I have a great idea for which Namco characters should be in...
NONE OF THEM.
Man, what an amazing idea.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.
She is currently ranked 32nd on the tier list, due to the huge nerf to her projectiles and KOing power from Super Smash Bros. Melee, resulting in poor matchups against most characters. However, she is a mid-point between light and heavy characters, and her moves can deal extremely high damage if well used, due to how well they combo into each other; she is seemingly unpredictable in battle, as she can very easily wipe out most heavy characters as well as light ones, like Fox or Falco, though she can be easily KO'd by a medium character, like herself, Ness, Lucas, and Wolf. Her Final Smash has one of the largest range/hit-area, and is one of the strongest of them all, usually ending in a KO on whomever is hit by it regardless of their damage. Although she is overall slightly slower than in Melee, she is still an agile heavyweight, being the seventh heaviest character.
Man, what an amazing idea.
Whoever wrote the quoted above is a wonderful person.

But you said you were speaking as a hypothetical Bamco employee. So how does that all of a sudden mean that you know people think he's boring, particularly an employee of the company?
I didn't say I know, I said I would guess that. I feel like more people would find Lloyd, Klonoa, KOS-MOS, etc to be a more fun character to work with.
Is this info still current/relevant?
edit: taken from http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Samus_(SSBB)
The Smash Bros. Wiki is never accurate (although in that paragraph it's sort of right, except instead of slightly slower it's MUCH slower).
Go to Smashboards if you want an in-depth character analysis.
I didn't say I know, I said I would guess that. For all I know the people who work there think Pac-man is a really awesome character. I feel like more people would find Lloyd, Klonoa, KOS-MOS, etc to be a more fun character to work with.

Those people are awful.
So you were basing your assertion off of absolutely nothing? Well ok then!
I don't understand how anyone could hate on Pac-Man. Yeah, he's trying to "find himself" at the moment, but he is one of the great-granddaddies of videogames, an iconic figure beloved by generations the world over. He evokes brick-and-mortar pizzerias and smoky boardwalk arcades, the smell of fresh-baked pizza and the clink of ice cubes in fogged red glasses full of Coke. He's adorable, a perfect golden sphere made out of videogame magic. Someday he'll find his current-gen footing, probably in a return to his maze-based roots, a 2D franchise revival not unlike the New! Super Mario Bros. series. Until then, we as gamers must pay respects to Pac-Man's legacy. He deserves a spot on the Smash Bros. roster. Absolutely.
EDIT: Whoa tits
Not really. Pac-man is basically a ball with legs. What fun is that to put in a fighting game? Whether you like those other characters or not, they have much more to draw from for a move set, and would be more fun to animate.
Of course Smash Bros is more about history than being cool, I was simply making a minor point that will likely not have a whole lot of bearing on anything.

Kirby and Jigglypuff are both balls with legs. Pac-man has a lot of moveset potential you just need to be creative with it, and you can draw from all of his different games from the decades. His most iconic move would be the "waka waka" bite, which I feel like Neiteio described a perfect way to use. Then there are the Pac-man world games, pac n' roll, and even that one terrible SNES pac-man which you could use for reference. You just need to look into it and not dismiss him on the basis of his looks. If Captain Falcon, a character that had absolutely zero in terms of moveset was able to get one, nothing stops Pac-man somebody with way more potential to get in. Especially given his history.
Neiteio knows what's up.
Do it Namco.
Because outside the contains of his games, unless he is attached to another character he is boring.
To be honest I do not think pac man would draw a crowd, as far as hype goes.
Digimon4Smash
gimme Agumon or Shoutmon! Or better yet, gimme both!

Besides Sonic and Snake, do you think any "new challenger" ever has done that?
I mean, he'd certainly be more recognizable than Metaknight.
Pac-Man is one of the most recognizable videogame characters in the WORLD. The hardest of the hardcore might not take to him like they took to Snake (And yes he has to bring hype because he is a 3rd party character, his whole thing has to be hype because he has to get people who wouldn't normally buy this game, to buy this game. Pac man isn't doing that.
To children actually kirby did have a cartoon for a while.
Pacman is SUPER lame. Kiry and Jigglypuff aren't.
If Pac-Man was in Smash, he'd probably have a nose and legs.
The Pac-Man most people recognize does not have a nose or legs.
Was that Smash-like Digimon game back on GC any good? I only played it once and didn't get a feel for it.
I'd rather have Commandramon than Shoutmon. Then his Final Smash could have him Warp Digivolve into Darkdramon (AKA the best Digimon).

9) Everything else
There are Wonder Momo, Dig-Dug, that Legend of Valkyrie game, and a bunch of other series that keep showing up in cross-over games, but I think most of them are less likely. Okay, Legend of Valkyrie seems somewhat likely, given that it is referenced about as much as Tower of Druaga in random Namco cameos. But if I don't cut this post off here, I will be up all night.

but he's no protag!
Pac-Man is one of the most recognizable videogame characters in the WORLD. The hardest of the hardcore might not take to him like they took to Snake (), but when you're playing this game at parties I can easily picture casual girls and such looking at the roster and instantly going, "Oh, it's Pac-Man, lol!"that's what Bayonetta's for
Pac-man has a really broad appeal. Hardcore know him and so does anybody who did any sort of casual gaming. It's a franchise with a lot of history, and if people can't see the value in that then it's just fucking sad man.
Hey guys what's going on in this thread
No, but he's one of the main villains of the manga and the fugly BioDarkdramon was ShineGreymon's "rival battle" in Savers!
Seriously though, how do you make Darkdramon look uncool? X_x
But Marshall Law controls just like a Smash Bros. characterNo inferior fighting game franchises represented in Smash please. Thanks for listening.
P.S. Tekken is boring.
Why isn't Pac-Man Vs. on the Wii U yet? That game is gold! It showers you with gold, not pee, actual gold. It's a refreshing golden shower.
Oh man, I love the tweak to your avatar. XD
