Extra information:

  • I don't want to lose all the information that the community has discovered at this point. Most of this theory it's in the MU Thread.
  • You can read the document made by the User Umbreoff which summarizes the previous post. Click here to see the document. I'm transcribing this document into a pdf version with access to new options. If you want to check the progress of this document I'll invite you to see the PDF Online Version.
  • With respect to the Killing Section: add Good Set-ups to perform the killing (not just the final attack). Set-ups performed in specific Stages are also welcome.
  • With respect to the Stage Selection Section: we should discuss what stages to avoid and what stages are good for Pikachu. The Smash Player Esam made a Depth Analysis on each Stage. Recall that some stages could be good for Pikachu but are even better for other character that's the reason for why we should discuss this kind of things here (one example is Halberd: IMO is good for Pikachu but not against Meta Knight).
  • With respect to the Difficulty Section we should discuss how difficult is this MU for Pikachu. If it's possible it would be good to associate a measure to this difficulty. I think that this section should be completed once we developed a lot of theory in the corresponding MU, otherwise is just speculation.
  • With respect to the Specific Situations Section we should discuss what to do in both scenarios.

This match up is really annoying. Yesterday, i lost against a olimar player and sometimes i don't know how to approach to olimar, or punish his options

I have been playing Olimar since the game came out, and to be honest he is a tricky matchup, make sure to approach Olimar from the air and almost always be throwing out hitboxes (they clash with litterally every attack Olimar has) and get up in his face and stay there for as long as you can, if you attack his shield close enough, he actually cant shield grab you, its actually really frustrating, the 1.1.1 shield nerfs really hurt Olimar's defensive play.
