    Pacific West [Aug 22, 2015] MacD presents: Mayhem - Melee (Pasadena, CA)

    You had me at new venue. Now I don't have any reason to have to go to MTG Deals! :D Definitely going to this one with a set-up.

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    Thanks for the advice Axe! I have a lot of problems with the mental part of the game, despite having played for so long. When I'm playing against a good/ranked player, and get them down to the last stock or near there, I start thinking I could actually win and I get really nervous. I'm going to...

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    Always look forward to watching you play Axe! Your play at EVO was mind-blowing, I was so hoping you would beat Armada, you did so well though! Is there anything outside of Smash you do to either physically or mentally prepare yourself for a tournament?

    Ban coaching

    I haven't read a lot of this, but I personally have no problems with the act of coaching at all. The problem, in my opinion, comes from fairness and equality. If only a few people in a tournament have dedicated coaches, then it creates an unfair environment where those players have an advantage...

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    Both the bair and dair ground hitboxes have saved me from shieldgrabs a few times. :D If they try to shield grab the first chance they get, you'll disrupt their rhythm. Also, it seems like more people might start picking up Pika because of Axe, I hope I don't have to do too many Pika dittos :/

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    PalmerFan: My main practice partner is Falco, and I know what you mean about the dairs. It seems like every time I go to the ledge, he runs off stage, DJ's back and sends out a dair and it magically hits me. -_- I realized this was because my quick attack rhythm was too predictable, and I would...

    That uair -> thunder kill on Hungrybox...that's the dream man. Axe played so amazingly well this tournament. I hope we get to see a lot more of him this summer! He's killing it!

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    N64: Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try to be more patient, it's something I've always struggled with. I think I need to go to my next tournament and try to be patient in every situation and actually think about my options more. After watching the video again, I do see a lot of random...

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    So I played at a tournament this past Saturday, was wondering if anybody could offer any advice on my play (my match starts at around 01:43:00) http://www.twitch.tv/clashtournaments/b/536449118 I was pretty nervous playing on stream against such a good player, so some of the quick attack SD's...

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    I think Fox is a great partner for Pikachu. You can save him easily with uair (just be sure not to spike him by accident, lol!) and he can save you from a lot of situations with his shine. Your forward uair hitbox also easily gets him out of trouble, especially chaingrabs or tech chases. I'm not...

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    I saw the list for that tournament, Axe, PikaChad, AND Anther? Oh man I wish I could've gone. I can't wait for the videos!! And yes I agree, I hate DL64 and almost always get rid of it. Oh my usmash didn't kill you where it would have on literally any other stage? Well I'll just jump and use...

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    Does anybody have a gif or information on Pikachu's dair hitbox when he hits the ground? Does it stay out even if the move is edge-cancelled?

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    That really helps a lot! I had no idea rotating the analog stick did anything, I was just mashing the face buttons as fast as I could. Edit with another question: At what percents/DI is uthrow to usmash guaranteed and on what chars? I'm referring specifically to characters other than...

    Q&A Ask about Pikachu! Hosted by Axe and N64! feat. dkuo!

    Specifically, how do you get out of grabs so quickly? Chad, I was just watching your grandfinals and noticed you escaped sheik's grab at 50% really fast, when I have trouble escaping grabs that fast at 0%. What am I doing wrong?

    Good stuff Chad! I really like how well you utilize wavelands, your style is very cool. I really thought you had him >_<
