Pika Q&A/FAQ Thread: Ask a Quick Question, Get a Quick Answer!

[infiniteV115]

Of course this is a troll thread. What, did you guys think Angiance has been making serious posts this whole time?

 

[Angiance]

I'm sure I can make better posts about my main (Pikachu) then you, nooblet

 

[Ookami Hajime]

April fools! We're all just kidding right?
Giggles, yes? Jokes?
Fun?

 

[Angiance]

Yeah, V115's Pikachu is the joke, and I'm laughing pretty hard at it

 

[Ookami Hajime]

Why can't we all just get along, people?
WE ARE THE SAME SPECIES

 

[M15t3R E]

Let's all stop bickering like children whether you are one or not and continue to use this thread as intended.

 

[hell-dew]

Lol V has a pretty good pikachu your being pretty assumptions and makeing your self look kinda silly. your also failing to realize that his ZSS is just really really good and hes more comfortable with it which is why he doesnt spend as much time on his chu. hes still a high level player who can easily put that skill set into the char if he wanted to

 

[Ookami Hajime]

I agree with the above statements =I

 

[Angiance]

He called my posts a joke, so I'm just stating the following: I POSSES FAR MORE INFORMATION ON MY CHARACTER THAN YOU DO, DON'T COME IN HERE DOWNING ME JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF ME

That kinda stuff pisses me off

 

[1PokeMastr]

I know a lot about every character in the game.

But I only use like... 2 seriously.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

All right though guys, in all seriousness, let's all try to be more friendly to each other. I'm not trying to be that super annoying peacemaker, but I don't like seeing people all agitated like this all the time

 

[1PokeMastr]

I actually don't know who is agitated here, everytime I type.. and I assume when V115 types.

We're all super calm.

Ideas about the Olimar Mu ?

 

[Ookami Hajime]

I'm not agitated either, and if you say so, then that's fantastic.

What do you mean by ideas?

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

I like when this happens :3

I would trust V's pikachu over Angiance's in performance. Maybe not knowledge, but performance for sure.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

Gwaaaaaaaaah, you people are crazy =I
ESAM, if I linked you to a video, would you critique any matches of mine? In fact, critique isn't a good word for it. Maybe give me some pointers? Not just on Pika, but Brawl in general? You too V115 if you happen to see this, haha
If not, that's no problem. Thanks anyway

 

[Angiance]

I wanna help :<

Also, against other pikas my intent isn't to beat them; my intent is to exhange techniques

I'd appreciate that a lot, Bell =o

 

[Angiance]

Alright, just give me the link, I'll pinpoint some things for ya ^ - ^

Also, NOBODY has seen my offline gameplay, I'd actually put my skill level directly next to ESAM/Anther. By the few who've seen me play, I've been complimented on my spacing, tech skill, and comeback factor

 

[infiniteV115]

k I'll stop being so instigative for the sake of this thread

ESAM will probably give better advice (cause he's both a better player and a better Pikachu) but I'd love to anyway if you send it to me

That's fair, but
1) ESAM and Anther aren't even on the same skill level...
2) Generally, people with no offline tournament experience (and by generally I mean pretty much literally every person except Salem) are still low-level players. A lot of people think they're amazing until they start going to offline tournaments (this is why you see a lot of people get bodied at their first tournament and then never show up again, even if they have extensive Wifi experience under their belt). If you want us to believe you when you talk about your skill level, you'll have to prove it to us by getting offline tournament results.

eg I had people telling me they thought I was better than Salem before Apex 2013...then he got 1st and I got 97th XD

 

[Ookami Hajime]

I really appreciate it!

 

[Angiance]

My first tourney about a month or so ago, I got 3rd simply because I HAD to leave (damn Brawl for taking so long). I know my potential because of how persistent I am, plus I've been in World Wide top 10s before, I ain't no quitter

I DO understand what you're saying though, I'd thoroughly enjoy being able to make it to an Apex, SKTAR, or WHOBO to get my ass kicked and improve...but hey, Smash 4 is gonna have actually GOOD Wi-Fi (NO BUTTON DELAY) so I'll just rely on that to display my skills

I'll also make a prediction right here: I will become a top 10 Pikachu in smash 4 (although I could care less about rankings, I just like to play)

There is a terribly underused thread for video critiques. It's stickied. I used to be quite active on that thread when there were more people trying to better their pikachu than there apparently are now.

Often true, but then there's Ally.

In truth, I wouldn't use those threads simply because I'd only want to be crtiqued by people like you guys. AKA people I like or are familiar with.
That's right guys. You people are great, haha

@ Angiance : Better watch out, my friend. You'll have competition unless I decide to main someone else. Even if I do pick up a new main for smash 4, I'll still pick up Pika.

 

[M15t3R E]

I am excited about the prospect of a Pikachu in faster physics that still retains QAC. Hence, I love to play Brawl+ and Project M. Pikachu will be my main once again in the next Smash Bros.

 

[Angiance]

We can exchange many techniques in smash 4, and frequently learn from each other. This is gonna be great ^ - ^

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

I generally don't critique mid/low level matches because the general playstyles are all wrong and if I'm going to actually critique it is a long time commitment...and I'm really busy. Sorry...

 

[Ookami Hajime]

@ESAM: I figured as much, haha. That's fine, thank you very much though =o

@ Angiance : Gwaaah, you people are the reason I want to stay a Pika main, haha. We'll see though ^^

@ M15t3R E : That does sound nice. From what you've seen, do you think smash 4 will be faster paced?
I love PM but it's guaranteed Sakurai won't reintroduce wave dashing or l-canceling or any of those past techniques unless by flaw. Regardless of that, I'm hoping for the best. I don't think it 100% needs those things to be a good game. After all, brawl is pretty great.

 

[Mr.Pikachu]

I'll critique your pikachu (or character) Ookami

 

[Ookami Hajime]

Thanks =o
I appreciate it

 

[1PokeMastr]

Esam, will you critique my Pikachu is smash 64 ?

I've finally got the hang of thundering down.

What's to critique? You sound ready to take on the world.

I thought you were dead.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

Sakurai's picture of the day features thunder's new mechanics and I really don't know if it is a buff or a nerf. Thunder spikes now =o
But the way it's explained makes it seem like it's either only the cloud that spikes or only T1 in general. If it's T1 overall, I definitely consider it a nerf.
Discuss?

 

[Angiance]

It's a nerf because we won't be able to KO off of the top...is what I THOUGHT, until I realized that we could Thunder > U-Smash with that kind of hitbox

 

[hell-dew]

Um thunder offstage. Plus in doubles the spike sounds totally fun Poke we gotta try a DK pikachu team again with that...

 

[Angiance]

I'm extremely excited that there will be many comboes in this more depth oriented smash. Actually, I feel like it'll be completely customizable for if one wants to play casually or proffesionally

 

[Ookami Hajime]

DI interrupts that combo potential a lot though. Not nearly as efficient a tool onstage, but I actually love the thought of the offstage spike =o
Still, it could just be the cloud. Go check it out!

 

[1PokeMastr]

Sakurai DID say that it creates a cloud that has a meteor smash in it.

Keyword is cloud.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

I suppose, yes.
Do you guys like this idea?

 

[1PokeMastr]

It sounds somewhat useful if you hit with the spike, it could work in a similar fashion to Zero Suit's Up B
