But they gave him the squishy crouch noise in exchange :D
hahahaha that's EXACTLY what I was going to say! I like to mix it up with downupdownup, but also downdowndown moving to the side. It eliminates the "up" noise and just makes it more versatile. I like to tilt the controller sideways and rapid-tap XD

This thread is turning into how the Pacific West region forum is.
Completely off-topic, pointless, fun, and the best part- unmoderated.

I love it.

good, good.

Did I mention that I found out about a tournament within walking distance, randomly by checking an internet forum? Small world.

Back on topic...Kirby should actually be a little bit higher on the tier list because he can make squishy sounds. He also FLIES! zomg

The tier list is based off big tourney rankings and since their aren't very many Pika's in tourney he doesnt have any tourney results. Pikachu is an amazing character in my opinion with a Foostool to QAC Lock on the entire cast. Thats insane. I think he needs more time and more people to truly bring out his potential.

I thought of him as a MK counter but when i asked the Pika boards they said no. I'm still not convinced.

Just follow the grime...
I heard the only counter to snake was....









Snake
lmao.

Pika does actually have a slight edge over snake. His aerials are better, QuAC approaching F's up snake and Dsmash does a number on him as well if he is just camping. Just fair down onto him into a Dsmash, takes out SO much of his shield.

I once figured that if everyone instaquit when they fought snake, the snake players would get frustrated and pick a new character.

Then I realized that if they were playing for money, that would suck :p

My problem is I can never be as confident in any character besides kirby, even in bad matchups. I'd need a character thats a really hard counter to convince me to use it lol.

So instead I just secondary captain falcon just cause every time you get a kill its unbelieveably satisfying =D but I still only use him for fun lol.

I am actually surprised at how easily I can get a falcon pawnch off sometimes too. Just takes a little bit of mindgames. Usually full hopped reverse falcon pawnchs with DI work the best =P RARing falcon pawnchs is too good lol.

Its cool cause that way its like training with weights on when you are fighting someone that isn't as good as you since every single hit requires tons of mindgames for captain falcon. And sweetspotting knees is good practice for spacing =P

I like it.
Yeah, I third DDD just for Snake (Snake SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!) match-ups.
I second Sheik, Pika, and Captain Falcon.
Obviously, one of those is just for shiggles (****s and giggles).

Haven't played a MK as Pika, so I couldn't say.
Snake on the other hand I've played in a friendly, and I personally think Pika has the slight advantage there too. Pika can spam just as well to kill some of Snake's explosives, QACs help a lot in approaches, and as RollerKing said up there^^ Fair-->Dsmash acts pretty much as pillaring. He either gets his shield eaten away or gets hit and set up for Pika's aerials, which are much quicker and better.
Thunder kills Snakes recovery too.
Btw, like the new sig, why'd your other account get banned?

Kirby doesn't suck that bad against snakes unless they're ultra campy. Utilt and Bair are ****. D3 is the only TRUE snake counter IMO though. He works wonders. :D

I think Kirby Should be mid tier, hes good, but not that good, and Mario should also be mid. Why is game and watch so high?

Have you seen a good G&W play? O_O I went to a tournament today, and like at least 25% of the time you could see at least 1 G&W on one of the tvs. He was everywhere, I'm so sick of hearing his annoying noises. Not to mention getting owned by his annoying aerials.

Anyway, Gonzo, I did ok in the tourney. I was of course the only Kirby there, and I think people were pretty impressed, but it was my first time playing people irl, and they were far better than most I've played on wifi, so I definitely did not win. I did pretty well though :) Sadly, I didn't have any videos of me taken. I know some of the others did, so when they post them I'll link them since you wanted to see how the midwest plays.

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=175497 is the link to the thread for this tourney, you may recognize some of the names there. I got the honor of playing Anther, Overswarm, Blood_hawk and Samuraipanda, among many others.

It makes me happy that Anther, a Pikachu, won the tourney 8) I lost to Dedede (though I shouldn't have...) and ROB (ftl)
