It has come to my realization that a lot of people end up having mental blocks as pikachu. They don't know how to do something better and they can't seem to beat the normal people. They also can't get out of bad habits or even get a certain timing. My advice for you is simple yet effective.
Stop playing pikachu.
Not permanently obviously, just for a few weeks/a couple of months. Hell, not playing brawl is an option too. If you constantly play your habits will build up. If you don't play/play another character, the habits will decrease and you will also see the game in a different way. You would get used to playing as X character and then when you play with pika realize that you have 2 options against Z thing that you didn't with X, and you learn from it. This helps you get better at realizing situations.
Also, if you go to a national tournament and you watch a top pika, such as Z, Pikapika, Anther, or myself, don't try to play immediately and copy what we do. Let the strategies and subtle nuances of the style sink in. Then pick up the game in 3 weeks and see how you do with it.
That's it lol.
