New Character: Pacman

[Kriven]

Name: Pacman
Game: Pacman
Nintendo Debut: Pacman (NES)



Pacman is known far and wide as the face of the oldschool videogames. He is also the savior of the videogame crisis in the 80's, when the industry itself was in danger. He hasn't aged well, unfortunatly, his recent 3D platform titles haven't been the greatest. Despite this, he still has many arcade-style games that are enjoyable, even today. Pacman Arrangement, Ms. Pacman and the original Pacman are among my favorite games.

Stats:

Size: 4/10
Weight: 3/10
Strength: 5/10
Speed: 6/10
Jump: 5/10
Fall: 3/10
Traction: 5/10

Entrance: 8-Bit Pacman fades onto the screen, then slowly evolves into his modern-day self.

Taunt: His classic thumbsup.

Special Attacks:

Up B: Flight Cap - Pac will blast upward while rolling as a ball. During this attack he is equipped with the winged Link-like hat from Pac n' Roll.

B: Sling - Pacman pulls out a slingshot. The attack acts like Link's bow, but uses a slingshot for the bow and a power pellet for the arrow.

Smash B: Pachomp - Pachomp is what Pacman is known for: chomping. He leans forward a bit, opening his massive maw. Then CHOMP, he brings his mouth to a close, takinig a bite out of near-by foes.

Down B: Rev Roll - Hold Down and B to make Pacman spin rapidly. Releasing these controls launches him forward at an amazing speed. He bounces back into his fighter stance after hitting enemies and can't turn around. The move can be cancelled by pressing Up.

Final Smash: Pac Snack - What's this? A Power Pellet? It is! Pacman chomps down on his favorite dish! He can feel the power flow through him! His arms and legs seem to get pulled into himself, leaving him a floating, chomping mouth. His foes turn blue, their faces white with a disturbed and frightened expression. Pacman can move freely about the stage as a floating chomping machine. Chomping on your blue-colored foes sends them a great distance!

Moves: >_< T_T -.- ^.^ ._.
I'm not sure on Meteor or Pellet Punch, however, I like the rest of it real good. His Final in particular is awesome, but I don't think, and this is just graphical, that them turning blue would be any good. Just turning all 2D would suffice.
Stats: >_< T_T -.- ^.^ ._.
He seems crapped out on the statistical side of the fight. I think an edit to that may be of help to him.
Character: >_< T_T -.- ^.^ ._.
Symbolic of the entire industry, alongside such characters as Mario, Sonic, and Megaman. Certainly a character I'd like to see in Brawl, and I'm just as certain I'm not alone.

Total: >_< T_T -.- ^.^ ._.
Definately room for more pie, but as far as it goes, there's not much left to go. What he lacks in stats and his Side- and Up-B he more than makes up for in that simple fact that this is Pacman. This could be done better, but not by much.

[Kriven]

Well, I'll see what I can do on Meteor and Pellet Punch. The blue in the Final Smash is an homage to the color the ghosts became when he grabbed a Power Pellet (in Smash they won't be solid blue, simply blue tint.) As for stats, Pacman would be crapped out >_>;

[Shrikeswind]

Oh, a blue tint? That's cool then.

Why though? Why should Pacman be crapped out?

[Kriven]

Because he's crapped out in his own games.

[Shrikeswind]

Statistically? That seems rather hard to believe.

[Kriven]

He's too slow to stay alive in his original game, he couldn't jump for the life of him in the Pacman World games, he takes very few hits to destroy in any game, and he's got the appearence of a lighter character. However, he's closer to the basic side of things, I could probably use him better then I could some of the other characters based on stats alone.

[deathrender]

I've never liked the idea of Pac-Man in Brawl. I consider Pac-Man world to not be a true Pac-Man game. And all he does is eat dots, while running from ghosts. I guess it might be possible, but Pac-Man would not be someone I'd ever enjoy playing as.

[Kriven]

Who's this guy again?

[Johans Nidorino]

I do like the idea of Pac-Man in Brawl and I'm sure it would become the most delicious topping in the cake.

But I don't like his moves much. Are some of them from the Pac-Man World series? Because I can suggest things except any from that series (and my judgement lacks that knowlegde when saying it's a bad or good moveset).

He's only slower than the ghosts in the later stages when the game difficulty is bumped to an insane level, and at the average difficulty he's slighlty faster. Further, none of that explains a lower power stat. Even him out a bit, man, that's just not cricket if he's crap-stattin' and with nothing to counter it.

[Kriven]

Haha, alright I'll see what I can do with stats.

Johans: Rev Roll is from Pacman World, Chomp is from Pacman, Meteor and Pellet Punch are from my deranged mind.

[Johans Nidorino]

Oh, nice...

I must also mention that he is able to fire pellets using a slingshot in Pac-Man 2, to become Super Pac-Man in Super Pac-Man, and also get a winged power-up and an armored power-up in Pac 'n Roll.

I remember Shuriken said that he's also able to do a ground pound, is it right?

[Kriven]

New attacks.

He's faster, jumps higher, falls slower, and slightly heavier.
