Pikachu is all about strings. To play effectively you want to land 3 hits for every hit you take (since he dies early and does low damage per hit), So use your mobility and small size to dance around and chase your opponent. Many attacks link very well. Utilt, utilt, utult, (jump) uair, (jump)...

Woah now, loads of people are being total douches in this thread. This tutorial is clearly meant for people who don't play videogames. Notice how they are all in their 30s at least. Not everybody grew up with game pads.

Oh I see, sounds pretty useful. Will need to practice

Hold on, how can you up smash after you jump?

So we all know D3 has some tough MUs. In particular rosalina, ZSS, duck hunt, regular samus, yoshi, diddy, link and megaman. Really, D3 struggles with any character that has a strong camping or projectile game. It's bad enough that I feel D3 mains really require a strong secondary to take care...

I don't know about that, I saw someone get 2nd place in a tournament vs Denti with only little mac. We truly don't know any character's skill ceiling yet.

You can actually combo from dthrow to bair at low-medium if you buffer a turn in between the moves. The timing is pretty tight so it would work better on wii u without lag. Bair will knowck them futher and autocancels so they have much worse follow up potential. At mid percents uthrow can move...

Some extra points on Robin, i just played about 20 games vs a fairly good one: You can duck under all of his thunder attacks, with the possible exception of arcthunder (I got hit a couple times by ducking that but it also passed over me some times so I'm not sure). This includes thoron! Also...

Seriously though zss can just stand mid stage and spam paralyzer, forcing you to approach - and thats where it gets ugly. Has anyone worked out some approaching strats?

D3 seems hopelessly outmatched by ZSS. Her paralyzer and tether grab make approaching/defending on the ground near impossible. Her fast and powerful aerials make air approaches tough. Her fast projectiles and ground attacks make gordo pressure dangerous. What options do we have? I've had some...

Let them come to you. You can space them out with ftilt pokes, and when they rush in you can sheild to grab. Retreating pivot grabs are nice too with the extra range.

From what I can tell, dthrow true combos into bair even at medium %. This is a much better option than fair because you dont get landing lag and it has higher knockback. Fair can leave you open to counterattack.
