Fire Hydrant

Fire Hydrant, is 's down special move in Super Smash Flash 2.

Overview
When performed, PAC-MAN will summon a big red Fire Hydrant and throw it directly below him. Opponents hit by the Hydrant on the way down will be dealt 10% damage with decent knockback. Once on the ground, the Hydrant will then wait a moment before squirting out a burst of water on each side that pushes players away with a windbox. If a character stands on top of the Hydrant, then the water will instead be squirted out from the top. After squirting water twice, the Hydrant disappears. Players can also attack the Hydrant and knock it away with the final hit, making the Hydrant a projectile that deals 14% damage and strong knockback to any opponents who come in contact with it.

The Hydrant can also bounce off of the trampoline PAC-MAN summons with Pac-Jump, abiding by the same rules other characters do when bouncing from it.

Origin
The fire hydrant originates from a NAMCO arcade game known as PAC-LAND. In this game, fire hydrants appear on the ground in several stages as common obstacles PAC-MAN has to jump over. They act as a hazard that should he be pushed towards ghosts. Additionally, certain hydrants shoot water from them that pushes PAC-MAN away, much like they do in SSF2. Certain hydrants would also cause fruit to appear for bonus points if PAC-MAN hops on top of them, while others may give PAC-MAN a hat to protect him after pushing them.
