sheik isnt good at killing unless you mess up, now i know pika isnt either but hes better than shiek.
60-40 pika
Sheik has GR>DACUS on Pika......so yea you don't really have the advantage in the KO department in this matchup.
I agree with the ratio though.
Lol Looking past the CG???
That's like playing Fox vs Sheik and Saying "Looking past the tilt lock".
Pikachu beat's Sheik pretty bad.
He's just as fast, stronger attacks, better recovery and not to mention the chaingrab that goes to past 50% I'm pretty sure.
Just hop on the edge as soon as she's knocked off and if she chain's too late shes dead and if she notices you on the edge before she chain's she'll be forced to vanish on stage and she can be punished..
Pikachu can camp her with Thunder Jolt, she can attempt needles but they aren't likely to hit if Pikachu is jumping while using Thunder Jolt.
The mest sheik has is punishing a missed D smash or Side smash with her speed.
This is one of her worse MU's imo.
35-65 Pikachu.
This post kinda made me chuckle a bit.
Avoiding a grab is not that hard if you're really attempting to avoid it. Pika doesn't really have amazing grab range either so yea.
We can even just pull out the chain and let you hit us with tjolts until we are around 50% if we really feel like it. From my experiences though it isn't terribly hard to avoid the grab as long as I have some platforms to work with.
We're not going to shoot needle storms when your in the air......needles are used to cover landings......so if you jump while shooting a tjolt just be aware that you have to come down and get the landing frames.
Sheik has to avoid a grab at low percentages and you have to avoid a grab at high percentages.
Sheik has a lot more range than Pikachu(I realize this is probably the case in most of his matchups).
Bair is safe on block.
Sheiks recovery is mediocre so take advantage of that.
Pikachu ftilts really well. whoever said something earlier about DI'ing ftilt.....i'm assuming you mean DI'ing correctly towards Sheik....and I can still just turn around and continue ftilting....it's a true lock after 30%. One missed grab could equal 40-50% for you so be cautious and only attempt grabs to punish mistakes.
60-40 Pikachu imo.
