Match-up discussion #14: Pikachu

[choice_brawler]

the issue will not only be grabbing wolf, but also grabbing wolf in a location where you have enough room to set up your cg's. if you're just gonna go for the 0-100+% cg, you probably will not win this against a good wolf unless you take him to FD. thus wolf's ban FD, xD

 

[Turbo Ether]

Yeah, I ban FD against Falco and DDD already, Pikachu will be added to that list as well, apparently.

 

[ArcPoint]

This actually works for me. I second Pikachu, so, I will beat any other Wolf player, AND Falco player =D

Eh...who to use against Pika... I'd go Snake or Marth.

 

[choice_brawler]

marth is a better bet against pika than snake. especially with the new cg info for pika.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

snake was even with us before the new cgs. now its even worse. go with marth, easily pikas worst matchup.

 

[ArcPoint]

Zoning ftw. I was actually trying to drop Marth... but just in case I ever face a Pikachu in tourney I'll play him haha. (Not that there's any body in NorCal that plays Pikachu...)

 

[Stealth Raptor]

there will be now. so many people love gay **** like this and will pick up pika for that fact alone. that doesnt even include all the people who will pick him up for mk lol

 

[ArcPoint]

What's the CG there? 20-60?

 

[Jeet Kune Do]

Haha, wow, doesn't Pikachu totally **** wolf? Kinda like how Sheik ***** him but even worse, right? I dunno, that's probably just a general first impression for me. I'd much rather try to counter pick Pikachu with something

That doesn't teach you the wolf vs pika match up. Yes it is bad and counterpicking is the easiest solution, but if we do not analyze the match up theres no chance of it going from bad to good.

 

[Healer]

My friend whos a pika player buffers that dang CG, it's soooooo annoying, he barely attacks regular he just CGs the whole time, and I cant just reflect them cuz he buffers, is there ANY way around this.
I would say that theres a disadvantage for wolf with that new buffered CG, if ur playing against someone who can't buffer then u should be fine.

 

[Equi]

Am I nuts? This matchup thanks to Pikachu's buffered cg to 80% is just as bad if not worse than DDDs. Am I missing something here? I have no answers for Pikachu.

This thread is ages old, Equi. If you want to discuss match-up use Sesshomuronays match-up thread. This one is outdated and I don't update them anymore.

 

[Healer]

What do you mean this is outdated, where's the new one?
