This is one of the biggest problems you'll encounter using Pikachu. He lacks killing power if you use his staples like nair. Thunder and f-smash can kill but require a good set-up. I get most of my kills from gimps or edgeguarding (i.e. just not letting the opponent come back to the stage). When your opponent is at killing %'s, lure them towards the edge of the stage and get in a back throw from there if you can. In any case, do the dirty deed from the edge or off-stage. It'll make things much easier.I just can't seem to finish strong when playing Pika (happens with yoshi, but moreso with pika). I also can't kill for the life of me. My killing is worse than Yoshi. I dunno what else there is to pika in terms of killing, but what does anyone know about the previous problem (finishing strong)?
I have the same problem. I never have a problem killing unless it's at the very end of the match and we're both on our last stock. I feel like playing my pika very agressive, works well, but it's too risky at the end of the match. I just need to get more set ups and bait a lot more. I'll get better. =]I just can't seem to finish strong when playing Pika (happens with yoshi, but moreso with pika). I also can't kill for the life of me. My killing is worse than Yoshi.

See, I don't want to have to rely on mainly gimping to get all my kills. Are their any mixups that can be used to keep people from always avoiding the main kill moves? The only reason I can mainly get my kills off with Yoshi is because I can mixup his kill moves with other stuff to throw people's timing off.This is one of the biggest problems you'll encounter using Pikachu.

This. The ONLY people I can play ever involve either wifi (which I can never seem to do anything right on) or college on certain days, and that involves free for alls that just ensue in chaos. Little-thinking-involved chaos. The only thing I feel I can do is play random and learn characters moves better.*sigh* I don't even know if I have a local scene.
Yeah, the only people in my community are a bunch of redneck hillbilly's who don't know what a Wii is.This.
