PACMAN IS BROKEN AND UNBEATABLE. INFINITE JUMP STRATEGY IN TEAM SMASH

[Ultrachaos547]

IM LOSING MY MIND HERE

I know that there's a video thread but this seriously needs it own topic. This is freaking insane. Do you guys think this is gonna be patched?

 

[Aeon Lupin]

Absolutely ridiculous. And right after Sakurai said they don't need to patch it. Welp, no For Glory for me until this has been addressed.

 

[Nu~]

LOL
I mean, a way they could patch it is by taking away an opponent's up B after bouncing on the trampoline...but that would make on stage trampoline even more broken and stop opponents from trying to gimp pacman's up b by jumping on it

 

[MOI-ARI]

Thats awful...

pretty smart team tech,but still! The way they use it is ****kin lame as hell.

I hope i never see this.

It doesn't work with Friendly Fire. (Source: YT Comment)

This reminds me of the Luigi ladder technique in Melee, and like the ladder, it will probably be banned if used to stall matches.

Made my day. Mappy salutes somewhere in his office.

There are several ways to patch it:
- People become helpless upon touching trampolines (Now Pac is toxic to fight yay)
- Pac-Man has a limited amount of trampolines he can deploy before even hitstun won't replenish it. (not really fair
- The above, but only counts down with touching other Pac trampolines. (probably the fairest, this is designed to end this strategy, but pacs can still recover together thanks to hitstun.
- Pac-Man SDs if he reaches the top with a Tramp. (Again, designed to stop this strategy but accidents happen...)
- Pac-Man can't deploy another tramp until he hits the ground (pls no)

I'll take option number 3.

My brother and I tried this out today for ****s and giggles, however the game had disconnected us for "idling". Maybe this won't be a huge problem? Can someone else confirm?

While those are solid ideas, I think the best solution would probably be to make it so that pacman can't refresh his trampoline if he jumps on another pacman trampoline

Yeah. Tbh, with Diddy Kong, Perfect Pivoting, Jump Toss Cancel gliding, and now this, I have serious doubts that sakurai ain't gonna make a new patch. It'll probably be released around the mewtwo dlc if its does happen.

Oh, turns out the creator of the video made a post about it before I did: http://smashboards.com/threads/pac-man-is-broken-unbeatable-for-glory-2v2-strategy.385250/
whoops

You need to do something to trick the game. The uploader suggests rotating your circle pad fully once every few moments.

The ladder was in SSBB too and it is hilarious!

Well...I mean.....Uhm....What? How and why?

 

[Po3T]

As a pac-man player, I approve. I feel that if a Villager can get there on time, he can pocket one of the trampolines.

 

[Po3T]

Perhaps Dark Pits arrow? or Megaman's Up Air?
