w00t! Hylian! Thanks for the sticky! You're my hero, again!Sticky to reduce spam .
Really, that's how he usually kills me. Should I press shield right when he does Upsmash or should I hold the shield button while he is dair.Dair to dsmash doens't work. You have just enough time to powershield any smash attack after dair. Proceed to punishing him.
Good advice. I will be using that.Sounds like your biggest problem is that you keep getting Daired. Just remember it's one of Fox's good (yet predictable) approaches, so you should get ready to shield and grab. Also remember that Fox falls really fast, so certain combos should be easy to pull off like up tilt. I usually up tilt after Fox is able to escape Pika's CG.
If hes in the air, he will Dair right? all you have to do is shield grab him, whens about at 50% Utilt then rising Uair then try another one, if you cant do another one then just Fair into Dsmash, if you do do another one, follow it with thunder. Or if hes at high percent, shield Dsmash to stop his Dair. your Fair is kinda like his Dair remember that, if you cant kill him, try to grab him and throw himn up and IMMEDIATELY thunder. These things may take a little practice or a couple tries but just let him approach and punish him
Woah, that's exactly the stage discussion thread I was thinking of when I asked. I didn't even notice you were the mastermind behind it.I wouldn't mind doing a stage discussion for the pika boards. I already have a bit of experience from my G&W stage discussion. A community-based discussion will keep pika players active. There's really nothing to lose from creating a stage discussion.
Kind of corny, don't you think?Any chance of renaming all stickies so they have a electric theme to them?
=DWoah, that's exactly the stage discussion thread I was thinking of when I asked. I didn't even notice you were the mastermind behind it.
But yes, that's more what I had in mind. Depending on how many stages we do, I think putting it in the general guide would make the guide... confusing... but 5ive, I understand what you mean about having too many stickies. I HATE forums that suffer from sticky-overload. Irks my soul.
Just off the top of my head....Can you guys come up with a list of FAQ that I can add to the OP? It doesn't have to be asked already. I need a list of commonly asked questions that new pika users ask so I can put it in the FAQ section. Exams are almost over and I have some free time now. Thanks.
In case people missed it...Real question... if you hit with the bolt part of thunder (T1), does that stale the hitbox around Pika (T2)? I don't use T2 often enough to know.
Try to avoid skull bash recoveries alltogether. Pika doesn't really need it.And any tips on recovering on FD after a failed skull bash recovery? Everytime i miss and i get under that ledge i can't seem to get back to the stage. Am i doing it wrong or is that just a angle pika can't make it back from?
Snake's 'nades come out on frame 1, so if he times it correctly, he can pull one out in-between throws and the explosion will end your chaingrab. You're not necessarily doing it wrong, he just has good timing. (I didn't know any of you played Snake...)Question about pika's chaingrab on snake. How much damage can it do before snake can get out of it? And when im doing it my friend just uses a bomb after the 1st throw and hits me out of it. Is he able to do that or am i doing the chaingrab wrong which is giving him enough time to pull the bomb?

I don't know how easy it is for him to do, since I've only ever played as Snake once or twice, but I'm assuming it can be done pretty consistently considering how quickly the 'nade comes out....
Thanks for this!!!!!!Try to avoid skull bash recoveries alltogether. Pika doesn't really need it.
Unless your sure your opponent will get hit by it (By pretending to go for the ledge) or if you're high above the stage.
Try to use pika's quick attack to grab the edge, if you know its to far (rarely) then skull bash but be careful about it.
If you are in that situation where you're under the stage I'd say Kroova's answer is as good as you're gonna get.
I don't know about your other question though.
Online is totally okay, and also helps with your timing knowing when to jump after the QAC. A good time to QAC, well it depends on the situation and the player. Each player has his or her uses for QACing like recovering without lag when the edge is unsafe, for mindgames, or for retreating. Many many uses.When is it a good time to QAC?
If I can't practice against people in real life, is playing online okay?
be more specific. what do you mean by mess up?do you guys ever mess up recovering
do you guys ever mess up recovering
I would love to say that I never do, but the truth is.... secretly.... I do, every once in a while.like with QA
