Totally agree! .. I suppose that Pac will be very balanced and fun to use.. I said, I trust in Sakurai for a good moveset, and with so much references, he can't do Pacster in a wrong way... I can't wait to see this becoming reality. =)
Whoa! Once again you astound me, CyberWolf! This looks incredible. And yeah, that's about what I figured Pac to be like. Though, to be honest, I imagined him a little big taller or bigger, but you're right: in comparison from past games and such, he is a bit smaller. Huh. Still awesome all the same!well, done!... apparently, my memory betrayed me. XD.. Pac is really smaller than Mario, a not a little bit as I remembered.. (still not too much) well, at least nowadays...
here, you can see the comparision from Mario Kart Arcade GP DX;
and now, here's Pacster together with his future fellows of cast =P (Ridley included, I hope);
but, size doesn't mean too much about his gameplay.. just a thing about hurt boxes and hit boxes, I guess.. if we take MKAGPDX again:
---we can see that he's a standard character, very much equal to Mario; so... I expect him this way on Smash4; =)![]()

hehe, Thanks friend! ... Well, I guess that everybody expected Pac a little bit taller than that, ... but after all, he's corporal structure is appropriate for this size, I guess. But he's a standard character, nothing to worry for him being a character like Olimar or Pikachu (I mean, about weight of gameplay... since, he's taller than both Olimar and Pikachu anyway) ... well, he isn't a featherweight in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX.. this is already something. XD

, it looks great! The one with all the characters there doesn't make Pac-Man look out of place at all - instead, I feel like he fits in pretty well.
Hey I just saw the Mario Kart w/ Pac-Man today. This makes me even more confident then I already was that Pac-Man is getting in. In fact now that I've seen him in Mario Kart, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't a playable character.well, done!... apparently, my memory betrayed me. XD.. Pac is really smaller than Mario, a not a little bit as I remembered.. (still not too much) well, at least nowadays...

As much as I wish I could say this was concrete proof, I remember the first Mario Kart Arcade GP was out before Brawl was, because I was using that as an argument as to why Pac-Man would be in Brawl. Sadly, it didn't happen.
heh, well, the difference from Brawl in comparision to today, it's that practically everything is in favor of Pac! For starters the fact of NAMCO Bandai being co-developing Smash4; ... and... well, it's already a big motive for him being in; XD... I just can't believe that NAMCO wouldn't at least cite Pac-Man during the developing for Sakurai;... it will be the biggest event in the gaming industry (the encounter of four mascots and companies), no lie.. they know that.
Oh believe me, if Namco is working on this game, they most definitely have pushed the idea of Pac-Man being in there. As hard as they're pushing the relaunch, I can't imagine they'd assist in a character-driven fighting game and not even mention their beloved character be put in as well.
Ummm... why would they go through the legal troubles to acquire permission to include a third-party character only to turn him into an Assist Trophy?
Why would Nintendo bother to acquire the rights to use the Pac-Man IP and only use it for an Assist Trophy? That'd be like negotiating for the use of Banjo-Kazooie and only having a stage based on the series. It'd be a waste of everyone's time and money.
I am only presenting a hypothetical situation that has a 99.999% chance of not happening. The question's goal was to get an answer on how people would respond to it.
Ah. Very well. I apologize that I did not understand your intended message at first.
Man, I'd be pretty furious at that point, I'll admit. He deserves way better than that.
That's a bit more like pointing at straws.
I doubt they'll try to heavily market the game around that time simply because I expect it to sell about 5 copies in Japan regardless of how much it's pushed, but I'm sure that if Pac-Man gets revealed, they'll link the game's website (does it have one?) on his profile page as is customary at this point.Hey guys... guess what? The Ghostly Adventures game was finally announced for Japan, under the name "Pac-World" (パック ワールド); 19th June for the 3DS and 25th June for the Wii U and the others consoles; ... it's a date to put the eye, huh? at least, the 3DS version which is exclusive for Nintendo;
here's the 3DS oriental box-art
-- It's after E3 (which is happening 10~12 June); but still a good sign,.. I guess... a Pac-Man game being released so close of the E3 presentation that would feature Smash4, would help a lot both games marketing.
Haha, I had the same exact reaction. For some reason he doesn't look bad there. I still hope for a nod towards his historic and iconic appearances like they did with Mega Man but I guess I could also live with this new model he has.
Well, they'll sell 5 copies if they doesn't do a heavily marketing. XD.... Well, NAMCO always make a huge advertisement for Pac-Man, he's their Mario.. naturally... =P... and I dunno, Ghostly Adventures seems to fit better to Japanese public.. with all those colors; I saw a Japanese trailer of the show, and it sounded more sympathetic than the US or BR versions. =P
yeah, E3 is THE date. But we can still expect some days after E3 (the JPN release of G.A.) and, we can still expect Pac to be the last revealed.. if Smash4 be released in December; November is a good month, since is the the anniversary of the Original Pac-Man on NES. =)
Huh, nice to see you changing your mind. XD.. but you refer in the JPN Box-Art of G.A. or in my size comparision?
nah, again, the teeth are for some facial expressions... he's not always showing,.. but I don't see a problem with that. =P
Oh, I'm talking about the JP box art. The size comparisons were nice too, though.
I know there not always there, but when they are, it looks weird. Still, it's a nitpick.
Well, actually no, teeth aren't necessary for expressions. The only time where it would be appropriate if it was for a scowl or grin, but at the same time there are alternatives. Every other case you can simply omit it and it wouldn't cause problems. Hence why in the case of Pac-Man, it's sort of pointless. Now maybe if he was some sort of animal like a shark or bear (hell even human) it would be fitting, but all it does is create an uncanny valley sort of feel.
I laughed way too hard at this. xD
I actually didn't mean that, more that explicitly in the cartoon the teeth give range to Pac-Man's character, whereas a game wouldn't require that. Of course teeth aren't required, but the style they were going for means they had to use them.
I'd love to see this. LOVE to. And as a hazard, the ghosts could occasionally pass by, causing the fight to move onto the platform up there. Would the cherry regain health? Or would it just be like the items in Brawl's 75m?I would think a (useable) Pac-Man stage would look more like this:
This of course represents more of a traditional Pac-Man feel, which is probably what we'd see. I just threw this together, so it's far from a 'polished' look, but I hope you get the idea.
This one stays a little closer to the game. I like it. Only thing is that the line of dots pointing vertically. It looks out of place. Also the lower too platforms look a bit cramped, which I personally wouldn't like too much. Admittedly, it would add some possibilities that I don't think we've seen in a stage before. Maybe if the walls were lowered so the center of the walls were lined up with the main platform and the lower two platforms were shorter and on top instead.That necro'd post reminds me of an old mock-up I did for my own stage idea.
