Social The Pichu Social & General Discussion Thread

I want someone to try this for me

Falling U-air
L-cancel
Jumping F-air (Must do f-air just a you jump)
Repeat

You can also try ending it with a N-air

Try this against characters with high gravity such a fox, falco, and captain.

I don't know how much DI effect this, since i can only play against cpu's >_<

Also

Falling U-air
L-Cancel
Jumping U-air
Air Hop N-air

 

[KingClubber]

[DerfMidWest]

I like pichu. He small and yellow. I wish he was a little bit better sometimes.

 

[KingClubber]

this is a bit of a mix so

Pichu v mario = win
falco vs ganon = win
Pichu v chaptain = win
roy vs ganon = win
captain vs sheik = win
Pichu v roy = lost

Me too my Roy matchup isn't the greatest aha

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Roy is terrifically easy.

Basically, just use your speed to dance around him, space back airs and crouch cancel his attacks to a F-smash/U-Smash/D-Smash.

 

[Cheebs]

Thanks, I'll give that a shot next time!

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Have you seen this thread, Cheebs?: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=294797

I have never had a problem facing roy with pichu, he so perfect for comboing, easy, but not too easy (like say bowser) i low percent i like to chain grab with f-throw off the edge into a nair or dair, then try to gimp him (i usually d-smash, but idk if thats the best option)

 

[Grim Tuesday]

It is against Roy.

 

[KingClubber]

Im not complaining, this was my first time playing pichu against a skilled player, so i just need more practice, i was messing up a lot on doing "PA", and was recovering into attacks i saw coming on mistake.

My Pichu just isn't on my Falco lvl yet, he'll be there soon enough.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Am I the only one who does worse against spacies than other top tiers, even though Pichu is supposed to be better against Spacies?

i haven't had a chance to test my pichu against them yet, im the only one who fight with one in my group of friends, the other moved away.

This is what all pichu players should aim for. ^_^

 

[Grim Tuesday]

My Pichu is that fast

Just need to get better at maximizing damage and getting KOs.

 

[KingClubber]

LOL, well you one of the more experienced pichu's so im not that surprised.

Pichu's u-air combo's ownz, i got to practice doing short hops, i still suck at doing them its so freaking hard.

You know what i hate, though. In Smash each character is giving a piece of advice to up they're combat but pichu doesn't get any advice at all.


CLASSIC

A baby Electric-type Pokémon identifiable by its big ears. Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.

ADVENTURE

Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances.

ALL-STAR

Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee., and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

It gives you the tip of only playing him in handicapped matches

 

[KingClubber]

That's not a tip, that's an insult.

Pichu can make Mid Tier if play correctly, i know he can. I just wish i had the time, and the money to prove it.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I've been working on my Pichu a lot lately, I'll place with him in a major this year, guaranteed

 

[KingClubber]

That's great to hear, I'll be rooting for you.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Hehe, I wonder if I'll be able to hear your cheers from LA.

I just realized that I don't think I'd be able to go to another major this year unless I got sponsored, so we'll see.

 

[KingClubber]

Awesome Pichu Combo's (Sorry for the small size.)

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Nice use of Up Smash and Uair/Fair pillaring.

 

[DerfMidWest]

Short hopping is dificult for me too lol. Im left handed and my right thumbs are like lead :/

And spacies are hella easy to gimp.

 

[Cheebs]

It'll be nice to finally see him represented in tourneys. Show that tier list what he's made of!

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I'll try and get some videos of my Pichu on Saturday >_>

I know I keep saying this, but Brawl is always on the recording setup at Smash tournies and meets, lol.

 

[KingClubber]

Must have, studies must be made.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Lol, I'll try my best.

 

[Cheebs]

Agreed, we don't have enough Pichu videos on here.. It's a shame

 

[Leaf.]

I have a recording setup, completely in my control so I could put it on Melee.

But there isn't much Melee. Not that I've payed much attention to it either anyways...

 

[KingClubber]

Someone give me a challenge that can improve my ability to pichu

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Beat Dr. Peepee's Falco with Pichu.

 

[KingClubber]

LOL, I don't even know him, or where to find him, and im sure he'd **** my pichu with Falco's blaster.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

oooooooh, you meant a realistic challenge

Go to a tournament and win a set using only Pichu.

 

[Cheebs]

I can't wait to use Pichu in tourneys, it's gonna be greeeaaattt

 

[Leaf.]

oooooooh, you meant a realistic challenge
