Lloyd Irving.

I don't actually know but I'm reading how a couple of years ago people wanted some guy I never heard of Llyod Irving instead of Pacman.

 

[Maziyah]

Id never drop pac-man smh if i ever felt i couldnt do something with him there are secondaries and such smh maybe he just grew away from him.

 

[Nu~]

The part that stings the most is how he's bragging that his new character is so much better than pacman and is our worst matchup.

He won't reveal who it is yet, but we know it isn't Shiek because he said Shiek is too boring.
I've lost a lot of respect for chef pac due to his way of bashing people who like customs and stuff like that, but this pushed me off the edge.

Probably someone with a reflector becuz these are hard counters to us amirite?

 

[Splebel]

It could be Rosa. I don't know if he already plays her but people act like it's our worst matchup.

If he did this I would laugh.

If only people woke up and realized that gravitational pull is punishable (and can heal us)
Ah, let them learn on their own. Feels good to beat a haughty rosa main

 

[Splebel]

I look at it as people pick Rosa against us as an easy win so they don't try as hard and get surprised/frustrated when we counter her staple move against projectile users. Against lower skill players I like to give them act like Rosa shuts us down hard for a bit. Then I flip the switch and proceed to destroy them.

Pac-Man's sprite in Super Mario Maker. It's exactly as I had hoped, his Japanese Pac-Land sprite! His boots have been edited shorter so that he fits more appropriately, but it isn't noticeable at first glance. Thank you Nintendo!

 

[Froggy]

3 Pac-man going to Nebulas ! Lets do this shinji and @ Froggy we got one day left to train and so forth. Lets get pac man on stream and lets get as high as we possibly can

Who is Sinji, does he post on the boards?

 

[Maziyah]

Jesus, peeps in the Viability Thread really trying to tell us Pac-Man isn't hard to play.

I hate how much is misunderstood about him.

Lol I know right.

I already know that we're going to end up in mid tier for the first couple of tier lists just because of how misunderstood he is. People just try to call us a "typical zoner" with some unique properties and leave it at that. Remember when someone tried to say that link and pacman are the same?? XD

Give it time. The people will see.

I think with the right buff Pac could definitely be top 10. Most likely SOMETHING to be done with his POS grab.

But as of right now I firmly believe he's definitely top 15-ish. Which I guess is around mid tier.

I will say Link and Pacman have similar roles. I personally thought they could be good together in a doubles match.

With the amount of characters in this game, top 15 is high tier. That's where I would put him too.

They share creative zoning, but that's where the similarities fall short. Link is more of a turtle character where he benefits more from a reactive playstyle by beating your buttons whith disjoints, where Pac-Man is built around having the tools for every option. What keeps Pac-Man from being stupid is the fact that he needs time to set up, which is why Shiek is difficult, but not impossible, to beat.

Edit:
I would prefer a team with different roles so that they can cover each other's weaknesses.
For example, Shiek can hold opponents back while Pac-Man sets up and stock tanks.

 

[MachoCheeze]

Eh, I wouldnt say so. Where Link relies on zoning with his projectiles I see Pac-Man's strengths relying on his REGRABBED fruit.

Setting up traps and using the fruit as an extension of his close combat game to put pressure on the opponent. I don't know how many times I've almost broken someone's shields by z-dropping cherries and nairing into shields.

Pac IMO is THE character that makes you play his game because of how different his neutral is to everyone else.

 

[MachoCheeze]

Double post

 

[Nu~]

Like, Pac's nuetral game revolves around destroying his opponent's nuetral game and forcing them to play his own game lol.

I was about to bored the train to thing when I double checked the rules an saw that they changed it so that customs are off. That was the entire reason i was excited for this thing.

I'm sorry Maziyah but I have too much going on in my life right now to attend a tournament I am unlikely to enjoy. I wish you the best of luck at this thing and I'll be checking out the stream so I hope I catch your play if you manage to get on.

Unfortunately, this may be the way smash 4 goes in the future.

Too many people wanted to be lazy instead of learning more matchups :/
Feels like smash players don't like depth tbh

 

[Splebel]

I saw Link and Pacman being similar as they both can go long and short so they can camp out the opponents if they want or they can go in. I never said they play the same.

My only problems with customs is almost all of the them need to be unlocked and it's random so I can't get them all in a reasonable time. Also I don't know what the official customs rule was but I would like a rule where the players have to tell each other what custom they are using so I know what I'm fighting.

Oops. Sorry, yeah you are definitely right about that.

the rule is that you have to reveal what customs you are using. It is a pain to unlock customs, I agree with you.

Why sakurai made it that way is what I want to know.

 

[Splebel]

For REPLAYABILITY, OooooOooooOOOooo! (More Ghost Noises and ghost images!)

It was some very stupid effort to replicate the success of Pokemon trading I imagine.

Probably Falcon, then.

Also, he mentions "strong secondary" so he's not dropping Pac, just not maining him anymore.

 

[Nu~]

Falcon as our worse matchup?
That's a riot.

And you can't secondary Pac-Man with the amount of dedication he takes. To me, he isn't a member of the pac-community anymore

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Could we possibly ledge trump someone into a red trampoline?

 

[Nu~]

I don't know...it would be hard to get the positioning.

Unless we combined it with the hydrant. Ledge trump into hydrant water which pushes them into a red trampoline.

Sounds convoluted. I like it.

Eh, I dunno. Abadango seems to think it's quite bad for Pac-Man.

 

[Froggy]

Eh, I dunno. Abadango seems to think it's quite bad for Pac-Man.

Thats because Abadango doesn't abuse the trampoline.

 

[Nu~]

Eh, I dunno. Abadango seems to think it's quite bad for Pac-Man.

That's because Abadango doesn't play pac to his fullest

Seriously, if you wait out behind the trampoline near the ledge, you force falcon to play your neutral.

 

[MachoCheeze]

Yeah I'd say Falcon is one of our easier MU. He can't do anything to trampolines and we can harass him from afar. Also if he get him offstage GG for him he's way easy to gimp.

 

[Froggy]

I think trampoline in the middle of the stage is stronger than the ledge. At the ledge you're one hard read away from dying.

Eh, its not a MU I really go up against much. I was just kind of guessing on what he was thinking.

Tramp or not, it can still be kinda tricky. Though yeah it's not too bad after you look at that.

 

[Splebel]

I revise what I said earlier about customs. Some of the customs seem pretty broken. I just fought some pretty mean customs. Although it was also super stuttery. Pac's customs aren't broken but if I would probably ban all customs except Mii Fighters. To make it easier.

Pac's customs are a bit underwhelming, honestly. On-Fire Hydrant is alright, it's what I prefer to use, but outside of that his customs are pretty...eh.
