yes! shoot lasers out your face next time a sheik starts chain throwing you. In IN all you can do is just throw corn more nutritious than deadly so yeah.

Why would he be hard to use? He takes little tech skill his recovery is easy and solid. Really the hardest thing would be to chain throw. Mentally it's totally different you have process stuff and quickly react. When i'm pichu I use more mental skill than anyone esle other than the ice climbers which I just started thinking cause it is to much at times.
Really mix-up be unpredictable take combos seen, don't get grabbed, up-smash for kill, up-air for gimp, don't get hit and stay cool.

after playing his Pikachu for so long, and seeing the people its beaten.... yeah.. Im sayin for to be like Axe's Pikachu.......**** right impossible.... str8 up. PERIOD...If you can find me a Pika that can beat Axe's or impress me the way axe's does.. i can begin to believe you.. but.....man it's hard to actually do all that stuff he does.. and on top of that make it useful!.. axe is indeed one of a kind.. with a freakin rat....!
ON ANOTHER NOTE: i did call this years ago.. that he'd be the Pikachu!... n_n jus throwin that out there.....lol again

Oh you can't play just like someone esle silly that's your problem. He just plays different you could easily learn any and all tech skill, but you can never play just like someone esle.

You think it's a coincidence that Axe and Ash are both 3-letter words that being with an A?
I smell a conspiracy.
Axe cheats at this game.

But he's undoubtably better than me overall.

ICG: ...is chaingrabbing really that hard? in my opinion, it's one of the easiest things to do. you really don't have to react fast at all. if you can chaingrab in a fox ditto, i would think you could do it with pika against fox too... you have a lot of time after the Uthrow to react and grab him again. if you had to react as fast as... say... ganon, then i'd understand. but all you really need to do is JC your grabs (which everyone should do every time they grab with pika unless you're already standing still), and you're golden. it takes a long time to get comfortable with all 4 hitboxes of the Uair and be able to choose which one you wanna do. also, you can't just Usmash whenever you wanna kill someone. if you miss, you get punished. a very good player won't get hit by random Usmashes, and a player that's experienced against pikachu will know that you have to DI the Usmash away from pikachu so they won't get hit by thunder
just curious.... why did anther move to brawl????? seriously.... BRAWL?!?!?!? why would he throw away such an amazing gift???? he had so much talent
N64: not gonna lie... you're probably right lol. i know how to use pikachu, but it's rare that i fight against another pika user. i wouldn't know what to do =( my falco would get gimped haha
so i just finished moving... OMG i'm so sore, i've had to move boxes and stuff for the past 3 days. even though i'm in phoenix, i don't feel any more AZ anger.... i'm pretty sure that i gave all my anger to Wobbles lol

I can't down throw regrab as the ice climbers i'm a failure as a chain thrower. But I can easily down-throw revesre dair regrab. I can sometimes chain throw with pichu's up-throw I normally use up-tilt to make it easier. and I can predict there tech a lot of times when tech chasing. So yeah.

For what it's worth, I'm 25 now and I've been Straightedge my whole life up until Jan 4th, 2009, which was when I smoked pot for the first time. I've still never had alcohol [inb4listerene] and never will...but bud was the only thing I ever considered myself "interested" in, so after 10 years of being asked to join in by friends [no peer pressure though, just courteous invitations because I would be present while they did it], I finally decided "**** it" and just did it. And I had a lot of fun with it. But I've lived my life partying without it so I'm glad to say I've never used it as a crutch to help me let loose or run away from problems/stress.
TL;DR - if it's any comfort, I never feel like I need to do it for ANY reason. I simply enjoy it when I DO do it.
Thanks for the concern though, Axe =D

Bet you didn't blow smoke out your nose the first hit. I will never do it again because the first time nothing happened other than I tryed to build a chair which it was because i didn't like the chair I had. But the next week it felt like I was taking a hit every 15 minutes for 11 days staight mother F***er I was slow I even felt the smoke and could taste it. My mind slowed whi ch drove me nuts I wouldn't ley anyone touch me and when I when walking to school I would srceam and pleding it to stop I can't go slow I really really can't.
It was abopout as bad as when I lost my mind. I won't do it again and I don't care about trying drugs other then one that's like a legal acid. after all i'm a pink floyd kindof guy
Hey Wobbles (i've heard) isn't as bad as he used to be he calmed down and junk.
Hey axe I don't try to have any habits at all but are there any I should have that can NEVER backfire like L-canceling and JC grabing. In general like even if I was ______

honestly wobbles isn't bad at all. he's always treated me with respect, and he's actually a very nice guy. it's just sometimes, there's something medically wrong with him. like, i think he takes medicine for it, but i dunno about any details or something. in general though, he's a really cool and nice guy
glad to hear that you guys don't do that stuff. i've personally never touched any alcohol, or smoked anything. people say i'm a goodie goodie -_- i don't even cuss lol
but seriously guys, you should stay away from that stuff. play melee instead =) whenever i'm upset, i just play some melee and it relieves all my stress haha. it's pretty awesome
ICG: hmmmm... things that can never backfire.... like specifically that pikachu has, or just every character in general? maybe ummmm.... edge cancelling is awesome lol. for pikachu, you can never really go wrong with WD -> Ftilt upwards. it lasts forever and doesn't have much lag at all. i think the only way you can get punished is if it hits their shield, but that goes for pretty much any move. hitting the front of someone's shield when you're right in front of them with pretty much any move usually results in getting punished, unless you're falco or something

do fast fallers ever tech the last hitbox of Pika's uair? (the one that flips them behind you) from my experience, they never expect to go that way and I get free usmash nonsense at low %s and it makes me wonder if they ever start catching on...
also, thanks for the dtilt advice forever ago, that move is way better than I ever gave it credit for.

I don't even expect the u-air to land let alone know where it'll send me.
My friend uses Pika and I'm like "that won't reach me"
and he's like, "lol, it already did" *jab resets*
The range is awfully deceptive.

Mogwai: yeah, for some reason, spacies will rarely tech the last hit of the Uair if you hit them while they're on the ground. i usually always run behind me and hit them with a slightly charged Usmash after they miss the tech. you can pretty much count on them missing this tech =) however, sometimes, i'll find someone who actually techs it. for instance.... i tried it at 5:21 of this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gnfK_8VnA
TresChikon: yeah, the Uair always hits people when they don't expect it to reach, i love it so much lol. maybe that's the reason why they always miss the tech when you hit them on stage with it.
ICG: if you're looking for advice with pichu & IC's, i can help you a little bit with IC's, but i don't know ANYTHING about pichu. he's my worst character lol. but as far as i know with the experience i have from getting ***** by wobbles, Utilt is an amazing move with the IC's. a WD -> Utilt works wonders, kinda like pika's Ftilt, except the Utilt can set up for a grab or another hit of some sort. he ALWAYS does WD -> jab. if he gets the jab to hit me, he'll either dsmash or grab, and there's pretty much nothing i can do about it. the jab is almost un-punishable.
oh and something kinda interesting that he does against my falco.... if you play a falco player who likes to laser camp, try a WD -> forward smash. the laser will hit popo, but nana won't get hit and will still forward smash. he owned me with this pretty hard not too long ago, it's a really brilliant idea

But one thing is true about me I don't lie i'm just hard to understand sometimes.
LOL I was playing classic as falco and it did team mario so I figured I would just shine them to death wtf they jab me the frame after I shined so I was shine canceling faster than silent wolf I did like 8 it so fast and funny as H***.

Long as there's more tvs at this than Genesis I'm gonna love this tournament.
We never have actually played each other so I would like to do that too, we could each take turns swapping who plays Pika and who plays the other char (I would like this a lot)
Pika doubles will be insanely awesome too :D Looking forward to it lots.

movement is a pretty big part of it. i usually try to mindgame the marth into attacking. usually, marth players tend to SH double Fair or full hop double Fair. i usually attack right after he does the first Fair. whenever i try to attack right after he lands, it normally doesn't lead to good results. my approach varies from shffl Nair, SH Uair, running downtilt, full jump Dair... it really depends haha. i can't really explain itWHy is it never happy 1963

that's kinda funny, we never actually played against each other lol. i dunno, i was having one heck of a fun time teaming with you. you're so awesome as a partner, it's incredible!
but heck yeah man =) we gotta play against each other. you're hecka good. and i'm totally fine with playing falco, and i have many other decent characters that i can play, it's just my pikachu and my falco completely exceeds the skill level of any of my other characters and i'm not sure why.... but we definately need to play each other more =)

you know, it's kinda weird. i'm pretty sure that i've played falco and fox a lot more than pikachu, but for some reason my pikachu is just so much better. it's like destiny lol
