Okay Guys,

At the moment in the Sonic Boards we will be starting to discuss Pikachu as a matchup to Sonic. We don't know everything about Pikachu so we would appreciate some Pika mains who know their stuff to head over and give us a hand. This may get the discussion out of the way for your board as well.

you will find it there.
also any videos regarding the matchup are appreciated...
Hope to see you over there.

usual disclaimer-type stuff.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I really doubt anyone in the Sonic boards has fought a good Pikachu main.

I've played against Anther online, but that was like, in the summer, and I definitely didn't know enough about the matchup and got eaten by QAC tricks lol.


If you wish to contribute, please keep these in mind:
- Please, please have matchup experience with a competent Sonic main before talking about what Sonic can or can't do.
- If you don't have matchup experience with a Sonic main, but you see an incorrect an incorrect assumption on Pikachu (especially concerning move usage), feel free to correct it.
- After meeting the first two criteria, try not to awaken the fanboys with flammable remarks, I will personally report both sides, because we've already had a matchup discussion fail to this.
- Information, especially on stage choice, would be well appreciated. :)

Also, silly things to keep in mind, in case you get overwhelmed by Sonic vocab:
- Spinshot: a fast-moving (run speed) insta-doublejump done out of a side-B charge (grounded or aerial) or an aerial down-B charge.
- ASC: Aerial Spin Charge (Aerial down-B) - has properties of multiple hits based on velocity (11 damage max first hit, 7-10 damage on followup hits). Can be shield cancelled upon landing.
- Side-B: Side-B's grounded charge can be cancelled for feints. Upon release, it has invincibility frames, like Ike's Eruption Super Armor, but invincible.
