Hey, my buddy and I do 2v2s a bit online, and we've recently started playing a team that has a pikachu player. He literally uses 3 moves: the downsmash, the fsmash, and downb. He has a fine time spamming these three moves, and the problem is that because of the nature of the 2v2, it works quite well. The downsmash especially causes a lot of headaches; it lasts a disgusting amount of time, sucks opponents in, and has enough knockback to interrupt the flow of the match. The thunder move is also a problem, as if you're airborne while he spams it, it is completely unpunishable (it also lasts forever, and pika suffers almost no lag afterwards.). I know for a fact that in 1v1s, the dude would get himself destroyed (at least if he plays the way he does in 2v2s); with 2v2s, however, it seems as though these moves are perfectly permissible. What kinds of things can we do to counter this? I ask because I figure pikachu players would be best suited to comment on their own character. I myself either play marth or ike, and my 2nd mains metaknight. I'm willing to switch characters/spam noobishly if that's what it takes (after all, 2v2s on wifi arent serious matches); I just need to know where to go.
