So him and Tekken-dude are co-directors?

Seems that he's just leading the development team at Namco-Bandai, along with Higuchi. Sakurai's still overseeing the entire project. He's the head honcho. The big cheese. The main man.

And my bad, it wasn't Reggie. It was Nate Bihldorff.

Around the 7-minute mark.

Anyway, I'm pumped.

in my mind, making a public announcement of this kind is basically their way of saying "ok, we get it. Brawl wasn't as good as Melee. we'll try harder this time"

so I support it

I like Brawl better than Melee.

Same, though the pace of Melee was much better for me.

I actually don't think there will be too many additions from the Namco pool of characters. Pac Man was never really prominent on Nintendo consoles (to my knowledge), and they probably won't include any one from Tekken for its violence. The only reason Snake is on there is cause Sakurai and Kojima are best buddies.

my main problem with brawl is the abysmal single player mode

don't tease me with all those sexy cutscenes if the gameplay required to unlock them is going to be tons of repetitive and confusing garbage

Same. There were a few fun instances, but it was all just boring for the most part.

The game still shines when you and a few buddies just brawl, though. Amazing fun to be had.

It's my understanding that more of O-Clocked is against than for Brawl, but I honestly thought that as flawed as the selection of stages was, that Melee's maps were inferior. Because Pac-Man is just a yellow 3/4 spheroid that would require more creativity for a moveset than he's worth, and because Tekken and Soul Calibur are graphic and are already fighting games, I support the 4th most well-known Namco franchise, Tales Of for Smash 4. Hey, the Tales Of series got a ReMix album in the form of Summoning of Spirits back in winter 2009, so if anything, the hero of Tales of Symphonia should be right up our alley!

Too bad he's not in any other fighting games...
