No it doesn't, everything confirmed from that poo poo so far has been obvious as hell. They missed HARD on anything that was actually substantial and new, like Greninja and Rosalina.

Really? You expected Pac-Man to be in the next Smash Bros. game?

Yes. Namco have been in on this from day one, and they've had an in-game presence. They were obviously going to have some sort of representation, and there was only one choice.

To me it looked like the guy just wasn't good with Mega Man. It looked like he could be really awesome in better hands

He was playing a projectile specialist with a ton of interesting moves as a melee bruiser and failing horribly at it. I don't even think he fired any more than a single Metal Blade, Crash Bomb, or fully-charged buster!

Many chars are up close mixers, but Rock just isn't.

IGN is claiming that Smash 4 will have "around 33 characters", which definitely doesn't sound right and is, in fact, terrifyingly low. So low, in fact, that it's fewer than the number of already-confirmed characters.

That is incredibly low, considering that means we have something like 4 or 5 people left and we're still missing a fair amount of veterans. Considering IGN's coverage this year, I'm not trusting this.

I'm glad you can't use custom characters in ranked for obvious reasons, but that sorta implies there's no "default" Mii, which seems really dumb.

That's the number we're at right now, with Pac-Man in. I'm expecting it to go as high as 40.

To everyone complaining about lack of anything, to be fair, this is also how they revealed Sonic back in Brawl, and then Sonic dominated the next day with a trailer and everything. Pac is probably getting the site and the trailer tomorrow.

Definitely not surprised that a Namco character made it in, considering who's working on the game. I'd have liked to see Klonoa, or one of the Tales of characters, but this was always the most likely choice.

e: what now, 30 characters? That's not "roughly the same size as brawl" at all.

Klonoa as the Namco rep would have owned bones. I mean, I guess he's not as iconic as Pacman, but his moveset would have been great.
