Pac-Man (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Pac-Man benefits from his [[Character customization|custom moves]]. Freaky Fruit deals less damage, but each fruit and object has its own erratic pattern and thus can provide even greater mix-ups. Lazy Fruit is slower and deals less damage, but the fruits and objects take longer to disappear, which enables them to be usable more than once and provide different mix-ups. Power Pac-Jump functions like a traditional recovery move in that it only provides one jump, but it immediately launches Pac-Man very high and enables him to hit multiple times while ascending, making it suitable for offensive playstyles. Meteor Trampoline decreases in height after each jump, but the fourth jump can [[bury]] grounded opponents and, true to its name, [[meteor smash]] airborne ones, as its name implies. On-Fire Hydrant does not shoot out as far, but it shoots fireballs instead of water, shoots three times instead of twice, takes less damage to launch, and the hydrant itself deals more damage.

|grabdesc=Emits [[Boss Galaga]]'s tractor beam from his hand. Oddly, it consists of a series of three hitboxes with short delays in between, with no grabboxes when the beam extends fully and retreats. This, along with its significant start-up and ending lag, makes it notoriously punishable and often considered the worst grab in the game.

|uthrowdesc=Tosses the opponent straight upward. Though it is not very damaging and lacks combo potential, it can still be used as a kill throw starting at about 200%.  

|dthrowdesc=Pins the opponent to the ground and transforms into his wedge form to chomp them. It has decent combo potential, most notably into Bonus Fruit's key at 0% and up to medium percentages, although it can also combo into his dash attack or [[Power Pellet]] at low percentages. At low to medium percentages, if the opponent fails to tech the down throw, Pac-Man can also lock them with a short hopped forward aerial and thus perform another set-up.

|dsdefdesc=Drops a fire hydrant below himself that shoots water. When it receives enough damage, it is launched as a powerful projectile that travels in the trajectory of the move that launched it. The launched hydrant can be used to hit opponents, or potentially Pac-Man himself if it is sent flying by an opponent. While flying, it is powerful enough to KO middleweights at 147% while near the edge. If placed on a steep enough slope, it will tumble down the slope until it disappears. The water does not deal damage, but has a [[push]] effect that can allow for mindgames, mix-ups, and even [[gimp]]s. Due to it functioning as a constantly active hitbox, the hydrant can actually be [[counterattack]]ed and [[Pocket]]ed while it is stationary.

|dsc1desc=The fire hydrant shoots fireballs instead of water, which can harm opponents and Pac-Man himself. The flames do not fly out as far, but the hydrant shoots long bars of fire instead of shots of water, and does so three times instead of twice. The hydrant itself deals more damage, but has less knockback, and requires less damage to be launched compared to Fire Hydrant.

|dsc2desc=The fire hydrant explodes on impact with an opponent, surface, or after a set distance. The explosion does not harm Pac-Man, but it has low knockback and lacks Fire Hydrant's versatility.
