    Meta Pikachu Metagame Discussion

    From beating arguably the best Marth in Texas, I can tell you tjolt spam can definitely work. Tjolt spam and not falling for QA baits made it nearly impossible for him to get anything started. He was having to shield or jump so often I definitely felt in control since he was almost always on the...

    Pikachu kill options and setups

    Something worth noting...dthrow to thunder works if they DI into pika. This works as a nice mixup near the ledge, since a lot of people DI towards the stage when being thrown . Here I would actually recommend throwing in a few pummels to give them time to DI. What was explained above with OoS...

    Help a Pika out

    I want to be the very best.... I have a few tourney matches recorded, and could use some help. Other than being thirsty for kills against the fox, and being too scared to go off stage against falcon, what can I do better in regards to fundamentals? https://youtu.be/yQWXfbUb5Is...

    Pokémon Channel: Pikachu Video Archives and Critque Thread

    Plz halp with my scrubbiness. I don't know why I wasn't chasing that falcon off stage, it would have been so free ._. I was scared I guess. I also hate fighting Ness. Thannnnnks Edit: please pardon the commentary, lol http://youtu.be/yQWXfbUb5Is http://youtu.be/rauR09-zKF4...

    Specific Characters Match-up: Pikachu vs Fox

    I regularly practice with a high level Fox player, and have learned quite a few things. Fox being such a fast faller sounds like easy combo food, but it's not all fun and games. Because of this fall speed, certain setups simply will not work against a competent Fox player. QA>utilt will be...

    Ways to edge-guard?

    It's incredibly matchup dependent, but you essentially throw yourself out there and go deep, since pika probably has the best recovery. Some characters recovering low can simply be tortured by tjolt until you force an unsafe up-b above the ledge, if not death. Some recover high so you can bait...

    Bair -> stage spike is not a gimmick. Here is a deadly mixup

    To add another layer to this, if you opt for the tech mixup, I like to throw in a double jump Thunder. I've gotten quite a few really awesome thunder spikes and stage spikes from people thinking they've escaped the danger only to get styled on ;) All and all a realllllly good way to finish...

    Specific Characters Match-up: Pikachu vs Ness

    Ness really doesn't have an answer for proper QA pressure. So long as you don't get too predictable and run into PK fire or nair, you're golden. This can knock him up in the air, which really is the name of the game; the optimal punishes are ones that put him in the air or off the stage. He...
