Pac-Man's dash attack is one of his best approach options, thanks to it hitting multiple times and having extremely minimal ending lag, the latter of which is very atypical for dash attacks. His tilts, in particular, also give him slightly extended hitboxes ( forward tilt and up tilt) or slide him forward ( down tilt), letting him attack out of shield easily or poke opponents at a safe distance. Though his ground attacks are weak with slight ending lag, Pac-Man's neutral attack and tilt attacks are fast. Outside of his specials, Pac-Man has a good combo game. Due to its quick start-up and aforementioned hitboxes, Pac-Jump also functions as a good out of shield option when used properly. It is also difficult to gimp, especially from an overhead perspective, thanks to Pac-Man's jumps having unblockable hitboxes. Pac-Jump is an effective vertical recovery should all of its trampoline jumps be used, and makes it safe to edge-guard off-stage, as Pac-Man will likely make it back onto the stage. Power Pellet also functions both as a great recovery and mindgame option: it can be aimed prematurely and made to curve in creative angles using his Fire Hydrant's push effect, and can function as a KO confirm from Bonus Fruit's bell. As a result, the water can be used to create space, gimp poor recoveries, and even force opponents into Pac-Man's attacks.Īside from his projectiles, Pac-Man also possesses a slow, but potent KO option in Power Pellet. In addition to its offensive potential, Fire Hydrant has defensive potential, thanks to its bursts of water possessing a push effect. It is also Pac-Man's most powerful projectile when launched, which makes it a viable KO option from a distance. When used in the air, Fire Hydrant functions similarly to Stone, which makes it useful for covering landings or breaking combos. As a result, Bonus Fruit allows Pac-Man to confuse and force movements from his opponents to put them in disadvantageous positions, especially off-stage. The fruits and objects generated by Bonus Fruit each have different attributes in addition to functioning as useful spacing, combo, and edge-guarding options, some of them (such as the apple, melon and key) notably boast respectable KO potential as a way to overcome the sluggishness and short ranges of Pac-Man's smash attacks. Two special moves, Bonus Fruit and Fire Hydrant, grant him numerous mix-ups for almost any situation. Pac-Man, like Diddy Kong, is reliant on his item-producing special moves to control the flow of a battle and win in the neutral game. Pac-Man is also able to crawl and wall jump, although the former is largely impractical because of his crouch's tall height. As a result, these traits make Pac-Man a rather floaty character, albeit not to the degree of Rosalina & Luma. Although his dashing and air speeds are average and his traction and air acceleration are above-average, Pac-Man's walking speed is slightly below-average, his falling speed is below-average, and his gravity is low. Pac-Man is a middleweight whose attributes deviate slightly from other fighters of his weight class. Pac-Man must then be defeated on Pac-Land (the Ω form is used in World of Light).
