There has to be something better than Pac-Man from Bamco's stable. Uuuuuuhgh

Pac man in a mokojin moble suit.

Lets go.

Nope. Most iconic character. I sear to god if there was a Tekken rep I probably wouldn't even bother with the game. Throw that shit out the goddamn window. Same with all the people asking for fighting games' most boring character Ryu.

If 1 character makes you not buy the game, you probably didn't like smash that much in the first place.

It may not be as iconic, but Klonoa would be so much more awesome
 
I see eggy more as a boss really. He fights in giant mechanical contraptions most of the time, a poketype.


However if you do want a bad guy

Ya got hades

ya got king boo ( DO DO IT PUT HIM SMASH )

ya got guy from f zero

ya got claus

and many more

I would attempt to main king boo regardless of quality. Yes. ALSO PETEY PIRHANA.

If I'm a Namco employee working on this game, I feel like I would not be all that interested in putting Pac-Man in the game. I'm guessing they would have much more fun with Lloyd, Naruto, Klonoa, KOS-MOS, Nightmare, Kalas, etc. Naruto would obviously be the big seller there but I don't know how easy it would be to get the rights to that.

No chance at all of naruto. No way nintendo has interest in representing anything not game-centric in smash bros. It's not like he's an iconic representative of namco or something. Even if they did, rights would be a clusterfuck.
 
If Naruto makes an appearance in Smash, there will be blood.

My blood.

From my wrists.

Nothing against the character or the franchise, but manga-originating characters have no place in a Nintendo-centric fighting/party game.

Thank god you're not a Namco employee. Naruto would make me despise the game.

EDIT: I would jump with Scrafty and Neiteio.

We can hold hands and jump off Iwata's penthouse suite together, Scrafty

Yeah, the problem with Pac-Man is that pretty much every single other popular character Namco has rights to seems like a more appealing proposition.

There's nothing to stop Sakurai from breaking his own rules, but didn't Sakurai say that any characters had to have originated from videogames?
 
I swear, I never wanna hear any manga/anime character get nominated to be in the game again. Not only does it not make any sense (they are not even game characters... what the heck?), but all the popular ones already have their own fighting games which feature tons of characters from their own respective franchises. Why waste the effort to include them over characters that would actually fit in a game like this?

You know, like game characters? The entire point of this franchise? Anyone!?

This is what bugs me whenever I see wishlists. It's just so odd seeing anime/manga characters wanted in.
I don't mind 3rd party characters, but characters not originating from games just doesn't fit.

Pac-Man could tuck his arms and legs and WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA horizontally and vertically, he could gobble up enemies, he could belch up ghosts, he could spitfire pellets, he could impose a neon maze on the screen and chase everyone through it for his Final Smash. He could be an AWESOME character.

And imagine: Pac-Man vs. DK, two arcade legends fight at last! Not to mention he's been in two arcade Mario Karts, and his Pac-Man Vs. game is like one of Shiggy's favorite creations ever.

As someone who has hated the thought of Pac-Man's inclusion in an SSB game since before Brawl, this sounds good
 
I haven't played a Pac-Man game since Ms. Pac Man, but the yellow pizza pie has a place in Smash because of the legacy of the character.
