What do y'all think of Pac?

[BibbledyJello]

I like him decently. He can use his down b to knock people on a ledge off! That's pretty useful. I took him to a sudden death once, too. His side-b won me that. I honestly haven't used him a lot! Thoughts?

He's probably my favorite newcomer for a few reasons. His kit does a bit of everything (projectiles with varying speed, horizontal recovery, vertical recovery, repositioning and traps...) and he does a bunch of really cool mind-game stuff with the different properties of his fruit and the misleading hitbox on the very end of his side-b that hits like a particularly annoyed truck.

He just has so many tricks and neat little things he can do to throw people off, especially with his trampoline and hydrant.

Please explain this to me.

First, he seems to go to where the power pellet is in the middle of him, whereas a lot of people are expecting him to only just touch the edge.

Also, after eating the power pellet at the end of his side-b, he grows larger (I've estimated it to be about half a Pac longer) and that final hit does damage. It's not the best explanation, but you can probably test it in training.

Pac is one of the most fun characters I've ever played.

The fact that he's a monster is just the cherry on top... Definitely maining.

Tried the Pacster out a few times, he's pretty darn good (especially if you can chain his key with the hydrant together at later %), his air game is surprisingly decent enough to work with (at least to me), and his Side B can be used as a recovery move.

Thanks! I noticed Pac's Crouching A has some distance to it. (sorry for likely incorrect terms)

 

[SomewhatMystia]

No worries! And yeah, I think his down-tilt moves him forward just a bit too, doesn't it? It's nothing something I use terribly often, but it's fun to spam in the waiting room.

Pac-Man is really great IMO. I think he will be a top tier character as his meta develops. He can scale the entire underside of FD for crying out loud.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Loving him! Easily one of my mains.

 

[BlurZone]

I honestly believed I was gonna main DHD but after playing Pac-Man I just can't stop, he's a lot of fun to play, and I feel like he's a really strong character, I plan on maining him on 3ds and WiiU

Best thing about Pac-Man is his backwards crawl. Have you seen it? Have you used it into D-tilt, and then back to crawl?

Oh, and also having multiple, distinct projectiles, lots of approach options, traps,excellent recovery, and other tricks like virtually no frames of lag on dash attack and U-smash. He's such a cool character, and fun too. Every matchup can be played a little differently, there's so many strategies he can use.

 

[ZRoy]

Love using him! I always thought Pac-Man could seem like one of my mains, and I was right! I love his moveset especially his side special. It has very good recovery options, and can KO sometimes!

 

[Iblistech]

He's very fun to play as. In fact, he was one of the first characters I used when started the game, and he instantly became a main.

 

[CostLow]

Right now my main is Link, but I really enjoy playing as Pac-Man and Greninja too. I'm all about those crazy projectiles.

Pun intended?
