Overview

Pac-Man transforms into his wedge form and chomps three times while moving forwards, with the last chomp launching the opponent. Although it has some end lag, it is the only dash attack to not force the user to come to a stop, making it incredibly safe. It also functions as a combo starter into several moves, particularly Pac-Man's up aerial and his key. While the move does have a windbox at its start, its effect is negligible.
