Hey pika. Good vids.

Some advice...

use more nairs, especially when you are chasing someone, it's a good attack with a nice hitbox.

work on your chaingrabbing. You lost the shiek chain like twice when you could have kept her going. Also, start the chain with them at lower percents, as you go the moves get stale and allows you to chain longer. If you start it at higher percents you don't get as much use out of it as you could and they will probably be able to DI out of it sooner because it wont be as stale at the higher percents.

Don't go under the stage that often. Once in a while is ok, but like 3-4 times in a row on FD is a little excessive. You could screw up (especially online) or get predictable and your opponent will edge hog you (like I do :b )

Quac more, it makes you a lot less predictable and helps a lot.

hope I was of some assisstance.

=)

That never works for me though :(

Thats not really a problem becuz I know how to do it, He just knows how to get out of it lol
I guess thats the problem from always playing with someone haha (They learn how you move and you get predictable).

It was just a friendly, in a real match I only do it 1-3 times depending on whats going on.

I'll work on that hahah

java needs to stop with the thuders :).
I know I do, but it's only in those rounds lol I REALLY don't use it that much since it does leave you open. I need to get a capture card, I have some more matches I need to put on but when I do i'll put them on here

you def need to start grabbing more. i saw you use the usmash a few times when you either should have dsmashed or grabbed. learn how to QAC and use your aeriels more. i didn't see much SHing either so practice that along with SHtjolt . working on this will help you be more unpredictable.

Actually, normal hop jolts are better. That is how Anther (best pika player) usually does it. It allows you to have more forward momentum and follow closer to the jolt should you want to approach.

Hes really good lol most of time it's hard to grab so yeah unless you can thunder then get him while hes blocking most people don't knock back unless you're predictable, more videos so check those out :)

people caught me, i fail at life...but really it's one of my biggest pet peeves when people get on her and can't take the criticism they ask for. it could be just because they are friendlies but whatever say what you want your behind a keyboard

YOU'RE PRETTY FREAKING... ok~ not very good imo. i think theres something wrong with your game fundamentals. you often misuse moves and arent very good with spacing dodging or shielding. you overuse side b. good players punish that move so badly.

to be honest, you'll get ***** in competitive smash. but keep working on it.. youll get there someday.

getting back on topic i think if you gonna use fair, use it so that when your fastfalling, your landing behind your opponent.
