Which pokemon was hardest to learn

[Tim_The_Enchanter]

Which pokemon did you find hardest to learn between Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard?

Personally, I thought it was Ivysaur because it was so much harder to figure out KOs with her.

 

[Charizard92]

Honestly, I don't even remember, but I'm willing to bet that Ivysaur will pop up the most.

 

[Retro Gaming]

Not Squirtle.

 

[Adriel]

Charizard for me. It took me a while to realize that he is best played defensively. Then Squirtle. Yes, Squirtle. I used to just spam his aerials and get shield grabbed. It also took me a while to realize that his ground game isn't as bad as I thought it was.

Ivysaur was always easy for me. Just back-air spam, razor leaf spam, and f-tilt spam until my opponent gets pissed off and makes a mistake. And after that, bullet seed.

 

[The Halloween Captain]

Ivysaur.

What's this about playing Charizard defencively?

 

[Tim_The_Enchanter]

Why would you play Charizard defensively?

 

[Retro Gaming]

Why wouldn't you play Charizard defensively? He can do both. Rock Smash/Flamethrower/Jabs/Shield grabs make quite the difficult character to approach.

It really just depends on the character you're facing and if you're in fatigue or not.

 

[Tim_The_Enchanter]

I should try it out. I'll update y'all

Why would you play Charizard defensively?

Because sometimes when you are big orange and fat, you dont feel like going through the hassle of approaching.

 

[aggrogahu]

I still have a hard time playing squirtle, mostly 'cause I don't know how to really use the hydroplaning or w/e, I'll have to slow it down in practice sometime. For now I usually take it to the air and hope I land behind an opponent if they shield my aerials.

 

[PkTrainerCris]

Charizard used defensely...interesting... hes that versatile :D, anyway, for me ivysaur was the hardest to learn, he just felt so...rare, but now im used to him, also, it was VERY hard trying to shellshifting with the wiimote

 

[Yukiwarashi]

Charizard was the hardest for me to learn. I almost didn't want to use PT because of him.

Ivysaur was the easiest for me to learn, actually. Her fighting style fits me perfectly, much like Toon Link's.

 

[Knyaguy]

Squirtle, I always think his moves have a bigger hitbox than they actually do.

 

[washy]

Ivysaur or Charizard

 

[Charizard92]

Well I was wrong.

 

[Wii4Mii 99]

Right now, Squirtle is proving the hardest to level up. I am having difficulty controlling his speed sometimes, and cannot effectively churn together combos using this aspect.

 

[Fearmy]

actually You guys would think Squirtle has such a little Learning Curve, but seriously, the only one that has Real techs... Master Them, and you can have a Very Dangerous Squirtle if you use him in the Right Area. Squirtle Can Easily Demolish Characters if you can Pay attention and Shield/Dodge on the Right momments. My Squirtle actually = Anther's Pikachu @_@ well Anther's Pika 2 weeks ago

 

[Steeler]

ivysaur just because my playstyle didn't mesh well with it. it really depends on how you play.

 

[Pichu Sensei]

It was hard to learn how to play as Ivy effectively. I constantly got ledge guarded, outperformed, and overwhelmed. Eventually I started to pick up withdrawing away from the opponent while still keeping in range for her ariels, and sneaking in a few razor leaves. Sadly it also took me a while to learn that the C stick is ivy's smashing friend. Otherwise you use a forward tilt, then end up getting a boot to the face.

 

[Trip.]

For me it wasnt a matter of learning one or the other taking a long time, it was a matter of realizing that Ivysaur is probably the best pokemon out of the lot.

He was written off so fast because of his tether and then Squirtle was hyped so much because of Hydroplaning that I never gave Ivy a shot. And I was in love with Charizard from the get go so I had my hands full with those two.

Then I started playing some better opponents and a lot of snakes and then I realized that Ivy was soo **** legit.

WOW.... how is it posible it hasnt evolved???? i understand anther's pikachu because of the lack of thunderstones in smash, but squirtle???....... LOL
jokes apart, i think you make a good point, squirtle may be the easier to learn, but the hardest to pull of to a competitive level......

 

[johnmcgerber]

i say squartle

 

[TheDuplexDuo]

Squirtle. So darn fiddly. Charizard is my best, so simple to use.​

 

[Hydde]

I like to play a neutral zard. When we are both on neutral situations... i play with baits , FTs and random Rsmashes to make my enemy make a move. If i connect a hit or find myself in a favorable situation, i go onattack mode... but i always try to not attack first with zard.
That depends on the opponent also. Some players give u room to act,some not.

For me, i find the 3 pokes not difficult to use overall.... but what really takes time and i still have problems with it... is to reorganize myself when im being heavily pressured, in other words, to defend myself when getting hitted repeatedly . IM talking about ivy and zard. I have difficult time in spacing from fast opponents once they get me airborne with those 2 pokes.
IN summary... the most difficult thing for a PT, is to know when u need to run, when to attack and when to camp, 2 of those pokes lack a solid aerial game to counter the speedy chars.

 

[BluBone313]

charizard was for me, but after a while i got used to him

 

[Jarun]

probably charizard, i found defensive works though, ivysaurs fallin behind :S

 

[Justblaze647]

Ivysaur threw me at first. I picked up on squritle the fastest, and Charizard came soon after, but i think Ivysaur is the best technical fighter (just switch out before you need your vine whip!)

 

[Zephramrill]

It seems every week my opinion on the Pokemon change. I have finally got my Pokemanz to a competitive level and I found bringing Charizard to that level was tough. As a main I found that Squirtle was the easiest for me to get good with, and Ivysaur was fairly easy as well. Then again this is probably because most of my play experience is against a Pit player.

 

[Ademo]

I'm not sure, but I do belive it was Squirtle.

 

[WITH]

For me it's squirtle. He's easy to own noobs with off the bat, but to get him competitive is tough. As someone above mentioned, he gets shield grabbed all the time if u dont know how to play him. Ivey came easy to me after I learned how to recover with razor leaf. Charizard was always easy.

 

[typh]

WAS hardest to learn? i'm STILL learning Ivysaur.

 

[emoklops]

Squirtle.

Before, I just used characters with a lot of range to space well (Ike, Lucario, Olimar), so I really had to get used to Squirtle's short attacks.

 

[0RLY]

Squirtle. His fall speed+aerial DI is very unique. His moves also feel wierd. Small hitbox but high priority.

 

[OmegaXXII]

well I rarely play as PT now but I must say it was Ivysaur and actually still is due to constant ledge guarding, outperformed, and overwhelmed, as well as effectively controlling his bullet seed which I find a little hard.

 

[Natch]

Zard, then Ivy.

Picked up on Zard's lower speed eventually(I was more used to Pika's quick style) and then it was Ivy. She's got a very unique playstyle, very defensive and anti-air. But I love that about Ivy. SH Razor Leafs, Bullet Seed, Vine Whip, Fair, Uair, Dair, and Bair all have good priority, spacing, and range against guys in the air.

Nothing more satisfying than a Sweetspotted Vine Whip too. Nothing makes me smile more than launching a Vine Whip and hearing that [CRACK-ZAP] sound.

 

[Bomber7]

Ivy, Charz then Squirt(as if he was had any difficulty to learn).

 

[FuryX]

i am still learning charizard, hes too slow to fight people who move in so aggressively like short hopping marths and meta knights.

 

[Retro Gaming]

Not really, you can grab most of the time.

Which pokemon did you find hardest to learn between Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard?

Personally, I thought it was Ivysaur because it was so much harder to figure out KOs with her.

To me Squirtle is. Reason, the advanced techniques. Plus trying to nail that forward air A (even at a low projectory) is a task. The recovering is a bit of work for Squirtle and Charzy too.
