so i played cady and esoj a ton on tuesday. man they are smart. the reason they win though is because they have a thorough understanding that its a free hit when you touch the ground frm landing in the air and they can force you to a certain spot of the stage and pounish you. once i understood that about them i was able to win.

btw, candy never spotdodges and esam should win.

Actually, Omni says that one of Candy's biggest weaknesses are his spot dodges.

ESOJ went too? Aweshum.

Let's stop talkin about Candy vs. ESAM. It's really not that important.

I hope you remembered that you're Pikachu and can QAC to the ground. Not that it makes it impossible for them to punish you, but it's better than what most characters have.

Just... throwing that out there.

Take that FL! Lol. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that the Snake vs Pikachu match is even. But, I guess at the highest level of play, Snakes can learn to avoid thunder and to not get grabbed. I also hear they can DI like beasts. I'd like to see Candy vs. Esam now.

Snake lives forever, can counter-camp, has disjointed limbs, and deals 1000% per hit.... how is it hard to believe? x.x
Because I've never faced a great Snake xD

In all seriousness, it's only hard to believe at mid level play. At high level play, I believe it.

Just another day.
I played Chops in that MU and played other snakes in GA (we have a decent amount), and I can safely say that it is even due to the fact that landing the grab is tough (and it can be interrupted) and landing a kill move when Snake is planted onto the ground. He covers an immense amount of range just from his tilts, and his grabs are fairly broken in range too (pivot grab almost longer than D3's grab wut?).

so kenny, you lost to a mario first round then a diddy in losers? you know im just gonna go out and say it cuz no one else will. i dont think your pika is as good as you say it is. whens the last time you placed top 10 in a tourney with more than 20 people? whens the last time you got top 8? top 5? better than top 5? what is the best you've done?

the last two months ive been watching you and everytime you have an excuse as to why you do so bad every time. either its, "i was having a bad day" or "stupid circumstances". and how much do you even use pika in tournies? im always seeing different chars.

lemme put it this way. i saw your bracket. first match was against a mario. im guessing you went pika. y? cuz DDD's wreck mario's and you most likely would have won with a DDD. but you lost. to a mario. then you had to play a diddy after winning two more matches. which btw you used d3 at least once in those 2 matches cuz the results said you used ddd, which means that at best you won one match with pikachu. losing to diddy is aight, but the fact remains if you were as good with pika as you say you should be doing better than you are.

please tell me where im mistaken.

The match-up is really tough but not impossible. I have like 14 very recent matches on youtube vs MikeHaze. I only win in like 3 of those matches, but I was playing really bad most of that day. Also I think Z beat Haze in a tourney not too long ago, so it is possible for Pika to win. Power shielding those aerials is pretty much a must if you want to win in this match-up.

Just a warning. I do terrible in some of those matches, lol. Also, Anther beat Neo the last tourney they played in. More proof that Pika can win.:)

I personally like the matchup. Kind of feel like facing almost any other hi tier character really. The most recent tourney I placed first in, I did pretty well in grand finals against a marth (new marth, but I think he's decent). I think I have a knack (maybe lucky too) for reading marths in general, so that's probably why the matchup doesn't feel as bad for me. Recently @ HERB 2, I beat HRNUT's marth in a friendlies (he better NOT have been sandbaggin.... >:O). So take it with a grain of salt, but at least it's SOMETHING.

The Grand Finals BOTH Sets:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFG910thTLw&fmt=18 (Pika's Game; epic momentum cancel comeback)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POBsATO8i8U&fmt=18 (Pika's Game; epic Skull bash KO... this one's for you gallax! :D)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U9JdM9g9Oo&fmt=18 (Marth's Game; I HAD IT... but messed up@!$)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBhcJfJPhEk&fmt= 18 (Pika's Game; MY counterpick... lol. Nothing fancy. Match 4 of potential 5)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl9Z1fAsvQY&fmt=18 (Pika's Game; Match 1 out of potential 5 second set; Read youtube for info about match 2 of set 2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f65QebFMjAk&fmt=18 (Pika's Game; NOT marth... but as you can see, he was frustrated enough to change chars; i wasn't too good at wario matchup back then--i got lucky last KO)

Mario? What ****ing Mario? He was lucario. I ***** him first round with pika then he took me to brinstar
Where I went to kirby and just ****ed around. Unfortunately I was dumb and lost the last round with kirby and just jumped into his attacks. the person I lost I almost ALWAYS 3 stock so don't gimme that ****. I was tired from hosting the event the night before. Then in losers I went d3 because I wasn't feeling pika. I used pika for one match where I beat a snake then finished him with d3. Then I lost to deez where he took me to third round and timed me out. The last two tourneys I haven't used pika but when I do, I win. And yes I broke top 10 a couple of times the month before. Not as many times as I could or should have but I did. My lowest was a 17th placing where I went 100% pika and lost to a solid marth and wario. Hop off my ****.

EDIT before I even post: Kenny ninja'd me. (Post preview ftw.)

But yeah, Gallax, you should get your facts straight before you come at somebody out of nowhere. There was absolutely no reason for you to call Kenny out like that, especially when you didn't even know what you were talking about, lol.

Take a few steps back, calm it down.

One other thing, I constantly refer to myself as a mediocre- chu in the chat. If I'm overrated then its not my fault.

This is true, he doesn't really pass himself off as great or anything. He normally says he is mediocre, so he never really says he is so amazing, like some other pikachu we all know and love (:bee:)

Anyway, Candy might not be going down to SFL but i would **** him because I GET THOSE SNAKES IN THE AIR *****S
