PAC-MAN is a top 15 Character minimum, maybe even Top 10 if you want to be optimistic, and he's Ranked 23 on the 2nd official tier list. The only real reason he's not ranked Higher is just because you don't see him around all that much, he still has results, but just not to the same Level as Characters who are "above him" like Diddy Kong and Wario. Personally, that's the only change I would make to the tier list.
PAC-MAN has a one of the Best Disadvantage States in the Game, if your character can't deal with Hydrant they will lose the Match up, his Nair is a Frame 3 OOS move on top of it being Safe on shield, and his he can set up Walls that Rival Steve. Honestly, I want to talk about Hydrant more because this move Controls the Entire Matchup and it what allows him to charge up Bonus Fruit. But one thing that I will say is that in a vacuum, Bonus Fruit isn't Great, Mainly because most characters can't do PAC-MAN's game plan or camp like he does.
But Also, look at his Match ups against the Top 3 Characters (Steve, Sonic and Mr G&W) he goes even against Mr Game and Watch, Sonic is Slightly Favored (55:45), and also again I will admit to another Fault his Match Up against Steve is pretty Bad.
My Final Verdict, it should be been moved from #23 to #12 or #9.
