Pac-Man does a dropkick, hitting opponents behind him. The hit deals 11.8% damage and has moderate knockback, making it a kill option at higher percents. It is able to autocancel off of a short hop, making it an effective spacing tool. If not autocancelled, however, the move has 22 frames of landing lag, leaving Pac-Man open to punishes.
