It seems like Pac-Man's a mix of a trapper and a sniper, but we need to see more to fully understand how his style of play works.

 

[Noiblade]

You know what, I'm just going to ask.

What exactly wrong with Pac's modern(Party/Ghostly Adventures) design? Ugh, the complaints are just as bad and the complaint about Sonic having green eyes.

I'm gonna agree, someone else explained it to me, but I still don't understand why people hate it.

Pac put on some contacts
Got some neat-ass gloves and shoes and there you go, Pac-Man.

Sure you can argue the limbs and nose size changed but whatever.

 

[ender_idk]

MARIO VS SONIC VS MEGA MAN VS PAC MAN, NO ITEMS FINAL DESTINATION, HEY YO LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, congrats everyone!

He also got paler, which is my personal beef with it. I made a post about it before.

It might just be because I'm color sensitive and consider pure yellow to slightly orange-tinted yellow my favorite color.

This is about my ideal spectrum (maybe a bit more into the orange spectrum, but you get the idea).

This is the (approximate) base color of the more saturated Pac-Man:

(#FFDD00)

This is the (approximate) base color of the less saturated Pac-Man:

(#FDD95D)

See the difference? The first one is in the spectrum of my favorite colors, and the second isn't even close. That might be what puts me off on the second one so much.


I still do prefer the more simple World design overall, but I actually kind of like the more saturated GA design as well.

 

[Ultinarok]

I'll admit. I was a dissenter. I didn't like Pac-Man. I appreciated him, I understood his importance, I knew why people, and Sakurai, would want him. But I didn't like him. I, like so many, thought fitting him into Smash would be an impossible feat. I thought he would be out of place and ridiculous. And, like Sonic, I was biased by the fact that all of his games have been terrible in recent years (which has made me dislike Sonic as well, even though it ain't his fault that his creators are butchering him).

But I saw this trailer. I'm a believer. Sakurai stunned me at how well he fit him in. He looks fine, and fights with a nostalgic feel remniscent of G&W while paying homage to his own games, and those of his company. He looks cool.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

But I saw this trailer. I'm a believer.

 

[Bauske]

inb4 Pacman is overpowered thread

I certainly hope he is. Imagine all the Pac-Man supporters if he's actually a great character to use. :D

 

[Ultinarok]

I know, as soon as I typed that, this song came into my head and hasn't left. I saw Pac-Man's face. I'm a believer, I couldn't be mad about it, If I tried.

 

[Pacack]

I certainly hope he is. Imagine all the Pac-Man supporters if he's actually a great character to use. :D

I hope he's top tier, but I definitely don't want him to be OP. OP characters are no fun.

 

[TechPowah]

That trampoline move is gonna be crazy if you can use it properly, considering after three jumps of increasing height, whoever falls into it next goes immediately into freefall (since that's what happened to Mario without even using Super Jump Punch).

 

[Dynamite]

I hope he's top tier, but I definitely don't want him to be OP. OP characters are no fun.

I agree with this. I do not want Pacman to become the new Meta Knight.

 

[Pacack]

I agree with this. I do not want Pacman to become the new Meta Knight.

Or 64 Pikachu.

Probably better than Meta Knight in the amount of positive matchups.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

If Pac-Man is bottom-tier, I'll still main him.

 

[Born in 1839...]

YES, YES, YES!

 

[praline]

Congrats guys for getting your character in.

 

[Bedoop]

I love how 8-bit Pinky and Clyde hover around Pac-Man's head, since in Pac-Man World 3 (One of the games this Pac-Man's design comes from), Pinky and Clyde help out Pac-Man during his adventure.
It's the little details.

 

[Jaklub]

...but Clyde is the orange one, not red

 

[Bedoop]

...but Clyde is the orange one, not red

In World 3, he's the Red One. ._.

 

[praline]

In the reveal trailer what the eff is that ugly stage at :58?

 

[Jaklub]

In World 3, he's the Red One. ._.

Thanks for correction, I find it hard to believe they'd mix that up in their own game, but apparently there is no continuity whatsoever in these games, even when it comes to names

Scratch that, he technically IS the Orange one, but http://pacman.wikia.com/wiki/Clyde_and_Blinky_error seems to have happened from Ms. Pac-Man to after Pac-Man World 3.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

It's the first level from Pac-Land, if I'm not mistaken.

You're right in that continuity is practically non-existent within this franchise, but to be fair, Pac-Man World 3 was made by some small third-party developer, and not the main Namco team, like the previous two games.

It's hilariously ugly.

 

[Gam3rALO]

WE DID IT PAC FANS!!

 

[PixelPasta]

Congrats, Pac-fans! I too was rooting for him the whole time, so I'm glad to see him in, especially with such a unique moveset.

 

[Bowserlick]

The trailer is amazing. My favorite character revealed thus far. Sakurai really poured creativity and a sense of life into this new Smash.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

Hey guys! I'm alive? this is real life? My beloved Pac is in the most famous fighting game of the gaming industry?... In the most awesome crossover that happens just ONCE per generation?... Oh dear. TuT... Still very hyped!

But later I'll share better my thoughts about his reveal trailer, the choice of design (which I, besides liking the modern one, as everybody here knows, completely loved when I saw), moveset, analysis (not a much deep one) and such.

I'll editing my reaction video of E3; the Pac reveal comes in the end. =P

 

[Nu~]

Can't Wait to see his Forward and Up smashes. Maybe a chomp for F-smash?

 

[Ultinarok]

Or 64 Pikachu.

Probably better than Meta Knight in the amount of positive matchups.

Or Melee Fox/Falco. There's always one character who dominates every other. The trend will hopefully end at Smash 4, and we won't have anyone be that overpowered. Of course, some characters will always be better, and one character will stand out as the best, but it should never be that lopsided again. Meta games shouldn't be defined by one character.

 

[Arcadenik]

So who else downloaded Pac-Land from Wii U eShop? It is somewhat difficult... I managed to get to the mountain level. The controls take some getting used to... you move left with B button and right with A button and jump with the + D pad.

Fox and Falco were just top. They don't have their own tier for a reason.

 

[Ultinarok]

Still have no disadvantaged matchups though.

 

[PuffSmash]

Sooooo does this mean that pacman was involved all along? Or was he added when that familiar shaped cloud in greninjas trailer appeared?

 

[Pacack]

Still have no disadvantaged matchups though.

But they do have neutral matchups. 64 Pikachu and Brawl Meta Knight have all favorable matchups.

Guys.
I can't stop watching Pac-man's trailer.
I was indifferent to this character before, but now I might just have to secondary him.

Help

My brother said that his colors should be hats just so that one of his colors could be a bow. Ms. Pac-man recolor.

Welcome to the bright and happy side <33

I agree. At least for Classic Pac. I would like to see Ms. Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man, and Professor Pac-Man hats.

That game is really hard. I think I've gotten to trip three or something before I finally failed. On Pac-Man Museum, there's a goal to get 500,000 points, and there's no way I'll ever do that.

Pretty sure he was planned all along.

You can switch around the controls to make them feel more traditional, but if I were you I'd just keep it the default way because that's how the devs made it. But that's just me, do what you want.

Also, I'm thinking of buying the NES Pac-Man for $1.00 on eShop. I've got $1.59 right now but I may wait and save up for GBA Pac-Man Collection which includes Pac-Man, Pac-Mania, and more.

Welcome to the bright and happy side <33

It's great to be here. There is absolutely no negativity allowed! No Hype Killers, no spoilers, no items, Pac-man only.

 

[SomewhatMystia]

... Wait, Pac-Land is on the eshop?! Oh man, I've gotta pick that up.
