People are saying Pac-Man because Namco-Bandai has a hand in this game and they want a "proper" battle between him and Mega Man after what happened in Street Fighter X Tekken. They also can't think of any other Namdai characters to add, aside from Lloyd.
I honestly expect Snake to be back and he'll be the last third-party to get into the game, but if they even it out to four by adding in another character, I'll be delighted regardless of who it is.
Exactly. There are plenty of other Tales characters to pick from, but most believe Lloyd should have priority over Cless since the former introduced most Western gamers to the Tales series, though this obviously doesn't account for the Japanese fanbase.

If a Tales character shows up as a guest fighter, I will fully expect them to get dummied out of the European release. If there is one.
I just got a look at the screenshots for Toon Link and...is it just me, or does Toon Link look incredibly creepy the way they rendered him? I'm getting some severe Uncanny Valley here, and I'm not normally one to fall to seeing stuff like that. He looks like...you know those weird anime girl costumes? Those full-body ones that people put on so that their entire body is covered in animu?
◊ That's what he looks like to me. *shudder*
IIRC there were people who reacted as such when he was in Brawl as well. I for one don't see it, though.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyIf Bandai Namco did get a Tales character in there, it'd almost certainly be Lloyd, seeing as he's been on Nintendo systems twice. Mind you, I'd rather have Yuri, because, well, he's just awesome. But Lloyd seems the obvious choice.
Of course, they could just troll us and include a character that was in Tales of Graces... and now that I think of it and how much they hate the American Tales fanbase...
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.They could work Eggman in as a boss if they choose to do bosses again (and i'd rather they would, and do it with more actual bosses and less Duon or whatever that other generic thing was), then incorporate that awesome theme from Sonic Adventure 2.
I vote for either the Egg Viper or Egg Dragoon- I've seen plenty of Death Egg Robo by now.
Liquid piloting REX or RAY Mk1 and one of the Wily Machines are also high on the list.

Apparently, the recurring trait amongst Smash 3rd parties is villains piloting robots.

I sure said that!Yeah, I meant shocking third party. At this point, the only character I can think of getting revealed is a Lighter and Softer Bayonetta. It would be nice cross promotion for Bayonetta 2.
I know Ridley is probably going to happen. Would be nice if Dr. Eggman joined the battle. Maybe Dixie Kong or King K Rool to integrate more Donkey Kong characters.

I'd rather just have Snake and keep it at 3.
Plus Pac-Man is kinda bleh.
