True. I guess most people do play different, regardless of how the character is built. I space a lot on Jigglypuff (my previous main), I get extremely aggressive but control the stage with lasers on Falco (current), but I'm a bit jumpy [literally] on my Pika. I like to use aerials more here. :3
Definitely! :D Thanks for the advice, bro!
Exactly! Which is why I'm still wondering why I don't see as many people trying to uptilt as they try to chain-grab.
Because I was gonna say, you can technically spam Uptilt a couple of times unless the opponent is Jigs or somehow has really GREAT DI. 
but if anyone wants to help me out or has some free time it would be great if you could pm me or something and I could send you the vids 
I don't get it, why would you uptilt during a chaingrab? Chaingrab pretty much goes 0-death or unless there's a platform, and uptilt doesn't solve that problem.Exactly! Which is why I'm still wondering why I don't see as many people trying to uptilt as they try to chain-grab.
You guys really should check out some of my pichu posts very insightful at times.Something to note the best thing I could get it to combo into was f-tilt on gannon at like 80% nothing esle works i've tested and tested and tested. however something to understand about d-throw if it didn't have that ending lag it would be a perfect copy of sheik's d-throw in EVERYWAY.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx8M9WqCvCk if you watch mario gets comboed like wise sheik can jump out at 0% perfect with great timing and di. You have to know what works on the player. I've tech chased marths with d-throw and it should last till like 60% vs sheik
You have to know how they will react for it to be useful. If they tech combo or tech chase if they try to jump out sometimes combo or upair them and they don't have their 2nd jump. If they try nair sometimes you can be faster and combo them or sheild and then up-smash if they air dodge out just nair them. also di is a sigh they will tech maybe airdodge they won't attack. It's prediction IF they know how pichu's d-throw works or they try to always do something by reaction.
Unless it's like mario or something i'd just up-throw. Space animals just tech chase if they mess their tech jab reset f-smash is **** as all get out.
Really I think f-throw is more solid for combos like vs puff f-throw nair also as falco I play some mean mindgames with f-throw i'll f-throw into f-throw into DD regrab into fsmash or dair just know how they will react and this does more than just gives you extra percent it really gets in people's heads that you know everything they'll do. I mean to do it as pichu but up-throw upair dair is very nice damage when I fight sheik/falco(up-throw combos be fun) but mindgames is what pichu just totally ***** at.
after so much f-throw like different throw into combo.
mother f***er I could write some pages on pichu.
On heavier characters, they will be forced to tech at lower percents so it can be used as a techchase, but I've just always loved using Uthrow since you can get a guaranteed hit after it. Then again, I don't use Dthrow much at all so maybe someone else would know better ^^
yay alright, I actually ended up not recording cause my tournament was kind of hectic and I did not have the time in between running it...
Nothing is really guaranteed with sheik XD With grabs it is best to bthrow when close to an edge and attempt the edgeguard, while in middle of stage, its better to use uthrow and attempt a uair juggle or a nair. Most of Sheiks attacks outrange and outprioritizes Pika's moves, and her camping game is far superior to Pikachu's. You need to be really precise with your L-Cancels and try and to not do random aerials giving her the chance to chaingrab and I agree with ICG that you need to bait Sheiks into messing up their spacing and Ftilts and Dtilts are necessary. You want to get Sheik in a situation that they really can't do anything (F.E edgehogging to force Sheik to recover onto the stage so you can waveland and do an usmash or bthrow.) I think Pikachu has the most potential for edgeguarding against Sheik due to his ability to quick attack onto the ledge as Sheik starts her Up-B.
