New Smash Bros for WiiU

[PsychoIncarnate]

The thing I've always wondered is how would he fight. I'm rather amazed that the guys at Capcom turned him into a Mokujin-mecha user ala Tron Bonne. It's like they couldn't think of anything else for him.

Well, in his adventure games he just eats things, rolls, and butt slams

...

He could be a Yoshi clone

 

[Oasis_S]

Pac-Man should have had the ability to place (or suspend) pellets on the stage, maybe four at a time, then he'd have an attack where he would do his famous CHOMPING in a straight line, turning at right angles when reaching the pellet to go to the next (if turning is required).

Or something.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Either that or his recovery can stop him in place for a moment and you can move the analog stick to draw a line of pellets in whatever way you want in a few seconds and at the end you speed through eating them.

 

[ssbowns]

Pacman has also eaten so many ghosts he should be able to puke them out, different ghosts moving at different angles.

And he can "teleport", dunno how it could be used, maybe he could intentionally jump outside boundaries from the right side and then appear from the left side (won't work if he's in air because of getting hit). Oh and the newest game had that radial "clear all" move which could also be used. Final Smash could just be ripped off from Sonic and the other "super modes".

I can see him having enough moves.

What's goooooooood?

Final Smash for Pac better be none other than power pellets.

Everyone turns blue, and if they come in contact with Pacman, he chomps them OHKO.

 

[Oasis_S]

What's goooooooood?

Everytime you say that...

Close, but not so close.

Watching the review of Mortal Kombat Annihilation from NC

One thing that bugs me is his hate of the characters sub zero and scorpion returning.

That is actually the real story of Mortal Kombat

The movie sucks, but you can't use the necessary plot elements from the actually game to justify it's suckiness

 

[Holder of the Heel]

The only thing "good" is that Final Smash. With that and the recovery I made up I guess it could be a pretty decent character.

And yeah that movie was absolutely disappointing, I actually really enjoyed the first movie....

Why thanks Holder. (-UvU-) I think I'd want to support Pacman now... he'd be not too out of place for Smash, and like who wouldn't recognise him?

 

[Hoots]

Except the lame factor. Pacman might be the only character more uninteresting than Ryu. And it doesn't matter that people recognize him, he doesn't have that same level of appreciation that characters like Snake and Sonic have. Everyone KNOWS Pacman, but who plays his game and thinks, "he would ne awesome in Smash. I feel like the only reason people support him is because "ZOMG HE IS CLASSIC AND EVERYBODY KNOWS HIM!" which we know is a terrible reason.

 

[Oasis_S]

Hoots is probably just some young gamer who doesn't appreciate old characters like Pac-man and the duck hunting dog. He only likes those "cool" newfangled characters that use computers and such.

That isn't the whole story of Mortal Kombat lol, but yeah, Annihilation was hilariously bad

Especially the part with Sindel and Kitana and the rolling ball part

This. If I had to pick a Namco character, it'd be between, Kazuya, Jin, Siegfried, KOS-MOS, and Lloyd, and Lloyd is, IMO, the best pick since many Nintendo fans loved Symphonia and he's not subject to having his moves being compromised by Smash's gameplay unlike the first three. If anything, he'd transition to Smash almost seamlessly.

 

[Metal Overlord]

I think Jin and Lars have to be the only Mishima members or people related to the Mishima family that I just cannot stand

 

[Big-Cat]

Ironically, their last names aren't Mishima, but Kazama and Alexandersson.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

But I don't know those characters so they can't be in smash bros

 

[---]

I gotta agree with Hoots and Kuma.

If we want a Nintendo character to fight Pac Man, then lets rally for Falcon on a Wii U version of SFxT.

vv Kinda like how Snake got in over Simon Belmont. I doubt Namco has interest in Smash anyway.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Lol Kuma how is Lloyd or Symphonia significant to Nintendo anyway, it's just one of the games in Tales-series! Why should EVEN Lloyd get in over Pacman?

Pacman's more been with Nintendo, especially when ya consider Pacman Vs in Gamecube and Mario Kart GP.

Just saying....

 

[Metal Overlord]

It's probably just my dislike of fighting game protagonists in general though. Jin, Liu Kang (except for Zombie Liu Kang. DEM CHAINS), Ryu. I'm not even that crazy about Jago from Killer Instinct. Lars pisses me off even more because I hate it when new characters just suddenly come in late in a series and start running **** (in terms of the story, I mean)

To be fair, Miyamoto's favorite character is Pac-Man, so he may want to see Pac-Man in Smash.

At this rate, it is Pac-Man's only hope, since he's not going to achieve a strong fan base. Once Miyamoto retires, all hopes will be gone.

I was kinda getting at how Snake, a character who has barely made any appearences on a Nintendo system vs Belmont. But whatever.

That doesn't change much, Miyamoto doesn't even hold the rights to Pac Man.


BTW, we all know Pac Man, but who wants him?

 

[Big-Cat]

Even with Miyamoto backing up the request, if they couldn't come up with something faithful/in character for him that doesn't require accommodating the game just for him, then he won't happen.

@YH
Lloyd's mostly personal preference. That being said, he starred in arguably the most prolific RPG on the Gamecube, the sequel was a Wii exclusive, he was added into the Wii-exclusive Soul Calibur Legends as well. Save for the all-star games and that PS2 port, he's been showing up mostly on Nintendo platforms since his debut.

Besides, I get the feeling that if you toss out "deservingness", most people would pick Lloyd over Pacman.

And I personally don't care for most FG protagonists, but Skullgirls' Filia is an exception and I do like Ragna even if I don't like playing as him.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Pac-Man has very little chance of actually getting in, and this is coming from someone who wants him in a lot

Not even just because "HE'S AN ICON GUISE", I've played the first two Pac-Man World games before and enjoyed them so my desires are based on those mostly

Only third party I'm expecting is Mega Man. I just hope we keep Sonic and Snake

 

[Deleted member]

That's precisely Pac-Man's problem; not many people want him. It'd be somewhat like adding Rose and Jack from Titanic because everyone knows them, even thought nobody wants them in (although Pac-Man has a few supporters and is eligible).

 

[Oasis_S]

Namco doesn't really have any good characters.

Except Etemon of course.

That logic is flawed. PACMAN HAS BEEN IN CROSSOVERS SO HE SHOULD BE IN SMASH! Mmhmm, and I guess White Mage should as well? How about Vector the Crocodile? People need to realize how monumental Smash is. It isn't some hokey gimmick of a crossover. This is serious business where the real big guns are drawn. Sakurai himself said that the character has to do something special. Every Pacman supporter is not motivated by that. They simply say, "oh he's famous so let's make up a moveset for him" Instead of, "oh he's cool and unique and his moveset would reflect that so he would be a worthy addition."

Rose & Jack would be at least semi-clones of the Ice Climbers anyway

Come to think of it, wasn't Clu Clu Land Nintendo's answer to Pac-man.

Love ya Hoots, but just saiyan

How have you not realized that the story of the Mishima's not taking family therapy is of the same caliber as Citizen Kane?

 

[Shorts]

Let's stop pretending like Pac-Man supporters really exist.

People were arguing about Ridley again?

BORING. Let's talk about Pac-Man some more.

Argument over.

@Shortiecanbrawl: There's a rumor that a Star Fox game is coming at E3 2012. I wouldn't expect it, but just something to throw out there.

 

[Deleted member]

On the Pac-Man issue over a moveset, is it really that difficult? I mean, Sonic's moveset had to have been the most half-***** moveset I've seen.

Not including the clones.

I agree with this, it's like because he was put in so late they were lazy and just threw him together.

 

[Deleted member]

And for a Nintendo example, there's Donkey Kong. His moveset is bland beyond belief and random.

Let's say:
B: Munch
Side B: Rev Roll
Up B: Red Pellet chain
Down B: Butt Bounce
Final Smash: Power Pellet

Yup, pretty much what I'd think.
See folks? Not that difficult.
