...I'm not familiar with Xenoblade Chronicles, so I'm not that excited about Shulk joining the fray.

However, I AM excited about Pac-Man joining the fray. As the trailer for him points out, he's from same year as Mr. Game and Watch, one of my favorite characters in a Smash context. He also pulls moves not just from his own games, but from other Namco arcade games like Galaga (which incidentally often shared a cabinet with Mrs. Pac Man). We see him not only deploy Galaga ships, but also use the Galaga tractor beam, most likely as his grab.

He may end up a close second to Mr. Game & Watch when I get the game.

...

However, he didn't appear in any of the leaks. Is this Nintendo saying "[EXPLETIVE REDACTED] you and your leaks, this is our game, it's not finished, we control what characters will be in there, and you WILL still be watching the trailers to see who wre add after that leak!"?
