I would love it soooooo much if they put Agumon in this.

I'm pretty sure Pac-Man will be in the game. He's pretty much Namco's mascot. When Nintendo and Namco teamed up to make Mario Kart Arcade Grand Prix 1 and 2, Namco squeezed in 3 Pac-Man characters. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't expect to see him in SSB U.

And as for Dig Dug being too simple of a character, I wouldn't count him out either. Mr. Game & Watch was just a stick figure and they came up with enough moves to make him fit. Then again, G&W was kind of an amalgamation of several different characters from the G&W series.

I'd be happy if Digimon made it in lol Finally we can pit Pokemon against Digimon.

Why is everyone so trusting of Sakurai and yet everyone says Melee is better than Brawl? Brawl completely lost focus of the Smash Bros. series. The stages were ridiculous, the adventure mode was long and boring, the addition of tripping and making everyone floaty, etc. That was all Sakurai. Why is he so trusted all of a sudden? The only thing that makes him better than anyone else is his experience. Plus, we know his attitude on things. If someone doesn't like the way he does things, then there's something wrong with that person.

I really have to disagree on that one.
I loved melee, but Brawl is my favorite smash bros yet. (Yes even though it had tripping)

@DudeSean Just because Brawl wasn't the best entry in the series doesn't mean Sakurai is a bad developer. Uprising was sheer proof he still cares about the quality of the game he's working on. A lot of people will disagree with your opinion on brawl anyways.

Sakurai is just going to take Smash Bros. even farther from what made the original n64 version so great.

Then again, I've had nothing but issues with Brawl. I drove 60 miles to get the game at the midnight release only to discover that my wii couldn't play it and so I had to send my wii in and wait two weeks to play it. Then, not once have I ever had an online match where there wasn't at least a full second of lag.

I find the tripping to be funny, myself. I like how it annoys people. But I know it's an unpopular feature.

I loved Brawl, stages that just stood there and did nothing...they were boring. I love the chaotic stages like Norfair, as well stages like Spear Pillar that kept things interesting.

Well I hope all goes well, from what i heard Soul Calibur 5 has one of the best online functionalities ever (hope that transfers over to Smash). If the Tekken/SC/Tales team are working on it then we can expect great results since they're the best Namco has to offer. Also with better online services I'm expecting really cool future DLC (new stages, new characters, rebalancing, etc.) I for one am extremely optimistic.

The only negative thing I have to say is well, Nintendo's approach to making things better for newcomers which basically means making things simpler and making things worse for the hardcore Smash fanatic.

Just to clarify, I don't hate Brawl. It is a fun game. I just feel like the original and Melee were better suited to core gamers.

I'd rather not have the ugly 30th anniversary redesign Pac-Man in my Smash Bros. kthx.

Why would people even want Pacman in this game? ._.

Ever since Sonic and Snake were in Brawl everyone wants more third party characters. Well I don't.

Pure fanservice.

I just remembered. Namco Bandai made Game Center CX's games. They should get Shinya Arino in the game! He would make a killer final boss!

Little Mac, Starfy and now Pacman should easily be making the cast. I'm just hoping we get Mega Man(especially) and Simon Belmont(His oldschool Castlevania design that is) I hope we don't get any of those unfitting Tekken characters...

All I am saying, I prefer Pacman over some Tales characters. Pacman is a better representation for the company. Bandai... Tamagotchi Assists? Lol

That but a Pacman Arcade Stage would be awesome... all those sounds.

@WaveBoy, aren't Little Mac and Starfy Nintendo characters?

Or was that not the point you were making :b

Personally I liked Melee the least out of the 3 games. The original is probably my favourite. I liked how Brawl went back to being fun and chaotic especially with the Final Smashes and some of the crazier levels in it. Melee just felt a little too "controlled" for my tastes.

@Miss_Birdo It'd be nice to see some SD Gundams as well. I'm sure the midget sized robots could fit in, though maybe they'd work better as assist trophies.

Melee didn't get chaotic? I think otherwise. That one got the most crazy to me. It was also the most competitive one, I think.

Competitive does not equate to chaotic. That's a misconception. Chaotic is when an explosive barrel drops down right in the middle of a group fight and kills everyone and everyone bursts into laughter. That randomness occurred the most in the original Smash Bros and since then hasn't been properly replicated (Final Smashes and Smash Trophies I feel were a step in the right direction). That was back when items were ridiculously overpowered and everyone was pretty easy to kill at relatively low percentages.
