TheDevicer: Just had a practice session of about 30 minutes of QAC. Here's a quick compilation of what came out of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc51_DzvNgY

Contains uAir and platforms... I am starting to believe Pikachu really loves Battlefield.

Here's a best of 7 I had today with a good friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5jPQZmdb10



RoanYagyu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rZaWv9ojHs

Just to show basic stuff, Ill make a better one once I get more used to QACing. Also this shows what I meant by you can QAC lower than you were, though its a bit tricky

Can I get some critique on my Pikachu?

Captain L: The quick attack thing I was talking about can be seen at parts of the stream linked right below

http://www.twitch.tv/dazee_/b/337132969

Starting at 7:50, the match on dracula's is a great example of ways to practically use it to win actual matches.

here's a set that shows how chu dat takes on zelda, peach, and sheik.

 

[B.W.]

So we've got nothin for 2.5 eh? That's a shame.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Yeah, it is a shame. Most people are focusing on either the newly released characters, characters not in Melee, or the high tiers from Melee...

 

[B.W.]

Well I'm back on the job.

Also there are some videos of Axe in 2.5 at Apex I think it is. I'll nab them when I get home unless someone else wants to do it first.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Alright then, sounds good. I'm looking forward to posting them in the OP. :D

Welcome back! I'm glad to have a good active Pika around here~

 

[sheNanagans]

I have a bunch of Pikachu videos from my twitch against several different characters.
Seeing as there is almost nothing here i feel I should post what I have.

[Sapphire Dragon]

Mmm, so what version was it then? I can't remember

 

[dRevan64]

3 months ago, looks like 2.6.

 

[Paradoxium]

I have some footage of me playing over wifi if anyone is interested, mind you I got 1st place so I'm not that terrible

lol Disqo with "He wins everything! Shut the f**k up!"

Really impressed with how Axe handled Kaos's Mewtwo. It's such a hard MU.

 

[Scatz]

How I fight Kirby? ;-; Anyways, learning Pika for a few weeks, and got some matches recorded to pinpoint some issues. Video is sped up a little due to recorder issues.

Pika vs Falcon

http://www.twitch.tv/shenanagans_/c/5261814

Here's from a recent local tournament. I should be streaming our locals on Wednesdays (including tomorrow). Ill probably get the Pika on stream

 

[Scatz]

Lots of matches recorded last week. I got some really good training in with the crew in a boss rush type manner (weakest to strongest player). Feel free to look and/or give some advice. Note: my Pika still has a lot to pick up on. I was playing quite sloppy in terms of punishes and movement, which I'm normally adjusted to doing quite well.

The links go from easiest to hardest. By the time I got towards the end, I was mentally exhausted (I played 36 sets total). So keep that in mind.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbcVt8WPgNg&t=9m50s Vs Ness (2 matches)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1fcWNOmvns&t=7m40s Vs Sheik (1 match)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjKPCcae3Tc&t=14m50s Vs Wario (2 matches)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGcPy0hfgxU&t=0m0s Vs Kirby (2 matches)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGcPy0hfgxU&t=31m0s Vs Mewtwo (1 match)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQR5U78ud6g&t=0m0s Vs DK (1 match)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQR5U78ud6g&t=12m40s Vs Link & Toonlink (2 matches)

This is only a fraction of the matches I played total. @_@ I have played at least 72 games in one sitting X_X

 

[Cubelarooso]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF8p0UsrSrI vs Lucas

 

[hype machine]

This was before axe started abusing QAC. Which will help because you can't really approach with QAC anymore
http://youtu.be/BUhb-jRByuc
Axe vs okami (shiek,ike,wolf)

 

[sheNanagans]

Still no 3.5 Pika here... Time to change that!

From a local tournament tonight

Vs Sonic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yoonDiirIA

Vs Falcon/Fox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq9JblqzTQ8

Vs Wario: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_7W8Gt-iYc

If anyone wants to give me some insight on wario and sonic I would be really thankful (I felt completely lost during the wario matchup until set 2)

 

[Choice Scarf]

Nice work! I think for Wario it's tricky in neutral to be more grounded so that you can shield the side B, but that leaves you vulnerable to his bite. It's probably worth doing that though since Wario's aerials and aerial mobility just makes him too beefy to stuff, so you looked better to bait out his side B and punish with shield grabs and OoS Up-smash. Wario's also weighty but floaty so it's best to kill off the top, meaning more Up smash instead of Bairs. Other than that, you did well spacing with Uair in all of your matches, and you can always work on the usual increases in sweetspot precision, reactions out of shield, and minimizing getting caught up in charging up smashes when the read opportunities have past.

 

[hype machine]

How can one record gameplay especially from a local tournoment?

 

[Scatz]

Use a dazzle + laptop​

 

[Scatz]

Some recent videos. My QAs into the edge is slacking for some reason, but overall, I'm happy with my progress with Pika. Thoughts always appreciated.

Vs Fatality [Friendlies] Skip 7:45 to 11:32

Vs Reflex [Pools] I got bopped so hard lol

Vs BoVeZ [Pools]

 

[Choice Scarf]

@ Scatz I think your second video is the same as your first...

And remember to let your control stick return to neutral just before grabbing the ledge - hold its direction too long and you don't grab.

 

[sheNanagans]

Looks like were gonna start streaming our locals more. Heres a few sets from last weekend (I go ZSS in a few games as I'm trying to learn her too)

Vs Ivysaur

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcLzB8cpvNI

Pls help me against ivy lol.

 

[DMG]

I will have some Pika vids from IaB, dunno when it will be up. I like Pikachu, mine is about 3 weeks old.

Edit: Sets are up. For most of these, I do not play Pikachu for the entire set but I start off with him/use him for 2 out of 3 games.

Spoiler

 

[Choice Scarf]

@ Anther vids just showed up on reddit from Shatter II. Yeah 3.6!

vs GLS | Yata! (Snake)

vs KZOO | Lordy (Ike) - Winner's Semis

vs OU | Freze (Donkey Kong) - Winner's Finals

vs KZOO | Dirtboy (Squirtle) @3:41 - Grand Finals

There's some weird "Bye" sound that keeps popping up every 10 seconds or so that's pretty annoying but otherwise holy crap those ledge grabs. The d-tilt and electric sfx buffs are putting in work here too.
