Control F, Uair Edgeguard.
Then watch the video and skip to it.

Even when sweetspotted, it WILL NOT be a punishable spike.

 

[SilverSpark]

Has anyone found a new trick, lately?

I don't have my wii at the moment - or else there would definitely be more tricks by now ^_^

 

[5ive]

Look at the past posts.
I found some

 

[iRjOn]

Well that was interesting wonder if dtilt can spike?

 

[M15t3R E]

D-tilt cannot spike but u-air can serve as a low knockback semi-spike. Pikachu can't truly spike but is still one of the best edgeguarders in the game if you know how to use that thunder.

 

[iRjOn]

lol yea hmm i wanna utilize the semi spike hmmm i'll practice it l8r...

But thats incredibly helpful! If done correctly that can lead to gimps.

Also nair = epic pika edgeguard as well.

 

[5ive]

Its too weak. It can only gimp against bad recoveries like Link or Ike, but that's a stretch.

Trust me, it just doesn't work <_<.

Ok.. I almost never visit the pika forums,,
So this might be veeeeery old;

Pikachus jab lock -> thunder is too good!
I recently found it out in training mode =_=

 

[!Boom!]

Old, but i dont think it is posted in this thread. Thanks for the reminder!

I tried AAA combo edgeguard against a MK. Only got like 3 hits, and then after that I got an upB to the face. Moral of the story : Don't do it against MK.

I've never tried AAA combo to thunder b4.

 

[!Boom!]

I just realized many attacks can stage spike if the opponent is hanging or near the edge. Many attacks that you wouldnt realize would spike. Test stuff out everyone.

 

[5ive]

Where did all these new people come from?
<_<

 

[Zylar]

Boom, I think that has more to do with the stage than the actual attack, although I do agree as I've experienced that myself.

I agree, but these stages are the stages that can benefit pikachu the most. I experienced stage spikes in Final Destination, Smashville, and Battlefield. What i found most wondrous is that i also experienced stage spikes in Corneria, the best stage for pikachu, and Luigi's mansion, his worst stage, but can give him a very slight plus in this stage.

But stage spiking is very situational, so meh...

 

[o0gosu0o]

wow some of these tricks are amazing, some of them are... meh

Me like alot ^^. So which of his moves can do this stage spike? I'd guess thunder, dsmash and fsmash. I cannot play smash until Sunday... T-T

Maybe the thing that all these stages have in common is that they edge slopes backwards.

Like this :
_
/

Or something like that.

 

[!Boom!]

I need to test more, but i forgot some of the attacks that spike. One spike that i found rather odd was a SH bair landing next to the edge and a utilt right above the edge. The dair also stage spikes, but on a specific frame.

 

[iRjOn]

Dsmash is the easy one...

Also thunder spikes...

Goodness, this accounts for many of Pika's moves.

Geez, we may need to test if the lower aimed ftilt spikes! O-o

 

[iRjOn]

ftilt has too little range to matter >_>

 

[Tagxy]

It has decent priority, not what it used to be though.

 

[Tornadith]

I don't know if this one has already been said but here I go

Quick-Stomping

1. Jump up with pikachu into the air and then get to a point so that if you quick attack downwards, it will cancel into the ground.
2. Cancel quick-attack into the ground.
3. While doing this, hold down on the directional stick down the entire time.
4. Then, when ending, hit A so that you do a Dair into the ground while coming out of the quick-attack.
NOTE: Can be done diagonally into the ground.
(Sorry no video)

 

[SilverSpark]

Hey, guys. Sorry that I've been gone for awhile (i've been studying for Finals). Anyway, I'll update the list.

 

[!Boom!]

SS your alive! I missed you!

!Boom! <3 SilverSpark

Yeah, that is very much known.
I'm fairly sure that's already on the list. Isn't it, Spark?
Btw, welcome back Spark

 

[SilverSpark]

thanks, Boom & Mister E ^_^

btw, this is QA > D-air

and...I found a new technique - I'll be putting it up in a bit

 

[!Boom!]

SS, K2 and 5ive want to clean the board, so if you really think this technique or trick is 100% legit, post a new thread. If you arent entirely sure, post it here and check if its already known or what...lol

 

[SilverSpark]

nah, im just going to put it in here. I'd rather have people discuss techniques in here, anyway.

 

[!Boom!]

well what are you waiting for! post it!

EDIT: Is it thunderpushing? If it is, it has already been discussed as a general "trick" instead just exclusively for pika.

 

[SilverSpark]

already did lulz



I'll go find some more techniques...

Edit: I found something...

 

[!Boom!]

I dont think its that easy to find a new pika technique in...what?....15 minutes?

 

[SilverSpark]

err... I found another one...

It's not that interesting, and definitely not useful, but good for someone who just wants to know that it's out there.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

wb spark. nice to see you again :D

 

[SilverSpark]

thanks, stealth~

I'll find you guys some more techniques as a Christmas present. ^_^

 

[KayLo!]

Lol, Spark, you love finding tricks don't you?

I've been messing around with doing rising thunders and trying to see how useful they are.... especially on stages with platforms.

I'm also trying to see if I can get a sliding thunder w/ T2. I could swear on my future grave that I did it once in training mode when I was testing different button configs, but I haven't been able to recreate it since.

If I find anything, I'll let you know.

 

[!Boom!]

Wow spark. Im really implementing spark, fly and rainbow ball into my playstyle. Really good stuff...

 

[Zylar]

SPARK!!!!
<3 Fly. Now all pika needs is to learn Surf.

You're so awesome man.

 

[Muhznit]

Pikachu already knows Dive. (Jump out of water and quick attack underneath it at the same time) I'm surprised it's not up there.

I think I named a move Spark in my moveset discussion thread anyways. <_<
