I've been a Pikachu main since Melee, and I intended it to stay that way in Brawl. Pikachu is still probably my best character. But earlier today I was at a Brawl tournament at my college. It was a double elimination tournament with no items, final destination, 3 stocks or 5 minutes. I had originally planned to use Pikachu, but since I had been playing around with Snake on my own I said "What the hell, I'll use Snake instead."
I'm glad I chose Snake, because I ended up doing really well with him. His tilts are godly (especially forward tilt, ****) and his aerials are great. Up tilt combined with up aerials got me a bunch of kills. It also helped that I got lucky with his insanely strong forward smash a few times, that thing can kill at really low percentages. I'm loving his range and priority too.
In case anyone's curious my matches went like this:
Beat a Wolf
Beat a ROB (barely)
Beat a Fox (he almost made a comeback though)
Lost to a Lucas (sickest Lucas player I've ever seen)
Beat another Wolf
Beat a Pikachu
Lost to Olimar
I ended up placing 3rd, so I won a $10 gift card to Best Buy And the people I lost to ended up finishing 1st and 2nd.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that little story. I might have to main Snake now because I had so much fun using him.
P.S. Any tips for fighting Olimar? I hate how deceptive his range is with those Pikmin
