FRIO ALPHICANS TECHNIQUE SPOTS (FAT SPOTS)
INTRO
My partner Frio I have discovered a new technique. We are able to fully charge GaW's bucket with just one thunder on almost every stage in multiple locations. We decided to call this technique FAT spots. Despite the humorous name, this technique is actually really amazing, and will make your pika/gaw team much more effective!
First off we'd like to recognize the Japanese brawl players who first formed the basic idea for this technique http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NNjZ5QQ6bA&feature=channel_video_title (As seen in this video). Now if you actually try to attempt this exactly as shown, you'll find it impossibly hard to space. After pretty much dumb luck, we have found that spacing this vertically, and not horizontally makes getting the full (onehitKO) bucket VERY easy.
The technique is rather simple itself. You are trying to catch the lightening balls that appear underneath Pikachu while he thunders (demo picture will go here). This is rather difficult if you try doing it horizontally as the Japanese did. Therefore, Frio and I have discovered easy to use vertical positions on almost every stage. This is best done by having Pikachu on a platform above GaW. It’s simple and has almost no risk since the thunder cannot harm the GaW below Pikachu and both characters have invincibility frames. It’s also a very fast and deadly charge for the bucket.
EXAMPLE
Until we make the video, I'll explain a very useful example of this technique. We have found that battlefield offers probably the best set-up of all the neutrals, and spacing it so you get all three bucket components is simple. Have pikachu on the top platform and roll to either edge, then have GaW on one of the other two platforms, and have him roll to/get as close to the edge (closest to pikachu) as possible, and have the two characters facing away from eachother. Pika will do thunder, GaW will bucket, and if done correctly you will now have a full bucket. Of course if you practice this enough, rolling won't be required, and lots of time will be saved (****ty GaW roll :/).
We are able to perform this technique on the stages listed here* (Some in more than one place): Battlefield, Yoshi's Island, Lylat Cruise, Pokémon Stadium 2, Castle Siege, Pokémon Stadium, Delfino Plaza, Frigate Orpheon, Battleship Halberd, and Brinstar.
*It can be done on many more stages but these are the most easy and realistic stages it can be accomplished on.
For convenience sake we have pictures of each stage and where you can perform the technique below: *WILL ADD THESE SOON*
