Ya know, I expected all this (except Shulk trailer instead of Palutena, but I knew Palutena would show up eventually) but this was nice! The first part of the day I didn't feel much cause I was neutral to Miis and while I think they're handled well (only allowed with friends, thank you!) I just kinda...don't care... Then there was Palutena who looks great! She looks pretty god-tier if I do say so myself, but still...somehow couldn't bring myself to care. The invitational was hype and I was jumping but I knew Pac-Man had to be around the corner - it's E3! I was neutral, but yeah, that shot where he's just taunting with Pikachu... something clicked! I wanna give him loads of hugs! Maybe I'll be playing a lot of Pac!
Anyhoo. G'night folks. This has been a pretty nice day!

So at the end of the trailer of Pac man we see Game and watch and Pac pointed at and then we see the head of Mairo and some of other character.

Just who is that other character with the fluffy brown hair? Could it be DK or someone else?

It was clearly DK, because he and mario debuted in the same game in 1981

So game and watch semi confirmed?
Also I can't believe no questions were about roster size, or about having to make cuts in order for the 3ds and wii u to have the same roster

Wow, did Sakurai just made a probable moveset for Pacman?
This is great! He looks so much better than I expected. And really fun and creative too!
(And I didn't exactly like him.)
Sakurai, you are great.

They did a much better job with him and Mega Man than they did Sonic. Wish they'd have worked some more of Sonic's history into him like they have with Mega and Pac.

Agreed, having seen their treatment of Megaman and Pac-Man, I wish they had given Sonic equal care. His classic incarnation from Sonic Generations would have been a perfect fit here.

His alt costume should have his pacland hats lol.
Why is his fire hydrant 3d but his fruit 8bit?, you'd think it would be all 8bit or all 3d.

What game is the fire hydrant referencing? Maybe it's something obvious but nothing comes to mind.

Do we know of any potential Smash related news coming from E3 from the next two days? To be honest I expected at least a couple veterans alongside the newcomers.

so let me get this straight:

You customize your character by 2 meaning:

1 derivation of specials (3 per moves so total = 12)
2 equipment that needs to be collected in other modes.

smash run was designed to be able to get those collectible easier and can be transferred to the WiiU version.

Is it right?

"However, Mii Fighters and Palutena don't have spin-off variations, but rather completely unique types of attacks."

Oh, I think I see what you mean. For instance, conventional characters have different versions of the same move (Mario's fireballs) while Miis and Palutena have totally different moves (IE Warp and Angelic Missile). My bad.

So did the Pacman trailer just show 3 new Wii U Stages? A retro-looking one, the interior of a tower composed of blocks, and a new Yoshi stage? I'm intrigued by what the first two stages I mentioned come from...I don't seem to recognize them

Palutena and Mii are unique in that the custom moves aren't variations on their standard moves, but completely separate attacks. That's what they're saying. Hopefully they're not the only ones.

Yeah I think you can change your smash moves with either variations or completely different moves (depending on the character).
Then you can alter the stats of your character as a way to customize as well.

Why do I have the feeling that it can make competitive more diverse?

Like if viable, I think it can improve it.

Just saw the Pacman reveal trailer. Pretty neat--definitely an oddball character.

Pac-Man, in all honesty, is pretty meh to me. I didn't really support the idea of him being in, but it seems like he turned out better than I expected.

The collectable character buffs seem like a superfluous feature that most players will turn off. The different special move options have some potential though, as long as it's well balanced.

Is there a reason everyone thinks that Snake is automatically de-confirmed because of Pac-Man?
A really good reason like a quote or something?
