Nariko's fighting style is described as "high risk, high reward" by designer Seth Killian in the video above, while Fortesque is said to be much slower and more methodical. Both characters, however, use weapons culled from the annals of their respective series' history.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: The video originally embedded above, belonging to Gamespot, has been <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4Hd6-zjvxg&amp;feature=player_embedded">set to private</a>. We have replaced the video with a mirror <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsOcEakZHdY">located here</a> and have updated this post's source link to reflect that change.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/30/nariko-and-fortesque-confirmed-for-playstation-all-stars/">Nariko and Fortesque confirmed for PlayStation All-Stars [update]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:30:00 EST.
