I am a pika main in p:m, brawl and melee. And pika in p:m isn't up to par with the other characters in the game. Instead of JUST complaining, I'm going to suggest how to buff our favorite rat.
Stuff we MUST agree on before I start
-pika isn't perfect and I am not a noob for asking the pmbr to make him decent
-Pika has little to no Combo potential
So I'm just going to go through the move set and suggest changes
Jab
Now- useless
Suggestion- dash cancellable? Jab combo? Just decrease the lag?
F-tilt
Now- limited
Suggestion- in brawl there was weird knock back at low percents where the enemy would end up behind you, have this move's knock back be towards pika so it can be chained to dashing grab.
U-tilt
Now- good
Suggestion- at around 100-110 percent, in brawl, this move would combo to thunder. Restore this.
D-tilt
Now- perfect
Dsmash
Now-good
Suggestions- have the knock back as straight up on the final hit?
Fsmash
Now- decent
Suggestions- less start-up
Usmash
DON'T YOU DARE CHANGE THIS MOVE!
Dair
Now- less useful
Suggestions- MAKE THIS A METEOR! Please give the character with amazing Ariel edge-guarding a meteor/ spike! Please.
Bair
Now- perfect
Uair
Now- perfect
Nair
Now- extremely good
Suggestions- the brawl animation looks bigger, but has a troll hitbox. Change to brawl animation, increase hit box.
Fair
Now- this needs to be changed
Suggestions- make this like Bair with 2 less damage, but a little more range. Knock back like ivysaur's Fair.
This one needs to happen!
Neutral B
Now- perfect
Down B
Now- good
Suggestions- heavy armor when thunder hits pika.
Up B
Now- very good
Suggestions- have pika's hurtbox where he actually is.
Side B
Now- hopeless
Suggestions- this move is hopeless, please change it. I got nothing for this
Grabs
Uthrow
Now- perfect
Dthrow
Now- perfect
Bthrow
Now- only used for LOLz
Suggestions- lots more knock back. Make this a kill throw.
Fthrow
Now- bad
Suggestions- less knock back. Make it good for comboing.
Stats
Walk speed- good
Dash speed- make pika faster so he can capitalize on mistakes
Weight- perfect
Size- make pika smaller. If you look at him in the anime he fits on ash's shoulder. Make his size 2/3 of what it is noe to be more accurate to his anime size.
FALLSPEED- THE AWEFULLEST TERRIBLE EVER!
Make him fall in-between his brawl fallspeed and his p:m fall speed, right now he is easily combo'd and ko'd. This change, like Fair and Dair is essential.
Well that's what I think, but what do you think? Tell me in the comments.
And to the morons who will call me a noob for this.... What was happening on the pika boards before this,and do you really want pika to remain mediocre?
To the PMBR, keep up the great work, you guys are awesome. Don' t implement every change, or you might end up with 2.5 Sonic. But if you implement most change you will have a balanced character.
I personally think pika's at about D-E
