Dair and bair are your go-to moves for KOing. Nair is generally stale because you will be using it a lot on-stage, but otherwise nair bair and dair are similar in terms of damage and (therefore) knockback. Practical advantages for dair and bair in different situations are: 1) Dair puts out a...

Can you do the AI, or just the AIA? (as defined by schmoob)

Pikachu's chaingrab is one of the easier ones, but you can improve the percent window with tighter timing. It works on fox, falco, and falcon, and it's easiest on falcon and about the same on fox and falco, though a little harder imo on falco. On falcon, the chaingrab starts at 0%, and that's a...

Slight correction to above: You have to input airdodge between frames 3 and 4, meaning you press the button on 3, but the airdodge will execute on 4, as long as you are holding L or R. Polling for input happens between frames, so it's kind of hard to think of it as "input on frame x". I think...

I'll mention my biggest strength - edgeguarding spacies. The biggest thing is you don't angle your ftilts a lot of the time. That's huuuuuge cause you can cover higher side-b's with an upward angled forward tilt and the legendary DAFT can clip them if they go low to sweetspot. After that, you...

You can fully analog jump with tap jump - it's a fast input but you can reset to neutral and smash to the side within 2 frames. Like I said, I can do it fairly consistently after only practicing for a bit! I've been practicing the pivot upair and your method is really good for that. I'm not...

I didn't think about using it to approach, that does sound pretty good though... I don't think drifting while short-hopping (is that what you mean by analog jump?) is very important OOS, and it's still doable if you tap jump. I'll try the pivot approach though, that sounds dank. EDIT: Nevermind...

Okay so I've been practicing this and I realized that it's really really easy if you use the control stick to tap jump. Definitely gonna start using it as I play in the future!

Bair will auto-cancel if you start it on the 2nd or 3rd frame of a fullhop. 1st frame doesn't work due to reduced jump height glitch. It's not super hard to do, but there's not really a particular situation where it's better than your other aerials. You can't just jump around and bair like...

This does NOT work on every stage. You cannot do an AI onto the platforms on Yoshi's or Pokemon, and I'm not sure the side platforms on FoD are high enough. You could do it in theory on Yoshi's if you started below the ledge, off the stage, but you can't do it from on the stage except onto the...

The two classic drills are: 1) jump off the stage, QA up and then angle down to the ledge, repeat until consistent and then try it from different points below the ledge. your goal is always to be moving downward when you reach the ledge, so your first QA should send you above and farther away...

SH uair is amazing, but yeah it's pretty much impossible without claw grip. Definitely something I plan on using

Honestly I don't think the ICs matchup will ever be more developed, since Axe and Wobbles have played so much... but on the other hand part of me believes that Axe just can't resist playing aggro, and you just have to platform camp ICs like there's no tomorrow. I've decided for myself that I...

The chaingrab on spacies starts at around 30% - the 0% misconception comes from salty spacie mains who think pika is broken :p

A few things, in no particular order: 1) Your recovery could use work. You suicide a couple of times because you quick-attack without skull bashing. As a rule, if you are hit into the magnifying glass on the left or right of the screen, always start with a smashed side-b (in case you don't know...
