Secret setup to KO with the Pac (Dash attack to Key)

[LanceStern]

Just wanted to share a quick trick I like to do to get KOs. Dash attack to B-reversed Key.
Take a look at some video examples:

I can’t tell you HOW MANY TIMES I’ve gotten a solid KO off this setup. Opponents think you’re vulnerable after the dash attack so they drop their defenses!

Try it out for yourself

Oh on whiff! That makes more sense.

I like this. I like this a lot.

I wouldn't consider this to be a 'secret-setup for KO's' but more of a 'bait-and-punish', something heavier characters like Ganon and 'Zard often focus on. The endlag for Pac's Dash Attack is still beautifully low, though. It deserves it - at lower %'s it could potentially even transition into Pac's Forward and Down Tilts.
I honestly think it is definitely more appropriate for this being a 'bait-and-punish' considering that the Key is already one of Pac's strongest and projectile punishes out there in his massive arsenal.

You're right Nimbus. Is there a way to change the thread title?

Nice. You can also do it near the ledge it makes you fall off the platform, that way if a character with a reflector manages to expect it coming and reflect the key, you'll be outta harm's way. also i manage to grab the melon using that near the ledge. wished it would work on the key though.

I love it Zekkaran! Forgot about the protection it gives you from reflectors
