Description
Pac-Man hungers for battle! This iteration of the classic character is based on his original spherical look. Because of this, he uses many power ups from games like Pac and Pal and Pac-Man 256. His playstyle revolves around heavy combos using his tilts and specials.

Nspecial: Galaxian
Pac-Man fires a beam that stuns opponents for a short period of time. However, he will need to recharge the beam by eating another galaxian. You can recharge by using nspecial again.

Fspecial: Pac-Men
Pac-Man releases a Mini Pac-Man that moves along the ground and deals small damage while popping you upward for combos.

Uspecial: Glitch Teleport
Pac-Man teleports using a glitch in a similar manner to the ghost Glitchy in Pac-Man 256. Can be aimed in 8 directions, or not at all. MILD FLASHING COLORS WARNING (to disable, press the special button during the countdown)

Dspecial: Boom
Pac-Man turns red. If he is hit while in this state, he will cause a high-knockback explosion all around him. Has a small amount of cooldown if not hit.

Final Smash/ROF super: Super Pac-Man
Pac-Man turns giant and dashes quickly across the screen. You can control which direction he goes in with the control stick during the dash, but only left and right. This move can be cancelled with an airdodge in case you miss your opponent.

Other Tips and Tricks:
Dash attack will set opponents on fire if they are hit during the first few frames.
Ftilt can be held to loop the weak hit and released to trigger the strong hit.
Fair and bair will allow you to move forward and backward respectively in the air without falling. Can be used for recovery.
Dair is a stall-then-fall which has a sweetspot at the beginning which spikes and bounces Pac-Man upward.
Inputting different directions while taunting will change the fruit that appears.

This is my first character, so please leave feedback in the comments, or suggest balance changes.

I finally made a discord so I'm plugging it here. This is for my workshop (Pac-Man, DJ Sandbert, Kahoot, etc.), join for reveals, development updates, character discussions and more!

Ah, okay. I seem to forget about the aerials whenever I recover, so I'll keep that in mind. :steamthumbsup:

My suggestion is to use aerials to recover, then use the up special. It's short on purpose because Pac-Man can get a lot of horizontal distance from his forward and back air. I can recover pretty consistently using them + airdodge + up b

This has to be the most unique Pac-Man I've ever seen in the workshop. But the recovery isn't really that good at all, it's a bit too short. Whenever I use it, I always seem to fall off the stage even if I manage to reach the top. Do you think you could make the recovery a bit more longer, please?

Pac-Man? They invited PAC-MAN?! That cherry-chasing dot muncher isn't even part of this game!
