.[[https://web.archive.org/web/20151003004520/http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-All-Stars-Battle/List-of-contacts-reels-art-from-guys-at-SuperBot/td-p/41067631 finding nearly all the game's hidden concept art in the process]] (but nothing else of note).

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Due to the studio being new and unproven, many publishers refused to license their characters to Sony, most notably Creator/SquareEnix and Creator/{{Activision}} who were asked for any characters from ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', Lara Croft, [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]] or even Franchise/CrashBandicoot (all of them very iconic of the original UsefulNotes/PlayStation era), with both companies asking for high prices or pushing characters Superbot wasn't interested in.

* ShrugOfGod: Prior to the game's release, Omar Kendall was asked in an interview if Franchise/CrashBandicoot would be in the game. His response: [[MemeticMutation No]] [[TrollingCreator comment]]. Looking back, he probably said that because ''he knew'' Crash wouldn't make it due to Activision's excessive price tag for the license, and he didn't want to disappoint the fans. Presumably [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]] had the same issues.
