His only consistent KO options are his raw smash attacks, Apple, Key, Hydrant, back throw, and neutral air. PAC-MAN also has a fantastic out of shield game thanks to his neutral aerial, Pac-Jump, and his free usage of picked Fruits in Z-drops and throws the ledge), making his edgeguarding game fantastic.

PAC-MAN also has a chain grab & one of the best ledge traps in the game thanks to the fact he can combine Hydrant & Pac-Jump at any point (i.e. PAC-MAN's Pac-Jump and Fire Hydrant give him many tricks when played with as they both have the ability to move opponents. He has a unique projectile game with Bonus Fruit, which randomizes through 8 fruits, each with their own properties, and when combined with the Fruit Catching technique (pressing attack right after throwing the fruit to catch it), it gives PAC-MAN a considerable offensive game. PAC-MAN's special attacks are all very diverse and allow for different approaches and strategies. PAC-MAN currently places 14th in B+ tier in the tier list (as of version 1.1.0.1 of Beta), placing him in mid-low tier. His mobility is only average at best, and his range is rather poor, and because of this, he struggles against fast characters like Captain Falcon or characters with disjoints, like Marth and Sora. His grab is also very punishable if he misses. However, some of his KO options (like neutral aerial) are unreliable or hard to land, and his special moves can be used against him, including hitting the hydrant. PAC-MAN also has a fantastic recovery: both Pac-Jump and Power Pellet travel a long distance and the latter doesn't leave him helpless. He has KO options in his smash attacks, Bonus Fruit (with the Apple or the Key), back throw, neutral aerial and Power Pellet (when he eats the Power Pellet). PAC-MAN's biggest strength is his stage control: he has very good projectiles in his Bonus Fruit and Fire Hydrant, which are very versatile, can create various intricate set-ups and can also KO at high percents.
