Sakurai confirms Smash trailer at E3 direct!
- Thread starter KojiKnight
- Start date
I'm not sure if we'll see the return of the Dojo. It started the daily updates a year after the first game's trailer was released. Maybe instead of it we will see more Nintendo Direct coverage along with Iwata Asks interviews leading up to its release. We'll probably get an update for the Fall Conference too.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I don't want mind what the roster looks like as long as it's devoid of stupid Namco shit, especially anything like Gundam.
Pac-man is all we need. And all we'll get.
his neutral-a was annoying as hell

Considering how many games Pac-Man and Mario have been in together, you are probably right. I kinda hope we get some other Namco stuff with assist trophies.

A Soul Calibur character would be a nice throwback to Link in SC2.
If I had to pick one Namco character to be in Smash it'd be Klonoa, though Pac's the obvious one.

Why not? Pac-Man is to Arcade gaming what Mario is to console gaming.

Totally forgot about Gundams ! I'm pretty sure we'll have one now and everybody will hate it.

Harada said Tekken characters wouldn't be a good fit, so don't expect any.

History of gaming needs to be im a game like smash. Smash games are videogame museums. Pacman is absolutely history of gaming, and you are deluding yourself if you are thinking otherwise.
Same with sonic and megaman, you can like them more or less, but if third parties are goint to have characters those are the most important to be in.

Yeah but he's a popular recognisable character. Klonoa and anybody from the Tales games aren't.But Pac-man is too predictable

Oh man, can't wait! Melee is still the best offline multiplayer game I have ever played. Countless of hours of cursing and fun....
He'd be no more out-of-place in Smash than he was in Street Fighter X Tekken.
How does it feel wrong? He's Namco's mascot character. And with his inclusion the awesome mascot super battle of Mario vs Sonic vs Pac-Man vs Megaman will be one step closer to reality.

So not even Gon?
Poor guy he didn't even make it in TTT2
He's not a Tekken character, he's a character from a Manga and was a guest in T3.

While I agree having Pac-man is a given, it's really hard to imagine what his moveset would be. Also what his stage, being primarily known for being overhead, will be like.

I hope they don't give us the modern 3d version of Pacman but the classic yellow circle with a triangle mouth. Fighting a flat two dimensional circle would only work in SSB and is strangely appealing but I doubt they could pull it off.
Probably less the issue of pulling it off and more that Namco presumably wouldn't allow it.
Unless the 2D version involves his Final Smash or something.

Sony Smash style.

Has Pac-Man even made a single meaningful contribution to gaming outside of his first game and its various ports?
And without even tackling the obvious problem of no moveset, what would his stage and music be? A 75m like recreation of the Pac-Man maze? And THIS?
(Or are they going to pull things from his various 3D "adventures", aka things absolutely no one associates Pac-Man with or gives a fuck about?)
And that thing looks way better on box-arts and in concept art than in-game, apparently. Because if Ghostly Adventure is any indication...
...THIS is what you'll get.

Pac-Man has been in 3 Mario games, so he is more likely than most other characters.
The lack of a moveset really hurt Captain Falcon, huh? They won't ignore his 3D games, they didn't ignore Sonic 06 in Brawl.

As much as I'd hate Pac-Man in Smash, I feel like I could actually appreciate it if his moveset was based off Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. He would have a Hang Glider, a Mine Cart, a Slingshot (I know it's not his slingshot, but work with it), and another boring fly around and destroy Final Smash.
But best of all, his emotions would play into his moveset somehow--Lucario's Aura mechanic on crack. If Pac-man gets a kill, his confidence and mood improve; he'll gain super armor on a few attacks and gain a boost in speed. Pac-Man gets gimped at low percent? Now he's fuming, and he's going to run a train on everyone. Pac-Man down 1 stock to 4? He's so depressed he won't even respond to your inputs and sulks himself right off the stage.
It'll be amazing.

I don't see why Megaman can't make it besides Capcom trying to kill him, Capcom has a fetish for Nintendo consoles anyway. It's destiny.
I rather Pacman than some human Namco character from SC or Tekken.

Releasing Monster Hunter on Nintendo consoles does not equal a fetish.

lol no. Just because Capcom released one MonHun game and one good Resident Evil game doesn't equate to a fetish. Just no
Yeah I would be fine with B but I don't like the stick legs on D
See, if the Pac gets in, I would rather style B or D, not the shit we're getting now
My expectation for the changes in the roster are :
Ghost Hunter Luigi replace Luigi
Adult Link from Skyward Sword
Gold replace Red for the Pokemon Trainer, with the Gold Silver Starters
Ganondorf from Wind Waker
Wolf or Falco will leave the roster, probably Wolf.
Sonic and Snake will remain, Bayonetta will join the roster.
Lucario will be replaced by a Black/White or X/Y counterpart, probably Mew Three

The only think that I could hate about pacman's inclusion is that they use the new blue eyes version (that sadly is the most probable thing). What i would like is if it appears in 1930's cartoon eyes 3D version and turns into a giant original pixel pacman to munch every one in his final smash. The moveset can be taken from a mixture of eating pellets and ghots jokes and its different platformer games.
Sakurai, please do the sensible thing.
Sakurai, please do the sensible thing.
I was actually saying that megaman is one of the characters that need to be in smash if third party characters are included. Pacman, megaman and sonic. It would be sad if some tekken character appears instead of pacman in the namco side.
Why would they do anything in regards to it? They're both coming. They're both said to be connectable in one way or another. What problem could there be?

As long as there's cursing, blood and partial nudity.
The only way we'll get the Ouendan/EBA.

Oh, I know, haha. I don't actually care about the kid from beyblade, I just think he looks really funny.
So now that that's said....which Digimon is going to be in Smash?
