    Rate Their Chances - Smash Ultimate Edition! Day 672: Five Most Likely First and Third Parties for Smash 6, and Final Goodbyes

    Midna Chance: 5% Her time has passed. I reckon she'll come back as an assist trophy. She has only featured in 1 zelda game as well. Want: 15% Shes cool but I'll rather other characters. Nominations: Anna (Fire Emblem) x5

    Q&A Pikachu Q&A Thread (Ask a Quick Question, Get a Quick Answer)

    If they're always DIing and airdodging , at around 90%, you can double jump thunder in which the body of pikachu will hit the opponent. At higher percents the opponent will be too high for this and I'll recommend the RAR thunder in this situation. If you mess up the RAR thunder, the best option...

    :4sonic: Okay, to be honest I've been having some trouble with this matchup lately, but I'm slowly improving on it.

    ESAM's Pikachu Guide Discussion

    I've been practicing Up-throw to RAR using ESAM method mentioned in his video. Pulling it off successfully is one of the most satisfying things you can do as Pikachu imo. ESAM claims in his video its possible read the DI on reaction. However, reading the DI from the up-throw based on reaction is...

    Pikachu's Neutral Game

    QA ledge trumps are weird. I can do them sometimes and sometimes I just QA edge cancel instead. I just hold the joystick towards the ledge after a QA ledge cancel but sometimes it doesn't work (occasionally I SD if I'm only using the first part of QA). What are the exact inputs to perform QA...
