Generating A Win: An Electrifying Guide to Pikachu

[KayLo!]

that riku looks too girly ;l

Lol, I'm surprised you actually knew it was Riku. XD I know. I'm running out of good (as in, ones that can reasonably be made into avatars) pics of him to use.... I might have to move on to Larxene or Sora soon.

But let's be honest. Riku always looks kind of girly.

[Kirin]

This guide is the best formatted and most detailed guide I have seen on Smashboards so far. I just picked up Pikachu Thursday, and this guide has been a huge help to me in learning how to play the yellow mouse. Thanks a lot!

Great and awesome guide, it was great! It taught me a few things about QAC and Utilt... and I have to practice my grabbing more. I also have a small note that some Pika mains or starters might find useful- Pika's size combined with his speed make for epic jumping evasion moves. I can't say I can name them all or tell you exactly how to do certain ones, because I haven't tested this that much (I'm just getting into competitive play)- but I can tell you that they can make others frustrated with Pika's ability to dodge, jump, and quickly do it all over again. Also, your best choice for jumping is to jump backwards- not only do you have much more control over your jump (you can move back and forth), but it also lasts much longer and makes it a little harder for your opponent to hit you if you practice. Thanks to everyone who made that long guide, it was very helpful. ~

Wow, a lot of shiz has gone down since I've left.

Looks like an amazing guide.
*Reads*

 

[limo223]

Thank you so much! Your guide helped me raise my pikachu to a whole new level!

 

[Kenrawr]

They didn't read it klo! They didn't!

 

[SilverSpark]

yeah he did

 

[KayLo!]

They didn't read it klo! They didn't!

Hush, Kennybox.

This needs some serious updating..... maybe tomorrow. x.x

 

[bigman40]

Make sure that you put in uber caps, "CORE GAMEPLAY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO LEARN!" I don't wanna see more Pika players use techs and CGs and have a very weak core. I might start stressing it much more in my critiques....

 

[SpikeBolt]

*bows* Thanks for the awsome guide

 

[Looticforgothispassword]

Ehm Good content, but skip the jokes, it sounds as bad as when an adult tries to talk like a teenager, lol.

Jokes? Not sure which section you're talking about (since we all wrote different ones), but I don't recall anyone trying to tell jokes in their section.

Anyway, I'm updating soon..... probably within the next few days. If anyone has any suggestions for things to add/change/remove, post them here. Also, thanks to everyone who's complimented the guide!

Add the uair-footstool.

 

[Vecayse]

Meh I used to main Pika before but dropped him, after reading this I feel like picking him up again and trying some of the stuff in the guide. It helped quite a lot.

 

[Enochuout]

Phenomenal guide, thank you.

[Twilight_Galaxy]

oh god this is such a great read! i only got half way through and learned alot of little tips and tricks... epic guide kaylo it was organized and just awesome ... Pikachu should totally be top teir and this list proves it. haha

 

[BlackLightning90]

Awesome guide! I'm a Pikachu main and I needed to know some of his tactics for the metagame.

 

[Sparxy]

nice that guide well help me rack up soem more combos

 

[Dragon20942]

You and Anther are my inspiration! The taunt section i must say is the best though. Keep up the good work!

 

[Kantō]

i read parts of this guide everyday... haha its an awesome reference

 

[Legendary Pikachu]

For some odd reason I cannot find the OP for the u-air 0-death on all the cast. I think it should be linked to the OP of this thread with the percentages and stuff, since it sorta phased out of the first page of the pika boards.

*if i am just lost, please point me in the right direction ^_^*

EDIT: Although i could find ONE remaining link to the OP through silversparks 100+ tricks that can be found through the 'Start here guide', I still think that the u-air footstool to death should be at least re-linked through generating a win or at least on the front page of 'start here guide' somewhere. Thanks.

 

[KayLo!]

I'll tell Prime to link it in the research thread and add it to the guide here when I get a chance. The whole guide needs a revamp, period. x.x It's kind of really outdated at this point, although a majority of things haven't changed too too much.

Also, at the bottom of the Pikachu forum (or any forum), you can change the settings ("Display Options") to display older posts. I think the default is posts from the last month, but you can increase it all the way to showing posts from the beginning, hehe.

 

[Albert.]

This is easily the best guide on Smash boards.

 

[KuroKitt10]

Hey, Kaylo: I was reading through this guide again (I find it helpful to re-read the whole thing. Sometimes I find stuff I had forgotten about, or am reminded when my game is getting stale) and as I was doing so, I realized quite a few spots where it would be really helpful if there were a short video demonstrating what was being explained.

If this is something you think you might be interested in and willing to add to the guide, I could go about making some/all of the demonstration videos. Just let me know either way =3

Mew! *purrrs*

 

[KayLo!]

Hehe, Prime and I actually talked about something like this not too long ago. I'm doing something similar for the Zelda guide, and I considered going ahead and doing it for ours as well.

I'll probably go ahead and do it, but if I decide not to or need help, I'll let you know. <3 I've been trying to find time to update the guide in general..... it's a bit outdated.

Haha, my ideas always seem to be a step behind you guys XD Well, just pass a PM along if you need anything - I'm more than willing to help out =3
