Rate My Pikachu

[ChanseyMaster]

I've been playing Pikachu seriously for a few weeks now. Could you suggest any ways for me to improve? (Other than the Up+B ledge guard, I'm already working on that)

Here's a recent video of my Pikachu.

Anyway, thanks for any help.

Nice moves there.

I suggest you to use pika's thunder when your rival's too high, that way you can hurt him while you're on the ground ready for up + A smash him.

That was pretty slick. I noticed the dair was your best friend. Just practice a little on the timing of the ledgehopped uairs when he's off the stage or use the nair to knock further out. All in all, great work.

The dair is my best friend, I pwn with pikachu but I use a completely different style

good pikachu, average fox. The Fox has the technical aspect down, but he's just simply running head first into everything.

Suggestions for your Pikachu:
- Teach it Surf
- Evolve it into a Raichu

that is all...

pikachu is my best character. i find his b-air pretty good and you can easily juggle others with his u-air. practise the thunderflip technique(up smash to thunder), its helpful

 

[Gbus]

my friend plays a pretty good pikachu.
What gets me is thunder flips/up throw to thunder.

 

[D. Disciple]

How do you get killed by a uthrow to thunder? Your DI must be horrid.

Nice Pika, too tired to critique at the moment. But i like how you were using uair to flick him infront of you, try to get in an usmash or something after that, to make it look sexier.

 

[Gbus]

...high percent and using fast fall characters...

 

[N64]

but uthrow doesn't actually lead to thunder at any percent, unless you have horrible DI. It simply does not have enough stun to make thunder unavoidable.

anyways, looks good. I liked the nair->grab and the general jolt chasing.

hmmm...i'm really not good enough to critique your pikachu, but i think it's pretty dang good. i just recently learned of all this advanced stuff and now the game is suddenly really addicting lol. uhm, was wondering if somebody could help me out with short-hopping though? it's insanely hard, but it looks like a key element in playing with pikachu

-edit
ahh sorry, this probably shoulda gone in the melee discussion...
