Yup! From Pac-Man 2. In all actuality, it wasn't used by Pac-Man in that game, but the player used it to direct Pac-Man's attention to what he wanted. I honestly would love a Pac-Man 2 reference in Pac-Man's moveset, and I've stated it before for having the hang glider be his Up B. Here, I'll quote my post in the Pac-Man support thread:
It's not that he's bland, it's that he just looks weird. like, serial killer levels of creepy.
.
I don't really see Pac-Man as creepy as Villager.
Do you mean Villager? Little Mac looks like a Brooklyn kid helping out at his local shelter.
He really isn't that much more interesting than most people were insinuating though, I mean, besides his KO uppercut... he meets expectations.
louie where'd you get that avatar
Don't like his modern design? Well with Mega Man going retro, there's no reason Pac-Man couldn't as well. Wouldn't this be fine?
I feel like you worded it correctly. That is essentially how I feel.
That's a pretty good way to put it, honestly.
That's my most wanted version of Pac-Man, personally.Don't like his modern design? Well with Mega Man going retro, there's no reason Pac-Man couldn't as well. Wouldn't this be fine?
Oh? I'm interested.
Eww, those shoes...I'd prefer it if they were simple like in the World games or the arcade art.
Better, but he still needs to lose the fingers.Don't like his modern design? Well with Mega Man going retro, there's no reason Pac-Man couldn't as well. Wouldn't this be fine?
You are really, really particular, aren't you?
It all comes down to moveset design and what they could offer to diversify the roster. It isn't really about the aesthetics but rather the function. In this case, let's go back to WL and WW Wario. What can WL offer? A shoulder bash, a buttstomp and throwing enemies. The latter is a bit difficult to implement, but the former two are pretty standard fighting moves. Having them be designed to have large roles would be underwhelming. WL Wario is a pretty straightforward "beat up what's in the way" character archetype, compared to the zaniness and laziness of Warioware Wario. WW Wario may NOT do much in terms of actual fighting, but imagining him fight is an easy task that's open to be creative. Warioware Wario in Brawl kinda fills the acrobatic fat style that Smash doesn't have (see: Rufus in Street Fighter, Bob in Tekken). Pull in moves from various Warioware stuff, and you got yourself a largely unique utility based fighter that's unheard of in Smash. (Besides Snake in a way) Project M Wario in comparison is pretty much another Jigglypuff.
I see them as different as MvC3 Ryu is from SF4 Ryu. The differences pretty much comes from the different mechanical designs of the games.
True, there are many instances where a character who never really displayed much in terms of fighting ability was given a made up move set that fit with the character. Sheik is just one such character; despite not doing much in Ocarina of Time outside of teleporting and playing a harp, since Sheik was clearly ninja-esque, they gave her a ninja-esque move set. That sort of interpretation seems to be the route they go for when a character doesn't display a lot of abilities in their games.
wow, wouldn't mind that one honestly.Don't like his modern design? Well with Mega Man going retro, there's no reason Pac-Man couldn't as well. Wouldn't this be fine?
Yeah, that's basically what I was thinking, too. Just saying that "Oh but he only eats" is sort of a moot argument by itself, even beyond the fact that it's not true.
Of course, I am an artist, after all.
Thank the Gods! Someone here shares the same opinion as I.Here's to hoping Pacman, Chorus Men and Miis all end up just being assist trophies
I really like this roster. Personally, I would sub anna for ray01 and shulk for isaac, but that's more personal preference.
I 100% agree.Here's to hoping Pacman, Chorus Men and Miis all end up just being assist trophies
Uh, hello? Like opinion, over here.
Oh, I thought that the Pac-Man supporters were getting to you, good to know that you are still sane.
Um... I kind of actually want Pac-Man and Miis...Here's to hoping Pacman, Chorus Men and Miis all end up just being assist trophies
I found it when searching "Mewtwo Cartoon" on Google.
Kenith
is becoming convinced about Pac-Man?They all have enough merit to be something more.Here's to hoping Pacman, Chorus Men and Miis all end up just being assist trophies
Then it would mostly be a matter of how creative one can get, if you can't think of anything for Pac-Man, you just need to look harder. Sakurai has made many diverse choices, it would be easy for him to think of something for Pac-Man. I'm thinking one method would be to make him a grappling character of sorts, if most of his moves were bites, he could latch onto the opponent for a short moment for those, which is only currently done by a few characters with only a single move. This could make for an interesting bait and chase mechanic that would be very true to the original Pac-Man as well, he could have a few fake-outs that would lead to false security in the opponent before they end up chomped, similar to Pac being backed into a corner before getting a power pellet and eating the ghosts. It would certainly be a different grapple mechanic from the likes of the Ice Climbers or Dedede, he could even potentially have aerial grapples. It's just a quick thought, but it's possible.
I guess I would not mind pacman, but I think there are so many other better potential characters
I would have said the same thing about Wii Fit Trainer.
You mean Pac-Man biting and moving the opponent like a snake, that would be very creepy.. ;____;
Understanding someone else's opinion is not the same as actually wanting what they want, or agreeing with them.Oh, I thought that the Pac-Man supporters were getting to you, good to know that you are still sane.
