Pac-Man unlike every other character in the game the main trait needed to win with him is creativity. Not everyone can do well with him. Not even zero has the creativity to main him. I suggest everyone try Pac-Man see what they can come up with and see if they have the creativity to do great things with him. Even if you aren’t skilled if you have the creativity needed main him the skill will come with practice.
This is true, I randomly picked up Pac-Man in Ultimate and I knew he was my number 1, what makes him different is that, there is no right or wrong way to play him, he just has so many options and they can all be used differently depending on the character, Pac-Man and/or Mega Man can be very hard to learn cause of how technical they are, but again there is no wrong way to learn them...
Cesar Alvarado you can zone you can zero to death the crocodile king of fatties himself with an apple in hand you can slide into people’s dms with a charged smash with the hydrant you can lay traps at the ledge with up special and a bouncing hydrant or you can kill people off the top with combos bayonetta style if you finish with side special usually after a bell. So many options. Meanwhile you have characters who have to be close up or have to be far away or have to combo or have to get big one off hits. Meanwhile Pac-Man can do everything if you are creative enough. And what’s really hard to combat is a Pac-Man who can do all of it and will switch play styles so you can never predict what they are doing. If every character went into a tournament with the person playing them playing their character to the best possible level Pac-Man would win just because he can pick the play style that counters every character.
Yakom I’m not saying that. I’m saying that most characters skill is more important then creativity. Pac-Man it’s the inverse so while creativity can be rewarded on other characters it’s in the single digits of percentage compared to Pac-Man. Meanwhile the reward of skill is like 20% for Pac-Man compared to other characters. The best Pac-Man player possible probably would only get tournament results with Pac-Man but would get real good ones due to Pac-Man having a seemingly endless bag of tricks and being able to switch play styles on the fly to confuse opponents.
I know pac-man got buffed in general, but forgetting the set-ups from sm4sh is painful. I miss bell>footstool>bell>f smash. Also, something noteworthy is that if you roll into the hydrant and run out right as it gushes you launch yourself pretty fast. Landed some insane grabs.
Bee Aaa Well in ultimate, you can do Bell -> footstool -> Bell -> F smash. Basically you have to Z grab the bell instead of Fairing to get it. It’s pretty difficult. I’m very interested in this hydrant technique you mentioned. Do you have any videos of it by any chance?
I wish I did. I do have a replay of it in a match, but I have no microSD card to get it on. To summarize, you basically have to roll into the hydrant, but stop on the far right or left depending on where you want to go. After that you dash and grab. The positioning and timing is pretty precise, so good luck.
been busy a lot lately I apologize :( ....but I got another video in the works for you guys, it'll be out soon :')...By the way, if you already know about this tech/set-up..kudos to you 👍👍😊
Thank you for this! I miss pacs u turn pellet gimmick, key/orange catch off side stage, infinite z drop, and the wacky pellet (down b twice after hydrant then pellet any directions you want/into stage)
Not useless, but due to the change in the first hit of Pac's upsmash, it sends the hydrant at lower angle. I find it better for catching people off guard now, since it travels faster and lower to the ground, but it is harder to confirm into it.
Got a question, what the best way to prevent dudding the hydrant scoop? I always have a hard time doing it, am I not hitting it fast enough after running? Or is there another thing going on that im not aware about?
@@aTom-aka-de_baby Upair is I think faster, and do less damage so if your opponent hit at the same time, depending on the hit he won't trigger the hydrant on his side, so your UpSmash's first hit will trigger the hydrant for you. So faster and more safe

Don't you think it's a bit insulting to suggest that people that can't/don't play him lack creativity?

@@ultimaterecoil1136 sucks that I am not creative but I try my best with the basics of his moves

I’ve seen Tea and Fawful use Hydrant gush in Smash Ultimate, but it’s a much stricter timing now.
SSBU 3.1.0 patch
Rip scoop hydrant
The distance got an increase but the angle on how it's being launched got changed
Minty ye, but I miss the old one :(
I agree, that was a big loss
been busy a lot lately I apologize :( ....but I got another video in the works for you guys, it'll be out soon :')...By the way, if you already know about this tech/set-up..kudos to you 👍👍😊
9 years since smash 4... the beginning of the video made me nostalgic for some reason.
Rest in peace. gone, but never forgotten.
Thank you for this! I miss pacs u turn pellet gimmick, key/orange catch off side stage, infinite z drop, and the wacky pellet (down b twice after hydrant then pellet any directions you want/into stage)
Yay another pac tips video ^^. Love it
The new update changed it, now it doesn't launch as high.
I love pacman videos cause they're so fun to watch! Especially ppl who play him so god like! Pls do more when you can ❤❤❤😬😬
Thank you another pactastic pacman video
Awesome video man! Thanks for sharing this tech :)
Thank you for the Pac-Man content, helpful as always. In the future, could you do a video on the bell? I struggle to get a good combo with it.
Time to practice this! lol op combos coming up
please bare with me if you notice any grammar mistakes e.t.c... I tried to explain it as best as I could ._.
Its okay
0:35 omg. 😳😧
It's so sad that they made his up tilt crap. Now you can't have one just balancing on the edge because f-air launches it further as well
Is there an advantage in using up-air for the set up or is it just preference? Cool video btw!
the style is a very big advantage when using pacman
Love you
I have a question.
Because of the new 3.1.0 update, is this tech useless now?
Not useless, but due to the change in the first hit of Pac's upsmash, it sends the hydrant at lower angle. I find it better for catching people off guard now, since it travels faster and lower to the ground, but it is harder to confirm into it.
@@viscose_matt Thank you for replying. I was waiting for a long time for someone to confirm if this setup was currently unviable
Oh yeah no problem. It's definitely not unviable, but I'd say it's overall less useful, since it travels too fast for Pacman to really trap with it.
JD InThePlaceToBe why not just go and practice yourself instead of waiting for a whole month?
Yes this tech is back I thought it got patched but no they just nerfed it I’ll finally be able to use again
I wonder if you can do a guide/tips video on pacman that's more comprehensive? I love pacman but I just succ at him...
Rip
Got a question, what the best way to prevent dudding the hydrant scoop? I always have a hard time doing it, am I not hitting it fast enough after running? Or is there another thing going on that im not aware about?
Question if you use dash attack to drag someone into the trampoline from up special is the bounce up that follows a true combo.
That's fucking interesting
So if I got the point, it’s the same thing to hit first the fire hydrant with a bair, nair or upair?
I'd like to know this also. And what causes the duds when hitting the hydrant with nair/uair? Spacing?
@@aTom-aka-de_baby Upair is I think faster, and do less damage so if your opponent hit at the same time, depending on the hit he won't trigger the hydrant on his side, so your UpSmash's first hit will trigger the hydrant for you.
So faster and more safe
I’m not getting a slide :(
Do moar pac set ups
1:55 I still cant do up air to the hydrant. Its so hard. :(
When you walk off hydrant, DI in, then up-air. Don't instantly upair after falling. Just takes practice.
When you place down the hydrant, hold your stick whichever direction you're coming off, it'll buffer walk. That made it easier for me

This is so cool!
