I think we can be pumped for these times to come, and who knows, possibly much longer. I can't be right after all 100% when saying Lloyd's out, after all.
Do your arms get locked by eachother when performing chores 2 handed? Anyone experienced with two swords will have an advantage over someone with one, assuming there are no other differences between them, simply because they have nearly twice as many points to strike from (1 does restrict the other a bit so it's not exactly double) at any given moment. Nightmare would still outrange Lloyd though and Zelos would still be able to out block him, showing that there are other things you can do with a second hand that can often be a better choice.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Mii Fighter outfits are slowly becoming memes for the best reasons.
Holy ****.
Doesn't almost ALL of the fighting manuals recommend against dual-wielding?
In ToS or real life? If in ToS it's probably just a running joke but if not, well, you have to know how to use one sword properly before you even think about using a second. If you have to think about where sword A is, chances are you're not paying any heed to how it's interacting with sword B.
IIRC somebody here has sent an e-mail to the NoA Company and they replied not to worry; the ballot is for actual characters.
You're just scramming Namco rep support threads, implying there are way better characters than the ones we defend and asking for hate.
Ahem.
I probably wouldn't have to if someone actually knew that was his design since the beginning. If you want a generic RPG character with a sword then good for you. I don't see his appeal.
However there are times whne disargreement can lead to real full conversation about whether or not a character realy does apply in the world of smash bros. by discounting and listening to the negative we can show off more of the positive towerd our argument. Namco is like Sega, nintendo and Capcom in that there are countless series under thier belt. there is no question that Pacman is an iconic character, and that his many moves brough great reference material from other Namco games. My reasoning for wanting lloyd was due to how well his character fits within the smash bros universe in my head. The tales of combat system is very similar and can match that of the smash bros style pretty easilly. To be honest I actually played Tales of Abyss like it was an RPG smash bros game, and it became easier as a result combat wise.

'thanks for letting me know about that, and maybe thats what it was intended to be originally but I cant help feel that my thought is what is comming out as the end result nonetheless. But thanks for letting me know.

I do think her being a downloadable skin for Pac-Man should at least happen, But she is still technically the one who opened up the door for gaming heroines to follow. And considering how Namco treats her like dirt these days. (Looking at you, Reboot!Pac-Man) I think you see why I think she deserves a spot in the roster (costume or character I accept) Thank you for understanding though, I completely respect you.

I tend to see plenty of people at least give their 2 cents and thoughts, kind of what I do.
Now that seems a lot more reasonable. There is no real value in including her as a character and her being a skin, while a perfectly reasonable request, has little merit of its own. What you bring up, however, is an interesting point about gaming history and with that I'd say the nod is more than warranted. I am still against the character but dividing up Pacman in the same way as Wii Fit Trainer or Robin would make perfect sense.
Im honestly surprised that they DIDN't have a Ms pacman skin there for pac. But I see ms pacman in having a bigger impact in showing the rare fact that [GASP] women played videogames too. It took alot longer to get people to see Women as decent heroes, Characters like Samus and the white mage helped but then again im just thinking english games.. Japan had no such problems... plenty of Female characters got gender swapped in localizations. [If I remember right Tails the fox was originally gonna be a girl I think. It took a few games before I found out She was a he XD -laughs-]
Its cause people are stupid and needed a more obviouse clue that women coudl be gamers. So despite the overly cutsy style of pacman they sTILL had to add on a bow and a dot to make the game 'ok' for women -rolls eyes- She was made necessary cause alot of male gamers were serioous bigots who thoguth women could not play or do well at 'hard games'
