[QUOTE=light dasher;43425055]So what characters do you want but know without a doubt they'd never make a playable role?[/QUOTE] Conker, Banjo-Kazooie.

[QUOTE=spanaren;43426017]Conker, Banjo-Kazooie.[/QUOTE] Banjo-Kazooie in this game might never happen but it should. Also be prepared for King Dedede/Meta Knight reveal in the next two weeks to go hand-in-hand with new Kirby game in Japan coming soon

But hey, Rosalina happened and I NEVER saw that coming (even with her increased presence in other games)...

Ever since the first Smash I've always wanted Rayman and Banjo.

Urkel, Urkels grandma

I doubt Banjo-Kazooie would ever be able to get in, unless Sakurai is best friends with a bunch of Microsoft dudes. A man can dream, though.

Too bad Adeleine herself has ever appeared in one Kirby game. (Did she appear in Brawl as a sticker?) Unless Ado is Adeleine [IMG]http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081211053027/kirby/en/images/thumb/6/6c/Ado_story.png/100px-Ado_story.png[/IMG]

I seem to recall a rumor that said Sakurai's team wanted Banjo & Kazooie in Melee, but couldn't because reasons. I'll share the link if I come across it again. Edit: Ah, now I remember. It was stated in Part 1 of Did You Know Gaming's SSB series. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ciImvi3KCk[/media] Speaking of DYKG, did you know that I was the one that took the screenshots of the unused trophies they showed off in Part 2? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcPipl6RAfQ[/media] The images at 4:30 and 4:55 were taken by me and posted on [url]http://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Melee[/url] just over a year ago. The more you know!

I don't understand this bizarre push for Pac Man. The last game he was relevant in was played in a cabinet. Sonic's only just clawing his way from rock bottom and Megaman is in the clutches of Crapcom, but at least their franchises aren't a fossil record like Pac Man.

Peoples basis on Pacman being playable is Namco is helping. But I'm 99.9% sure Sakurai himself said Namco wouldn't be getting any special treatment. And I personally wouldn't want Pacman playable if he was to be put in at all.

[QUOTE] And I personally wouldn't want Pacman playable if he was to be put in at all. [/QUOTE] Agreed. I would rather have something entirely obscure rather than Pac Man who is just...horribly, horribly bland.

Pacman would be a cool assist trophy.

[QUOTE=AnnieOakley;43430650]Pacman would be a cool assist trophy.[/QUOTE] If it was his arcade version, it'd be better than Ghostly Adventures.

Yeah they deviate from the iconic norm that Pac-Man is known for since it was a transition into 3d, but it worked out well until the 3rd one where they started focusing more on brawling than on platforming. If he were to get in, I'd much prefer that they exhibit his Pac-Man World 1+2 incarnation as he had a design that, to me, was very reminiscent of silent cartoons: big focus on the eyes and face and no cheesy voiceover or shoestring storyline. The recent 3d Pac-Man designs are just...eugh.

All of this Pacman talk reminded me of this, when they were debating art direction for Pacman. [img]http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pacman_newlook.jpg[/img] RIP B, C, and D.

[t]http://www.gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_GameCube/Box/big/Pac-Man_Vs.-Pac-Man_World_2_-_2003_-_Namco_Limited.jpg[/t] Pac-Man is a videogame icon of simplicity. He was a ball with a wedge missing, it doesn't get more simple than that. But nope we get a surreal detailed redesign of Pac-Man for Pac-Man World 4 and beyond.

I remember seeing that, and I was pretty sure no one liked A. How the fuck did that come to be the direction they decided on, D would have been super cool.

And of course, they did. And it looks like complete shit.

If they added rayman to the game I'm 99 percent sure they would shoehorn the rabbids into an assist trophy or something.

I like the cleanliness and shading of C, but it's far too animeish for such simple characters. D's plain, darkened features work better.

If Pac-Man is playable, instead of going with the obligatory stage based off of the classic maze, I would love it if they based his stage around B-Doing Woods from Pac-Man World 2. [IMG]http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120411044220/pacman/images/6/6c/B-Doing_Woods_Title_Screen.png[/IMG] The atmosphere of that stage is amazing in its own game and I think it would translate really well to Smash.

I don't see why people are trying to push for 3rd Party characters, 1-3 is fine. We don't need more then that. We don't need Pac-Man, We don't need Ray-Man. We need to push for characters of Nintendo games that don't have any characters in yet. Because that's what the game was made as, a Nintendo franchise fighting game.

because people just really want a smash bros-esque game where you can play as like 50 different IPs regardless of ownership which would be the coolest but will never happen because reasons

And people want Pac-Man because he is one of the original video game icons who fits into Nintendo like they almost own him.
