I bet if you polled gamers for a Pac-Man game or a Palutena game, Palutena would win. No one gives a crap about Pac-Man. For a Nintendo fan service game, that is doubly the case.

I don't give a crap about Palutena in Smash, but I do give a crap about Pac-Man.
Would have to agree. Pacman would lose free to any other namco character too aside from Mr. Driller
Sure, a game is different, though, especially considering how deeply embedded in gaming culutre Pac-Man is already. But for inclusion in Smash? I highly doubt it. Pac-Man has been anticipated for being in Smash for years to a decade (alongside Megaman), and started getting people hype once the Namco collaboration was announced. Palutena has had people hype since the leak, otherwise excitement was always on-par with other characters you would categorize unlikely.
I like not wasting my time more than I like wasting my time.
I wouldn't play as Pac Man but I'd still like to see him well represented in the game.
Pac Man is, whether or not you care about him, one of the most iconic characters in classic gaming history and arguably the mascot of Namco.

Isn't there a MKX stream/showing? Can't remember which site was going to do it.
Twitch is doing it, but it's tomorrow.
Will you be live streaming your seppuku when Bridget doesn't even get mentioned?
Will sub
which is why the official E3 scoreboard is the only rating that matters

I hope this new DB game has custom characters. It'll be hard to care otherwise.

I consider myself victorious.
What what? Palutena has been highly demanded since KI:U came out. I don't hear shit about Pac-Man anywhere other than "Ugh, I guess it will happen since NAMCO is involved".
Anything that's in the game, I want well-represented. The problem is that Pac-Man doesn't really have a consistent identity. He has a goddamn mech in SFxT!
Time zones on those times would be great. Where did you find all this out? Thank you for it, regardless.

I'm curious to see if Nintendo gets around the usual TST curse.
Thanks for this.

Palutena is also in what I consider to be one of the top 5 handheld games ever made. It's a pity gamer competence is so low on an unusual control scheme.
Imagine Sony.
Pac-Man more wanted than Palutena? I've gotten the complete opposite vibe from like ANY Smash related thread anywhere on the internet I've entered.
Anyway, FUCK YES at Palutena, boo at no Pokken (though there's at least time since Nintendo will be revealing more stuff throughout the event)

I think Pac-Man could easily have a great moveset. You could have a mode where he turns 2D and can sharply move up/down/left/right from short periods at a time, making him dangerous within a certain range. On top of that, you can build an easy resource game based on his power-ups and/or implement a Hakan-like oiling system that gives him a speed boost from ingesting fruits. You can pull normals and smashes from the 3D games. I just made this up now and I'm already more interested than what we got today.
EDIT: And I really have no personal affinity or nostalgia for the character either.

Hmm, is it safe to assume that all the characters in Smash will get their own figures?
If so, I think one of those pictures during the presentation showed Chrom; who is also on one of the leaks that has yet to be disproven.
game is cancelled
