With the recent thread discussing how PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale would have fared had it released today, I thought it would be fun to look at what a potential roster could look like. Of course, there are a few caveats:
Characters that appear in Super Smash Bros. are off limits. So this means Cloud and Solid Snake won't be making the cut, even though they are highly associated with the Sony brand.
Every character must have appeared on a Sony console and be considered most closely tied to Sony out of the current three First Party Platforms.
First Party characters that appeared in the original PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will also be here, replicating the "every Smash Bros. character ever" in Ultimate's roster. So yes, Fat Princess has a roster spot. However, Big Daddy and Issac Clarke aren't.
And lastly, I think it's important to remember that for some people were introduced to certain franchises because of Smash Bros. Also, there's a history of fun (or joke) characters being present, so that's something I think should happen with PSASBRU.
Now, time for the roster!
One important element of Smash Bros. are different costumes and alternate versions of characters. Obviously this would be pretty easy for this roster. From a God of War 3 Kratos, to young Nathan Drake, to DmC Dante, and several Sora costumes. Most of the characters present have several costumes/forms that would be a natural fit. And some would rotate between different characters, such as:
So, there you have it! The ultimate Sony tournament fighting roster. It's not comprehensive, as there are still more characters that deserve to be on here, but that's what discussion is for. Era, what do you think of this roster? Who would you add? Who would you remove?
Let's have fun with this. I'll try to update the OP later with more images and to make it look nicer, and I'll try to include the best suggestions I can.

Dark Eco Jak
Sackgirl
Continuing with the theme of matching Smash Bros., this roster will offer the same varied playstyles you know and love. Obviously basic archetypes like Brawlers, Sword Users, Projectile Users, etc. are here. Importantly though, some of the more unique fighters like Ice Climbers (Iota and Aoi), Game and Watch (Vibri) and Ron the Robot (Asobi) are here.

Why are some people petitioning Nintendo to include Crash Bandicoot in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
