A set that I played in the Gigabits tournament this past weekend was recorded during the low tier tournament and I would like to get some feedback on my pika.
These matches were really good and intense and I would appreciate peoples opinion's.
Please don't criticize too much becuase this was actually like the second time ive ever played pikachu and I had never played him in a tournament before.
Check them out!

I watched them the day you posted, even though it was your 2nd time playing with Pikachu.

Stop trying to grab your opponent so much, and when you do you really don't do much to follow it up with anything else. You shfflnair a lot to the point that you become predictable as well.

I didn't like the matches that much, they bored me. But I like the speed of your pika when it moves around, use that speed to string your combos a lot more, because there were times when I saw that you could've gain momentum easily but you didn't.

I'll watch the matches again to give you some better critique though.

Not enough pressure at the edge, you should really aim more for easy Uair spikes. Also, don't always approach with Nair, and stop rolling afterward, it seems like you hold your L/R button too long.

Maybe one little more advice, work on some reset combos. Ex: SHFFLE Fair -> jab -> dthrow -> Usmash. The kind of stuff that gives more damage than just Uthrow -> Uair.

Your speed is good, but work on not rolling too much and more pressure !

Yeah, I knew i had to do that, but this ness was really tricky and if I did anything but up throw him he would punish me, thanks for the feedback though.
