Pacman rides on the back of an enlarged mokojin from tekken and the megaman who featured in that was 100% capcom taking the piss out of him from the cover art of a 20+ year old NES game. Smash brothers is a place where all characters from their respective games are shown for where they were at their greatest, it's a museam of great characters. SFxT was a place for taking the piss out of the characters who featured in it and the unfortune fuckers who bought it (me included)
edit - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT4xjd9bGI0 here's Sakurai explaining about the stuff appearing in smash bros, more clearly the portion of the video at http://youtu.be/cT4xjd9bGI0?t=3m56s |
I personnaly found the megaman sprite pretty funny. And of course they wouldn't do the same in SSB, it's a totally different game.
I just meant both characters already appeared in a recent fighting game.
