Hello dear fellow Pikachu mains/fans.

I have recently experienced great interest in Pikachu, and as such I've been messing around with him. I want to make him really good; maybe as good as my Fox. I main Marth so you'll see lots of greedy uptilts, and dtilts against recovering opponents.

I questioned for a while whether it was best to post this in the Video threads, but I decided that this is where the experts are; Omnigamer please don't hurt me. I suspect that your critique will help me catch my errors and I'll eventually become a decent Pikachu.

I went to Edmonton last week, and I got a chance to play against Falsefalco, a very well respected Canadian smasher. I figured I should play pikachu against him, in the event that it might work.

ManLi (Pikachu) vs. Slightlybetterthanaverageguy (Marth)

Ugh, please don't mind Greengreens, I was peer-pressured to counterpick it, and wacky things happen in that level.

Thanks in advanced for your help and critique! "Ka-chu" later!

AHAHAHA. Roby, you wish that you had taught me something.

Pichu is Pikachu after being kicked in the balls. The high-pitched voice, the self-inflicting damage, and the light weight all testify to this fact.

Thanks everyone. Is there anything I can do to improve? Spam more/less of a move? Use more.... ? I have terrible recovery mindgames, and I can't use the quick attack to grab the ledge all fancy. Any tips?

edit://never mind. I can do the fancy quick attack edgehog.

Haha yes, he's a newer player. The Marth vs. Pika is a pretty big counter (according to pikachu-matchups) , so I was hoping that even that would be enough. I can try to get more vids up of Pikachu vs others. Any critique for what I have?
