The game crashes when trying to select the last alternate costume.

He kinda crashes when I summon the playtest dummy.

This is a really cool and fun pac man. Only thing I'd say is canceling dash attack and down tilt into down smash seems a biiiit strong, jab too honestly. also up air has such little endlag its insane

Nice pac-man right here.

t h o n k s d u d e but i can't even play him without crashing for some reason

Just wondering what the coffee does, I checked the projectile and I don't think it can deal any damage or can be knocked back by enemy attacks.

JonahT4208 Congrats on your first Rivals character! And as for eap6097, give it a go. You never know, it could be fun.

ait nice to hear that the suggestions where considered, and thanks for responding too! i only wish i could make a rivals character, keep up the good work man.

I Just Uploaded My New Character! If Pac-man Taunts While He's On Stage, His Head will show and a discord Ping Will Play!

Originally, it was going to be the bomb jump. But the hitbox PAC-MAN placed was able to hit people without any repercussions. So instead, it’s the trampoline jump from arrangement and CE2. As for the voice, that was considered. But it’s a lot less sound intrusive so I’ll keep it off PAC-MAN for now

this is just a moveset sugguestion, since his horizontal recovery is godlike with the side B, maybe you can make the up B the bomb jump from pac-man championship edition 2, i would also kinda love it if you added his pac-man 2 voice :P over all tho, Amazing character, combos are great, and ngl i like this more than pac-man in smash!

Thanks for making some compatibility! Also he’s got blue in his jump because it’s a reference to his Wing Shoes from PAC-LAND. Hence why he can triple jump rather than double jump

also might wanna fix his jump, it has some blue in it for some reason

i'm making a character (comes out friday) and sense i main this Pac-man Now, I'm Making Him Compatable with my characters to come!

hey! just wanted to drop by and tell you that this pac-man is wonderful! you've done such a sweet work on it

I keep hoping that this character is balanced for tomorrow.

Fixed it hopefully

Pac Man can "wobble" on the Jab which is a bit sad to make a Jab that wants to connect well but is a Wobbler.

New Major update out. Check the patch notes for info. Thanks all for the extremely helpful feedback.

Thanks! Definitely helpful. I’ll get to fixing those

Feedback meant to be helpful:

Recovery is kind of ridiculous. 2 jumps, fspec being great on its own and not having pratfall, and uspec being a lot of distance very fast.

Hitstun is low and a lot of ground hits are horizontal, meaning there often isn't an opportunity for followup.

Some hitboxes, like fair, feel small and inconsistent.

Killing KBG is rare, making fishing for kills hard.

Heck yeah. Someone should definitely do that

Butt Bounce as the DAir, Rev Roll for the Dtilt and Flip Kick for the UAir. Albeit Butt Bounce and Rev Roll looks slightly different with PAC-MAN transforming into a full on ball but they are there

Does this have anything form the World trilogy like the Butt-Bounce?

I've updated PAC-MAN. Instead of changing already existing mobility, he now has some tools to get around the stage

Thanks! I play as PAC-MAN in smash a lot too. Movement will be fixed. As for tossing fruit, tapping B with a stored fruit is how you toss it. Holding the button will make it charge further. Nair is a forward biting move, quick and good for combos unlike Smash PAC-MAN's "get-off-me" version. Remember this isn't actually Smash PAC-MAN, so I wouldn't go into this character looking for one.

Pros
Design wise, this is really good. A lot of stuff is much better than the original Pac-Man. His up tilt actually exists lol. I like the use of Pookas and other "obscure fruits" like banana and candy. I like th recovery tho it took some time to get used to. I prefer the original Side-B tho. The color scheme are amazing imo, and the animations are really good too!

Overall, a nice character. But could be much better. I hope to see some improvements! IGN 7 out of 10

This character is really cool. Pac-Man is my main in Smash Ultimate, but...

I really don't like the mobility of this character. He feels stiff and unresponsive, also some moves have some kind of physics that I really don't get why to add them, like n-air. Why does he move? It could be much better if it was smash-like.
Fruits, if they fall from the stage, take AGES to come back to Pac-Man's hand (same with the hydrant). Also.. how do you throw them? If I do the smash-way it doesn't work, If I keep pressing it doesn't work, If I double-tap it doesn't work. I found myself multiple time just mashing B until he throws the fruit. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but B is kinda.. not working?
So here are my advices: improve mobility, remove the damn movement in the n-air, "fix" the fruit system.

Pros on next comment

@Techpack yeah f spec is so good at horzintal recovery i dont think up b also needs that much horiztinal recovery

Fspecial and Dair are not able to be canceled due to their high power (and fspecial's mobility). They're kinda like finisher moves. Uspecial I don't think I need to change because of fspecial's ability to recover

also @Techpack can u make up b have a hitbox when he jumps and can u make up b not force you to go in a direction but instead give the player lot of drift. also can u make fspecial and dair wall jump cancelable

fair ig

I dunno. There’s something neat about being able to make an arcade version of your character.

@Techpack hoenstly I dont think he should have support and he should just take the CSS icon from the oppoenent since thats the size of the taunt anyways

Thanks. On a side note since PAC-MAN has workshop support, I wonder if I should set up a discussion section for a list of people who’ve added workshop support (if any have).

No problem, just happy to get a response.

I appreciate the thought, but for now I'm leaving the colour scheme as is. As for the portrait, that's getting custom art as the portrait right now is only a place holder. Also I already have 16 colours and I don't want to overdo it by adding more. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

I'll share examples of what I added in:

https://imgur.com/a/eyxZbcV (New sprite shading for all sprites)

https://imgur.com/a/4PeTZTs (Six more alternate costumes)

I have all the files for these additions, just let me know where to share them if interested

@Techpack imo get more thoughts than just mine i'm not the best at balancing

Right. I'll nerf it a bit

my only real complaint is that side b seems broken but besides that nothing I can really complain about

I made some slight changes to your Pac-Man in terms of adding more alts and more seeable shading, I'll share to you if you accept my friend request.

@Techpack yeah thats fine. this is just a general game feel change that I think will make the character feel better to play.

For PAC-MAN, I think it’s possible just have to do some workarounds. For Kirby, it’s strange. Attacks only seem to be able to store one projectile. If you have any suggestions for which fruit Kirby should toss, would love some feedback on that

this character is cool i just have some feedback

for n spec and kirby's n spec can u make it while charging if u press special they fire the current one they have

what was causing the crash?

ok, so zetter hit a hydrant with down tilt and the game crashed. may want to fix that.

Now that he's finished, I can finally say that this is the best PAC-MAN on the workshop right now! Great Job!
(Also bonus points for referencing the 1996 version of PAC-MAN Arrangement!)

CatIsOurGod you are just wrong about that

Well, for a first character, you did one hell of a job boi! Very nice.
There are a lot of stuff that can be improved upon imo: I don't really like DTilt, I think the projectiles should probably be deleted when they hit a player OR be able to hit multiple times, the character should probably be slower on the ground and floatier to better give the importance of the projectiles in his kit, UTilt is simply too good imo and ti should have a higher bkb but without being an actual kill option. Said this, you can get a lot of good feedback from the best devs in the WS from the official Workshop Discord: https://discord.gg/WUHUbvKx
