Ally won the tournament though, with two 3-1 sets in GF.

I still think this MU is bad for Pika, but there wasn't a single area (advantaged, disadvantaged, or neutral) where Pika was noticeably outclassed. Even aside from the incredible psychological exploitation on display from both players, it looked like both characters just ruin each other's days.

I'm tempted to call it 65:55 Mario.

Was this prepatch or postpatch

Looks like prepatch...postpatch, Pikachu's ENORMOUS buffs probably means that these MUs are in his favor or even...

Indeed, WRT Mario I was actually speaking as of 1.1.0. It's hard to imagine how the MU could still be bad at all in 1.1.1. In fact, I can't see Pika falling anywhere but top tier now, and I'm definitely no longer looking for a secondary.

(Though funnily, it looks like ESAM has a rough weekend ahead...he forecasts to play 2 good Luigis in his Phase 2 pool LOL.)

I think Pika beats Luigi now in 1.1.1
even with Mario, Ness, Fox...

loses to new MK and Ike possibly
but that's all, wins or ties everyone else

I don't think I really main Pikachu any more, but I'll always have him as a pocket because of experience.

I think you've changed mains enough times that nothing you say anymore surprises me.

I've changed secondaries a lot, first time I've changed my main though

Didn't you try maining Fox at least? IDK maybe I just don't remember correctly.

I co-mained Fox and Pikachu, and it turned out my Fox was just as good as my Pikachu, but then his jab got nerfed (well, buffed in some MUs), and that was the main reason I was playing him (since with the jab infinite he wrecked characters like Ike)

I see. Well in that case I see what you mean; ZSS/Diddy is a much greater departure.

I've secondaried just about every good character so far though (exception: Villager). Just haven't devoted main time to anyone but Fox and Pika. Hbu, are you attending tourneys

No, although I live near some good competition. Grad school is keeping me fairly busy.

What do you study?

Experimental psychology; my interests currently lie in the auditory processing area.
