From what I understand, Falcon has many many ways of approaching Samus, and one of his more popular choices, shffl nair, directly counters missiles when timed right. That, coupled with his insane combo game makes for a difficult matchup.

I've noticed I have these problems when in a match: - I seem to give up center stage easily, and I can't seem to retake it very easily. - My opponents learn to stuff my approaches after 2-3 games, particularly with Marth/Sheik fair, Peach nair, or Spacies bair. - I seem to "forget" how to...

They're usually safe, just make sure your opponant isn't actively putting out hitboxes on the ledge.

Can anyone tell me/show me how to replicate the chaingrab on spacies at 0%? I keep hearing that it's possible at any % below 100, but I've been trying for the past 15 minutes or so, and I can only regrab no DI and slight behind DI. It just seems like Pikachu won't start running fast enough to...

What do you guys think about a Pikachu/Sheik team?

Thanks for the replies guys, I really need to apply my potential for mindgames to my Pikachu, since I'm fairly good at that sort of thing when I play Marth/CSGO/League.

Hey everyone, my neutral game is looking really stale, and I know there's gotta be something I could do to electrify it. Seriously though, I feel like all I know is just dash-dancing -> SHFFL nairing, which I can do fairly well, but my opponants, especially ones that aren't mediocre wise up to...

Hey guys, I notice that when I play, my hands seem to shift across my controller throughout a match (the analog stick and buttons will usually end up below the base of my thumbs), which will usually result in me making very basic technical mistakes such as not being able to close out an offstage...

Well it was worth looking in to I guess. Maybe my friends just don't study Pikachu whatsoever lol. Good to know though.

I've been in the lab and it seems to me that a lot of floaties are really vulnerable to the dthrow -> usmash combo at certain percents. Downthrow has been traditionally used against fastfallers to start a techchase scenario on stages with platforms, but it seems that floaties will bounce up...

Here's a link to the Philadelphia Melee group on facebook. They have a list of events/tournaments that you can go to and improve your game. https://www.facebook.com/groups/108078502591099/

Generally the most efficient way to take down spacies is to outmaneuver them and find a way to get them offstage, since pikachu generally loses in a head-on fight. From there, use pikachu's great f-tilt to stop them from firefoxing back onstage, or shorthop -> nair to stop those pesky...

I'd like in on a skype group. My skype is jp.delaney117

I read a cool tip somewhere on the boards that say you should approch him diagonally, since he doesn't really have moves that cover that part of him (lasers, dair, and bair aren't really going to hit you). Bonus points if you get the cross-up nair.
