Pac-Man won't get in because of Namco.
If Pac-Man gets in (which I am expecting) it will be because Sakurai wants it to happen. Namco being the ones to co-develop the games only serves as "easy access" if you will.

By the way, apparently Iwata has a disembodied head version of himself exactly like Kawashima as shown in today's Japanese Nintendo Direct for the upcoming Daigasso! Band Brothers P game.

Guess that takes away from the Kawashima idea.
Instead....disembodied Sakurai head. :troll: (Since others can get them)


EDIT: I'm sure having Sakurai instead of Kawashima would not be as a bad idea to you guys, right?

Since I've always envisioned Master and Crazy Hand as his Sakurai's hands of creation and destruction, shoving his floating skull in the middle is fine by me.

Unless you meant playable, in which case it's still a terrible idea.

At least it'd be Sakurai, right?
You can literally beat him up if the character you want doesn't get in! :awesome:

But on a serious note, instead of a disembodied head, Sakurai should just pull the same "Wonder Director" route that Kamiya did....:troll:

Reggie's Final Smash should work Like Link's Triforce Slash. Only it's with his fist and ending with a powerful belly thrust.
By the way I've seen that Iwata head since I think that Flipnote Direct.

Until his Final Smash, Reggie's just going to have to feel just like a Purple Pikmin.

What if Miyamoto was a secret boss fight? I'm talking about something along the lines of Akuma from Street Fighter.

No, this statement is inherently false. No one competent would ever assert that Pacman would be in Smash if Namco wasn't co-developing the game. I understand the core of your statement. Pacman will be included only because Sakurai wants to include him (Namco working on the title is irrelevant to Sora Ltd.), this portion is true. However, the implications are contradictory. The only reason Pacman would be considered by Sakurai is BECAUSE Namco is developing the game. So just by associating that notion, it is clear that Namco's development actually has a direct correlation to his inclusion. I am just trying to elaborate on what you said, I agree with you. I would just take it a step further.

The updates this month have SUCKED.

You know, I get it. Sakurai can do what he wants, but if you aren't going to release characters, give us some actually interesting information.

"Here's your tenth picture of Link and Toon Link"
"Here's Villager and Wii Fit Trainer jumping around"

Seriously, what? This is crap. Don't even give me that "we should be lucky we get anything at all" because that's nonsense. We get the updates to build hype, which is necessary. We're going on a fourth week without something substantial. It sucks.

I'm going to bet we don't get anything this week. But if we don't get anything the week after, then there is a definite problem. We got Peach, Toon Link, and Sonic (well Toon Link and Sonic) fairly close to each other, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't get another one for an entire month.

EDIT: THIS IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW Super-Saiyan.gif
This is exactly how I feel, no doubt that Sakurai can do whatever he wants. That doesn't make it a good idea. The only people keeping the hype alive are on the forums, the people actually discussing the game, the people anticipating the game. The majority of the populace only surfaces to discuss whatever news we get, which is never a lot. Sora Ltd. marketed Brawl FAR better than this pitiful attempt. We actually got news on the Dojo, it wasn't always characters, there were other relevant things to discuss such as assist trophies, Pokemon, Items, stages, you name it. This time around, all we have to talk about are the characters and when they could potentially be revealed. It is pathetic. Sakurai is marketing the game to us, not the other way around. He is not pleasing many people, and he is not making me more excited for the game. I am excited because I know it will be a quality game, the prequels were some of my favorite games of all time. That is the only reason I am around.

It is much more lively around here when we actually get some information regarding the games. That is the entire point of the entire marketing campaign. Games like Call of Duty have it down to a science, I am not necessarily advocating the way they run things. On the other hand, I am WAY more hyped for a game that I KNOW is going to suck. I can hardly wait for it. Smash, a game that I know will be spectacular? Meh, I could honestly live without it.

Not to mention that all reveals will not even be that interesting. I mean what is going to happen when ROB gets revealed? There isn't going to be much to talk about, maybe some more information regarding retros and how they are treated? Even that precedent will be inconclusive. /Rant

Reggiemon Trainer is not a real character.
Therefore he does not qualify for a thread.
I agree with this sentiment... but at the same time, we already have so many ridiculous threads. It is hard to see the detrimental aspects of allowing another one. It just seems so... arbitrary.

Technically, it's Reggie, (who has a thread), who is controlling 3 real Pokémon who where named after him.
So technically, it's real

So thanks KingofPhantoms.
I bet you are regretting what you have started.

Do you guys think it'd be okay if I made a Ryu thread?
I think it's very necessary and I'm surprised there isn't one already.

Well... we do already have a Capcom character like Megaman, so that probably means that we will for SURE get another one. So go right ahead, buddy!

Hmm.. weird, I thought it would exist.
He is a popular Capcom character.
Well, I guess I'll get started then...
Be sure to show support!
That article with Sakurai's views on actual Fighting game characters kinda doused all hope for him, I imagine.
It's not that I think he'll be in, it's that I like the character and think that he should at least get some representation through a thread, as he is a very iconic 3rd Party character.
