G&W. G&W. G&W. and occasionally......G&W. Snappy the turtle aka bair is so powerful.....though SHAD'ing can help to nullify its effects. but the up-b being only punishable by thunder, and then the lagless dair being punishable by only thunder or perfect timing tail moves....... He gives me huge problems. Everyone else i can manage ok. Falco is a distant second, evil cg.

Olimar and Squirtle they're too small for me to handle as well as I do everyone else

Mr. Game and Watch and Metaknight.

GW for his ridiculous priority and he can absorb Thunder and Thunder Jolt, and Metaknight's insane speed

falco gets easier once you can duck :D but g&w is pretty tough... although i recently saw a pika beat a gaw pretty well...that was a nice change

one thing gallax, are we just posting the hardest chars. for us here or are we posting opinions or questions? just wondering, like what specifically you have problems with DDD, cuz if its like a DI problem (i.e. they are really good at it), not sure there is much you can do, idk just tryin to get the gist here

Mr. Game and Watch, definitley. That guy's so rigged, it's surprising how underused he is :p.

Other bad matchups for Pikachu (by my experience) have to be Peach, Toon Link, and the StarFox crew.

Olimar's not too hard if you gimp him with your dsmash. Getting him over the edge could be a bit of a hassle, though.

Falco, Falco, Wolf, Falco. A bit of Meat Knight or ZSS, but mostly Falco.

Fun fact about Game and Watch: He can't use his bucket to absorb projectiles if it's full.
(Hint: Thunder's fun to use when he can't hit you with Oil Panic)

peach, lucario, and TL are my most annoying fights.

peach cause she can combo pika so easily * i play a vs really awsome peach o.O so mebe thats y i have trouble with her*

lucario doesnt have any openings in the air and his freaking range is so gay. most of them dodge roll and hes got like no gimp time in his dodge rollz ><

and TL is just super annoying. so much spam. and air atacks hit so hard

datz just my opinion though

To all Pikachu mainers: G&W is a terrible match-up for even G&W himself. :laugh:

Playing as Pikachu, I'd have to say that G&W had to be a terrible match-up for me. Marth is close, but he's not really a threat. I don't main Pikachu or play him on a daily basis. But out of my experience he's a really good character to choose. Both for beginners and experts.

pika has a slighy advantage over snake.. but i'd say its a fairly even match up.

my problems are with falco, Mk, and olimar.

surprisingly, i dont have problems with marth or G&W

at least for me, its mario/fox/lucario. having thunder either caped or reflected @ you sucks. or just the fact that they sealed an easy way to take a stock. =(
