Both betas will support cross-play between PS3 and PS Vita.

Here's a Sony statement on what to expect in the beta:

• You’ll be able to play in both the Metropolis and Hades stages.
• You’ll be able to try out four-player online tournaments and 2 vs 2 online tournaments. For the 2 vs 2 games we’ll be supporting friend invites, so you and a friend can fight another team online.
