after playing brawl/ all of my attempts to use melee pika were horrible.

Im right there with you Philly. I cant even freaking jump anymore in melee. I would have to go through a melee bootcamp to get my skills back at that game.

Also, if you approach with forward air in brawl, you're doing it wrong. Start learning pika's quick attack tricks.

Quick attack tricks? What you mean like the QAC? That doesn't really help...

It should take two minuets in training mode to restore your skillz.
Quick attack tricks for approaching? are you talking about QAC? Can you elaborate.

I can't make it to that because I'm going to the Florida one a month later. >_> Unless for some reason that one doesn't work out, then I'll go.

Holy cow, am I the only one who tried to play melee again only to do a QA into the ground and be knocked senseless? Or skullbash back to the stage/edge only to SD or be punished. And I can't for the life of me remember what my strategies were. I feel slightly saddened that I'm now terrible at sweetspotting after I used to have some finely honed sweetspotting skills.

My opinion on brawl vs melee pika. If you don't QAC, you'll probably like melee pikachu better. If you do QAC and become proficient, you'll like brawl pikachu better. I love melee pika but his attacks and overall movement feel slow to me now, even if melee is overall faster it doesnt feel that way with pika. Plus his tilts are godly I'm just finding out.

I QAC and I still like Melee better. I like the quick attack better in Melee, seeing how long you can go without touching the ground or dying on jungle japes is too much fun. :D

Hey N64, are you going to GA? I might be able to make it down there.

Glad to hear you hate Brawl, real men play Melee.

Real men have played Melee for so long that they learn a new game that then gets boring so they go back to melee.

Yes. Also, if Melee ever got boring for you, Ziggy mc Zaglson, then you did it wrong. Melee has room for improvement. Brawl has room to ftilt...harder? Really isn't much to keep my interest, I'd rather learn cool **** in Melee then perfect my ftilt spacing with Snake in Brawl.

Edit: But different strokes for different folks. If you like Brawl play it.

Being able to QAC and QACing proficiently are two different things.

Clearly you don't know much about brawl. Real men will play whatever they want and both games are cool so gtfo with your instigative comments please don't bring that debate to the pika boards.

Comparing pika abilities on a pika board is different from trying to instigate hate for an entire game. I didn't think it would take rocket science to figure out :/ .

Real men hate Brawl, but take advantage of the fact you don't have to practice (at the moment) to get some money from it.

That doesnt make any sense, wouldnt that mean you're less likely to make money if everyone can be good? Clearly you don't know what your talking about, again stop trying to bring that stuff to the pika board. My point being it's pretty pathetic that others who have no reason to come to the pika board are posting just to say brawl sucks. Keep it in one of the other hundred mindless debate threads in the forums dedicated to it.

N64 if you can read this, get on AIM.

Also hi everybody, pikachu is SOOOOOOO awesome. Hating on brawl is really fun though, don't mention brawl at all and nobody will talk about it. However as soon as brawl is mentioned I will usually lay down some hate, just for ****s and giggles.

You right I don't know what I am talking about I am terrible in both smash games. =( I will say you don't need much game knoweledge or tech skill. So that leaves mindgames which....transfers from other games.

i wouldn't say you don't need game knowledge. Like, you need to know that metaknights glide attack is unpunishable if used close to the ground :-P

But I spent 2 years practicing in Melee and I still suck
on the flipside, I spent 2 months learning matchups up in Brawl and I'm top 5 in Alabama or something?

I play normal Pikachu. The hats look kinda dumb.

Now if it had a Light Ball and thus double Special Attack... or possibly a Shell Bell to recover one eighth of damage given... hmmm...

I don't ever remember them being very active... heck, even the Brawl Pika boards are pretty dead. I guess nobody wants to play as him anymore. :(

well they were more active than they are now. and as far as playing pika...i still main him and i'm better with him than any other characters, but i've really been starting to feel his limitations. i mean...he's such a crappy character(as far as melee goes)!

There is no ninja headband Pikachu, unless we're speaking of that game that shouldn't be spoken of on these boards.

We don't take kindly to Brawl sympathizers here.
