You do a perfect job at putting in the small damage, but you should let him come to you. You have two projectiles.. Otherwise, fantastic set.
Daiki's been watching too much Naruto (The tag). Daiki's been doing the Abadango for about a year. He does great with his fluent knowledge of characters, but isn't confident with them all. His pikachu is played against specific mks because he goes to play offline a lot with them. Wish I could, but I live on the tiny island of Okinawa, where it's basically Gori and me. The Wifi monkey and rat. =xhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxaGZldTGsA#t=300
Not sure how long he's been playing Pikachu but 1-1 with Rain is legit!

Well now, it's a shame people missed this for almost 2 months. Critiquing is what this thread is for. So you are fighting a ROB. I don't have a lot of experience against ROB but if there is a ROB in my game, I'm generally the one playing as him, so I know the ropes. ROB loves nothing more than to do two things: camp and punish. He is quite adept in doing both. What I saw were not so much technical errors on your part, but your difficulty in reading your opponent. You get close, and he'll d-smash. You go at a distance, and he'll outcamp you every time. Heck, ROB can spit out a gyro ball to absorb all of your t-jolts. Solution? Maintain the pressure by keeping at a small distance so you're always ready to pounce, but be wary of his attacks. Learn what he likes to do both in the air and on the ground. This advice generally holds true against any character. Do this and mix up your ways to pounce at your opponent and maybe you'll discover that they can no longer predict your next move.
Watching you play is reminiscent of my old tournament days. You do maintain the pressure, but remember all your options at any given time and don't be afraid to tech chase. That is key. Re-watch your videos and keep an eye out for where you missed valuable reads. It's hard to say what else you could do better. Perhaps you could watch Esam vs some Marth players. I recommend this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8dMCVlDGxw.
hopefully improve lots more....
Oh man it's embarrassing to watch those videos, I looked so out of my league. Haha that's probably because I was, that was my second tournament. But yeah thanks for the criticism, I'll be sure to keep those things in mind for the future! Those recent vids of me should be coming up any day now, I'll post them in here when they are uploaded!
Grabbing isn't guaranteed, and dash-grab especially leaves Chu very vulnerable; D-Tilt, as you know, is horribly awesome-I mean, safe so...
Maybe you're comfortable at dealing with Ike's upB like that but I'm not lol. Or you're just ballsy af.
You know, you seem to talk like you know a lot about this game and always assert your opinion no matter what and yet I've never seen you place at a national and I've never seen you prior to this year on the boards... Are you Inui?
