She is called Ms Pacman because she is married to Pacman hence why they have kids in Ms Pacman.

Donkey Kong really deserves better. Bigger franchise than all of the series above it save for the top three and unlike Metroid isn't really hurting for potential characters.
Kind of miffed we haven't really seen anything Donkey Kong related so far outside of DK and Diddy either.

Is he planning on playing Smash 4 competitively?
Yiss
I'm gonna be honest: I don't watch much in the way of competitive Smash, but you practically doubled the hype for the Smash 4 tournament! You took enjoyable and made it amazing! Get well soon! <3
Lucina is pretty much more like the Marth he's used to than the new version of Marth anyway.
Yep. Dixie Kong at least.
Metroid also deserves better, but all the good options are already taken.
EDIT: Wait, 3 Kid Icarus characters?
Other than Ridley who else can they pick from the Metroid universe, the baby?
As for Donkey Kong, meh I can only see Cranky and Dixie making into the game.

Just you wait until Dixie, King K. Rool, Ridley, and Anthony are revealed.
Seriously, though, thanks to Awakening, FE is at least as popular and relevant today as Donkey Kong, and moreso than Metroid. It makes sense for them to capitalize on Awakening's success.
...We've barely seen lucina in action >.>

Also, FE is much bigger in Japan than the US, so coming from a Japanese perspective, it makes sense. But still, I'd like at least one more Metroid and DK rep.

Only 5 Mario?
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, and Rosalina. Also we aren't sure about Wario yet.
They are all Mario characters (doesn't matter if Rosalina, Yoshi, or Wario have different icons, they are Mario characters).
But you are right. It's also part of why I think the roster is going to be bigger than what a lot of people think.
Most competitive players are going to give smash 4 a chance competitively, probably moreso than we gave Brawl considering it doesn't look like it's actively trying to make it worse.
One competitive player you can guarantee will play smash 4 competitively (As well as Melee, Project M and maybe a bit of Brawl if tournaments exist for that anymore) is Mew2King.
M2K especially is going to spend a fuck tonne of time in smash 4 so he can become the best first and for as long as possible to make as much money as possible.
But a year down the line we'll know whether most people are going to decide to move back to melee and project m or not.
What timemark does he talk about it?

Remember when people thought 10 new characters would be pushing it?
Oh and DK basically surpassed Zelda last gen as far as I'm concerned. It's got better sales and there doesn't seem to be some massive split between the fan base. DK deserves Dixie and K Rool.

I expected Mew2King, but I thought I had read Ken was already anti-Smash 4. I may have made that up.

Pac-Man is actually the name of their species and they're the last of their kind. Like Mister Sapiens and Missus Sapiens, basically.

If Nintendo continues to sponsor evo and/or push their own smash 4 tournaments like the e3 invitational people will play smash 4 competitively even if its worse then Brawl as there will be more money there.

Reducing Mario to "5 characters" seems silly because, series icons aside, Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong are all essentially "Mario characters."
Pre dark samus assist trophy I would have said Dark Samus and Ridley, but now I'd go with either Sylux, Ridley or Space Pirate/Weavel in terms of who should be picked.
Hell, I'd take a GF Trooper or an Ing at this point haha.

Who was the guy who said he actively wanted Smash 4 to suck? Hungrybox?
Yep, I think most will give it a chance. It could be less than Brawl initially though, since many feel they've already been burned once. From there it will just depend on how good the game is.
The Mario franchise has 6 representatives - Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Rosalina, and Yoshi.

Agreed. You could sort of make a case for DK and Diddy, but an emblem change doesn't make me think of Yoshi and Wario as completely their own separate series.

Peachyhime?
Discussion on the new characters starts around 23 minutes.
Diddy Kong started out in a Donkey Kong game with no connection to Mario.
He's anti-smash 4 in the way that I'm anti smash 4: Not really at all, he just thinks it has a few problems.
All he's said as far as I'm aware is that he doesn't like current marth because you can't do stuff like 2 fairs in one jump.
You can't do the Ken combo in smash 4, maybe that's why he's salty about Marth, idk.
Huh, that can't be right. I thought Hbox was one of the good ones.
Dark Samus
And yes, she's an assist trophy already. Since Ridley is obviously a boss and Mother Brain is also an assist trophy, that means all the good options are already taken.

Ah, okay. Perhaps I'm mixing him up with someone.

Peachyhime said she couldn't wait to get back home and play project m, no high profile (I guess I'm including Peachyhime in this) player has said they want it to suck as far as I'm aware.

Ehhhh maybe Donkey, but Diddy? No way dude.

I'm just operating under the assumption Dark Pit is getting that quick and dirty Lucina treatment.
I'm just going by the game's categorization of the characters. But yes it's even crazier when you throw the others into the mix.
Yeah, I posted it yesterday, Hungrybox said 5 months ago he hoped Smash 4 would suck

Man you make Smash more than just a game for those of us watching at home. You make it into something incredible as folks play it out. The incredible stuff at the Invitational and all the great moments this season leading through to the climax at EVO. Just so much. Your hype was the fuel that lit the fire for many of us.
Wish you all the best man.
That's pretty weak. It was a while ago though, maybe he's changed his tune.

I don't even know what to say to that.
Yeah, I think it's more honest to think of Mario reps in terms of "Mario universe" rather than whether they have the M icon. Way I look at it, if the characters appear in a Mario spinoff like Kart, Tennis, Golf, etc, they're just as much a Mario character as they are anything else. So by that measure, Wario, Yoshi, etc, all add to the Mario brand's presence in Smash Bros.
Lol, and he still got invited to the Smash 4 Invitational. If I was Nintendo, I would have given his spot to Armada or Fiction for that.

Dunno, even if he has, I'm probably not going to accept a serious opinion from someone who has already outed their agenda.
