There's always paper mario
I disagree. Firstly, Palutena's trailer was great look-wise, and worked really well at getting me hyped. Secondly, Palutena as a character is awesome. Her personality is amazing, her relationship with Pit is amazing, her powers are amazing... Just such a cool character to have reviled. Meanwhile... We have Pac-Man. He's... cool. I guess. It's just that I feel as though no one has built any real "emotional bonds" to Pac-Man like characters such as Palutena, making it a lot harder to be as hyped about him coming in. Also, I don't know why you find Pac-Man an "earth-shattering" announcement, as a lot of people were talking about how he would most likely get a spot. I kinda already felt as though this thing had a really large chance of getting in. Idk, all I know is when I heard Palutena was coming in, I got pumped, but didn't really give a shit about Pac-Man joining.

This can be said equally about Palutena, minus the skepticism about whether or not they'd work as a character
I don't see how you can feel such an emotional bond to Pac-Man as you could to Palutena, even if he has been around for so much longer. The one in SSB4 isn't the one from the original game anyways, so the only thing you'd have to relate to are the spin-offs, which are pretty bad tbh...
I understand the arrow lol. I'm just saying that while he's an extremely popular icon, I wouldn't call him something people get emotionally attached to do to the lack of, well, any real personality. I still find that Palutena is much easier to relate to / have an emotional attachment to because she has a personality (and a very good one at that)
I'm just saying I saw plenty of debates for those characters joining, and I think a lot of people didn't feel as though Palutena was guaranteed over other characters. Though I do agree that Palutena was by far the most expected character of the bunch.
