PacMan Revealed for Smash. Bros

A competitive Smash player is trying to challenge Sakurai to see if he can win and help balance the game. Sakurai asked "have you ever made a game?"

Ouch Samurai.
His first mistake was thinking Sakurai would care about balance.

Spam that down-throw in the demo guys.

EDIT: Wait, this actually happened? Wow.

Megaman, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Pac-Man, Mii, Shulk, Palutena, Chrom, Chorus Men, and Pokemon from X and Y.

Thanks.

Hmm, Palutena was an alright addition. I'm not hot on Mii.

Out of what's left here, I could see Chrom, but would prefer anyone else from Awakening.

Shulk, like Chrom, is a dull character. I would much prefer Dickson. However, if there's any Xenoblade representation, it'll be him.

Chorus Men would be amazing.

Interesting. Namco should also toss Klonoa into the arena while they're at it. He'd be perfect!

Sucks that Lucas is getting cut as he was my main in Brawl, but I guess it makes sense. I hope he lives on as an alternate Ness color scheme or something.

Wherr have all this people that support Klonoa been all this time? I thought I was the only one that wanted to see him in Smash. I've been rooting for his inclusion since the Brawl days.
 
The Pacman reveal should have been at the tournament earlier, not via a tweet.

Really poor foresight there. Probably the only blunder Ninty made today, but it stands out.
 
It's worth remembering that in Brawl, six newcomers were hidden as unlockables (Lucario, Snake, ROB, Sonic, Toon Link, Wolf) and only two, Snake and Sonic, were known before release. The Gematsu leak may well be on the money, but it isn't necessarily exhaustive and complete. If we take it as correct, the only characters presently unaccounted for are Shulk, Chrom, and the Chorus Men, and even if all three are concealed until the release of the game, that does seem on the low side for surprises, especially if all the named returning veterans apart from Luigi are available from the start. So I am hesitant to rule out any inclusion that has not been explicitly named.
They could just not have unlockables. It is a very real possibility. With that in mind, until the Sepetember Japan release date, you have plenty of time to reveal three characters if thats the entire list, which it seems like it is.

Its fine really, just baffling that we get three Fire Emblem reps and not one is female. :/

Atleast it also seems there will be DLC. If that is also happening, then maybe they can release like three fighters a year for the next 5 years just to keep the hype going forever. :)

Then again, maybe not...would be cool if the DLC was all Melee veterans and Lucas and Snake + Pokemon Trainer Pokemon if they are cut, to start with.

I really don't know what newcomers if any, they would do for DLC besides Nabbit since he is the DLC character lol.
