I might actually be the only person that does not want any third-party characters at all. I would be completely and utterly fine if we did not get another one; this includes Snake (Big Boss), one of my favorite video-game characters of all time.
Nah, I prefer to be friendly with everyone, in fact. XD... Because, who knows? can be you rubbing in my face the lack of Pac-Man tomorrow. =P (I hope not, lol)
Wow.... sorry about your pacman.
maybe, I mean fire emblem and pokemon made it in...but they are more iconic so there's that...
You and I both know that's not actually the case, though. Layton has to jump through all the same hoops that any other Third Party has to.
I can imagine it only if pacman is also in, but not as playable but as a summon.
No.
Honestly, though, I cannot see Layton getting in and Pac-Man not. That would just make no sense.
yeah, but the hoops are really big it's more like walking down a hallway than jumping through hoops
I am fairly pretentious; and I did rub Toon Link, Phantom as a move-set element and solo-Charizard (which did not actually work because people were excited by the prospect). However, I would never do that if I was not antagonized for my beliefs. The Pac-Man supporters have been nothing short of respectful. I will certainly be glad once he is revealed, not for me (of course), but for his fans and his supporters. I will tip my (Sharknado) hat to you if and when the Pacster is confirmed.
It's quite possible, Sakurai only said Namco wouldn't get special treatment for playable characters, Assists could be a different story.
I, to an extent, feel that way too. I could live without Snake, but now I can't help but feel like he's owed to me with Sanic and Astro Boy.
I never thought about that; I am purposely going to have a Mega Man, Sonic, Snake, and Pac-Man free-for-all (once I unlock them) just to spite Nintendo!
I'd rather not, cause some third parties are more recognized Nintendo icons than some on the roster. like Megaman, for example.
It's never that easy for any non-1st party
Why the heck would they go through all the paper work to get allow Nintendo the rights of pac-man, just to have him poorly represented as an assist?
Except all those Pokemon...
I really like this perspective sir. respect above all the things.. ^^ you maybe don't respect the character (I guess?) how he deserves, but respecting us, supporters, is already a big thing. ^^
Well sakurai did say that even adding pokemon was a difficult endeavor.
maybe it's a hallway with boobytraps
nah, it would be too easy for a puzzle solver like layton
Maybe that was good as they could get, Namco would push for Pac you know. And POORLY represented? being an assist is the proper way to use him.
Yeah seems real tough what with the nine Pokemon characters in Smash to date.
you saw right through me on that one. how'd you know I was going to go that route?
Yeah! Being an assist trophy and solidifying Pac-Man as an arcade one-shot wonder whose recent games aren't worthy of representation even when Namco is advertising them to high heaven is definitely the proper way to use him!
perhaps u need the source?Yeah seems real tough what with the nine Pokemon characters in Smash to date.
With the hundreds of people I've seen who don't want to see his face at all, I bet at least half of them would settle for assist status.
You may have me there, but showing him in his arcade incarnation would only degrade pac-man to the status of a forgotten one-shot wonder/hasbin from the golden age.
I agree 100%
I'm aware of what Sakurai said, and it might be hard to negotiate with them at times, but clearly it's no trouble to get characters like Pikachu or Jiggs in there, it really depends on who in that series we're talking about.
What final? I could help!It sucks that I have to be at school tomorrow.
To top it off I have to make up a final. Blegh.
All while trying to stay completely spoiler free.
True, I was referring to Layton. In this case, it would be much harder to add him than a recurring icon such as Pikachu.
Well he doesn't have to be his arcade version, his modern look would work better anyway.
That's uhh... kinda what I had in mind, yeah.
in all honesty, isn't pacman that already to the general public?
Having a mascot with a legendary status in Smash Bros as an assist trophy because the vocal minority doesn't respect him for whatever reason seems awfully silly to me.
well, obviously.
The detractors will find any excuse...but whatever. The trailer will enlighten all non-pac-believers
His inclusion in Smash is an insult to his legacy if he does not have the "honor" of being playable? That logic is certainly fallacious.
