Just like me! I was once gannondorf4ever..and everything changed..I don't think that's what he meant. If that was the case then how is that any different to adding any character from a new Nintendo series?
Either way Pac definitely fits the description of "the absolute most recognizable characters".
I read a study recently that concluded Pacman had the highest brand awareness of any video game character in the USA. Just pulling the stats up now he was recognised by 94% Americans with Mario just behind at 93.
That coupled with Namco co-developing the game is an incineratingly good argument for his chances being so high.
However I'd guess his brand awareness would be relatively lower in Japan where it really counts. That's why Tekken still has a (very small) chance.
Sadly I won't be MBP for long though. I'm evolving into my real form soon.
You're right with your points, I also agree with SSBF thought that I've seen absolutely no indication from Namdai that they've even considered Pac. The same could be said for Mega BUT Pac has contenders where Mega does not.
