so berkeley? LOL

 

[oukd]

yeah that would make sense <_<

depends on what my parents decide on though

 

[soju]

There will be reforms soon.

 

[Kimimaru]

Axe do you (or any other Pikachu players going) wanna play some friendlies at the NCR?

Axe do you (or any other Pikachu players going) wanna play some friendlies at the NCR?

who do you play as? i might go depending on my work schedule

 

[Kimimaru]

I play Yoshi so it'll be easy to differentiate me from the rest if you find me playing.

Tip of the Day:Jiggs will die from a nair->usmash combo at 30% on yoshis

 

[oukd]

going a little more in-depth

jiggs dies from fresh usmash at 42, fully staled usmash at 54
strong nair does 12 on fresh, 6 on stale
weak nair does 9 on fresh, 4 on stale

so yeah strong nair > usmash on fresh will kill from 30
if you hit with weak nair you can still kill from 33

speaking of percentages i might as well throw this up. back in the day i was getting tired of cc's so i wrote down some percentages to keep in mind

cc %'s (fully staled moves)

jiggs -61 strong nair, 101 weak nair, 27 rising uair
fox - 69 strong nair, 111 weak nair, 30 rising uair
falco -70 strong nair, 112 weak nair, 31 rising uair
marth -73 strong nair, 118 weak nair, 31 rising uair
peach -74 strong nair, 120 weak nair, 32 rising uair
cf -80 strong nair, 130 weak nair, 35 rising uair

based on this cc vs nair is stupid good
thank god for uair/dsmash

 

[soju]

coolio, also i was emailing my boss at work and realized my email account has a picture of a pikachu... sorta not professional so i hope she doesnt care xD

 

[Captain Smuckers]

I'm sure she'll understand.




if she doesn't....quit.

 

[FourStar]

LOL oh god that's gonna be hella weird playing a yoshi

 

[oukd]

Really? i always play falco, fox, c. Falcon, and marth but never have i played yoshi. i've played a kirby before i've played a yoshi

 

[oukd]

its because you live in cali



actually idk. its probably just a coincidence lol

 

[FourStar]

LOL yea in the bay area you never see any players using character under the B tier. so thts why it helps for me with my matchups since no one knows how to play a pikachu here

 

[soju]

I did see another Pikachu player aside from Axe (good games, by the way!). Was that you? I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to play friendlies.

Yea i wasn't playing and i did play friendlies! man where were you though?

 

[Kimimaru]

I went to eat after pools were done then was looking around for more friendlies to play. How early did you leave? I know that a lot of people left after singles were done.

Not sure but all i know is got to play a couple foxes and falcos and i won twice lol. but other than that i didn't play much

 

[AXE 09]

Kimimaru your Yoshi is so good! Reminds me so much of Vman's playstyle

 

[Kimimaru]

Thanks! Your Pikachu is ridiculous and at times I felt like you were reading me like a book since you have so much Yoshi practice. I hope to become as proficient as you and Vman are at shield dropping, and I hope we get to play again sometime soon!

 

[FourStar]

HEY AXE! what games were you commentating cuz i heard commentated. i wasn't sure since i was there watching so yeah. oh and great job at the tournament!

 

[oukd]

dat 69 digits of pi
not sure if im ok with that <_<



axe do you know if your set with ppu or zhu were recorded?

 

[Strong Badam]

his set with ppu was for sure

 

[AXE 09]

I commentated on a handfull of HMW's matches, including him vs Silent Wolf, Tafokints, and Fly.
And also Hbox vs Fly. And a small part of 1 doubles match with OkamiBW lol.

That was my first time ever commentating so idk if anyone liked it or not, but it was fun! I would actuually like to do it more lol.

And yes, me vs Zhu (both in the winner's and loser's bracket) were recorded, as well as me vs PPU. I got ***** haha

 

[V3ctorMan]

<3 wooot Kimimaru!! yeah man, Yoshi, do it!!! <3 the rep man, Axe loves your yoshi, and I'm hype to see... Keep up the great work man!


Axe, I told you my Pikachu was better!!

salem's pika on 2nd game hmmm
i hope salem keeps playing melee

 

[FourStar]

i honestly see salem being a top pro in the next year or so

 

[oukd]

considering he won apex 2013 brawl singles i wouldnt be surprised either lol

 

[FourStar]

Hey axe you know that up throw chain grab you do? any tips on how to do it cuz i'm having trouble

 

[oukd]

im not axe but

dash asap out of throw, but don't dash so early that you end up walking

jc your grabs (press y or up, and then z immediately after)

sometimes you'll need to dd turnaround grab vs slight di if you dash early

and practice
