pikachus grab is bad, standing range is horrible. dash grab is almost alright because he actually jumps forward to grab people. pivot grab is ok, but nothing crazy.

pikachu gets more from his setups to grab than his actual grab range.

Where are people getting that his vertical grab range is good?

Oh and Pika can footstool Fox from a downthrow and lock him. Same with CF and Sheik.

I think it's from the way he d-throw chaingrabs people, K Prime. They practically go over his head but he's still able to grab them again.

Doesn't look that amazing. It probably seems that way because Pika is grabbing them just at the tip of his grab range.

*sigh* No bite doesn't beat every approach Fox has against Wario, and why is Fox approaching? Did he leave his laser in his Arwing before he dropped down?
Almost every approach Fox has on Wario loses to his bite. You go for a fair, his bite will beat it out, dash attack or dash grab, bite beats it. Dair can hit from above, but Wario's Uair beats that out.

Lasers are a means to force and approach but Wario is not under an pressure since they have no hit stun.

@2-1% of damage per laser is nothing really to fret about when it has no hit stun and Wario can just hop over then all day, so if Fox wants to do some real damage he has to use something that isn't his blaster. Because a single hit from Wario will equivocate the damage the laser damage done on him or just outdue it by getting up close.

Then if we bring CP stages into the mix, you can't even camp him at all with lasers on some stages like Cruise and Brinstar.

If this were the case Fox vs. Wario is be a hard counter.

You shouldn't be so predictable with your approaches that he can bite you on recation.

3-1% adds on and does put pressure lol I will sit there and laser all day if Wario isn't gonna approach.

I have more to say but I don't want to turn this into the Fox vs. Wario MU thread.

Maybe--



(The first hitbox is pretty much where his head and shoulders are in neutral animation. Better grab range than Marth.)

The fact he can shut down almost every approach you make with bite is enough to convince me that Fox has some issues with that and other areas of this match-up.

Lasers are not pressure because they lack hit stun. Without it, Wario can move around as he wishes without needing to worry about those lasers creating follow-ups if they had hit stun. It's damage but there are extremely simple in usage, all you can do it shoot it via SHTL or SHDL. If you hit him, oh well he still can come at you if need be.

Wario isn't gonna be standing still either, he's gonna be hopping around quite a lot.

I think a good dash grab depends more on how good your dash and initial dash are.

Well, squirtle's grab is just insane, but pikachu's grab is still mediocre imo.


and he looks like he's having way too good of a time.

Who cares about Wario vs Fox? It's something like 6:4 or 55:45 Wario's favor, but it's not even close to relevant to the metagame at hand. Go talk about Sonic or something else people lol

In reference to Pikachu dthrow chaingrabbing Wolf:

- The chaingrab works until 115%.
- Pikachu can dthrow to footstool on the final throw.
- Pikachu can then QAL to force a jab lock on the Wolf.
- Pikachu can do whatever he wants.
If Wolf is grabbed at 0% this happens. If he is grabbed at say 30% then the cg ends around 80-90%. At 60% it no longer works. So...Wolf's just platform camp the same way they'd avoid Falco's cg.

Squirtle looks so happy.
He is gonna *** all over with his grab.

Oh yes. Squirtle gets it in with his own bubble.

You're right on the 60% one, but according to K Prime:

Espy 9:48 pm
(9:48:47 PM): So you can still dthrow chaingrab him up to 110% even if you start at 50%?
kprime2004 9:48 pm
(9:48:55 PM): yeah
Espy 9:48 pm
(9:48:57 PM): Would that also include the footstool into whatever?
kprime2004 9:49 pm
(9:49:38 PM): yeah
(9:49:42 PM): footstool still works
Yep.

Ic's can't PS Grab wolfs bair, Grab comes out in 5 frames while wolf is only able to be punished by moves 4 frames and under on block.

Jason it's about 55:45 MK, The gimps is what gives MK the upper hand. Other than that Marth can compete in every other aspect.
Are you sure Kadaj? I'd be willing to bet that if you factor in the fact that when the bair connects w/ nana's shield (after popo's) and there's more hitlag that popo won't be experiencing IC can get the grab.
