Generating A Win: An Electrifying Guide to Pikachu

[Blakmane]

Thought pika mains might be interested to hear that recent revisions/infinite discoveries have significantly improved ZSS's matchups against pika's counters. Here's the most up-to-date list.

I recently started seconding pika, and I can say they play off each other's weaknesses brillantly. Specifically ZSS is now a hard-counter to ROB if you learn her infinite (and pika covers falco, ZSS's main weakness).

 

[Pikabunz]

Interesting, I always liked using ZSS and I like the ZSS and Pika pair in the story mode. How does she do vs Marth?

 

[GBye]

This guide just made me want to start playing with Pikachu

 

[gamesuxcard]

I actually alted ZSS for a loooong time. I dropped her because she's just not that much fun to play after a while imo. People say she goes even with marth, but meh, you have to play more boring than you normally do when you play brawl.

That was a good read, took a while. X_X I love The Ultimate Secret to Mastering Pikachu: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=221415 That really improved my game

 

[Iota]

the guide is awsome really helps a lot thanks

 

[sandslash]

I think the best way to use pika is to hit and run make the enemy chase you and they get angry and off guard. Pickachu is deadly, easily my best character in the game.

 

[Hael Phael]

I think this guide is great I know it helped me a lot when I first started

 

[DtJ Hilt]

I was reading through this and wanted to point out how incredible this guide was formatted and written. Amazing job, Kaylo.

 

[Wretched]

Something small to add, but I believe pikachu is female because in the orange island series (and I assume pika is ashes), pikachu is infatuated with another trainers pikachu (his name escapes me) who is clearly male.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

In one of the more recent episodes, Ash's Pikachu was infatuated by a female Togepi, while Jessi's Yanmega wasn't, for them to find out that her Yanmega was female. So Ash's Pikachu is male. But the Pikachu in Brawl would be Red's Pikachu, if anything, and not Ash's, since all of characters in brawl are based off of the games and not any anime/manga adaption. But it's probably not his either, and probably just some random Pikachu, lol.

 

[KayLo!]

The tail is a male's tail. Pikachu a boy. =X

Hopefully it'll get updated and stuff now.

 

[~Radiance~]

[Roller]

And thus the reign of FZ began...

 

[~Radiance~]

*ocarina of time ganon laugh*

itll be good roller, cept first section im adding in here is "reasons why roller sucks"

its a pretty comprehensive part, it cld take well over a month to get down on paper.

 

[Seani]

I just found a thunderstone and evolved into Pikachu. Amazing guide can't thank you enough for putting together this masterpiece.

 

[Zodiark]

You can't evolve into Pikachu with a thunderstone or maybe you meant Raichu .

 

[Seani]

hehe it was in the middle of the night here in sweden. Dunno what I was thinking. Guess I was just tired

 

[Trife]

so, i have finished read the text

 

[Roller]

So. What's gonna happen with this? With FZ leaving and all...

 

[KayLo!]

Well, I doubt anybody's gonna make another one, and this one will probably never get updated no matter who takes it over...... so I'd say leave it as-is. If something needs a drastic change, Prime can do it.

 

[~Radiance~]

wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll looks like i fail at quitting soooooooooo i guess i shld prob get ontop of adding new shiz to this LOL.

any suggestions for things to add slash fixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?

Plz tell me your not gonna bump old threads n make threads of your own without confirming your discovery?

 

[KayLo!]

It's a stickied thread, so bumping it's no big deal. =X

 

[PZ]

Others in consideration...but ok i get that.

 

[Zerieth]

Sorry I didn't realize I was breaking a bumping rule. I musta skipped that one. (Really hates no bumping rules cause it makes for multiple threads of the same thing)

 

[PZ]

My bad Zerieth...I didnt know you could bump stickied threads.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

This thread used to be at the bottom of the stickied threads list, and now it's been bumped to the top. And now you know.
