IM having SO much trouble against Pit

[KingDiDiDiddy]

I seriously hate pit IMO he is so cheap... his priority is ridiculous and he can reflect your thunder jolt with two of his moves... I find myself only able to get off down smash attacks... how do i beat a good pit?

Pit is, in my own opinion, the worst match up for Pikachu.
Play a secondary.
..........
Seriously, Pit is very gay. He uses his Homo-projectile(Arrows) and camps. Approaching him is not hard. If HE IS camping, crawl towards him, the arrows will not hit you. I usually try a full jumped Dair at the little *******. And try to set a grab up some gow which will lead to combos.

I usually just play as jiggz against the pric..I mean Pit! (Though I am not sure that match up is any better.)

If HE IS camping, crawl towards him, the arrows will not hit you.

You do know that pit can aim his arrows down at you, any pit with a slight bit of skill will be able to do this just as effectively as shooting them straight at you. This also leaves you very open for his over b which is a pain in the *** to get caught up in.

You have to play very close to pit, characters like him are the reason why you need to be good at sidestepping/airdodging.

Most of pit's attacks are fast which is trouble for pikachu, unless you get evasive. Use your rolls and spot-dodges to avoid getting hit and find fast attacks to counter with. For the shield, send a few arial jolts of electricity at pit to get closer without worrying about if they get reflected back. Also pit's shield only blocks in front of him, not behind or from above (or below but not too relevant to pikachu) so use arials to your advantage. If pit takes flight, air-dodge and downB.

I don't know what attacks are called so bare with me

- spam neutral b and train your opponent to start using forward b to reflect
- take advantage of the lagtime of the forward b and quickly attack his back to grab. QAC might help here...
- try and get him off stage since his return is fairly limited by pika's thunder vertical reach
- dsmash out of shield, its too good
- calm down when being arrow spammed and don't lose it.

i notice if u short hop aerial, u should get the priority against pit or just quick attack cancel to get inside. i don't think arrow can keep up with the proper use of quick attack cancel . after quick attack cancel into another aerial and quick attack to land and repeat.(THIS NEED ALOT OF PRACTICE)
