Pac-Man match up.

[DoleNath]

Hey guys, recent addition to the pika hype train here. Using him to cover the many weaknesses of Game and Watch. Gotta play against a Pac-Man main in tournament this weekend and looking for some tips in the match up. Suggestions for things like kill set-ups, combo set ups and punishes would me much appreciated.

A few things I've come up with that seem to work are:
- Punishing his recovery with bair
- d-tilt > f-tilt the hydrant
- Jump cancel up smash punish on whiffed grab
- Thunder jolt every fruit
- Air dodge catching key
- Stealing third jump on trampoline with QA

Galaxian onward are not TJ cancelled, so beware them. If you hit the Pac Pellet during his Side B startup it gets cancelled or, if done during the move, lessens damage and removes SA frames.

Some Pacs will try and grab their own key for Zdrop since it can tumble their own hydrant. Also try to use Hydrant's water for Fsmash/Dsmash momentum.
