Namco Character discussion

That 2nd part wasn't towards what you said. More or less what Gingerbread Man said.

See i'm the exact opposite. I find Pac-Man incredibly boring as a character for Smash. It also worries me that all they could come up with for him in Street Fighter X Tekken was a robot suit. Obviously there were reasons for that, but it still bugs me.

I think Sakurai could be very clever with Pac-Man in Smash and he could have a moveset that is outrageous like Mr. Game & Watch.

I think Llyod Irving would be funny but I think he is too much like a Fire Emblem character only double-sworded. I am not really feeling Tekken since it already is a serious fighter game and Smash is not a serious fighter game. Digdug is an option that I would like but isn't popular enough to get the spot.

Harada, Tekken's producer, sees Smash as a "serious" fighter.
Aside from that, a quick look into the cast of Tekken, and while it has it's share of darkness, it's also has it's share of silliness as well. I mean, would you really expect a farting bear as a fighter?

Was it due to Mario's poker face in Brawl?

You should actually play both games.

They are nothing alike.

You are correct, Fire Emblem is a strategy game. However, when it comes to move sets, Llyod would likely play similar to a FE character.

Lloyd has a projectile and would be a combo heavy character.

You were saying?

 

[FalKoopa]

Also, no FE character wields dual swords.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Basing a character strictly on appearance is silly. That's like saying Waluigi can't get in because he looks like Mario.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Also, no FE character wields dual swords.

Lyn does in her Awakening artwork, but then again she never actually used two swords at once in the Fire Emblem games.

 

[Fastblade5035]

Also, no FE character wields dual swords.

Perhaps not, but Swordmasters in Awakening (Say 'Ri, Lon'qu, Lyn) have two swords that they never use. And considering Sakurai made Ness a moveset with things he doesn't have, it's not too impossible for Lyn to be a duel wielder.
But ON Topic, the only characters I really know are Lloyd and Pac-Man, so... yeah

 

[FlareHabanero]

Besides, why should we settle for only 2 swords when we could have 8?

Those two are at the moment the most popular among the Namco choices, so don't feel hard pressed.

That's one reason.

On top of that, he has a gun.

He'd easily be the most unique character ever seen in Smash.

 

[final lap]

oh my gosh you guys

Susumu is playable in a game called Pac Man World Rally. He's an unlockable character in the PSP version.

That aside it is food for thought. It is a primarily Pac Man themed game, and out of the few out-of-series reps to be included, Mr. Driller was one of them.

Here's the full roster for the record:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man_World_Rally
All the characters are from Pac-Man except for The Prince, Mappy, Susumu, and the 2 enemies from Dig Dug.
11 Pac-Man characters, 5 out of series characters.

Implying that guests in a Namco game is surprising. lol

Ok then he is Link lol. I guess I am basing it on Super Smash Flash 2 where his moveset was basically kind of like a FE character and he looks like a FE character. I have never played his games to be honest. However, we have FE/Zelda for fantasy sword-fighter/knight style characters locked down so Pac-man would at least be more unique.

 

[Carlo_H.Luz]

Siegfried (SoulCalibur)
Kazuya (Tekken)

 

[final lap]

Susumu, as in Taizo Hori's metrosexual son?

Ahem! I'll have you know he wears a pink shirt at home, and the shirt has a heart on it!

Damn, if only Dillon was a more major series to warrant two characters....
The more I see of Nomad, the more frigging epic he looks.

 

[LaniusShrike]

I personally would love to see Dig Dug in the game. He wields a giant drill that turns into a harpoon to skewer his foes which then turns into an air pump to make his enemies explode?
HARDCORE.

[FalKoopa]

I'm sure someone would confuse a Dig Dug character as someone from the Toon Link games.

 

[LaniusShrike]

Hehe, Mr. Driller should just be a clone of Toon Link. He'd swing his drill around like a sword, he'd lob exploding drill bombs, throw a drill-erang, and shoots a bow and drillow.
... I'd play that character.

 

[volbound1700]

Also, no FE character wields dual swords.

Yes but you could find one that will wield dual swords. When I played Llyod in Super Flash 2, he had Fire Emblem written all over him in style of play.

Have you played any Fire Emblem games?

 

[volbound1700]

No, and I know the series are not the same. They are as different as Age of Empires is to Legend of Zelda. I want to play Fire Emblem but their games are $40.00 or more on Ebay and I won't spend that much money on Ebay. They are also hard to find retail.

My point is that Llyod plays a lot like Ike with two swords and less weight.

I haven't played the Flash Bros game, but Lloyd would be much more likely to play like the faster multi-hit sword users like MetaKnight and Pit. He also would have a projectile, most likely. You should look up some Tales of Symphonia gameplay... his combat style is more about constantly approaching enemies through combos and maneuvers.

Heres the link to Smash Flash.

Anyway, i'd like to say that the way a character playd in a fan game can be very different from how one would play in an official game.

 

[FalKoopa]

I didn't really enjoy using Lloyd in SSF2.

I hope they bring some changes in the next version (0.9b)

 

[Knight Dude]

I still want Heihachi Mishima.

Look. At. What. He. Can. Do.

And the dude has a Grizzly Bear for a pet.

Then there's his theme....

 

[LaniusShrike]

... Wow, Smash Flash is really well-made, thanks for the link. I played another Smash flash game that was awful so I didn't look much further.

Anyway, while I think Lloyd would have somewhat similar specials as his flash incarnation, I think his standards would make him feel a lot faster. This guy really is Ike feeling while in his own game it's more of a death-by-a-thousand-cuts style.

You mean Ike plays a lot like Lloyd but with one sword and more weight?

Not to bring down Ike or anything but Lloyd has a much higher potential in terms of his moveset.

Imagine Namco Bandai is allowed 4 character slots for the upcoming Smash Bros. sequel, but only 1 character from each game/franchise is permitted. What are your picks?

List of Namco Bandai Games - Wikipedia

My picks:

1. Digimon Trainer(?) with Agumon/WarGreymon (Digimon)
2. Klonoa (Klonoa)
3. Jin Kazama (Tekken)
4. Taizo Hori (Dig-Dug)

 

[Deleted member]

Goku isn't eligible.

Onto the topic, four Namco Bandai characters would be absolutely awful and I would consider not buying the game if we had to deal with that many, but stomaching the four most bearable choices:

1. Agumon (Digimon)
2. Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia)
3. Dig-Dug (Dig-Dug)
4. Pac-Man (Pac-Man)

The last choice I'm very much against having BTW, but as much as I dislike Pac-Man as a choice, he beats everyone else.

 

[FalKoopa]

Imagine Namco Bandai is allowed 4 character slots for the upcoming Smash Bros. sequel

I really, really hope not.

The four choices would be Lloyd, Pac-Man, someone from Dig-Dug and <insert another Namco franchise here.>

 

[Rosalina suporter]

My picks:
(1).Pac-Man(Pac-Man)
(2).Klonoa(Klonoa)
(3).Dig-Dug(Dig-Dug)
(4).Amul(Dragon Spirit)

 

[Neanderthal]

1) Kazuya (Tekken)
2) Pac Man
3) Sophita, Rock or Siegfried (Soul Calibre)
4) Agumon (Digimon)

 

[kikaru]

Lloyd, Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, some important Tekken character. Btw that's a beautiful signature you have there Neanderthal.

 

[Swamp Sensei]
