So, I played with Anther recently, and he inspired me to pick up pikachu. I also have a hard time against Snake with my GW and ICs, so I picked up pika for this match-up as well.

Now, I have only been playing Pika for two days, so don't be too harsh XD. I do learn fast and understand this game very well though :).

Without further hyping this up(lol), I present to you:


Hylian(Pikachu) vs Rayzorium(Ike)

Hylian(Pika) vs Rayzorium(Marth)

My Pikachu.


Enjoy :).

Oh-Ho, nice timing on that Headbutt at the end of the Marth vid. I laughed so much I thought I'd wake someone up.

noooo hylian once you jump on the pikachu bandwagon everyone will want to play as pikachu...

Very nice timing on the QAC for only playing 2 days. I can already see some new uses of QAC from your play.

btw, its rare, but look out for situations where opponents have to tech. QACing through them like what you love to do locks them in. :)

I would say more, but its tough because your opponent isn't that good (or is on an off-day). Maybe I'm spoiled by watching people like overswarm who powershields everyone one of pikachu's attacks and punishes any landing lag, but... yeah, your opponent... doesn't really count.

I would say get familiar with all the quirks of pikachu, especially the lag times. For instance, try to auto-cancel all your aerials (sh nair and fair, full-hopped bair). Also, QAC -> jump actually has landing lag if you don't do anything; cancel it with a thunderjolt or an fair. Finally, QAC spamming may not work on fast attacking characters like ROB, whose dsmash is actually faster than pikachu's dsmash - so learn which characters can punish your QAC.

not that it will help, but it may give you suggestions on things you can do with Pikachu - *haha, my fugly pikachu video* http://youtube.com/watch?v=08orVEALkr0

Have fun with Pikachu! (not that you aren't already with QAC...)

Thanks :). I think I am pretty sloppy with Pika. I throw out attacks too much. I will work on my precision.

My goal is to be at the point where I am constantly attacking and pressuring people with QAC and other things while not leaving myself open much.

That's some nice QAC'ing. I've been playing Pikachu for some time now, and I still haven't gotten the hang of QAC.

Very nice Pikachu for only 2 days.

a good pika. i would definately try and deal more damage against ike with thunderjolt and spamming the dsmash. heavier characters i use the QAC less since it is easier to rack up more damage by getting in close, smashing, thunderjolting, and grabbing. faster charcters, like marth, i would use the QAC more than the heavier characters. overall, u have a god pika after 2 days.

good pika dood, just dont QAC so much, you are vulnerable throughout the whole process.
thats like ike users who think sideB gets them around faster, it ends up hurting more than it helps!!

Woah let's not get carried away. QACing everywhere =/= amazing. Good for two days but if thats the best pikachu you've ever seen then go watch Anther.

He hast that spoken his words of wisdom. Soak them, for he is the new mew2king, and here to reign.

Oh, and Hylian, your Pika is good ^.^ I can't honestly say I've ever been addicted to getting my *** kicked by someone until I played you XD (Though, I guess I did win all but 3 rounds...) You are seriously fun to play, and very polite about it. Can't say I don't love that ^.^ Also good to see a great player teach Birds, we had no idea what to tell her about Pikachu XD

Wow, almost as good as your ice climbers lol.

My only comment would be don't over use QuAC, another good player (like yourself) Will catch on and capitalize on it. other than that you are great. especially with QA edge hogging.
