I should've jab locked him against the wall on Delfino at the shine sprite part. Oh well. It wasn't nerves, I just thought he was gonna not DI out of it and I would get a free thunder kill.

You honestly should have won. You outplayed him all 3 games and lost to several critical technical errors or bad judgement calls (like approaching dair camping when you had a 100% lead). Its more surprising that you lost to him over lee or even chu. Im also surprised that it sounded like you resigned yourself to losing, both from talking to you a couple weeks before and in your interview after, you have to be more confidence! (surprising to say, lol)

It wasn't my lack of confidence. I was super confident. I just wasn't THAT attached. I wasn't nervous. I got rid of all of that with Lee Martin, if you watch the end of the 3rd video lol.

Also, Me vs Lee's Lucario

It isn't as bad as I thought...having 0 character exp in a MU is really bad...especially when you play the best one (Now I know what people must feel like).

Why did you approach M2K's dair/ledge camp when you were so far ahead? That **** really pissed me off when I watched the vids, because I feel like you could've won if you would've been a little more patient. Looked like you wanted the kill too badly and literally jumped into his camp when he was scared and running away from you.

Just curious what was going through your head. Your lead was so significant..... you had no reason to go near him.

I basically got hit once from being close (Closing in when he was off the angel platform) and I took basically 80% from his follow-ups. I was nervous to jump back because he could've up-b'd me and killed me earlier...after that I felt like I wouldn't keep the lead if I camped so I tried to extend it by killing him

Angel platform? Are you talking about Delfino? I was mostly referring to the match on Smashville.

Good **** regardless.... you pulled off some really impressive stuff. Next time I expect the win. :mad:

You honestly did ****ing amazing.

Match two it looked like you could've pulled the QAL lock, the crowd would'a **** a brick or two. How come you didn't? loljkwrongcombo, still was pretty tight.

also outta curiosity, do you play with tap jump off?

In match 2 on SV I messed up the QAL, on match 3 I didn't think fast enough and I thought that he would get hit by the last hit of D-smash up and thunder. Yes I play with TJ off.

Hi everyone, I'm a french Ike main; and after having watched vids of a friend of mine in his first tournament (and one of his first offline experience) I suggested him to put some vids here for a critique.

Mind critiquing his pika? =)

What would be the point of this topic if people began to stop criticizing the videos that people post ?

Just sayin'~

It's still a video archive.

People critique when they have the time or care enough to..... and most of the time, neither of those is the case unfortunately. Sucks but it is what it is. :ohwell:

@Bking : Okay thx . Nice vid too but I think you should use plateform cancel some more .

@Blubo ça sert à rien de redemander à ce que les gens critiquent , ils le feront quand ils auront le temps surtout que relancer après 48h à peine c'est lol m'voyez . J'pense que tu vas devoir attendre genre 1 semaine . J'essayerais de critiquer quelques matchs si j'ai le temps ce week end .

Went up to AP French and AP Latin, took a trimester of Spanish, and switched to Italian and Japanese when I went to college. =D

I love language. <3 But decided to be a double science major, so I had to drop all my language classes. :(

It'll take me a few more views to get a better critique, however, one thing stuck out.

STOP! THROWING! HIS! BANANAS! BACK! AT! HIM!

Throwing his bananas back at him like that is essentially like giving them back to him. This is a Bad Thing (tm). If you're not good at using the bananas yourself, in this MU you get more out of simply denying him access to his bananas than using them poorly. You can get a lot of mileage out of just picking them up and dropping them/throwing them straight up in the air. Once you get comfortable manipulating the bananas, then you can start think about using those tactical nukes on offense more often.

Hey Pikachu boards, my friend told me to get some videos up here so you guys could critique him :).
He usually lurks around here

Cao vs Blue(G&W)

Cao vs Me(Snake)

I'm working on it....

ok got the first one done so far. too much fsmash
0:47 you didnt need to spotdodge, you coulda turned around and grabbed.
1:11 you coulda ledge attacked the dtilt spam

try not to tjolt against GaW unless he is doing a move, oil panic gets really really powerful from tjolts

1:52 a running away reverse grab would have been sweet here...
2:41 the second hit of his dair shield poked you, use an OOS option like nair, spotdodge, or roll away.

3:28, perfect, own that trip.
3:55 fair into... roll away?
dont thunderspam vs GaW -_-
GaWs upsmash is insane, just walk away from him when he does it lol.

In your tournament matches arikie a couple of your dsmashes and dairs were unnecessary when you couldve used fair instead or just ran away.

Match1
I dont think pika's running speed is enough to keep up with nado so just cam when he runz away or take a risk with qac.

You also messed up with your qa a few times and sdd once with side b.

Needz more dtilt. I would say ftilt too but your kills were too soon to use it as a kill move but it is still good to use.

Dont camp so close to him at times.

On the 3rd stock you had time to react sometimes during his 0-54% follow ups.

You always fsmash when he comes in your space while your camping. You could use a grab since he running shield sometimes.

Whats with all the spotdodges lol?

That tjolt on match cost u was that a reversal on accident or a messed up side b?

Match2
When you actually use dtilt you followed up way wrong.

Why did u stay on the edge on ur 1st stock u almost died<.<

Again missdirected qacs and uneeded dairs.

Those spotdodges lol

That upb that killed u on stock 2 shouldnt have killed u...

The cg is up to 50% btw.

lol does dairs....

More camping dude.
