I see you haven't worked on your mean face either. No need to be salty with me bout that haha. I'm just pointing it out that you acting pretty salty atm Did you have too many drinks? XD
The only thing about seeing me in an apron is that it'll never happen. I'd never be a good kitchen person anyway cause I'd be messing up everything. Although, you could wear this scottish skirt I found recently I think you'd love wearing it, especially for your Primey-poo
Edit cause I'm slow: OH ****! KAYLO JUST GOT MAD SALTY!
a kick in THAT place could still be effective, without spending all that money. :/
also breathing fire?! what the hax - *watches kaylo's angry face*
...lololol. you're not scaring anyoneee~
I would swallow your reservations about online and actually play a few of us on wifi. That would be the easiest, quickest, and least painful way to improve your pika. Otherwise youre going to have to deal with losing before you start winning.
[P.S. Also dont listen to stealth. If youre really the best samus or at least one of the best, then you will eventually have success with pika. Right now it looks like you dont know him or his options that well, but thats something thats learned with experience.]
And I understand pikas kill moves arent the most suprising, but Ive always found his ability to kill to be on par with most of the characters in A and S tier. Killings never really an easy task, unless youre Snake or MK.
Annnnd even though he has an abnormally large ego, ESAM probably is one of the better pikachus. Aside from Anther and bear he's probably the only one that has many videos. I mean no ones ever going to compare to anther, but as far as other good pikas go ESAM is one of the few I would recommend watching videos of. Unless you can get ahold of videos from Prime, bear, or PP!, and maybe possibly stealth. The rest of us kind of suck, unless theres someone Im unaware of.

Tag, I know you have bias against me because you three stocked me on WIFI (yeah, I hope you're proud) the first time I had played it with Pika. But seriously, how often do you have to be wrong? ESAM is special.... why? Stop falling for the hype that is his incredibly inflated ego.
The "I want to be friends with all the pikas!" front is getting old.
I don't mind sucking, just be realistic with the people you name. Stealth? <3 Stealth but Tag must seriously have something against me. lol

o= I didnt mention you at all. I wouldnt have bothered if it was just you . Anyways, callllllm down. Apparently you seem to think its ok for multiple people to write tirades against one person, but for me to write a non-confrontational defense is over the line. I didn't fall into any hype, I've known he was good well before most people even started posting here or playing pika competitively. He didn't express his ego traits then, and I was one of the first to give him heat when he tried to name that uair combo after himself. I dont really mind people bashing his ego trips, but if you say his pika isnt one of the better ones Im going to argue that youre wrong.
Also, Im not trying to compare him to Prime or Anther, only saying that hes one of the better pikas. If it makes everyone feel better Ill add that he's one of the better ones Iknow about. Something like this:
Anther
-----
Pikapika!
Prime/Bear
(maybe others I dont know)
---
ESAM
maybe stealth
(most likely others I dont know)
----
other people I do know and dont know/haven't played/don't have tourney results I know of
Why is ESAM special, or rather what am I basing that from? Tournament results and my personal experience in playing their pikas.
[also kenny im not sure why you bring up the 3 - stock. It's so long ago even I say it as a joke. I've 3-stocked several people on these boards and been 3 - stocked, especially by some people on that list. But if youre really still raw about it just play me again, I really havent been playing much in the last 3 months so maybe you can return the favor ]
Also, I dont see why people unnecessarily bash wifi. If youre going to bash something bash laggy connections and long distances; but adhd, anti, toilethumor, and ally (to name a few) are all wifi players.

Afaik, they all (minus toilethumor.... I know nothing about him) also do really well offline, which is what matters and is the true measure of their skill.
Wifi is balls. It's fun sometimes, but it really isn't good for anything but matchup experience, and even that's debatable. People play differently online -- for example, a lot of Pikas play more grounded and less mobile on wifi because that's what's safer in lag. So really, how much matchup experience are you actually getting when someone is playing like a statue compared to normal because of wifi?
There are very few people who can play like they do offline on wifi, so unless you have access to those few, you're getting a watered-down version of anything you could get offline. Stealth, I know you wanna jump in and say otherwise, but I'm telling you that 90% of the people you play online would play a lot differently offline. Even "good" online players adjust their playstyle to account for lag -- you have to when there's button lag.
Just saying. That's why people bash wifi. But I can get plenty of offline practice if I want to, so maybe I just have no sympathy for people who have online as their only option. Sucks for them.
@ESAM/ranking Pikas debate: Friendly debate is fine, but this is just a pre-warning against bashing/flaming anyone from here on.
Tag, your list is whatever, but the truth is that none of us have any idea what the "true" rankings are, because we're all spread out and play different people in different regions and rarely play each other offline. ESAM might be good, but he's ONLY in FL. The only Pikas who go OOS and place at least somewhat well consistently are Anther, Bear, and I'm adding PikaPika since he played at Apex, which was fairly large in terms of the pros who went.
ESAM's ego does invite flaming, though. He's good, but to say he's "nationally acclaimed" is so outrageous that I literally lol'd for about five minutes. The vids I've seen of him vs. anyone besides his brother haven't been that impressive, if you want my honest opinion, and I do think he's a tad overrated despite being a good player.
Thanks! I might change the "KayLo!" to blue.... something about the pink after my turquoise text throws me off. (I'm a girl, these things bother me, lol.)

lol, I brought the three stock up because I found it laughable that you could name stealth but not me. I was trying to see how you could possibly justify that claim. Bear and ESAM are debatable. (idk how much Bear goes pika but our pikas are probably about the same now.)
=o
I wasn't bashing wifi at all. I think it's a legitimate source of practice as well.
This doesnt have anything to do with playstyle. Only that online success generally translates to offline success. Plenty of pros have shown this. Generally people who bash wifi have *cough* bad connections. Saying that its only good for matchup experience is just...incorrect. The very same thing could be said for any match that isnt a tourney match. In any case, it goes against what wifi players have proven when they decide to suddenly show up to offline tournaments and do well.
Also, Florida is a strong smash region, maybe not as strong as it was in melee (still as egotistical), but as far as concentrated regions go its probably slightly less then socal [/bias]. Anyways, its a way of ranking a persons skill if they can do well in a particular region. And its a lot more then the rest of us pikas do, so I didnt find it that hard to find some separation.
Also kenny I brought up stealth because he's also done well within his region, but his area doesnt compare to Florida, which is why I said maybe.
