Overview

Pac-Man kicks below him four times, launching opponents after the fourth hit. It is similar to Lucas's down aerial, although, it is unable to meteor smash. The move cannot autocancel from a shorthop, has a lengthy ending animation and mediocre knockback, and deals as much damage as his neutral and up aerial. As such, it is considered one of Pac-Man's worst moves.
