Lux Aeterna Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 There's plenty of things to replace grabbing with depending on the situation. You won't be able to do much with criticism if you flat out argue with it. Pikachu's grab range is shit, and since he has some follow-ups to grabs smart people will be looking to keep you from grabbing them, so doing something like charging in trying to force a grab isn't a good standard approach to getting them. QAC, should you learn it, makes you annoying as fuck (trust me) and makes for a lot of offensive options. Pikachu is fast enough to get in with his lagless air game and annoying thunderjolt pressure. Keep yourself unpunishable, and take grabs when they are given, not when you want one. Read me/baseless assumptions on how you could improve your game Never knew what QAC was, but I'll look into it. Also: Pika's Strengths: - Good running speed - Small size = small target - Can combo well - Good grab game - Good aerials - Excellent recovery - Has two great projectiles - Can effectively edgeguard and/or gimp most characters - Diverse movement options - Duck/crawl are somewhat useful - Very good at annoying the opponent - Most attacks have little lag - Has an adorable face XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffPuff Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Also, if you time his special right. Pika will likely annoy the opponent. Edited July 7, 2009 by Ursula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: so it is absolutely essential for new squirrelrats to learn it well! Ok Sirius, you win on that point. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Aeterna Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Dsmash, unfortunately, is one of the reasons why Pikachu is often considered a spammy character. I now see why people think I spam. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 No. Your constant use of Thunder and Thunderbolt without even using another move, however... You use F-Smash way more than D-Smash, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux Aeterna Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I wonder how quickly I'd get destroy by the guy named Anther... At least I'd benefit by watching him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux Aeterna Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Rehab, I found out what QAC is. That is going to be, quite possibly, my most annoying move. : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Sounds good. Show us something DI is simple. Directional Input, the direction you hold the control stick in when/after you get hit (as opposed to holding it in general). When, or just before, you get hit with a move with enough knockback to possibly kill you, hold it perpendicular to the direction you're being pushed in, right or left if you get hit up and up if you get hit to the side. It'll direct your flight path in a direction that may make the amount of knockback not enough to kill you outright and save you just before you hit the blastline. There's also smash DI, which allows you to escape multihit moves by jamming the control stick multiple times in the appropriate direction, usually away from the move you are being hit with. If that sounds weird and difficult to interpret, I'll try to find a tutorial vid I remember watching about it.

Lux Aeterna Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 *explanation*If that sounds weird and difficult to interpret, I'll try to find a tutorial vid I remember watching about it. No, that's easy enough to understand. I just heard that D-smash for Pika is easily DI, more specifically: SDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
