Rantachu—Come Rant Here!

Come vent your woes and distresses here while this thread isn't dead!

I don't know about ya'll but my Pikachu isn't optimal with a smidgen of input lag, literally a smidge affects my QA angles and set-ups which makes For Glory frustrating. But, when transitioned to the WiiU the muscle memory kicks in anyway! :D

Well this goes up a notch, but the more I main and lose with Pikachu, the more I feel I need to step up the mind-games and pattern-reading... but I just, don't know how to git gud at it! A predictable pikachu is a dead one! So, I recently tried to combat the incoming FFairs with pikacopters instead catching people off guard.

Oh man, you know what sucks, when Thunder wall saves someone who didn't realize they lost their jump.

Is Pikachu S4 the Sonic of Brawl?

That Damage % number is such a kick in the pikanuts! After getting someone to 200%+ and finally landing a Nair kill, and they come back at 0%... it's just like... a fq me feeling huh? The struggle.

Pikacopter! Oh man that made me laugh. Gotta love that back air~ XD

I don't usually like to moan and groan too much, but I feel some of that pain. Especially when you take opponents to such high percentages without killing! The kill power is difficult to work with... Similar to that, my starting combos can rack up 30% damage with a good amount of consecutive hits, and when those Ganondorfs get a good hit on you right afterwards and give you the same damage, it makes me a tiny bit frustrated. Gah! All those hits did the same as that one hit! Pika power, don't fail meee!!

Most of my bothers come from how much harder we have to work to succeed as opposed to a lot of the other characters. But alas, tis the life of a pika main! :3

To be fair, Pikachu has amazing combo game; he does a lot of damage in exchange for a little less kill power. It's the same deal with Sheik ~

I played someone locally, and to be quite honest, she was quite terrible, so I decided it would be funny if I juggled her with Thunder for her last stock. After the match, she complained that "Pikachu is for scrubs," and that I just "spammed Thunder." Of course, I did spam Thunder, but that was because I knew I could hit her with it, hehe.
Afterwards, she switched to Pikachu and (really) spammed Thunder for the match.... And lost horribly.

I suppose it isn't really a complaint about Pikachu, but rather, a complain about the attitude people have about him.

Haha, I had faced someone locally a couple days ago too, he wasn't terrible though, but he couldn't figure out how to not-get-combo'd so he felt salty and exclaimed it after every match... but he kept asking for it literally "I need to learn how to beat Pika."
I felt bad, but never let up... by the end of the day he just kept showing me middle-fingers until he finally left! X,D
