And Judge has beaten Anther the last like 5 times they've played in tourney. But I could realistically see ESAM winning it.
PZ

Of course but im just miss watching anther play=(
Roller

I wasn't refuting the fact that Anther would be one who would be a challenge for ESAM as well. He would be.

No...he wouldn't be >_> I would go ICs :D
Roller
Smash Legend
...You do realize that Anther is dominant at that mu right? The only one he loses to is Lain. And even if you did manage to get a game off his pika. He is arguably the best ICs at the ditto.

Doesn't anther still beat lain? or was that just the old days

We can cg him past 100% then end with a footstool>QA>charged fsmash.

I was practicing that on wolf and I couldn't get the footstool. How does you do it prime?
Pikabunz
Smash Hero
You have to buffer both a dash and jump and press jump again after the first jump starts.
Hael Phael

hmm haven't tried the footstool i need to do that later

I'm gonna work on this and the dthrow ->uair->footstool shenanigans once I'm done with school ****. Which ends in 2 weeks. =P

I still don't like how its -4 but cf is basically good as done if grabbed.
I like his dthrow better though.

He can't really get in and his speed is nullified becuase of our projectile and then we can basically Shield Grab everything.
Roller, work on the D-throw footstool first, and then the MK D-throw uair footstool (Since you don't have to dash) before you start working on other characters. Trust me.

Wait. You don't have to buffer dash for the other footstool? Just buffer jump?
[FBC] ESAM
Smash Legend
You buffer dash and then spam jump, because you go up faster with a DJ, so do the dash JUMP JUMP JUMP

What are the conditions for that to work? Does anyone know the percents for it?
[FBC] ESAM
Smash Legend
It's the last throw...so memorize the area. Around fox it is the throw before he would breach 100%. On any other character...I have no idea. I think Wolf is like 2 after he passes 100%.
Roller
Smash Legend
I always Finish vs Wolf on the throw before 114-115%, so use that for him. Is the best follow up for it QAC into him->jab->charge f-smash?
[FBC] ESAM
Smash Legend
You should jab 7 times because 7 + 1 (QA) + 1 (F-smash) = 9 so your D-throw is refreshed.

Oh DAMN. That attention to detail. I like it.

@ 0:57 Anyone else see how fast he brings his shield up after landing?

It's from throwing the grenade before landing.

Hey, I'm trying to work on my fthrow cg's/combos and I can't figure out when to buffer the dash. Anyone got anything for that?
Pikabunz
Smash Hero
Buffer about right after the sparks stop.
KayLo!
Smarter than your average wabbit.
I hate how I never had a problem with the fthrow CG, but I would always mess up the dthrow one. You'd think the dthrow one would be easier to buffer.
[FBC] ESAM
Smash Legend
Yeah, input the dash right after Pikachu kicks his rear legs up and throws them off his back.
I think the ROB MU is +1 Pikachu. His tilts aren't that fast or scary, and once Pikachu gets in he kinda wrecks. Your projectiles are easy to see coming and your lack of mobility really hinders you. Your range is still good, but not as amazing as we thought at the beginning of the metagame. Slight advantage for pikachu, and I can't imagine anything more.

It's the complete opposite for me. I have to practice fthrows for about 5 minutes straight before I can do them right, and I still mess up fairly often.I hate how I never had a problem with the fthrow CG, but I would always mess up the dthrow one. You'd think the dthrow one would be easier to buffer.
I can at least dthrow consistently right off the start.

Really? I find all of pikas cg's incredibly easy.

Someone mind giving a quick explanation why brinstar is a bad stage for pikachu
Pikabunz
Smash Hero
-The small size of the stage makes it easier to hit Pikachu
-Pika dies earlier
-Jolts get canceled out by the breakable parts of the stage
-The lava can break your cg
-The breakable middle part of the stage can stop your fthrow cg and your ground approaches
-It's harder to get gimp/edge guard kills because the lava can save the opponent

Two quick questions:
1. What characters is D throw->Nair not guaranteed on? I've been trying to do it to diddy but he keeps jumping before the Nair hits him. I don't think I'm buffering it incorrectly (or maybe I am, who knows) since the same person can't replicate it with metaknight and it occurred to me that I really don't know if it's guaranteed on diddy.
2. What frame(s) does pikachu's long glide toss come out on?
