Wow! That was a very nice video guide. I love the stage jolt...that's too awesome. I'm going to try that out later. Also, I have a quick question. When you do the wavebounced/reversed thunder, do you tap back on the control stick and down b, or do you down b and then quickly tap back on the control stick?

Not a Pikachu player, but this is very well done. I wish someone would do something like this for Sonic. The tactic threads don't quite do it for me. SEEING it works so much better.

In your homez, playing your Wiiz.
Well, I'd say pika sure isn't boring!!!
Pika has the annoying factor against some opponents, so you'll definately get some interesting stories because of that!!!

And I'd say your lucky there is a vid like this. I don' think there is a vid (or series of vids) for other characters that solely focus on their various techniques and things.

How much you bet this inspires others to make vids?

One million trillion dollars!!! LOLZ!
Well, I know when others see this they will, but it'll take four months (Like it did for this vid) and it is the first of it's kind, the Pikas will enjoy the boost while the rest try to repeat.

Ah, I G2G disappear for a few hours. Chao ppl!

10 dollars

Well I see it as a chain reaction. First people who 2nd pikachu will see this. That in turn inspires them to try it with their main. Which leads others who 2nd that said character to do so. And it repeats. Or trolls get inspired.

for reversed thunder, you have to press down b first.
If you tap back first, you can get results close to reversed thunder, but it's not the same thing (I still like using this for edgeguarding though).
