Not only things that I do wrong, but also things that I should do more often. My pika is at its beginning stages right now, so ANY advice that you give will help me mold my pikachu into a character I can use at tournaments as a secondary. Thanks in advance 
Lol yes it's true.
I'm getting a bit discouraged though because I'm getting absolutely wrecked by some characters (like MK). I feel like I'm missing a lot from my game, which is why I need some critiques 
Haha thanks. I've always loved watching Anther play, and his match vs MikeHAZE at MLG (plus ESAM's great placements) inspired me to pick up the Chu. I know Anther lost the set, but it was still a great set despite the horrible matchup.
You definite got that right. ^_^ (j/k... sorta)
Arilkie: i dont think ive seen u play until now.... u have a really good pikachu. U have some nice mindgames and like a true pikachu you seem to use all of his moveset. but from wat i saw the players u were playing aint really high level fighters and also against the MK on FD ur use of qac at the start cost u some % damage. But overall its a good pikachu, id love to know wat region ur from!
Thanks, I'm from Northern California on the West Coast. I'm trying to get ready for a tournament tomorrow.

There isn't a SINGLE midwest player on that list. The blog is basically "the top 51 smash players according to some random WC player." There's so much WC bias, I really wouldn't pay any attention to it. It doesn't have Lain, Judge, or Shugo either.
BOXINGKING;10543419Also I just watched scatz .. he looks good also but you cant really push ur pikachu skills if your not playing against quality opposition
They hit me out of it.
i was a bit thunder happy, I see now ( I was kinda thinking it already but whatever)
vs marth some of those uairs during 1st stock.should have been nairs, unless you were trying to keep nair fresh for the kill.
When recovering change up the angle of your QA's.
Looking for some quick tips... these are my first offline matches with pikachu ever. So I'll take any advice you guys can give

First match is vs Tetsion, a Pit from IL. He's good, but he doesn't seem to know how to fight Pikachu that well. Second match is vs. Quik's Wario... he's ranked #3 in IL and is a great player.

This is vs. Diska, somewhat of a newcomer to IL. He saved and uploaded this match because of his spike I'm guessing.

Vs. Vare, a good Sonic from IL. It's a long match, but that just means there's more to critique
Thanks again guys

Bumping these for critique as well. Trying to make sure everybody gets at least a few comments.
Pika's pivot grab is pretty useless most of the time imo. Doesn't increase his grab range by that much, so if they use anything even a little disjointed, you'll probably get hit.I try...and it never works
Nice cam, I liked the second kill against the marth on frigate, at the start of that particular match u were using up'air way to much and cost you a stock, but you switched it up during the match which was nice. Against the zss i felt u could of forward grabed more (im pretty sure its a cg on neutral stages ask esam) & also use pikachus moveset more try to mix it up with more side B, Thunder and qac mindgames. Thunder is very powerful & effective if used at the right time.
