Ghost Strategies

In the Pac-Man mazes, Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde all have different strategies on how to attack Pac-Man. 
==Blinky==
===Appearance/Status===
*Color: Red
*Position: Leader, First to leave the box
*Nickname: Shadow
*Notes: Often called Blinky
*Strategy: Sneak charge
*Japanese translation: Chaser (or Shadow)
===Nature===
Blinky's nickname "Shadow" comes from the fact that Blinky will almost always be trailing behind Pac-Man. However, once he reaches his "Cruise Elroy" phase, Blinky will start to cruise at Pac-Man's speed, and even faster once more dots have been eaten.
==Pinky==
===Appearance/Status===
*Color: Pink
*Position: Often second to leave the box
*Nickname: Speedy
*Notes: Watch out for her
*Strategy: Ambush
*Japanese translation: Ambusher
===Nature===
Pinky is nicknamed Speedy and she will often follow Pac-Man's direction, not Pac-Man himself, then, she'll try her best to go around the walls and take you out. But, sometimes, she'll turn away if Pac-Man and her come face-to-face, in "scatter" mode, she often hangs in the top left corner of the maze.
==Inky==
===Appearance/Status===
*Color: Light Blue
*Position: Often third to leave the box
*Nickname: Bashful
*Notes: Dangerous, keep an eye on him
*Strategy: All
*Japanese translation: Fickle (to change opinion quickly, as Inky's target space moves around the map quickly)
===Nature===
If you read all of the other ghost strategies, you'll see that what makes Inky so dangerous is Blinky only attacks when Pac-Man is nearby, Pinky ambushes and Clyde wanders around, but Inky does all of those, so he's extremely dangerous. He appears to attack when Blinky is close, but Pac-Man can trick Inky by facing up.
==Clyde==
===Appearance/Status===
*Color: Orange
*Position: Often last to leave to the box
*Nickname: Pokey
*Notes: Often called Clyde
*Strategy: Random pattern attack
*Japanese translation: Feigning ignorance
===Nature===
Clyde is nicknamed Pokey because after he leaves the box, he will head to Pac-Man, but once close, turn directions to head back to his "scatter" phase target space. When in the lower left part of the maze, Clyde becomes extremely dangerous.
