Seeing videos on how Pac-Man plays, he looks definitely more viable than his Sm4sh incarnate, but his range looks shorter.
I'll be looking forward to all the fruit combos the Pac-Mains of the SSF2 community will contribute, with I, included.

I like that how PAC-MAN uses his bonus fruit and fire hydrant and throws them on his trampoline, then bounces off to hit the opponent in the air

The thing is most characters with disjointed range were nerfed in smash 4 so its understandable that he might have more trouble here then in SSF2. I think the animation effects don't give off his range that much like it did in SSB4.

I love Pac Man because of the number of glitches you could do with his fruits. It effectively makes Pac-man a pretty good character and it also reflects on the glitches of old arcade games.

Very cool.

He seems too reliant on the Galaxian floating glitch too. Pac-Man's range is to short to approach and his moves alone can't seem to kill. His specials alone are better than his character.
