It frustrates me when people jump on the bandwagon and say Pac-man is bad just because of "lol stats and graphs". He has a lot of unexplored potential and I think he makes for a pretty decent character overall.
If you give him time to set up traps he can win. But he lacks a grab and good punish options. Nothing about him is threatening unfortunately (except the bell at KO percentages) This coming from a Pac-main.
I really wish I could have commented on this match. As a pac man main I was so impressed how Sinji played this, especially game one. You can tell Nairo knows at least a few of Pac Man setups because he was incredibly (and rightfully so) careful arond bell setups
Damn right! Nairo is no slouch. He’s not gonna stay defensive, even for a Pac-man. The way I see it, if he can’t play stylish and fast, he can’t play at all. This makes for incredible fights. Pac-mains, especially Sinji, are talented at adapting to fast players. *They have to be.* He can really keep up with the best, so well in fact, that commentators start to think that players need a more defensive style to be successful, when the opposite is true. If you have bad aggression, Pac will hit you hard, constantly. If you have bad defense, Pac will set up, and trap you, to no end. You need *both.* Learn how to get in. Learn how to get out. You see Nairo struggling, it’s not because Pac is broken or Nairo doesn’t know the matchup. It’s because Sinji is just *that good.* All the moves he does are highly calculated. Just, really damn good reflexes and instincts. A marvelous Pac-man. That’s all there is to it.
Sinji definitely started to choke game two. He stopped reacting and just defaulted to certain actions instead of downloading Nairo's play. Game 3 Sinji was too concerned about getting his setups out instead of using Aerials which got him stuffed and pressured 24/7 imo. Because he wanted hydrant and fruit so badly he couldn't escape the ledge. After that, the last match was just a joke. Sinji just was scared. Pacman needs to force opponent to play defense, but Sinji didn't have the morale to take an offensive role and build some walls
Medabu Tea doesn't travel, which still isn't that big of an argument, but overall i feel like he's better. I hope one day they get him out here. He plays PAC so differently
@xXx_Hatman_xXx is op; Because no one mains him. His learning curve is really damn high and his fruits can be used against him, but his projectiles can keep a good portion of the roster in check if the Pac-Man is smart. At least mid-tier to me.
He deserves to be in a similar league as Samus. They both have capable combos and amazing priority. Despite being ranged characters, they are devastating up close. If you aren’t aware of what Samus is capable of, might I direct your attention to DanishButterCookie.
high level pac-man is a beautiful thing
Also a terrifying thing. Quite the double edged sword

LinkonarX5 LOL no he doesn't, he is an ass character that relies too much on gimmicks.
LinkonarX5 I too hate it when people don't always agree with me because of "muh feels"

Aflay 👏👏 I couldn't have said it better myself.
Wow Nairo said wow this man's PacMan is god tier.
This show cases the power of adaptation.

I can say first hand that it’s extremely frustrating to play sinji... he 2-0ed me at momocon even when I went cloud... shoulda gone mega man
Shoulda gone Rosalina
@@Aflay1 should have gone fox.
Megaman - Pacman is a fun matchup. The winner really is just whoever outplays and outstrategizes the other.
god, pacman is entertaining to watch
0:16 that didn’t hit?
I can’t believe how bad Pac-man’s forward air used to be.
I get great results from using Pac's side B on the stage
Fawfuls minion would be proud.
There is much less grabbing in high level smash 4 play than there is melee play. Why is this?
Beautiful
People don't use Vine anymore?
Joe Hidakatsu Pornhub bought vine
Sinji lost to the champ of the tourney twice to get 33rd lololololololol
NerdCedric He actually got 25th.
He held his own. That’s the funny thing.
0:10 no, Tea
Tea has the skill, Sinjj has the results.
Medabu Tea doesn't travel, which still isn't that big of an argument, but overall i feel like he's better. I hope one day they get him out here. He plays PAC so differently
Endure Your opinion, m8.
sinji is def no better than tea in any area
Tokay tea has both
if you are highly skilled playing pacman isn't can it make up for his weaknesses.
Christopher Reid all he has to do is improve thats it
I hate ZSS up-B /boost kick. So broken and stupid.
Paul Ryder it's risky to throw out tho if you miss ur gonna be eating a lot of %
I just hate zero suit; her design is boring and her combos are stupidly simple to learn and destroy with
First
_Hurls blue shell_
This dude obviously doesnt like winning if he chose pacman
@Jiren The Grey: Pac-Man's underrated af.
Those fruits and hydrant setups are gonna get ya.
He's probably the best Pacman in the world. And used to place pretty high frequently at his locals
pacman isnt underrated he is actually a low tier character lol
@xXx_Hatman_xXx is op; Because no one mains him. His learning curve is really damn high and his fruits can be used against him, but his projectiles can keep a good portion of the roster in check if the Pac-Man is smart.

Leave TRASH CHARACTERS LIKE PAC MAN FOR YOUR LOCALS MAN!
Tier lists don't mean everything. If you know how to play the character, you can beat anyone.
That’s not even a good bait.
