That Forward tilt... I love it
Thanks for posting this! :D

 

[standardtoaster]

You're welcome.

 

[oukd]

Awww yeeeaah, pika finally has the hitbox treatment. Thanks for these dude.

Utilt isn't as bad as I thought. Less lag than ftilt.nvm utilt sucks omg

 

[N64]

Neat! Thanks for putting these up.

 

[indigestible_wad]

I'm saddened by the sheer amount of cool-down lag that pikachu has on pretty much every one of his attacks.

 

[DerfMidWest]

thats why I use Pichu.

 

[Diggs]

Nice name,plus i'm just starting pikachu and this really helped

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

Surprised at all the lag on every aerial but nair, kinda sad

 

[Spyro]

I knew Pikachu had poor grab rang but dang, I did not know it was that bad.

 

[Mr. Bean]

trying to grab with pikachu as a marth main is a little annoying

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

These gifs should be done without the pikachu texture. It is hard to notice otherwise that pikachu's Uair is extremely disjointed.

 

[LLLLegion]

That ftilt tho

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

Could you please add Pikachu's tech rolls and get-up as well?

Practice your boostgrabs oos

 

[ChivalRuse]

Practice your boostgrabs oos

In my experience, getting grabs on Marth isn't that important in the matchup. Catching him with a rising uair to start a combo tends to be almost equally rewarding, and easier to set up. But I find wavedash out of shield to be more useful than dropping shield on average.
