Yeah, I suppose them being the next WTF Mii Costume is unlikely but I would be surprise if they came later like next year. Scorpion would be pretty much a WTF character or perhaps a costume from Rivals of Ather
Orcane Hat, Zetterburn Hat, and Zetterburn Outfit (Brawler) plz.
Ain't Dig Dug already in Pac Man's taunt?
Unlikely for DLC, but she's got a good shot for the base game.
Maybe, maybe not. It'd feel a bit odd to have Soulcalibur before Tekken, but Nightmare and co. can at least say they fought a Nintendo character already. Still, I think a Tales or Dark Souls rep would be more likely; Maybe they'd be Lloyd/Chosen Undead, maybe someone else.
From what I can gather, KOS-MOS is basically Bamco's Morrigan; A popular and recognizable character from a game that has fallen into obscurity, but laid the foundation for future games (Refined the combo system for Darkstalkers and set up Xenoblade for Xenogears).I WANT to say KOS-MOS is another slept on Bamco choice
but
after the fake leaks of last December... I feel like she’s become a target of mockery now
By this logic, Don-chan is completely out of the running, yet we still have people in this thread who think Don-chan has a shot.
namco doesnt own ms pacman funnily enough
Put who in?
Okay, here me out: Freddy Fazbear, but he comes with this song:
dig dug.

On Sept. 25th 2020, the Klonoa Encore trademark has once again updated stating, "Record of Registration - Registration Certificate (登録記録 登録証)"
For most trademarks with Bandai Namco this is typically the final step. Announcement is unknown. pic.twitter.com/Gt9yYIrE75
Ooh, I haven't seen Don-chan in his taunt yet.
He Has a name you know
Imagine if either of them got in, and they just have stuff from all of their crossover appearances. lol
That's Dig Dug? Wat?
I don't think that being in the Pac-man roulette means that you're out of the running. I see those characters the same way I see spirits (at least base game spirits). They where chosen way before the second pass was decide, so they could go back on their decision and make them playable.
Yeah, Bandai Namco X Capcom happened. They decided he wasn't cool enough, and so they... Gave him some upgrades, shall we say?
Huh? So who owns Ms. Pac-Man if not Namco?
If you always think of trademarks as gospel you will only get burned, Besides renewals a lot of developers file trademarks for names of games that might have been in development at one point and cancelled and other stuff like that
Did not know about this.
Honestly, who the heck knows at this point? All we know for certain is that Namco DOESN'T own her, and they are/were VERY upset about it.
So... why does the 1-UP arcade machine of Ms. Pac-Man come with other Namco arcade games?
And then he disappeared for the rest of the trilogy.
Having looked up his more common appearance, he was probably changed because he'd be super tiny otherwise.
Yeah, I had a bad feeling about the ruleset. It's a shame too, because it's NoA's first official tournament within Ultimate's modes.
It is strange, yeah, that Klonoa etc. didn't return for the PXZ games and that non-human characters like Sonic / Amaterasu didn't join the roster. Not sure why they changed course after BN X Capcom.
Actually, I found this blog post on the Pac-Man Wiki that talks about the whole situation. It's a bit of a read, and might be updated again (it was last updated in June of this year), but basically it involves some company called "AtGames". Note that there might be some mild language, so viewer discretion is advised.
Can you make a Ms. Pac-Man game with blackjack and hookers?
So, from what I got from skimming it, Bandai Namco does in fact, own Ms. PAC-MAN. What they do not own are the royalties for Ms. PAC-MAN, and instead, they were owned by GCC. Right before they were going to get the royalty rights, AtGames went under their noses, and bought them because they thought they could poop out cheapo Ms. PAC-MAN arcade machines. This was not the case, and also, it turns out they only bought a single person's share of the royalty rights or something (for $10,000,000 no less. lol). Even so, AtGames is an incredibly shady company, and Bandai Namco rightfully doesn't want to give them any money, so no Ms. PAC-MAN stuff unless it goes through a loophole, which presumably, her appearance in the PAC-Land stage does. Whether or not an alternate costume for PAC-MAN would also go through a loophole is anyone's guess, but my guess would be no since they haven't done it, and it wouldn't have even been that difficult since the two characters aren't that different from each other.
Yeah, horse before the cart. In order to start actively supporting him for Smash, I need something tangible to hold onto to reassure myself he has a shot. Until he gets that game, I don't have anything to hold onto without it falling apart, and by then it'll be too late for Smash beyond some sort of behind-the-scenes deal for Nintendo to heavily advertise the little guy. More than anything, I just want to be able to play his games myself.
If it was more than one and they were closer to Chrom in terms of gameplay differences, I wouldn't be upset, but there would have to be more than one.
