Social PGD4: I changed the title.

[Ritronaut]

I still think Pikachu is top 5 though, maybe not top 3, but at least his meta is deep and it's very, very hard to master him, so we all still have a long way to go.

By the way, I found a REALLY good method (don't know if it's known or not) to practice up throw -> Pivot thunder (or double jump thunder whichever you prefer, I like pivot more). Plus it also really helps with perfect shielding.

Anyways, Level 9 yoshi set to attack in training mode, set his percentage to 100, and start. He will spam the everloving crap out of eggs. You can literally just walk in, perfect shield them, and grab, it's extremely easy to grab him. Then just up throw thunder, (since it's a level 9 cpu on attack he will DI randomly) restart and repeat. Helped me out a lot. Though sometimes he'll randomly decide to do something else, just restart and do it again, most of the time he egg spams.

So I bought a gc controller and I've seen the light. It feels really good and the layout is helping me with quick inputs since all the buttons are right there. Might be overhyping quite a bit but I can controller pika better with it.

Gamecube controller is love <3

Personally I prefer the Classic Pro. Think it's a tough call, though.

For the Pro if my button layout has X and Y at jump, I can just run my thumb quickly over them and A or B for a short-hopped attack of some kind. Aerials works the same way on the GCN but specials are awkward when that A button is Snorlaxing the B button as hard as it is.

On the other hand, the GCN C-stick is a lot easier to work with. A lot. Like infinitely.

Granted, pretty terribad pika, so grains of salt all around, but throwing in my experiences nonetheless.

Nah man, you're not terrible. Just enjoy playing the game; it's all that matters.

^ The Quagsire in the top hat speaks the truth

Anyways, since I didn't have the Gamecube adapter until recently, I had been playing with the Gamepad for a long time. Now I'm unsure which controller I like better. Both are fine with me.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Oh, but I am. Believe it.

Never fear, though, I still enjoy playing. And thank you and @ A10theHero for the votes of confidence.

 

[iVoltage]

I just think that the pro buttons are to far apart sometimes mainly the sticks

 

[redfeatherraven]

The right stick on the Pro is my largest complaint about it.

Honestly if they had a GCN with a more traditional ABXY layout, or a Pro with a GCN-layout C stick, I'd never complain about either one again.

Scary part is, thanks to Splatoon, I'm actually starting to use the Gamepad out of habit. The Gamepad.

 

[iVoltage]

I can't even play splatoon without dcing every game. I already dropped two ranks.

 

[redfeatherraven]

You sound like my teammates.

Are you my teammates?

 

[iVoltage]

Probably o3o

 

[redfeatherraven]

Huh. Well, at least you weren't squidbagging the whole match.
Like me.

Don't sweat it.

Gamecube controllers are awesome! I still have some that are about eleven years old, and they are still functional.
They are my favorite type of controller for Smash Bros., and I use them for every Smash game that I have played. Just would not be Smash Bros. to me without one.

 

[Coro_]

oh my goodness, it's 2am and the title's different
hide your pichus

 

[iVoltage]

Bout 4am here, just got off work :V

 

[redfeatherraven]

Bout 5:30 here.

Headed to bed, round two. Hopefully I stay asleep this time.

 

[Joaco]

6:45 here, playing smash of course

 

[redfeatherraven]

1PM, reporting in.

Good news, I stayed asleep. Bad news, I stayed asleep too long.

 

[Koiba]

Maybe I should talk here more ****

I don't even know if any of you still remember me from page 8 or something like that lol

 

[The Legendary Big Boss]

This is how my Pikachu feels fighting against Luigi's and Yoshi's. Lol

 

[Soul.]

The second image has swearing involved lol. I'd ask you to remove it before you get a warning.

Sorry about that Soul; I did not mean any disrespect. I fixed it. Lol

 

[Soul.]

It is fine, no disrespect involved. Censor dodging via images happens sometimes haha

Any Pikachu mains face good Dr Mario players, lately?

XD. I feel the MU is rare since good players go toe to toe with each other.

 

[The Legendary Big Boss]

Underhill, I fought a good Dr. Mario on For Glory recently. Maybe he was not that great, but he beat me by a good margin. Lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I recorded the fight if you want to take a look. The player, who went by Erik(v_pi), really knew his combos in my opinion.

Here is the video. The lag was minimal if I recall correctly.

Sorry, dude. Good battle, but For Glory doesn't count. However, I can give you some insight on the MU if you want since I main both. On your profile and not here.

 

[The Legendary Big Boss]

Sure, please do. I appreciate your offer for some advice. Thanks!

 

[Coro_]

Hey guys, I posted a video of mine at the video thread~
I wonder if I could get some critique? I'd like to know exactly how good I am and what I could be doing better

 

[Coro_]

Today at a local smashfest I was completely outplayed by another Pikachu I didn't know existed ;w;
My pride in my main ;w;

I actually saved the replays to upload later if anyone wants to see

 

[Armistice]

It's okay, I hate pika dittos too ;_;

 

[redfeatherraven]

I would flip my **** for some dittos.

As far as I'm aware I'm the only Pika in my city, and we always need more Pikas, so I'd love to be wrong.

You would hear my squee in Tennessee.

Followed by the sounds of me getting three-stocked.

I actually saved the replays to upload later if anyone wants to see

Would indeed.

I'm useless at advice, but still curious to see.

 

[iVoltage]

Let's test that, I'm there now.

Here's the dittos:

you can see the slow progresion from 'oh no he has better fundamentals' to 'oh no he has better fundamentals AND he downloaded me'

 

[Soul.]

So on the 30th, the day the Super Mario Maker stage is released, we'll be getting an obvious maintenance. If there's a balance patch on this update, let's hope we get the buffs we need. September 30th is close to the day the Ballot closes (October 3rd), so I'm not sure if we'll be getting a new character to please the speculative crowd.

NAir being able to KO again would make me enjoy playing Pikachu a lot more than I do now, among a few other good changes. What kind of changes do you guys want?

 

[KentaKurodani]

I'm possibly coming back to Pika, Fox is fun and all but goddamn he dies so fast

 

[Coro_]

Not much really, just one guaranteed kill confirm, any kill confirm would make our game a lot easier~
Although, having that hard game could be a charm point in itself XD
The respect from the crowd and all

 

[A10theHero]

A reliable way of KOing would be lovely. More hitstun on up throw plz.
