Official Pac-Man's Amazing Full Colour Fan Club! - Pac-Man General Thread

Heres an idea. You summon Ms. Pac-Man and she'll either chase the ghosts around the arena, and damage enemies in the process or she'll be chased by the ghosts and she'll still damage the opponents. (When she chases the ghosts, the ghosts can be attacked and defeated.)

I like that idea. Pac-Man stays playable, and Ms.Pac-Man does the assist trophy instead. GENIUS!

Glad you like the idea. lol

What if Namco pulls a Capcom and we end up with one of these Atari box art Pac Man's?

In the first one, Pac Man would've been in the Olympics like that. The second one looks like he let himself go. XD

Imagine Atari's reaction if they were to use the Bad Box Art design.

 

[Nu~]

You could say the same thing for Modern Sonic for his track record of games over the years.


As for the people that support Tekken characters for Smash 4, I hope they just want Yoshimitsu because he's the ONLY one that could fit in. Tekken chars shouldn't be included in ssb4 though.

Yeah, with SEGA constantly milking the sonic franchise's video games, When they went downhill on terrible sonic games (Shadow the hedgehog, sonic shuffle, sonic riders ect..) They had no real backbone of the company anymore and eventually became broke. They probably worked with nintendo on the mario and sonic olympic games just for more money since Mario and sonic was such a big hit.

This person on youtube said that megaman and ittle mac are guarranteed for ssb and that pac-man was 50%. XD ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS.

What?? Which person are you talking of?

 

[Mypantisgone]

It's not ludicrous,Pac-man would be 70%/90% to me,but Mac is 1st party and highly requested and Mega Man EXTREMELY requested,so it's not too far off,but the Mega Man and Pac-Man rating is pretty wrong,you're right about that.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm really doubting Mega Man's inclusion in smash. I feel as if Namco is the only company that will get a character other than Sonic's and Snake's return.

If it's Namco, I would prefer Pac Man, but I feel like it's going to be a tales character. Which, I don't know any tales character except "Lloyd"

 

[Nu~]

I hope its pac-man. I would be in a depression if not :-/

 

[Metal Overlord]

Is that a Pop Tart near his left arm lol

 

[Nu~]

Pacman with his power ups from pacman world 3 and a pellet slingshot makes up for lack of projectiles.

 

[Moon Monkey]

I think it would be pretty cool if Pacman has a special move ( Neutral B hopefully) that is similar to Wario's, The only difference is that Pacman will eat projectiles and regain life when eaten. He could even make the same sounds from the arcade when he eats fruits when he manages to to eat the projectile.

 

[Dark Phazon]

I fully support this thread.

 

[3Bismyname]

he's really the only character, IMO, worth supporting from Namco. I find most of the other characters Namco has to offer to be nowhere near as likely or worthy. but this is all subjective.

I think he is one of those 99.9% chance characters.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Perfect 3 3rd party Chars.
1.Megaman
2.Pacman
3.Sonic
How can you argue?

I want this.

Brilliant idea! Like Ness's PSI Magnet (down b) right.

Yep. And proberly no one is as Iconic in gaming as pacman.

Isnt it the most sold gaming series in history? or Tertis or something..dunno..i remember reading about it.



Expecially since Sakurai stated that chars he recommends for Smash need to go through 3 big tests the first being the biggest.

*1.* How Well will The character fit into the Smash world

2. Will the Character be unique bring something new to the smash world (they need to)

3. How and how Well is the character represented in there series

And he looks at fan support to. but them main #3 points i stated he states himself in a article about brawls development i was reading yesterday.

Look like Sakurai does indeed follow some sorta code/test that chars must go through to get in.

The article is very intresting to read those who havent read it i advise you read it. It may twist your thoughts on the games direction more positively but more important more realisticly.

There are other thing that play into character descison in the article.

Imo Pacman pretty much fits the whole damn List/Test perfect cartoon art. Etc:

Sorry for double post just that my phone spazzes out if i paste a link into a edit that already has stuff in...

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

He needs to use PAC Man World 3's awesome Electro Shock.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Down Throw: Pac-Man smashes a person below him and electrocutes them.

All while doing his creepy smiling stare from Street Fighter x Tekken.

 

[lobotheduck21]

I had an idea that he uses stuff from other classic namco arcade games like he shoots an asteroid from bosconian out of his mouth and a galaxian flies him back to the stage

Considering there were references to other Namco games in the Pac Man World games and the Namco Museum games, that would make him the ultimate fan service character.

 

[Kirbunny431]

While that would indeed be awesome, it would probably be confusing to those who haven't played PMW3.

"Wh-Why's Pac-Man using Force Lightning?"

 

[Arcadenik]

I'd like to think that Pac-Man is better off having specials inspired by the arcades, even if they may or may not be in Pac-Man World games. Eating enemies and dots have to be a big part of Pac-Man's playstyle. Shooting lightning bolts from his hands isn't what Pac-Man is famous for even though he did that in Pac-Man World 3.

 

[3Bismyname]

Yeah eating people like wario does, maybe shooting pellets and stuff like that should b the majority of his moveset with only things like the butt bounce actually truly wing inspired by the PAC man world games

Shooting? That's what Pac Man 2's Pellet Slingshot is for. But like you said, he need attacks and references from all 32 years of gaming media he appeared in.

Namco Museum: References other games by using them as weapons? (Uses Dig Dug's pump as a grab, uses a Galaga ship for up special, etc.)

Pac-Man World: Uses Butt Bounce in down special.

Pac-Man Arcade: Bite attack (There is no way he wont have this)

Pac-Man 2: Sling Shot (Possibly forward special some how)

 

[volbound1700]

We are still not sure how movesets will work in the new game, there may not even be Smash balls.

 

[Opossum]

One idea I have seen for an Up Special (one of the few interesting things to come out of Youtube Smash speculation...that place is a nightmare...) is "Dot Trail." Basically, a trail of three pellets appear above Pac Man, and he goes into "arcade mode," following them upwards by eating them.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Yeah, that's what I think should be his Up Special.

 

[3Bismyname]

thats what i mean, i do vaguely recall him being able to just shoot it from his hand. though that is probably a Pac-Man World game.

its not that a moveset consisting of other Namco Properties would be a bad thing, i just kind of find it unnecessary and a little confusing to some people who arent really familiar super familiar with the games being referenced in question.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, Pac-Man could shoot Pac-Dots from his hand in World 1.

Oh, kinda like this one? Click at 1:48.

 

[3Bismyname]

pretty much

 

[Opossum]

Yeah, exactly like that. I actually didn't know it was an actual move...that makes it better.


In other news, I remember when I was younger, I could never beat that one level in Pac Man World 2. It was Butane Pain. I even remember the name. That being said, I probably could today if I still had the game. Ah, memories...

 

[Nu~]

What always got me was Ice river run.Watching yourself freeze in a puddle of water over and over always hurt my soul...good times. XD

 

[Arcadenik]

Yeah, Pac-Man could shoot Pac-Dots from his hand in World 1.

That skill could be used for Pac-Man's normal moves similar to Zelda's Down Throw (dots instead of magic), Samus's Smash Up+A and Aerial Forward+A moves (dots instead of fire), Mario's Smash Side+A (dots instead of fire), and Mewtwo's Forward Throw (dots instead of shadow balls). I really love the idea of Pac-Man in Smash.

ehh...I still believe that Pac-Man's Up smash should be that signature uppercut punch and side smash should be a chomp, but dots incorporated into grabs and the forward aerial is an awesome idea. Up aerial is saved for that flip kick with skates on. (pac-man world 2)
