Since we haven't graduated to Villager yet, I'll add a recent video and a few cents to the Duck Hunt matchup: https://youtu.be/slwVJiJ0BSA I think Pac-Man is better in this matchup. Cherry, Strawberry, and Orange are useful at deflecting the can. It also seems like Pac-Man wins in close...

I've been fairly inactive in the smash scene lately, played my first tournament in about 3 months last weekend(Dec 5th). Placed 17th out of 112 at Slay Bells: a Sm4sh Arcadian in Minneapolis, MN: http://umnsmash.challonge.com/SlayBells. Had a couple of streamed matches, though my Pac-Man was...

You would ask that, lol.

Just an FYI, I asked Abadango in his channel what he now thinks of the Sheik matchup, he says he thinks it's 55-45.

Flare Blitz can often hit you before you shield if you're charging fruit, it comes out deceptively quick. He can also approach you with flamethrower which will immediately make you drop your fruit, not to mention that when used in edgeguarding it's very hard to sweet spot the ledge when you...

I tend to agree somewhat about kill issues being overblown. I do however have to recognize that many times characters can sit in shield at high percentage, knowing that your grab option is horrible and very risky. It's not like they have to worry about trampoline killing. @Pacman9 We can't just...

You've been around these boards long enough to know that Pacman9 makes optimists look gloomy and hopeless lol. Realistically, a lot of those advantage characters should be moved to even and disadvantage. Nothing personal, but I'm far more likely to believe matchup spreads from accomplished...

I have to say, between Abadango winning Umebura and Zage nearly beating ZeRo with Pac-man, it's re-energized my focus in the character. The matches of Dee's were a treat to watch. I also had a 2 hour lesson with Nakat recently, so that helps. I go for the melon and galaga a lot more, which I...

Yes, I have tap jump off. I'll have to try jump as the input after shield, that might be what I'm missing. It's one of the things I really need to practice. Thanks!

Stupid question, but what's the input for up b out of shield? I feel like there's something I'm missing because I can't do it quick at all.

I call it the Triple R effect. :) He's been well known and popular for such a long time that he's inspired imitators I think. Might also be a reason why our scene has the variety of characters that it does. You'll be much more willing to use lower tier characters when Ganondorf and Kirby top...

So I know I've been away/inactive for some time, I've been exploring other characters and haven't been on Smash boards much in general. But I've been playing in quite a few tournaments, and thought I would throw in some of my impressions for the past few months: Sheik: I used to agree with...

Yeah I have to concur on the Pac-Man/Kirby matchup being 60-40 in Pac-Man's favor. I live in the land of Kirby(Minnesota) where two of the top 5 current PR members are Kirby mains, Triple R at #2 and Prince Kirby #5. I've played both of them in tournament sets and they were closer than the...

I would suggest the default reflector then. If a windbox pushes Pac-man during trampoline recovery, he can angle himself back to the trampoline. Sure, there may be a spot where it'll work, but are you going to take Fox off-stage to fish for it? I think default reflector has far more utility.

I main Pac-man as well as Fox. I've NEVER had a problem getting gimped from windboxes. Pac-man has two good recovery options in side-b and up-b, so he's very hard to gimp. A decent Pac-man will never get gimped by Fox's windbox. I'd actually recommend amplifying reflector for that matchup. For...
