I was wondering if that was possible to do myself, nice to see aMSa had the same thought.
On activation, Kirby's rock has a hitbox surrounding it. Another fun fact is that you can penetrate his rock with a move that breaks shields, but Greninja doesn't have one.
It depends. I use both depending on the situation. But actually, the best setting for Greninja IMO would be setting ''attack'' for C-stick. That way you can buffer Uair out of a Up-Throw (If you don't set it to ''attack'', then an Usmash will come out instead of an Uair) and you can do tilts way easier. Just try to get used to do smashes manually.
10 days late, but that sounds like me. Man on a ledge weeklies right?
Funny that you say Pikachu when I think the overall consensus is that Greninja is probably Pikachu's second worst MU.
Fox has no trouble killing in terms of kill power however, Usmash is hard to land if you play safe. He also can't approach very well either. He generally doesn't have to which is what makes his b&p game so strong but he can't do that to Greninja as he'll just keep getting grabbed for it. He's also really susceptible to Usmash and Uair combos due to his fall speed.
In short, once Greninja stays grounded in the matchup it becomes hard for Pika to get safely. He also has issues with landing the kill for the same reason. Pika is also light so Greninja's moves can kill early if you secure a read. (Pika is hard to trap so keep that in mind). Uthrow is generally my go to for easy kills here since it's generally pretty easy to grab him.

about Fox. We can punish his mistakes pretty easily and I feel like we can deal with his crazy movement by just walking and being ready to Jab/tilt most of the time. It's still not an easy match-up, but I don't think it's a bad one.
Sonic gets away with too much free pressure on Greninja's shield and Greninja's lack of lasting hitboxes don't exactly help ether as far as retaliating. Sonic is also able to break through Greninja's zoning really really easily. I honestly feel like this is a clear "worst" matchup for him at the moment.
Honestly I Shiek's ability to kill is a bit understated. She has a decent amount of setups for killing and Greninja isn't exactly heavy. I need to play the matchup out some more but I'm just seeing defensive Shiek being a huge pain going forward. Greninja doesn't play the horizontal spacing game well with her.
Greninja beats both of them solidly.
I'm going mainly from experience, I've faced some great Sheiks before and 80% of the time I would live past 140% unless they managed to gimp me or I was hit by a F-Smash at the edge.
It happens from time to time if the Shiek player just can't land the kill but as the game progresses people will start to apply the kill setups she has way more readily (and she has a lot). Shiek can net kills through the use of Bouncing Fish, Bair Uair and even Nair via various trap setups generally around the 100-150% on most characters.
