Yeah, I switched over a few months ago when I realized that I practiced Palu more and still won more w/ Pika.

Oh right and I tried to make Falco work about a month or two back...he's fun, but just not that good IMO.

I agree, Falco is bad. You probably need a secondary for the Mario Bros, though, if you're using Pikachu.

I see you've got MK listed now. He might be your best bet for beating the characters Pika is *supposed* to beat. (In that sense, Shaya was right about MK occupying Pika's "niche," even though the two characters play very differently.) If you pair him with Sonic, you could possibly have even-or-better MUs against all relevant characters (not sure about Bayo).

Sorry for posting this 3 times. Edit option please!

I think they both lose to Fox (slightly).

Regardless... I'm thinking of maining Cloud and finding a co-main to cover his bad matchups. I have no idea what they are yet though.

Oh right, Fox, I suppose he could be a problem.

I don't think Cloud will have very many bad MUs. He seems to do well enough against Sheik/ZSS/Rosa. But other than that? ...

Hey, I bet Pika wins by gimping him! Kappa

ESAM vs. m2k did come down to a jab gimp which was hilarious

But, more importantly, everyone gimps Cloud. Don't think it's enough to gimp him to beat what is probably the best neutral in the game.

Cloud might ironically lose to characters with more range particularly against his n-air, for instance Ike.
