Just an idea/buff for Pac's grab

[JohanVonBronx]

I was reading more arguments about Pac's grab and how well shield works against him and I was thinking, what if they just completely changed his grab?
I was thinking of a grab similar to something like the fire emblem characters, where grab is an option but you pretty much never have to worry about dying to a kill throw. (other than marths u-throw)
Would giving Pac a fast but weak grab (meaning no more killing b-throw) be too good?
It'd probably give more options for comboing into our other tools, or just comboing into more of his fast aerials, and possibly being really effective.
i.e. I will sometimes tumble hydrant and back throw the opponent into it, I can do that
with his current grab, doing that with a faster grab may be too good.
Any ideas?

Losing backthrow as a kill options would hurt, but the benefit from having a normal grab + the chance of grab rewards like follow ups far exceeds it. PAC-MAN has a plathora of kill options and traps but no real setups outside things like fair to key. but because shield is soo good agiasnt pac, eliminatting that threat with constant grab pressure would make him much better

A regular grab is unrealistic, but Pac would appreciate getting his deadzones removed.

More than anything else he'd benefit from getting an actual reward for landing the worst grab in the game.
