Why is everyone saying Pac-Man can't fit as a character?
He's got a full face and body, complete with arms, hands, legs and feet.
He could punch, kick and bite like any other character does.
From the 3D Pac-Man games, we know he could jump and double jump. His up-B could be a spinning move kinda like Samus' screw attack. He could roll around like Jigglypuff, he could bounce down on the floor (think Pac-Man World 2). He could toss pellets if you want a ranged attack.
His Final Smash could be that every other opponent turns blue for a short period of time and he's bigger, MUCH faster, and deals much more damage while they're blue.
Really, it would totally work.
Because he looks stupid. A 3 year old could draw a better character design than that.
Still better then your average androgynous spikey-haired teenage JRPG hero like some people want.
I still don't see how you can say this when we already had Marth and Roy and now Ike who all fit that description. Although I don't want Lloyd to be in there either, we already have a much dude cooler dual-wielding swords.
Why can't he say it? The fact that they're in SSBM doesn't make his statement any less true. I'd much rather have Pac-Man in than a second Fire Emblem character.
Of course, my preference would be that NOTHING non-Nintendo be included in SSB, but if there are three 3rd party slots as I've heard everywhere, and one of them is Snake, I'd like the two other being Sonic and Pac-Man.

Therein lies the problem. His 3D design feels so contrived and doesn't work or feel anything like his classic design, which he's the most famous for. He shouldn't have anything but a wokka-wokka chomp attack, and adding arms and legs and eyes to him just sort of ruined him for everybody.
It would be nice if he was still a face but had no arms or legs, and he still moved around by "hovering". That'd be hilarious and awesome.
Kirby doesn't look any better to me. And don't get me started on Yoshi...
The thing is, Kirby's always been Kirby, and so has Yoshi. Their designs have been roughly the same for more than a decade now... and plus, how could anyone hate Kirby, he's so cuddly.
Well, take the NES SMB Mario. He doesn't look anything like the new Mario. Sure, they're more similar than 2D Pac-Man and 3D Pac-Man, but then again, Pac-Man was made way earlier.
That arcade Pac-Man may not look like the 3D Pac-Man but the idea is that Pac-Man was more than a simple 3/4 of a yellow pie even at creation. They just didn't have the technology back then.
You may not like him as a brawler, but you can't say he's BAD or CANNOT WORK. He can work as I've explained, and there are people who like him and want him in. I know I want him to be one of the remaining 3rd party chars.
Also, I find the Pac-Man in the middle pic to have much more personality and style than the one on Pac-Man Worlds 2.

Fire Emblem already gives the demographic that wants those characters options, and I don't complain because they are Nintendo owned and have the right to be in there. Third party characters should be much more iconic. Pac-Man wouldn't be my first choice anyways but he is definitely iconic and has a better shot of getting in then anything from the Tales series. I'd think even Nightmare or Dig-Dug would have a better shot as far as Namco characters goes.
Personally I'd rather see Mega Man, Bomberman, or Bub and Bob myself. Sonic is an obvious choice but I wouldn't be as excited to see him as I would with the aforementioned.

I can see where your coming from with that now. What about Harvest Moon guy? Only problem I see with him being in it is his specials would be too similair to an Animal Crossing character, assuming there is one.
The remaining third party characters are Sonic and Megaman okay.
There could be more, though, who's to say that "1 or 2" will be the final number? It could be none, or it could be 25, and Sakurai just said that to trick us and get our expectations low...? Nintendo can be dubious like that
Also, I reworked the CV logo.
I'm feeling creative, anyone want me to draw more logos?
I know! I don't know why all these people want Captain Falcon in the game. What would he do? Drive at you?
Worst comparison ever
At least Captain Falcon has been known to do some bounty hunting on the side
Pac-Man eats dots and the occasional ghost, and has always eaten dots and the occasional ghost, and is always going to be devoted to the cause of eating dots and the occasional ghost, and has never claimed to do anything but eat those fucking dots and the occasional goddamned ghost
"yeah but we never see Falcon actually doing any bounty hu--"SHUT UP
It has been mentioned so there is a basis for at least, which is more than what can be said for Pac-Man
When are they going to announced Lucas into this game?
Seriously Sakurai...seriously.
Even though I'm a massive Earthbound fan, I would rather have Lucas in than Ness. Maybe then NoA will get their stuff together and bring Mother 3 over here.

May I create the next thread due to me finally being unjailed?
Will you update the thread in a timely manner?
Considering I have to get up at 4:45 am every weekday...
As long as you're not expecting me to stay up for the update, I can change the thread after I get ready.
Trying not to let down my fellow forumers will also be great motivation to get my ass out of bed

I'll only agree to the extent that his actual expression on the boxart is retarded. But if he looked angry or at least grinning, he's awesome.

8, 16, and 32 bit modes, and Cell shaded. Every character goes into those graphic styles.
This man needs to be Sakurai's assistant.
Aren't you one of those guys against having Ridley in the game?
And now you want Pac-Man?
Stop the world, I want off.
fuck kirby
Yeah, I want Pac-Man in and I don't want Ridley in. Thanks for proving my quote right. I guess you can't differ from the hive mind.

One can only hope.
Mr.Saturn the wandering item does not count.
Ridley would be nothing short of fucking awesome in Brawl and if you deny that, then you are a complete nutcase.
Also, LOGOS LOGOS LOGOS YAY
Aw shit I made his head too big.
Wasn't that in Ms. Pac-Man
It has been forever and I'm not entirely sure
