Ever since the release of ''Ultimate'', Pac-Man has seen a highly positive response thanks to buffs to his mobility, [[Bonus Fruit]], and grab game, all of which improved his combo potential. As a result of the buffs, Pac-Man has seen strong results from players, most notably {{Sm|Sinji}} and {{Sm|Tea}}, ever since the early metagame. Tea in particular has won several majors and established himself as a top 10 player by 2021. Due to Pac-Man's buffs and strong playerbase, he is often considered a high-to-top tier character, which was reflected in his placement on the first tier list, where he was ranked 14th in S- tier. | Ever since the release of ''Ultimate'', Pac-Man has seen a highly positive response thanks to buffs to his mobility, [[Bonus Fruit]], and grab game, all of which improved his combo potential.

However, following the first tier list, Pac-Man's results saw a sudden decline.

This was attributed to his high learning curve, the rise of oppressive characters that either outranged him or could absorb his projectiles such as {{SSBU|Cloud}} and {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, or DLC characters such as the {{SSBU|Aegis}} and most notably {{SSBU|Steve}}, who is considered to power creep Pac-Man due to his similar yet more effective campy playstyle. Additionally, Tea's results in 2023 were far more inconsistent than what he had in the early metagame, and although Pac-Man saw success from players such as {{Sm|JDV}} or {{Sm|DDee}}, either they were unable to match Tea's best performances with the character or only used him as an occasional counterpick. As such, Pac-Man dropped to 23rd in A tier on the second tier list. | ||
