As you may know, @
Amazing Ampharos
has been trying to coordinate an easy and convenient method for legalizing custom moves in tournaments. In order for this method to work, each character must have 8 "standard" custom loadouts (not including 1111, the default set) for quick selection at tournaments. 2 slots will remain open in each Wii U for uploading custom sets outside of these 8.
Pikachu may not be the strongest in terms of custom moves, but we should still do our best to come up with 8 custom movesets for Pikachu players to use in tournament. The process of deciding should be quick and easy, but hopefully we can get some discussion going about the different uses of Pikachu's customs for matchups. We might end up discovering things that no one knew before!
Please make all suggestions in a 4-digit format (Neutral, Side, Up, Down special), such as 1111, the default set, but do not suggest the default set as it is available on every Wii U anyway.
I will start by suggesting three sets to demonstrate the format:
1311 - standard Pikachu is very strong, so I kept all the standard moves for this set, but Heavy Skull Bash is a great option to use to get quick KOs--it addresses one of Pikachu's (perceived) biggest problems (netting easy KOs).
2311 - Same as above but replaced Thunderjolt with Thunder Wave, which has less distance but can paralyze--another neat way to get some quick KOs, though maybe not as useful as Thunderjolt because you can't run up and grab quite as easily (or use it from as far away)
3311 - replaced Thunderjolt with Thunder Shock: the direction of this move is more useful in some matchups, and it might be better for teams overall because of blast at the end of the move
What suggestions do you have? Let's discuss!
