They made them all larger so they can compete with Ridley. Believe.
I'm curious if they still retain same size as they were in Brawl. I have a feeling that one of their size has been changed.
Bowser looks like he's the only one who's since and appearance changed greatly

its ok we cant all be me.
I'll cast a spell on you
ofcourse.
I denoted which characters on my roster are hidden, because why not.
Looks fine but I don't agree with Lucas and Ike being locked considering there has never been a precedent for having to unlock those two before. With the exception of Ness and Captain Falcon being available from the start in Melee, typically an unlockable character remained unlockable and a starting character remained in the starting roster.
Well, they've only been in one Smash Bros. so far, so that's not much of a precedent.
I wouldn't count three things out of dozens "practically all teasing."
Anyway, whether Little Mac is in or not, the boxing/wrestling ring is some S-tier trolling.
As I have said before, I'm skeptical that it's actually a punch-out stage, in contrast to many here who find it a foregone conclusion. I just don't like to see GAFers' hearts broken.
Barring guest characters (who have to be announced prior to release for obvious reasons), there isn't any sense in revealing a hidden character a full year before the game comes out and continuing to feature that character in pics of the day and gameplay footage.

I gotta say, I would be pretty darn disappointed if that was the actual final roster. The best part about Smash is seeing brand new franchises get repped and playable, and your roster has... Pac-Man and Takamaru. I would be bummed.
Good thing I am 99% positive that the actual roster will include Little Mac, Mii, and Pac-Man at the very least.

Didn't they state in the direct that Luigi appeared in that he is always hidden, but decided to show him anyway cause Year of Luigi? I don't remember exactly, but it was something among those lines.
Melee - Fire Emblem, Ice Climber, Game & Watch
Brawl - WarioWare, Pikmin, Kid Icarus, R.O.B., Metal Gear, Sonic
SSB4 (my roster) - Animal Crossing, Wii Fit, The Mysterious Murasame Castle, Mega Man, Pac-Man
While I don't doubt my list of characters will differ from the actual roster, I don't think the amount of new franchises represented is too off base.
I wouldn't say I want but I do think it'll happen because he fits in the most from Namco's side. So far the newcomers are pretty creative in the game... so would like to see how they'll handle Pac-Man!

As long as it isn't that godawful redesign, sure.

No Offense but I really hope that you are wrong about amount of franchises being represented.
Every one knows Bomberman is better.
RIP Hudson ;_;7

What would Pac-Man's move set even be?

We've all just accepted Pac Man as a disappointing inevitability based off of that one guys pre E3 prediction list and to a lesser extent Namco's involvement with this game and are now doing our best to rationalise his addition because he's iconic or something and maybe he can eat people.
Only half joking.
Only half joking.
I don't, just because it's obviously going to be arms and legs Pac-Man. I only like classic Pac-Man.

Well, can you explain why you wouldn't?
RIP Bomberman 64. He's been my most requested character for years ;[

Pac-Man is gonna be in inevitably: he's one of the most iconic video game characters ever, Namco is working with Sakurai on Smash Bros. so he would be easy to get the rights for, and he has crossed over with Nintendo on several occasions already. The possible leak was only icing on the cake.
Now if it were up to me, I would have Namco's rep be The Prince, but we can safely say that will never happen so...

I'd be all for Pac-Man being in if they took from Nathan Stapely's design:
Melee introduced Game & Watch, Ice Climbers and Fire Emblem to Smash (3).
Brawl introduced Pikmin, Wario, ROB, Kid Icarus, Metal Gear and Sonic (6).
U/3DS has introduced Animal Crossing, Wii Fit and Mega Man so far (3).
I feel that we'll only get 3 new franchises with a playable character. I know there's no precedent (unless you want to believe that we'll get 9 new franchises to make a pattern) but 6 new franchises sounds about right. Not easy to guess though.

Pac-Man with limbs is classic Pac-Man.
There's gotta be more than three new franchises. That seems too low to me and I doubt we would've known all three of the new franchises represented from day 1 anyways.
I can think of a few franchises that haven't been represented yet that could potentially get in. Pac Man, Takamaru, Xenoblade, Chibi Robo, Rhythm Heaven, etc etc

Pac-Man always had arms and legs.
I don't understand why Pac-Man is the one game where people assume the original sprite is how the artists wanted the character to look. Are Mario and Donkey Kong's 8-bit sprites indicative of their intended appearance? Of course not. There were a ton of technical limitations in the early '80s.
Just take a look at some of the official Pac-Man artwork from the '80s:

They look too big, to be honest.
Especially DeDeDe.

Oh good. Well at least I'm safe in #TeamElite.
I've stated many times which Namco character I want but I've been censored by a certain someone.
Also this is how Pacman should look:

Maybe he's only familiar with this verson:
I think they used that look for Pac-Man Cabinets in the States. He looks like an adorable, yellow booger.

The beauty of it is that he doesn't actually do anything but strut around the stage like in Pacman 2.

Dedede is Ridley confirmed?

Out of anyone Namco could use, Pac-Man would be the best.
He's iconic and one of the grand daddy's of gaming.
Plus I would love to have him just to see a final smash where he goes classic version and you can chase the others down and eat them, leaving just their eyes behind.

Well regardless, Pac-Man with limbs is pretty horrendous and always has been. Character design wise he's no Mario or Sonic that's for sure. He's not even charmingly simplistic like Kirby or Jigglypuff. I've just never been a fan of it.

Alright, upon a brief google search, to see what moves he could possibly have, I found this:
If he makes it in, I pray they use this toy for inspiration.
Ridley's costume CONFIRMED.

How can anyone hate this guy?
He does seem like a nice guy.

That is my highly preferred version. It's same version that are in Mario Kart GX. It's obvious that they knew that version would work with Mario very well. I'm pretty sure that Sakurai would take a note of that.

I am looking forward to Pacman but this page doesn't have enough Ridley.
