PGD: Happy Birthday, Red!

[Leaf.]

pikachu cant camp well ill eat you for breakfast. only pikachu that can beat me from texas is prime, you dont stand a chance son

Aren't we 1-1?
I mean, sure, friendlies, but you know.

 

[Ussi]

Friendlies and MM are completely different :x

Something at stake just kicks the mind to focus better

Unless stealth is including friendies

 

[Scatz]

Money makes me play worse. Friendlies are totally legit

 

[Leaf.]

Nah, see.

You pick up a controller, you have no excuse.

I think it's an insult to hold back on someone just because you don't think something is on the line.


...unless you have already played like 60 matches with the guy.

 

[KayLo!]

Money makes me play worse. Friendlies are totally legit

Any kind of pressure (mm, tourney, whatever) makes me play way worse. I used to get so nervous in tourney, my hands would shake. And I always played worse when people were watching or came over in the middle of a match.

It's why I never did money matches ever, lol. (Okay, maybe one or two that I knew I had no chance of losing....)

 

[Leaf.]

I used to get destroyed by pressure, but recently I've kinda rode off of it.

If anything, it stopped me from having those "give up" moments.

 

[Ussi]

Nah nah na na naaaa you're gonna choke

 

[Roller]

I try in friendlies, but they are what I use to try out new techniques/styles/ideas I have as well. Or use techniques that are not as efficient, but more fun for me/demoralizing to the other player/entertaining to watch. As a result, though I am trying to win in all friendlies I play, I may not be trying to the best of my ability at all times.

And I think Leaf is just as good as Stealth in the ditto, and that pikapika is way better than both of them.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

like, i dont hold back, but the amount of concentration i put into a tourney match is just on a different level then a friendly. im sorry, its not that i sandbag i just dont play as well :/ trust me its not intentional, i HATE people who sandbag me as well. and yes we are tied leaf, i will break that in our mm easy.

 

[Zeroxius]

I couldn't imagine ever actually doing a money match, for fear of playing worse myself. =X

You know, unless someone else pays money for me. Then I'll be fine.

 

[Reizilla]

I used to sandbag all the time, even in tourney. I've gotten better about trying recently, but I tend to choke a lot under pressure :/ I used to not do MMs because of that, but then I realized that the only time I do play well is in MMs x)

I can kinda understand that, I guess it applies better at a higher level, too.

But that all wasn't my point anyways. What you said was Prime was the only one that could beat you, and our score shows that I beat you.

I'm soooooo super honored right now, you just fixed my weekend. :D

 

[KayLo!]

Leaf, did the mods take your avi away for being bondage-y? Lol.

 

[Leaf.]

No, I got rid of it before that happened.
I didn't even think about it until a few days later.

Did they just not notice..?

 

[Wiscus]

How come I can never get away with my bondage-y avatars?
: cries in corner:

 

[KayLo!]

There's bondage-y, and then there's just plain indecent Wisc. =P

 

[Leaf.]

How come I can never get away with my bondage-y avatars?
: cries in corner:

I don't think mine was THAT bad, was it?

 

[KayLo!]

Honestly, the way it was cropped, it took me a minute to figure out what it was. x.x

 

[Wiscus]

Since you are offering me ice cream I feel inclined to agree.
Though I'll still pout.

 

[Reizilla]

If Leaf ever offers any of you a bakie, don't take it. It's always your least favorite. *******.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

and what i say still stands. want to prove me wrong? beat me at whobo. i dont make claims i dont think i can back up. LETS HYPE IT UP SON


also poor thugz is my punching bag. i three stocked his pikachu with samus and the rest of the games were close.....ish

 

[~automatic]

I actually dislike playing Samus as Pika. The matchup feels extremely weird even though it's kinda easy at the same time.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

i find it interesting to play on either side. if you know the matchup its very easy for pikachu. but if the samus can get the read on you **** does it hurt for pikachu LOL

 

[Leaf.]

I always have fun with Pika vs Samus.
I stopped getting read, and had even more fun.

If Leaf ever offers any of you a bakie, don't take it. It's always your least favorite. *******.

LOOOOOL
Bacon flavor cookie anyone?

and what i say still stands. want to prove me wrong? beat me at whobo. i dont make claims i dont think i can back up. LETS HYPE IT UP SON

AWWWWWWW EYYYYYYYEAH
You gonna be at WHOBO?

We need a livestream match. Hype +83

 

[Stealth Raptor]

im gonna try very damn hard LOL mayyyyy be too close to apex, but either way im gonna try

 

[Leaf.]

APEX?

Screw WHOBO. Let's do it there.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

ffffff i was gonna try to make it semi secret that i would be there but **** im there lololol

LUCKAY I WILL GET MY MONEY BACK

 

[PZ]

mhm means many things...MANY!

 

[Cassio]

In friendlies Ill usually try, the biggest difference is Ill push more technical stuff in friendlies so I screw up a lot. My tech skill is bad so in tournament I avoid things Im likely to screw up, although I've still been described as risky.

For pika dittos of the tournament folk this is how my personal order goes...

Pikpik: technically precise but limited in what he'll do. beat me fairly bad
K Prime: great with combos and follow ups, and knowledgable i.e. knowing which attacks or tactics to use at particular times, etc. would barely beat me but did so consistently.
Stealth: great with mixups and spacing. beat me more times than the reverse
Nordal: aggressive but very good at it. beat me in a 3 game pools set, though the last match was tainted with a game changing SD.
Leaf: campy but good at it. beat him more than the reverse.

on wifi Ive also played Brick, FZ, and Volt. Brick is campy, FZ goes for reads, volt is hard to predict.

Also I read this thread on occasion, I just rarely post.

 

[Reizilla]

Hey, I just noticed the thread title

Aren't we 1-1?
I mean, sure, friendlies, but you know.

Actually, Leaf, that win was a fluke. It's really 1-0 in Stealth's favor. You'll have to beat him again before you can earn that first victory.

 

[Leaf.]

LOOOOOOOOL
Rei shut up. I've seen that word enough for this weekend.

 

[Ussi]

Samus vs Pika... *zair over pika's head* lalala

 

[Stealth Raptor]

if you are perfect it hits. hard as **** though

 

[KayLo!]

Pikpik: technically precise but limited in what he'll do. beat me fairly bad

You've got to be joking @"technically precise". That's like.... the opposite of his playstyle.

From what I've seen and talked to him about, he's way more about reading people and punishing their dumb habits. (In fact, his overall tech skill kinda sucks considering how good he is.)

 

[~automatic]

Wasn't Pikapik unable to buffer grabs until recently? I'm pretty sure I saw a post saying that not too long ago.

I think I only played Pika dittos against Stealth and Thug at Genesis. I think I played low tier against everyone else's Pika and Lucario against Roller's ICs once he treated my Pikachu like a lawn dart.

 

[Roller]

Yeah, I'll ride pp's **** all day in the ditto and ICs matchup, but he is NOT the most technical pika. At all. Prime, thrz, esam, leaf, stealth, all the decent pikas for the most part are more technical. Heck, mine is more technical. But the majority of us use the tech skill as a crutch and as such don't put as much stock into the basics of the game. PP is good because of his reading and adaptability. Not because of pika gimmicks.

 

[PikaPika!]

Went to KTAR proved I'm *** quitting this game again till maybe apex.

 

[Pikabunz]

Who'd you beat/lose to? 33rd/130 ain't that bad.

 

[PikaPika!]

Also my tech skill is the worst of any semi decent pikachu player

 

[PikaPika!]

Who'd you beat/lose to? 33rd/130 ain't that bad.

I lost to malcolm is all I really remember
