Overview

Pac-Man kicks in front of him, dealing only 5% and low knockback. Due to its low knockback, however, it is Pac-Man's most reliable move for locking opponents. In addition, his forward aerial serves as a quick combo tool, potentially into kill moves. Its speed is comparable to that of Sheik. While the move does have a small chance of tripping opponents, the odds are so low that it is rarely seen.
