Ditto.... however, in the video's i've seen (Rush Hour double pichu attack ) the pichus combo pretty well.Anyway... Pichu abuse thread in a board where we appreciate [worship?...] Pichu isn't such a great idea.
Me, you. 100$ money match.I'm bored, and feeling mean, so this is the forum dedicated to Pichu-abuse. Enjoy.
True, I totally forgot about the non-tourney aspects of the game. Thanks for clearing that up for me. By the way, why does the trophy say that Pichu is especially good for handicapped matches? What advantage does Pichu gain from being in a handicapped match?I think they thought they balanced Pichu out by giving him his F-Smash and making him so hard to hit in ffa's. (meant to be a party game)
"I don't play fox or pichu."Just out of curiosity, what were the developers thinking when they made Fox and Pichu in the same game? Fox has the advantage in everything except recovery. I don't see the balance. Even taking the unforeseen offensive capabilities of the shine out of the equation, Fox has weight, doesn't damage himself, a better Up Smash, more range, stronger aerials, better tilts, a better grab game, more mobility, and a way to counter that one projectile Pichu can throw at him. I guess the developers overestimated the advantage generated from Pichu's small size and recovery.
in the rules, there's a handicap option, if you turn it on, you could give pichu a handicap of 9, and your opponent(preferably marth) a handicap of one, then wreak havocBy the way, why does the trophy say that Pichu is especially good for handicapped matches?

Fox combos Pichu very easily (as he does with practically every character), not to mention that Pichu gets combo-***** by practically every character. Pichu really has to work hard for a lot less damage in his combos. Fox doesn't need to combo? Well, duh, if all you have to do is press down+B and one-hit kill someone--no, he doesn't, but he can and will.Fox cannot combo Pichu as easily, so Pichu's combos > Fox's combos a bit I believe. Then again, Fox doesn't need to combo, just laser, shine, repeat, then up smash. XD

Pichu is really light, but it seems like every character can combo him very easily because he kind of just flips around in front of their face. When you play against really good players DI isn't going to do much for you, they'll move right along with you and hit you up to about 50% or so and next time they hit you hard you'll be KO'd because of Pichu's low weight.the trophy is saying pichu is a handicap.
EDIT:
Tommy, hey, which of foxes moves combo well on pichu, I can DI out of just about everything since Pichu is so light... And for a person with the title of one of the best Pichus in the world I still don't understand how you can call him terrible. Pichu's bad but he's not that bad.
Thats silly you act like there is not meduim between bing comboed and being dead. I don't play agianst mediocere players who can't follow a tech or DI often times getting out of a combo are simple as holding away from that character and letting yourself go off the stange where you can recover or DIing a hit far enough so you can sopt tech or just fall and wait for a safe way to stand. I've played very good foxes I've been beaten by a few, but none have been able to effectively combo me.Pichu is really light, but it seems like every character can combo him very easily because he kind of just flips around in front of their face.

Here you are just wrong... saying pichu can't DI out of a combo but other characters can is hypocrytical in a sence. Pichu's speed and agility make it very easy to follow DI espeacally when so many of his aerials have very little knock back. On that same not Pichus great running speed make it easy to literally follow up techs into grabs or smashes, even from characters like fox.Likewise, every character can DI out of Pichu's combos, so you have to be that much faster and more accurate (and tricky).
I too have put tons of time and effort into make pichu an effective character. He has his flaws but what character doesn't? Smash isn't about playing with your weakness but playing around them thats why other characters can do so well. If people dwelled on foxes weight or Samus' speed those characters would as be ranked very low.I put a lot of time into playing Pichu and can do very well with him (I was doing $10 money matches at the last TANG versus Fox players), but I can choose any other character and do just as good or better than I can with my Pichu.
The best argument on this thread. <3, Airo, and T0mmy know what they are talking about, everyone else does not. I suggest the mods close this thread.most people here take too much influence from the tier list and hardly move out of their house to play. they post on forums, learn a few terms and start talking shux.
like a kid that lies to an adult
"yesterday, my friend from school, like baught twilight princess and beat it in like.. 2 weeks."
it is very obvious that you guys really have no idea what you are talking about.
some of you just phail to see that there is complicity and a higher level of metagame for every character
It's funny that you cited Fox's weakness as his weight when...yeah. Anyway, of course Pichu can win, nobody's saying he can't. It's just that Pichu has so many weaknesses to overcome compared to many other characters that in order to play around those weaknesses, you have to be at an extremely high echelon of skill compared to the other player. That's why Pichu isn't a good character.I too have put tons of time and effort into make pichu an effective character. He has his flaws but what character doesn't?

I mean don't get me wrong pichu isn't a great character but every time I see him mentioned I can help but think the only reason he's put down is because people don't know how to play him at all, its similar to how you'll hear ICs are horrible or jigglypuff is weak, they don't play them os they couldn't know.
Okay, I'll stop it here these last to pharagraphs have just been idealistic rambling. But if anyone should understand the pros of pichu it should definitely be you, a person concidered by most as one of, if not the best pichu players out there. With this pichu can't win mindset you won't go much further than you've already gone.
He hit me while rising in his jumps so I couldn't smash DI to avoid the second hit, it was also from zero so I didn't have that extra knock back to really help out.T0mmy said:That's funny, Fox's U-air is one of the only attacks I can DI out of well. Smash DI out of the first hit and the second one will miss you.
What I'm saying is pretty much what 1048576 said. Pichu has so many disadvantages you have to be that much better in every situation. This is why "Pichu stinks".
