Can someone please tell me how this MU goes? My roommate plays a very defensive Falcon, and I find it extremely difficult to fight him. I lose most of the time, though we go somewhat evenly as we play.
Help?

Generally speaking, T. Jolt isn't that great of a projectile and isn't required for most matchups. Quick Attack, however, is the cornerstone of all of Pika's offense. ESAM recently put up a video on Pika's neutral--in essence, Pika's best normals are Fair, Nair, Dair, Dtilt, and Fsmash, but none of them have good range except Fsmash, even though they're all relatively safe and fast moves. In order to get Falcon to open up, you have to establish that you're a threat from all ranges, which is where Quick Attack comes in.Hm...well, in all honesty, I refrain from using T.Jolt/QA because I really wouldn't like becoming overly reliant on them-but if it's truly mandatory for this MU then...
^This. You can crouch under dash grab and dash attack which are some of Falcon's main combo starters and punishes making this really awful for Falcon.Isn't this matchup 7-3 in Pika's favor? I've seen Fatality take several hard losses to Esam, not just at MVG Frame Perfect Series. Many of his moves seem to go right over Pika's head.
That's odd that he can sometimes scoop you up...At some ranges falcon can still dash grab pikachu's crouches
I dislike this matchup a lot because it feels like falcon punishes me for pressing buttons, but if I try to be more reactive, I just get dash grabbed.
I feel like it is good to wait it out at the ledge because he needs the boost from dash grab in order to kill you from knee, he doesn't get any followups if you ledge camp him at early percents
It sucks when you die at 50 to a dash grab
It sucks for falcon dying at 30 offstage as well.... really hate this matchup from both sides
I wish that there was some ESAM footage to study for this matchup
