Perfect pivoting is super useful for pika. I feel its nescessary at high level play since Pika is rewarded heavily off of tilts which is something dashing away wont let you do.

You have to buffer it otherwise it won't auto cancel.

You can watch almost any Pikachu game lol. I think Esam goes over in in part 1 of his guide.

Yeah dair is the better option but it they shield just keep doing it lol. Also you can jab out of fair and gimp at low %s.

Just do your regular auto canceled fairs and when one hits fast fall it. they you can go for a grab, tilt, or upsmash. the closer your are to the ground when the next fair hitbox comes out the more frames you get.

I was playing friendlies on Anthers last night and I found that jab is a really good option for punishing neutral get up. Your opponent will be in hitstun for a while after sliding off the ledge. This gives enough time to run off and get a Back-air. This is effective at any percent, but it can...

Does anyone else find that the Pika board is empty? Was it always like this or did everyone drop him or go to discord?

Use the a button right after bumping its a lot easier and faster then the c stick.

Fair fastfall follow ups are good to learn since thats your biggest combo starter because it can lead into tilts up smashes and grabs. Pikachu gains a lot from grabs especially around 20% with Dthrow, you can combo up air into Fair out of it then fastfall the fair for another grab. Practice...

Watch out for grabs. Megaman has a fall speed thats combo food for Pika. Wall him out with disjoints, you shouldn't approach unless you're being camped out. The most I can say is just general knowledge.

Personally I think Rosalina is the best option for a secondary. I say this lots but she destroys Ness and does well vs Mario.

3 important things I should state 1. Pikachu is a male 2. When discussing a move show it being used and not gameplay 3. You missed a lot of necessary tech

I'd like to mention that our Matchup list is lacking. It was last updated on October 15th and doesnt even have Ryu added to it.

With Marios upsmash and fast ariels he forces you to play neutral. This matchup becomes mostly fundamentals and footsies which isn't what pikachu excels at. Dtilt will be you best option, as well as baiting with retreating arials. With this being said you still want to be under him at all times...
