Pac-Man General Discussion Thread

Curious how both versions of Pac-Man have the same feat of turning into a planet. (well, almost the same)

Anyway, regarding what was being discussed a few months ago, I agree with Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde getting their own profile each and the "Ghosts" profile getting reworked into a Team Profile.

Do they all really show any actual significant performance by themselves completely separate?

Yes, even in the very first game they were not carbon copies of each other: with examples like Blinky being the only one who has Passive Statistics Amplification, or Clyde being the only one who's programmed to actually avoid killing you.
-in Pac-Man Arrangement, they each have their own ability/transformation from their fusion with the yellow ghost.
-in Pac-Man World 2, they're each fought separately at the ends of their respective worlds, with Clyde piloting a giant robot frog, Pinky piloting an ice mech that can freeze Pac-Man, etc.
-in Pac-Man World 3, Blinky and Pinky are playable in some sections. Blinky can spam destructive soundwaves and fire a massive sonic blast, while Pinky's ability is to create platforms (by causing spectral platforms to become corporeal) for Pac-Man to use.
-in Pac-Man Monsters, they all have different elements and statistics
-finally, they have different personalities and standard tactics. Blinky (the most aggressive and blood-lusted one) doesn't act the same as Clyde (the stupid and passive one) in a fight.
 
Noticed that Mollusc is listed on the verse page. Can he really get a profile when he only has around 1 minute of screen time? (And he's not even fought in gameplay)

Well, apparently unknown stats are allowed in some cases and he does have spacetime powers according to the wiki. I am not familiar enough with the Pac-Man franchise to say whether he is worth making a profile or not though.
 
Any evidence of Dig Dug being canon to the Pac-Man series?

Pooka appears in Pac man world 1 & 2, and Fygar and Mr. Driller appear in Pac man world rally is the biggest evidence I see. That may not mean they are canon, but they have at least had crossovers.
 
At least that'll place Spooky around the same tier as others instead of simply scaling to his own feats, but clearly upscales from nearly all of them (except Pac-Man who can fight him when powered up with the Golden Fruits, and maybe Erwin with preparation/ED).

Might take a look later to see stuff that can be used to wank the verse

I took a look at it, the most important stuff is:
  1. The KE generated by Pac-Man´s Reality Warping being calculated at 5-A
  2. Pac having some Relativistic to MFTL+ feats
  3. Ms Pac-Man supposedly having a Country level feat
  4. Professor Pac-Man "having" a MFTL+ feat
  5. Toc-Man´s MFTL+ feat
  6. Dig Dug Scaling lmao
  7. Hanna Barbera´s Pac-Man Power pallets being Small Country due to f#cking Santa Claus
  8. Universal Pac-Man.....
  9. Erwin´s MFTL+ feat
  10. Pac-Land being a country
My thoughts about these are:
  1. Can´t give my thoughts about the 5-A calc due to i knowing pretty much nothing about KE (lol), but it looks good ig
  2. Ngl, the biggest part of the Relativistic to MFTL+ feats looks not usable in any way, although a few of them might be fine, however, we may be entering on Uncle Outlier´s territory with them, so it´s better we get more proof
  3. The Ms Pac-Man feat looks weird tbh, i admit that i never played this game, but there is any proof that the villain was acutally being empowered by the gems?
  4. Dig Dug scaling is a big no-go for me due to obvious reasons, the evidence presented consists of a crossover and an enemy appearing in both games, which, honestly, is very weak
  5. Hanna Barbera´s Pac-Man scaling looks acceptable i think
  6. I really have no opinion about Universal Pac-Man, but if you guys are crazy enough to try it i will support
  7. Pac-Land being a country looks ok in my view
Afterall, although i disagree with some of the stuff presented, i admit that i liked the blog, it´s pretty well done and researched, congratulations to who made it
 
Cartoon Pac-Man is a whole different continuity, as it shouldn't be used for the canon Pac-Man page and honestly deserves it's own page
 
I've read through the blog, here's my thoughts so far:
  • 5-A through KE makes sense, since it's consistent with other KE calcs that involve moving planets in a similar way.
  • MFTL+ through the King Galaxian and Asteroid Antic levels may sound a bit ambiguous, but I'm leaning towards supporting it, since those levels do show Pac-Man moving past planetoids, stars and nebulae.
  • Professor Pac-Man's speed feat doesn't seem usable, as it just shows him going offscreen with no indication of how fast he got back home. Toc-Man's feat has the same problem.
  • Currently, the Tier 2 feat is treated as Environmental Destruction on Erwin's profile. Re-reading the dialogue, Tier 2 durability for Erwin's giant mechas seems to be implied, but consider that it could just apply to Erwin's forcefields specifically (which Pac-Man isn't able to damage)
  • Pac-Land being a country is legit.

Kaiser shared this character analysis blog to me on Discord a while ago, and I'll say, it's quite impressive. (though I don't think we should go for Universal Pac right away)

Here are my two cents on this.

(Gonna ignore Ghostly Adventures and Hanna Barbera as they're clearly not canon to the mainstream games)

  • Pac's two MFTL+ feats do stand out, but the problem is the second MFTL+ feat doesn't really give a supporting calc as well which was bothering me. I can't really say the same for the Professor as he doesn't really provide any timeframe at all. The Toc-Man one is also making the same exact mistake as well.
  • The evidence between Pac-Man and the Dig Dug universes doesn't really seem that strong enough for them to be cross-scaled to each other.
  • Can't really say much for the Tier 2 scaling, but we already have that as Environmental Destruction for Erwin, so eh.
  • 5-A through KE does check out though.
  • Pac-Land being considered a country is fine.

I'm aware of that, but as stated, I'm not honestly a calculator-type (the reason why others' are allowed).
