Pac-Man (USBIV)

Pac-Man is a startable playable character in Ultra Smash Bros. IV and makes his second appearance in the series since Smash 4. He was confirmed on the second day during the revelance of the Rivalery Week due to being a third party character from Bandai Namco, alongside with SEGA's Sonic and Bayonetta, Capcom's Mega Man and Ryu, Ubisoft's Rayman, Square Enix's Black Mage and Cloud, and Konami's Bomberman and Snake. In his own universe, Pac-Man is a character who lives in Pac-Land and protects the citzens against various ghosts. Alongside of his story of himself, Pac-Man is one of the iconic videogame characters in the game history and makes his popularity bigger by one of his iconic arcade games.
Pac-Man recieves an alternate appearance in this game from the original appearance of his game and animated series: Pac-Man & The Ghostly Adventures / 2 for Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and other third party consoles. They decided now to put this alternate costume to produce buisness with Pac-Man games in their own company. To maintain his fresh appearance like Smash 4, Pac-Man as also his classic costumes with arcade sound effects.
Pac-Man also recieves voice acting unlike Smash 4, voiced by Erica Mendez, who also voices the games Pac-Man & The Ghostly Adventures / 2. For the classic Pac-Man costume, he maintains to not having a voice over like Smash 4, but having Namco's classic games sound effects instead.
Pac-Man ranks the 58th place of the 103rd in the tier list, putting him at the high tier classment (B), behind Mega Man and after Falco. This is a vast improvement for Pac-Man being a low tier character in Smash 4.
Pac-Man is being well-known to be the one that has a crazy stage control for his advantegous gamestyle, also as a camping mechanic, in the tournaments, such as the placements for his popular Fire Hydrant and his Bonus Fruits as a snipping projectile. One of the biggest disapointments in Smash 4, which is his grab has improved duration on his frames, making his neutral game more safe.
However, Pac-Man has still some flaws: he's still pretty janky to play if you overplay with his special moves, causing him leading to death when a player doesn't have any knowledge about this character. Also, most of his projectiles are useless with characters that have reflectors such as Mario's Super Cape or Fox'es shine, etc.. But overall in his matchups, Pac-Man has high results against top tier character for his sucsessful mindgames when played well.
