So to this day I occasionally get comments correcting or informing me that the mech is actually based on mokujin despite the fact I actually made a follow up video correcting that not to long after this one was uploaded. Granted I appreciate that they're respectful comments, but regardless I may as well link the followup video here so people will be aware ua-cam.com/video/ywi_lDgkrhA/v-deo.html
I remember wishing for both Pac-Man and Megaman to be in the game after seeing the first teaser trailer for SFxT. My older brother was looking forward to the game coming out because he got into Super Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 at the time. I flipped out when a teaser for the PS Vita version of the game showed their silouettes. I knew that Pac-Man's design was going to be the Pac-Man Party design because that design was being used in a lot of early 2010s Pac-Man releases before Ghostly Adventures. Also, I should add that Pac-Man's robot is designed after a Tekken character named Mokujin, who is a wooden dummy that mimics other fighters. I also recall hearing that classic Megaman along with Pac-Man piloting a robot that looked more like him were originally planned, but the Street Fighter director mentioned in an interview that Inafune suggested them to make a new version of Megaman for the game and the design team liked the Mokujin robot design the best.
It's always nice to hear other people's experiences :) Also I did make a follow up to this video, mentioning mokujin, as well as all the early concepts for Pac-Man's mech ua-cam.com/video/ywi_lDgkrhA/v-deo.html
@@thenumenfrompacland9491 hey, remember when you said that you got reminded of the serial killer portrayals of pac man? Well one specific channel caught my attention, it’s called Antonio Palmucci it basically crossovers famous characters from pop culture and put them in vs pac man situations, and I think half if not all of the characters die in the end you should check it out and maybe make a video about that, but again this is just an example I made but to make a video about that, it’s your choice
I agree. At least I like PAC-Man’s design in Street Fighter X Tekken, but Smash did better with his design and of course not gave him the robot. For Mega Man on the other hand… WHAT TGE HELL?! What knucklehead decided to use Megan Man’s Mega Man 2 Box art has his design for the game? That’s not the Mega Man we all love. Smash did way better for not just Mega Man but also PAC as well for their designs and they just did way better in general.
@@thenumenfrompacland9491 Pac-Man's mech is actually based of the Mokujin from Tekken: tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Mokujin They probably put it in both as a reference and so that Pac-Man could fight people with longer limbs than him.
It feels strange seeing Pac-Man fight inside of a modified Mokujin like he does, but it’s oddly fun. I’ll admit that yes, the ending is just OOC in comparison to everything else, but Pac-Man games usually have their own canons. In this game in particular, he seems to have likely just wanted something to eat, and then just got hungrier after consuming the box. Also, ALL of Pac’s voice clips were recycled from the then-released Wii title Pac-Man Party. (Arguably one of my favorite Pac-Man spinoffs.)
The real sad part is pac man on mokujin can kick flip, sorta butt bounce, shoot out pellets and has a dash move like in world games but not in smash bros (besides kick flip).
Part of the reason Pac Man's portrayal in Smash is quite disappointing is because Sakurai (Smash Bros. director) simply doesn't really care about the Character or his games, even if it weren't for the alliance between Bandai Namco and Nintendo, Pac Man would surely never have entered smash
'Rest in Plush' Pac-Man. Street Fighter X Mcguffin Tekken X Tesseract After All of This & All of That, We Still Don't Have The Pac, in Tekken =( Tekken Just Said in Ryu Speak 'A!!YouGet' is Some Shirts,Plushies, An A Temporary Stage Mod.
I actually really liked the mech concept even if I'd rather him without one, what I had an issue with was the "personality" of him here, like he's literally a full on psycho with no emotion only showing that one soul crushing stare he gave to Megaman. I won't deny it can be funny at times but yeah it's just so out of place for him!
wow, stumbled across this way late. But While i enjoy this video, I don't think pac-man was given the mech because pac-man cannot fight but that might be part of it. I think the larger deciding factor was his height, extremely short characters tend to be frowned upon for being hard to hit, and even in this very game Toro and Kuro, who are extremely short, seem kind of bad to compensate for their height. I think the mech was a choice given to Pac-man so they could make him more powerful and not have to worry about his height being an issue.
Actually, Kuro had to be nerfed in the 2013 version, cus he had an infinite. They're also still pretty bad suffers from "Yoda Syndrome", so there's that.
@@Pinkanator Oh, when I said power, i ment like outright big number damage, not actually being good in the meta because you're a 2 foot tall golf ball no one can hit. Its not like they could have predicted the meta
We shouldn't complain, what Megaman fans got in this game was, according to them, an abomination. I like Bad Box Art Megaman, but very few others do. Pacman was at least still Pacman.
It was literally poor timing. The devs of the game did it as a genuine joke, not knowing Capcom was gonna cancel all the games. So it was just spilled salt on the would they didn't see
Here's the fun fact. The reason why the PS1 era of Pac-Man was used instead of his modern Ghostly Adventures style is because Masahiro Sakurai prefers his PS1 design more than the modern version. However, if Bandai Namco forced Sakurai to use the GA design, Pac-Man wouldn't be in Smash. I'm glad Bandai Namco allowed Sakurai used the PS1 design.
Mega man and pac man looks like USA VERSIÓN OF SMASH ULTIMATE Bruh pac man looks like an over powered boi who kills the whole entire game Man dang I hate how they used the worst design of mega man and pac man
Pac-Man's SFxT design isn't even that bad. I get MegaMan but why Pac-Man? His design isn't even that bad. Some of you Pac-Man fans should stop fucking whining and be happy with what they have.
Hey you're that guy who made that video about derek savage. I disagree about Pac-Man's ending. Have you seen Pac-Man World 1's ending? He ain't inviting Toc-Man to his party to say the least. Besides,Pac-Man is not eating people in his ending,he's just eating trees. I guess Capcom's Pac-Man just has a bit of an eating disorder.
Oh yes the derek savage video. That was quite a long time ago Also to be fare, Toc-Man/Orsan did kidnap pac-man's family and overall put pac-man through hell. So his punishment for Orsan was warranted to a degree lol
If you want to have Street Fighter vs Tekken thing to have Pac-Man and Mega Man in it, play Smash Brothers. There's Pac Man, Mega Man, Ryu and Ken in it, and there's costumes and assist trophies for other Tekken and Street Fighter stuff.
I feel like you're focusing too much on the later games, you have to take it more like Godzilla y'know? A re-interpretation based SOLELY on looking back at the original, rather than the baggage of everything that came after. We can interpret Godzilla in so many different ways based on the original movie, so we should be able to interpret Pac-Man in different ways based on the original game, yeah? That's my take anyway, my actual problem with Pac-Man in that game is his moveset is just kind of boring and sluggish, compared to Mega Man's moveset, he really doesn't have a lot going on.
terry bogard told me pacman has no fataltities on another vidoe. i though fightin game had fatalies. Capcom said no? we should petitition Sreet Fighter to make pacman's fatalitity to pacman eating the losers' head

In case you didn't know, the robot PAC-MAN rides in SFxT is made after Mokujin, a TEKKEN character =]
yep! i actually mention this in the follow up video
Pacman has a mokujin robot
So it was kinda ment to be a blend of a tekken and capcom character?
@@Mewdo45 no
Mokujin is the practice dummy from tekken. 2 Namco characters working together
The hell happened to it’s body?

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. This is such a weird topic that ice seen no one else cover
In the rival cutscenes, pac man was actually pretty creepy
Super Smash Bros. did both Pac-Man and Megaman better justice than this.
I agree. At least I like PAC-Man’s design in Street Fighter X Tekken, but Smash did better with his design and of course not gave him the robot. For Mega Man on the other hand… WHAT TGE HELL?!

That’s because Super Smash Brothers is supposed to be a Celebration of Video Games. SFxTekken isn’t.
Rather interesting video... It’s a rather neat concept
Also his mech kind of reminds me of the 1st bosses of Fantasy Zones 1 & 2W
Yeah it is a pretty neat idea, and yeah I do see the similarity between the first boss and the mech pac man uses
@@thenumenfrompacland9491 Pac-Man's mech is actually based of the Mokujin from Tekken: tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Mokujin

@@ProjectSudoku yeah i adressed the mokujin thing in the follow up video
It´s like we´re having old movie sonic in smash

The real sad part is pac man on mokujin can kick flip, sorta butt bounce, shoot out pellets and has a dash move like in world games but not in smash bros (besides kick flip).
He also has the punches from world 3!
Maybe in smash 6 we get some of those moves added now that world is relevant again.
Part of the reason Pac Man's portrayal in Smash is quite disappointing is because Sakurai (Smash Bros. director) simply doesn't really care about the Character or his games, even if it weren't for the alliance between Bandai Namco and Nintendo, Pac Man would surely never have entered smash
I think this incarnation was at least interesting & actually had good music to accompany it.
He was piloting a Mokujin like a Gundam. Yeah…it was weird.
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD! I loved how Pac-MAn has a robot!
Maybe he can use this baby someday again!
'Rest in Plush' Pac-Man.
Street Fighter X Mcguffin
Tekken X Tesseract
After All of This & All of That, We Still Don't Have The Pac, in Tekken =(
Tekken Just Said in Ryu Speak 'A!!YouGet' is Some Shirts,Plushies, An A Temporary Stage Mod.
What a different version of PAC man
This channels underrated
Thank you!
I have a new nickname for that version of Pac-Man (which made its debut in Pac-Man Party):
Pac-Neutron.
I liked his voice, it was cute. Plus the whole robot thingy was kinda cool ngl. Maybe that's just my own unpopular opinion, IDK.
Not only the voice is cute! THE CHARACTER DESIGN ITSELF IS CUTE!!!!
4:55 especially that channel that crossovers iconic game characters with pac man and half if not all of them die in the end
no that robot from tekken that is called drummy
Hmm okay, i didn't know that
@@thenumenfrompacland9491 i mean it called Mokujin

Well, the Pacman in this version was apparently always unhinged, now look at the concept of Pacman World 2010

I actually really like PAC-Man in this game
So... A villain?
I feel the reason PACMAN was given a mech is cause without it he would be absurdly short which wouldn't work well in a traditional fighter
I dont knkw about that, Toro and kuro were in the game and have almost the same height as pac-man, and they didn't need mechs to fight, soo...
maybe pacman used a robot in this game because pacman is small
and i also don.t like it when the game made pacman a bad guy
It also featured Cole from infamous!
2:49 is a mokujin/tetsujin from tekken actually but is a mecha lol
edit: Oh ppl already told you that, sorry my bad x3

I'm glad Bandai Namco allowed Sakurai used the PS1 design.
PAC-MAN is in a mech because he's too short to be outside it and unlike the cats and Cole he was meant to be on all platforms until the last second.
I liked pacman in this but megaman ugh
Agree. PAC Man has many different designs so I’m not happy or angered about it, but Mega Man, I have so many complaints for his shitty design.
Pac-Man was fun to play as in sfxt but Mega Man was a bit mediocre and lame overall.
Mega man and pac man looks like
USA VERSIÓN OF SMASH ULTIMATE
Bruh pac man looks like an over powered boi who kills the whole entire game

2:36 because he’s too small to fight on his own
Smash and World games says otherwise
@@lightgivemepower6425 the characters are too tall and pac is too small
@@peppermintboi3452 there are those cat characters in the game
To make so that he looks so badass!
