Pika Q&A/FAQ Thread: Ask a Quick Question, Get a Quick Answer!

[Z'zgashi]

Nah, I figured it out, it was actually the IC's fusion glitch, I just though it was Pikachu doing it cuz Im dumb, thanks anyway though.

I actually have a replay of myself going through the right edge of the 2nd transformation of Frigate. I was trying to QA to the edge and I somehow went past the edge and into the stage. Has this ever happened to anyone?

And how should I be using ftilt? What are some good setups into ftilt and what does ftilt setup into? I know up-angled ftilt is a bit of a kill move, but that's like all I use it for.

 

[Jimmyfosho]

I'm guessing you didn't look at the video kprime just put on page

 

[Syko_Lemming]

This?

I'm assume that, like pika scarring, it has to do with the timing, and not necessarily with the angle that you QA on?

 

[Cassio]

Ftilt like the guide says is a gtfo move. Its more of a counter-offensive then something you use aggressively, although theres some important cases where it should be used aggressively.

LOL
Bingo.

Hello all, Sorry if this question might be a bother... but as i've been playing brawl, i've been hearing a lot of about pikachu's frae data.. and ppl say i should use it effectively... but the sad thing is i have no idea what frame data is about, and how it can help me... so if it's not to much trouble... can someone help to enlighten me on that... or re direct me to a in depth thread about frame data.... Thanks in advance..

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

Frame data is the speed of moves and how long they last/how much lag there is afterwards. It is pretty much the numbers that the game goes by as the game is progressing. The game breaks it down into 1/60th of a second, or a frame. So moves like Pikachu's nair are 3 frames, or 3/60ths of a second or 1/20th of a second. Understanding his frame data (how fast everything comes out) helps understand what moves you should use in certain situations.

 

[Twigz]

I see thank you m8.. Gotta take a look at that frame data and see how i can implement it into my game

Was recovering back to the stage and out of nowhere Pikachu learns to multi-jump lol. How that happen?

[Jimmyfosho]

footstooled it.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

you footstooled his cypher over and over lol

 

[Phoenix Lord']

You mean the CPU footstooled his cypher over and over lol

 

[Roller]

pro cpu.

 

[infiniteV115]

iirc CPUs footstool whenever possible

 

[PZ]

iirc CPUs footstool whenever possible

Tis truth

If they can't use a second jump then they will hit the jump so many times that you getting near them initiates auto footstool.

I have learned that from hitting a pit cpu out of his up...

What are Pikachu's approaching options I should be using? I feel like I have trouble approaching without trying for hard reads.

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

T-jolt approaches, SH fair (go in and then retreat), SH dair (same with fair) and just...slowly approaching with shields and stuff. You have to approach differently depending on the player you are fighting against/character you are fighting against.

How do I become Esam?

 

[Ussi]

You screw the rules cause everyone be free

Shouldn't you be going to the Samus boards to ask that? :3

You screw the rules cause everyone be free

Damn straight son, but their entry fee isn't~

hahaha I mean with Pikachu

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

hahaha I mean with Pikachu

Well, sir, first you must find the tallest building in your city. Stand on the top of it with a 30 foot metal pole, and control the lightning. Once you master that, let the energy from the lightning flow from you to the controller. You don't even have to think, it will just happen because you will have the spirit of the Pikachu.

However, controlling the lightning isn't easy. The secret technique has been passed down from generation to generation in my family, and only one member per generation has it (Hence the reason Nick Riddle cannot play Pikachu). I will not give away the secret technique, but if you discover it for yourself, you will attain the ultimate prize: being as good as me. Good luck, novice.

Lolol nice

The only bad thing I see there is allergies to certain fruits besides that he probably be the richest smasher which is why he runs his own monthlies...

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

I'm not allergic to fruits, I just hate the taste of strawberries so I puke.

 

[Nicholas1024]

Warning! Side effects include:
An uncontrollable addiction to IC's
Allergic to Peaches

Fixed that for you.

 

[Nordal]

The peaches were supposed to be implied, you twit.

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

Oh...peaches...fruit....

Clever clever.

 

[Nordal]

Would you expect anything less from me of all people?

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

I just didn't connect the dots.

 

[Nordal]

Get your **** together, that's preschool stuff.

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

Most preschoolers definitely do not know how to:
1) Spell quesadilla
2) Use commas before lists like that
3) Make inferences based on past events
4) Know the word "hilarity"

I would say closer to 3rd grade.

 

[Nordal]

I meant connecting the dots.

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

No, you are just trying to salvage it. I KNOW YOUR WAYS

 

[Nordal]

 

[z00ted]

can i ditch the peach boards for this place?

 

[Stealth Raptor]

man everyone is vacating the peach boards. is it that bad?

 

[Nordal]

No, I just bring awesome and people follow.
