Pikachu is fine esam was just off of his game and it was apparent with the way he was just throwing out f-smashes constantly with almost no thought. Pika can do work and with customs on he becomes arguably the best character in the game.

Ness and Lucas are IMO two of the hardest matchups for Pika. Sheik, Diddy, Rosa and Luigi don't really bother me near as much.

I've been playing him for awhile and it seems like the next step in leveling up my game so I'm going for it.

Started trying it out but my main concern in not being able to utilize quick smash attacks in neutral to end stocks. It's already hard enough as is to end stocks so I'm wondering if any other pikachus have had any success with the tilt stick on.

Pikachu received no changes but ledge mechanics changed making the way his QALC works different.

It was definitely the ledge mechanics esam put up a video showcasing it.

It's annoying how much I go into free fall now when trying to ledge cancel quick attack :/

Esam said that QAC is buffed on slopes so it's not all bad

I misunderstood sorry about that

That's odd I feel like I have to start from a further distance to cancel now. I'll check it out.

It's because you interact with platforms/ledges differently. My friend can't thunder slide off of platforms as ness anymore either. Thankfully it's not completely gone for us just harder (unless you are Esam)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWCH8T5zf_8 As you can see in the first half of the video you interact with the platform differently. You kind of slide off and dip down, and the angle you cancel with is much more forgiving. In the second half this is not the case making some angles much...

I have video of why it's different now. Stay tuned and I will make a thread soon

If you ever quick attack canceled on platforms frequently before the patch it's obvious. The angles are slightly different than they used to be but its still there.
