All I know is Premium users put it on you. Like a "kick me" sign.
You don't know who does it or why, it just happens.

XD that's hilarious!

Here is the first page as well if anyone wanted it:

Edit - I love this one:

No ****s were given that day.

The eaten opponent becomes just eyes

Pac-Man confirmed most metal fighter.

 

[Nu~]

My theory on the multiple bounces was correct I see
I love everything they did with pac-man and I can't wait to see the rest of his alternate attacks.

 

[Pacack]

So, explosive fire hydrants, huh?




I like it.

 

[Bauske]

I like it.

It's my favorite so far. I want to throw exploding fire hydrants!

I have to admit, something about that smile of his fills my heart with rainbows.

My impression of the fire-spewing fire hydrant:

 

[Skyfox2000]

We haven't see much of Pac-Man lately!

 

[dimensionsword64]

Guys, I noticed something about Pac-Man.
In his reveal trailer, at 1:06, if you set the video to .25 speed, you can see something. A little bit after Pac-Man finishes eating the dots using his side special and is heading forward, he starts to tilt upwards a little bit and go up. However, the scene changes then, so we don't get to see more of it.

What could this mean? Can you slightly angle his side special even after he gets off the Pac-Dot line?

 

[ptrk83]

^ You can control the trajectory

 

[Pacack]

Lookie what I found!

Official art that depicts expressions and hobbies of Pac-Man that I hadn't seen before.

So I asked a friend (thanks @shrooby) to clean it up, and...

Tada!

It's not perfect, but it's much more than we had before. Feel free to try your hand at editing it more if you'd like.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Nice find. I would really like to see Namco explore some of these scenarios to flesh out the character. At the moment, he's still a bit closer to "Hello Kitty-style brand logo" than "mascot with a fleshed out character and world". But games like Pac-Man Monsters seem to be an attempt to reverse that trend.

Just saw this Pic of the Day:

"In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!"

I demand an unlockable "True All-Star Mode" that goes in reverse order. I like you Greninja, but there's no way anyone in their right might can have both Mr. Nintendo and the Grandfather of Video Games in Smash Bros and not have them be the Final Boss of All-Star Mode, especially when Namco is developing the game.

Ask, and you shall receive! Possibly...

 

[TechPowah]

Well, we DO still have the prospect of having an Event Match related to the 3rd parties.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

http://www.inside-games.jp/article/2014/09/05/80255.html

this confirms the starting roster

unless the 3rd parties are actually there for being guest stars

looks like we will be able to test out pac-man immediately

I'll be posting this information on threads that contain the characters mentioned and on the social thread. You can read in better detail by clicking on the link.

 

[Nu~]

That sucks. I knew he'd be slower, but not sluggish. Hopefully he makes up for it. Like snake and dedede did

 

[MachoCheeze]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAvtdsiTB7o

There's some Pac gameplay at the end of this video and I honestly don't think he looks that slow. Pretty floaty though!

 

[Nu~]

LOL he actually looks pretty fast. Ahh, i was about to be slightly dissapointed for a minute there. Im fine with the floatiness though. I was a G&W, R.O.B. and Olimar main. With the increase in combos in this game, being floaty should help. Especially with all the ground based fighters this time around (little mac, shulk, improved pit...)

 

[Bauske]

Exactly. I don't have a problem with slow and floaty. People seem to think being slow is a bad thing and the only good characters are the fast ones, but most of my favorites are Bowser, Game & Watch, Dedede, and Wolf. Pac-Man sounds like he's aiming to fit right alongside those guys, and that honestly makes me even more excited to play as him!

I just want to know more about his Bonus Fruit move and his costumes. I need to know these things!

Yeah, captain falcon is fast AND falls fast, but he won't ever be a top notch character.
its strange that no one wants to talk about his best moves; his specials

 

[Bauske]

I know! No one has even confirmed if he can hold a Bonus Fruit charge or what other fruits are involved. The most I've heard so far is "he selects fruit randomly," which isn't even true because Sakurai himself said it was a set order.

The person playing was too busy drooling over robin .
Apparently he was focused on using pacman's aerials because of how disjointed they are. I mean, disjointed moves are awesome (see snake) but I want to know about the moves that make him unique.

 

[Pacack]

I use Mr. Game and Watch a lot, so hopefully Pac-Man feels just like a better form of him. Quirky, but good.

That and I need to know what different costumes/palette swaps he has. People have been very vague about it because I don't think they know Pac-Man's history. Someone mentioned one of his outfits had him wearing socks??? That doesn't make any sense. I just want him to wear the Pac-Land hat!

Sorry for not being specific, but I think it was somewhere in this thread by Zipzo. Regardless of where it was, what I said up there was pretty much all that was said by the people who played it. In other words, nothing specific except "Pac-Man's color doesn't change, only his boots and gloves."

Casual Friday Pac-Man confirmed.

I was talking about the socks, actually. Didn't hear that one, despite reading all of the info Zipzo said.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

I'm surprised, but not deterred, by Pac-Man's supposed slow and floaty composition. I expected Pac-Man to be on the fast side of the cast, as I thought they'd go for a "hit and run" sort of playstyle in which he'd be easily maneuverable, able to make quick escapes and ambush attacks, like in the gameplay of the maze games. A slow and floaty Pac-Man is still Pac-Man, though, and I can see why they would've gone that route as well. And he can certainly be just fine, tourney-wise, with these statistics. It's rare, but not unheard of, for slower characters to place high on the tier list.

Very disappointed that he doesn't change color, though. I was probably one of the few regulars here who wanted him to actually change color instead of wearing accessories. I don't like what they've done with characters like Pikachu and Sonic (characters I often use) at all, and wish they'd have actual color changes as well. That alternate with the socks has me intrigued, though.

Spoiler

A Cylindria-themed alt, perhaps?

 

[Bauske]

Found it. It's on the first page of the Zipzo thread.

"His air falling speed is slow. He falls like there is no gravity, I kid you not. His alternate costumes consisted of only changes to his gloves and shoes. There was one extra costume where he is given socks that cover his legs."

In 2 days, this thread will be stickied in the Pac-Man sub forum.

Mark my words.

Oh man, I thought I wouldn't love this version of Pac-Man more than I do now, but this just takes the cake.

I can truly see the inspirations behind his charm in this game. Really sad how they don't keep to this today though because Ghostly Adventures.

 

[Staarih]

Ok, so Zipzo just confirmed in his Twitch stream that Pac-Man only has recolors which change his gloves and boots (so I assume his body remains the same?) plus one additional one where he has socks on (I think he said brown ones). So apparently no accesory ones or Ms. Pac-Man one.

 

[ptrk83]

^ a tad late. Lol

 

[Bauske]

Right, but I'm hoping he's wrong and just didn't pay attention. I can understand SOME of the alt colors being just glove and boot color changes, but to reference Pac-Land so much and not give him the hat? That's madness!
