Well, we don't know for sure if we will get a Namco character.

I don't want Pacman, because if they went with that they would have to go through so much effort to think of what kind of moves he can do. Rather them just put that kind of effort into a Nintendo character. At least with Mega Man, he is a new brand of ranged combatant, using primarily ranged attacks and having slow or wonky close-quarters combat. He is like nothing else we have seen.

Simon Belmont would be cool, because if they brought in the eight directional whip or something he would be unique, and his subweapons are just begging to be special moves. Also hate me for it if you must, but if he showed up I rather have Kojima's red-haired Belmont over the retro look. Too FABULOUS to pass up.

Of course I am fine with only one third-party entry, though as long as it's not another SONIC I am open to new ideas.

I really don't want Pacman in either. I just don't. Like, at all. No real reason beside me thinking that he'd look ridiculous no matter what, but even then it wouldn't cause me too much pain if he was confirmed.

That was my second thought, after Valkyrie of course. :b

Well if we look at:
Characters who made an impact on a Nintendo console
Characters that can offer a new gameplay experience
Characters with popularity

First thing that comes to mind is naturally Lloyd Irving, followed by Cress. Tales of Symphonia had lots of characters people liked, but the uniter of worlds has a bit more of a legacy. I think the Tales of controls and combo-oriented combat system would transist very naturally to Smash Bros, so I would be pleasantly surprised.

^ Jade is the Blue Bomber. Mage Man.

If we get any Namco characters, I want Klonoa.

^ Klonoa Playstation.

Again, I think it all depends on gameplay. Like, they never added Mega Man just because he was popular. They chose him specifically because they thought of an awesome character idea that would fit, without requiring distortion. There is nothing like Mega Man, and it would be hard to replicate it with another character.

Klonoa is super cute, but can you really come up with a unique play style for him, that only he can do? Klonoa certainly has interesting abilities as a character, but how would this transist into the arena with Nintendo all-stars?

^ Klonoa Heroes and Namco X Capcom added stuff. Otherwise it's mostly the ring.

Originally I thought DK was a chunk of meat.

3DS screenshots usually look a lot worse on PC, assuming that's what it is

Yes, Pit is standing on the 3DS-exclusive Uprising stage we had seen earlier.

Ha ha. Even since Melee, we have been trolled hard with an image of Ganondorf with a sword. I really hope they rework him this time. Technically speaking, Ganny has held a weapon in most of his appearances, so it's a bit odd to see him walking around punching stuff.

I always thought it was so bizarre that they based him on Captain Falcon's move set.

^ It should have been Jigglypuff.
