if you are playing against an observant opponent, sonic is actually more annoying, ive got it to the point where most of my area hates the spinning sound, the sound that happens everytime you hit b while you charge down b. they hate the sound so much i did a round where all i did was ball form attacks. side/down/neutral b, down/up smash, and neutral air all make this sound.Silly hedgehog, electricity is for noobs!
A real Pika main uses the power of endless syllable repitition to slowly irritate you into an explosive rage-filled state of insanity so that you kill youself.
Heck, I'd bet half of all pikachu users are a little insane. You'd have to be to put up with your own "Pika Pika!"ing every single match.
I actually quit maining pikachu because every good attack he has includes the word "Pika."
Pikachu's best attacks are
Side Taunt - "Pika Pika!
Down Taunt - "Pikaaaaaa"
thundershock -"Pi-ka-chu!"
sidesmash - "Piiii-ka!"
Thunder - "Pika!"
Quick Attack - "Pi-Pi!"
Dsmash - "Pika!"
Note how every one of them includes "Pi," and 6 out of 7 include "ka"
Never underestimate how annoying this is. Pikachu may very well be better than Sonic at irritation tactics.
By the way, Don't bother trying to gimp Pikachu. you might as well try gimping MK, he'd probably be easier. Pikachu's recovery is simply too fast, and with headbutt, you can guarentee he'll have enough jumps to get around you.
There's no harm in it, but attempting the gimp is useless.
and the only difference between trying to gimp Pika, and trying to gimp MK is that you dont get reverse shuttle looped and killed, other than that, its basically the same. the only thing you can really do is try to mind game them and jump off after them only to return quickly and set up for a smash, kind of the way we do it with fox and falco, where we pretend to go out there and hit them but then run back to the middle of the stage to where they will illusion to and set up a f-smash
also, pika is basically a cut above sonic in just about every area, from camping, to grabs (he can CG with forward throw and down throw in some situations fyi) to airials to straight up power. on a regular basis, i play with arguably the 2nd best pikachu in the country. and he is ****, so ive learned a lot of this matchup.
the best option is usually to run away and force him to try and camp with thunderbolt.
if he shoots them on the ground (most wont) spinshott to whatever. and if they shoot them from the air (most likely) you can just run up, and forward air right through the bolt and hit pika with the rest of the f-air.
f-tilt, and down tilt, are good for spacing the stupid rat, and a good damage racker at the beginning of a stock is close range d-tilt X 2/3 to grab. Baiting whiffed forward smashes is lovely, it equals lag city for pika. when in down smash, DI, and SDI up as much and as fast as possible, you should never take more than 7-9 dam. from pika down smash
