Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

[Mariabattleaxe]

My Pikachu is a little girl, everyone else's Pikachu can be whatever it wants XD

 

[Palpi]

Its only a girl if it has a heart tail!

 

[AXE 09]

But you can tell the gender of any Pikachu by their tail! A female Pikachu has a little dent at the end of its tail (making it look like a heart I think haha). See?

 

[Mariabattleaxe]

See, my Pikachu's tail does that. Which means it is a little girl. Everyone else's Pikachu is a boy.

 

[AXE 09]

Hahaha of course. My Pikachu is manly!

 

[Bamesy]

I'm candy kong...
so I know what's up to be a chick...

My Pikachu wears Ashes hat...
WHO CAUGHT WHO NOW WHAT WHEN WHERE HOW?!?!?!

 

[AXE 09]

WHO CAUGHT WHO NOW WHAT WHEN WHERE HOW?!?!?!

You forgot WHY lol

 

[ChivalRuse]

I know Pokemon are supposed to have gender, but it never clicked for me that Pikachu wasn't androgenous.

 

[Bamesy]

I thought that was given...
Why?

Cause Pikachu > Pokemon (especially the kind that go in pokeballs)

 

[D. Disciple]

Soju, I'll fly back out to the West Coast, to have some pika shenanigans, as well as over to the east coast. Hmm, I wonder if I should hit up a tourney there other than pound.

 

[DondonSF]

Soju-

and next tourny i shall head to is Don't Go Down There Jeff so meh =w=

 

[AXE 09]

I'll see you there

 

[soju]

bah =w= i have to go ahead and bring the smackdown on your pika again, eh?

Well fine by me :3 haha

 

[indigestible_wad]

Bah go to the west coast, we have pika shenanigans over here even though the only pika players around here that I know of are me, Axe, Festizzio(?), and a few pikanoobs i play with occasionally :] itll be like a super small but awesome pika party


. . . well we arent close to each other but we can still party West Coast style in our minds :3

For Pac NW, I main pikachu and I've seen Silent Wolf from washington play with him occasionally. And that's pretty much it. Just thought I'd make that clear.

 

[Bamesy]

Vish uses him in low tiers from WA too. Last time I saw anyway.

BC right above you has me and kiiiind of diakonos. I think he'd use him in low tier but that's about it.

 

[indigestible_wad]

You should come to tourneyplay. I know some other BC people coming.

 

[Bamesy]

Yeah there's always a few going to gameclucks and that stuff hahah
I can't make it to anything for a few months now. I went to TP2 when I was starting out I think...was fun. Will come again eventually but not until after summer probably.
I actually can't make it to anything in 'BC' either. I'm like 4 hours northwest of the actual community. We're babies here but we still livin!
lol

Arpe BC with Pika plx :D

 

[Griffard]

I'm trying to get into Pikachu, but these forums are the deadest on all of Smashboards it seems! No video thread, no guide from the last 5 years, etc. Pretty bummed about that.. but just thought I'd let y'all know that I've been dominating my floormates with Pika, it's pretty fun. They'll eventually learn the match-up, but by that time I should have some combos and near-perfect recovery down

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

what do you want to know sheild pressure, grab combos, recovery tactics or what?

 

[soju]

=3= just ask your questions here, personal feedback is better then any guide :D

and you just gotta find your pika vids yourself cuz were all cool like that :3

Welcome to the Pika boards man We don't really post much cuz we're all too busy plaing Melee lol. Those other character boards talk way too much. They need to learn from us

 

[Palpi]

Hey, axe! I would love to play you at Pound!

 

[AXE 09]

Hey, axe! I would love to play you at Pound!

Honestly I'm not too sure if I'm coming to Pound or not

But if I go then heck yeah! We should definitely get some friendlies in or something

 

[Palpi]

Pound is a must!!! I understand traveling from AZ can be pretty expensive though too!

I hope you can make it...It will be sick.

 

[soju]

Axe! What are you gonna do for housing for DGDTJ? I'm trying to find a place to bunk for the night since I'm lazy and don't feel like driving 45 minutes to concord and back another 45 minutes two days in a row = =ll

>w> so I'm basically saying if you got some room to spare we can become like this for a night :D

except without the awesome jammies TT.TT

 

[V3ctorMan]

I wish Yoshi was a pokemon.. ><;








































































































































sorta...........><;

 

[soju]

I'm being housed by Mr. Westballz lol. So if you ask him in the DGDTJ housing thread, I'm pretty sure he still has room. He said he's able to house like 20 people, and there's like 15 or something signed up. So gogogogo

I wish Yoshi was a pokemon.. ><;

sorta...........><;

sure he can, pink yoshi can be a lickitung :D

Lol! I'll never look at pink Yoshi the same again.

Miss ya Vman

 

[ChivalRuse]

Did Vman go on vacation or something?

 

[AXE 09]

Did Vman go on vacation or something?

We live about 3 hours apart now, and don't get to see each other often anymore

 

[ChivalRuse]

Awwww. That makes me sad.

 

[Bamesy]

Pffffft
Just makes meeting that more delicious

 

[AXE 09]

Here's a little Pikachu action for you guys lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVVhwmLFO28 vs Marth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7gKL003QQw vs Ganon... This Ganon is a new guy in AZ. He's suprisingly really freakin good. I think you guys will like him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH3r18uRoxA#t=11m25s And this is a doubles match. I just kinda like how Taj and I did in this match I guess lol. But you're more than welcome to watch the whole thing.

There should be more vids uploaded to this channel (including a crazy crew battle) so subscribe if you like

 

[Palpi]

I like his Ganon, it is very simple.

 

[Bamesy]

Pretty cute.


I need to pay attention to when I can usmash.
The opportunity is there after Nairs and things...but I rarely go for the usmash...then I realize I could've...
gotta get on that more

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

that is why I think marth isn't all that great unless he gets a f-smash or combos you off the edge all his combos are worthless. he didn't kill pikachu till 200% so many times it's dumb even on PS. yeah recovery is epic but still.

marth can't deal with some on on par (speed) unless he can edge **** them easily otherwise he starts crumbleing at the seams.

marth can't punish hards in many match-ups and he gets hit hard and people are smart enough to break his walls. same can't be said for puff because bair kills much better than marth's fair.

pichu vs marth is so fun.

 

[Bamesy]

Aerial B

It's a good move that goes extremely underused by Marths that haven't quite adapted beyond the standard of 2 years ago.
M2K did it...once...it worked...on Armada...in a regular situation...
He hasn't done it since. Nobody else 'good' has even mildly incorperated it.

It's good.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

I argee if marth's mixed up fairs and Bs it would f*** us all up but yeah.

 

[AXE 09]

BTW, I'm not sure if you guys remember me talking about the usefulness of Pikachu's ledge attack, but... this is what I was talking about lol.

[ChivalRuse]

What other characters have ledge attacks that always hit backwards from that angle? Lol.
