I was wondering how good Pikachu is at assisting Diddy at his bad matchups. I saw from Zinoto's list that Diddy loses to: Sonic, Luigi, Sheik, Cloud, Rosalina, Megaman, and Olimar. I looked at many characters MU lists from top players or communities to see who did best against all these characters. The one that seemed the best for these matchups is Pikachu, looking at ESAM's MU list. Pikachu goes even with or beats EVERY SINGLE ONE of Diddy's bad MU's according to ESAM's list. (I'm not sure if he said Pikachu doesn't lose to Sheik, but if he did, then I think it was only 55/45 Sheik's favor, which was better than Diddy's 60/40) But can I trust this? I think ESAM has been known to highly overrate his character, usually putting him at 2nd best in the game. (I don't know if he still thinks this or not, but he used to for sure.) and he only put like 2 or 3 bad MU's for Pika there, obviously the worst was Mario, but I'm not sure if Mario is the worst because Pikachu actually loses to him, or that ESAM just struggles with Mario, because he does struggle with him. So what do you guys think? Will I get as much help as ESAM seems to think I can with Diddy? Is Pika worth it as a secondary or co-main?
