Oh don't worry my sanity went out the window long ago. So I guess I'll fit right in?
Most likely. =P Everyone's always seemed pretty friendly on the Pika boards as far as I've seen. ^^ Welcome altairian.

@KayLo-Yeah, I've been to the Drexel game room before. Would it be ok for me to join you guys to play sometimes even though I'm not part of ToS? ^^;

Pretty sick stuff, the pika combo toward the end with the QaC Uair in the middle was really sick. My only gripe was in high quality the top and bottom of the screen were cut off.

Thanks! My first matchup knowledge with him is gonna be against toon link o.O (sasukebowser). He was pretty good last time I played him, I look forward to seeing how he's improved (which I'll measure with my peach since pika is new and yoshi gets ***** by tl).

I used Pikachu before he was cool. :<
Yeah so did I.
Anyways welcome aboard fellow truckerchu trainer. I also mained Yoshi at some point.
Pika does well IMO against TL (55/45 pika anyone?) but SB is pretty good so watch out.

BTW isn't he the best TL here in SoCal? Rock does pretty good but isn't SB better. awnser pl0x.

I played soooo many matches with MikeHaze! Those matches were so fun, for me at least. I think I enjoy losing, lol. I probably only won like 5 of my matches out of the 237448 we played. I only saved some of the matches. I didn't bother saving matches where we got stupid SDs or where he was doing some obvious sandbagging, he did it a lot. x.x I even got some replays where I got 3 stocked. :( I did a lot better than I thought I would, especially the last few matches we did. :) I played pretty dumb in most of the matches though, like doing really stupid QA movements and falling for the same thing over and over with my predictable spot dodging. I couldn't help it! I did really well on my DI though, as did he. I was surviving at high percents on a lot of my stocks. I'm so glad I got to play him. Very fun person to play and he's also a pretty cool guy. I feel so much comfortable with the Marth MU now. :) I don't know when the vids will be up. That's all up to Espy since the replays were saved on his wii.

So yeah, I got wrecked but I learned a lot. Any questions?

Since he's not getting banned, and *****ing about him isn't going to help, I decided to make him a strong secondary.

Although Pika's pretty viable on his own, Pika + Zelda still isn't a great combination for tournaments. I needed a better secondary.

I've failed at playing Snake too many times to count, playing DDD bores me to tears, and the fact is that MK is the best secondary for any character.... so. Yeah. If I'm going to be serious about tournies when I get back, there's no reason not to pick him up for real. Besides that, playing as MK will help me know the matchup better for Pikachu and whoever else I decide to play.

But Pika's my main for life. <333

I'll be using MK more often nowadays to get practice with him, though. Zelda's going on the back burner for a while since she's really only useful for low tiers..... :urg:

Still, you might want to practice a LOT with mk before he's a worthy secondary. Most people pick him thinking, "Oh lol, he'll win me the match since he's so good, even though I rarely play him."

Any player worth his salt can beat a person who rarely plays mk and picks him. lol.


Tbh, Mk is much better as a main, but that's just my opinion.

Give my intelligence a little more credit. I'm not the greatest player ever, but I don't play into scrub mentality.

I know, but I just felt like saying it anyway. :p

Just a little warning, like telling someone who is walking by a shark pool, "Don't jump in there, they'll kill you." It's common sense.

then you give him some ***/**** and tell him sharks are friends. Enjoy the show, then clean up afterwards.

Gotcha. <3

MK is still the best secondary for Pika, though, if you were implying otherwise in your post before last. If you can play him as well as you can anyone else, he will cover your bad matchups better than any other character will. That's just the sad truth.

I was sort of holding out for a day when he might get banned, but it's becoming obvious that that's not ever going to happen. :(

EDIT: Because I feel like it, and I love this commercial, lol.
