That's pretty subjective. He has spin attacks, corkscrews, transformations, the Shooting Star move, possibly Moe the Clam, as well as the potential to borrow a couple of moves from his sister Starly. And he can glide, as well. Maybe even give some of his moves water effects. Plenty of potential there.
top choice for me. i think he more than deserves it as far as 3rd party characters are concerned
welcome aboard. its fine a lot of us agree on certain scenarios for Smash so being similar isnt a bad thing
OP on the Pac-Man thread said:
*Reads one comment and wants to reply*
I find that the hype actually comes moreso from the inclusion of Megaman. Between Megaman, Sonic, Mario and Pac-Man, you've pretty much got the ultimate grudge match between the pioneers of gaming mascots, from back when mascots defined the industry.
Pac-Man is popular as a classic Arcade Game and not so much anything else. Yeah, he had some okay games on Wii and those Pac-Man World titles, but he's not very popular in those as much as Sonic, Snake, or Mega Man are in their numerous titles. Modern Pac-Man games never really caught on to most. Bomberman games are like an infestation. You can agree Pac-Man being a legendary arcade classic is enough to get him in, but comparing him to Bomberman he's a classic and he's pretty popular in modern games too on almost every device known to man.
Don't forget Water attacks!
Nobody gave a **** about Pac-man until it was revealed that the company Namco Bandai was involved with the development.
If you ask me, Namco Bandai working with Super Smash Brothers is the only thing that made him remotely likely. And that's not a thing anymore (although I actually never ONCE thought that would get him in even before Sakurai stated that.)
i know i personally wanted him way before Sonic. thats for dam sure. sure, Namco working on the game added to his support. but saying nobody cares about him is an extreme exaggeration
WROOOONG!!!
I find your logic regarding Bomberman and Pac-Man to be faulty. Bomberman is pretty much just as bad as Pac-Man in regards to the quality of his games - every worthwhile Bomberman game is simply an extension of the original Bomberman 'bombs-and-blocks in a grid' formula, just as every worthwhile Pac-Man game is just an extension of the dots-in-a-maze formula. If you don't want Pac-Man, that's fine, but arguing that Bomberman is somehow more deserving seems like a dead-end argument to me - Pac-Man is both more popular among Smash fans (check the polls), more popular worldwide and although the quality of their games is subjective, every widely considered 'good' game from both characters is simply an update on the original Pac-Man/Bomberman concepts.
Actually Pac-Man is nothing compared to Sonic and his games that were out by that time. And comparing Pac-Man's legacy to Bomberman IS crazy because it's nowhere near as good as Bomberman's.
My welcome?

What an arrogant assumption that people only want a video game classic like Pacman just because he's "in the now". Bull****, the same criticism can be EASILY applied directly to Megaman, or any other Namco property. I get it if you don't like the character, but don't write off his support like its nothing or that it means nothing. He still has a dedicated fanbase that wants him in the game, and by God, it would be awesome.
I never liked Project Aces because they worked with Namco to make Ace Combat, I liked Project Aces because of what they made with Namco... until CoD popularity poisoned the series with.... THAT game....*shudders*
Delicious denial.

What was he denying?Something you must be used to, huh? 'Delicious denial'?
*raises hand shyly*
Yes, I'm in so much denial that Pac-man will get in, despite people being pessimistic towards the idea and third party characters are an extremely picky process. It doesn't mean jack if Nacmo is involved with Super Smash Bros., it doesn't matter if Pac-man is riding on the arcade game of the same name as his only note worthy appearance, and it doesn't matter if a vocal minority want a washed up character who doesn't offer anything special. If the only reason why Pac-man is even being bright is because of Namco, that is depressing.Something you must be used to, huh? 'Delicious denial'?
I've NEVER EVER EVEEEERRR SAID Namco is getting special treatment. I SAID that Pacman would have a better chance because of his legacy and what he means to the franchise. Namco being there helps, no doubt, but still, if Pacman got in, its because he deserves it. Same logic with Megaman being in the game - yes, Namco is there, but Megaman has his worth, and so does Pacman.
You don't want Habanero to turn the heat on you.Something you must be used to, huh? 'Delicious denial'?
Let's not forget the DK spoof Wreck it Ralph, and the appearance of Sonic and Pacman... (wait a sec, wasn't Bomberman in the movie too?)
It's not that people only started caring NOW, but people cared a lot less than they did now.

I honestly stopped giving a **** about what people think of me on this forum since the day I joined. I'll take care of my own shovel, but I'm not the one whose going to be buried.
WHAT does THIS add to the discussion?*Yaaawn* What a nice nap, good to be feeling so refreshed. So what's going on in he-

Your questioned wasn't directly answered to you, but I believe this is the same stage as the one presented a few days ago. Except the reset bomb in the background of the previous screenshot seems to have been activated and has changed the stage layout (Or at least the background and lighting).Dammit, I couldn't sleep a wink last night...I guess spending said time watching Game Grumps and Pokemon Movies is a good suffice. Anyways, as for the photo of the day...
What the hell is this supposed to be? It looks like the inside of someone's guts. Does anyone know what this...place/thing...is exactly?
That was Noah's mistake.
HO SHAHP!!!
Humor. Humor is good. It lightens the mood.WHAT does THIS add to the discussion?
I'm as serious about my opinions as anybody else on this forum. I'm so tired of people accusing me of trolling when they don't even understand what the term means...
Or... we could try to start a meme war until this weird conversation is over and get some laughs out of it along the way.*Yaaawn* What a nice nap, good to be feeling so refreshed. So what's going on in he-

It adds the fact that I actually have to dream to imagine a better discussion as this one seems to be going downhill faster than a sliding Stone Kirby...WHAT does THIS add to the discussion?
