vs Pichu

[Jihnsius]

Last tournament I attended I was ***** by Pichu. Peach's gravity makes her a viable target for a lot of Pichu's combos, especially ones that lead into down+B to kill her easily off the top. Any advice?

Having just picked Peach up, I won't have much to say but.... WOW. Who was this Pichu?

It was Delphiki.

Delphiki is a good pichu player. ^_~

Being a peach and pichu player myself, its extremely in Peach's favour. (obviously) You really have to watch his approaches like nair, after all, they are pretty easy to follow up with another nair or some uair/up-tilt trixies. I suggest shield grabbing. Ive never vsed Delphiki so i wouldnt know a single thing about his play style, just look out for things like B spamming because its highly annoying. Also try to counterpick stages like yoshi's story or green greens (<-- if possible) because small ceilings = easy kills.

He can't spam that much. Each electricity, he takes some damage.

Really, I wanna help, but I've never faced a Pichu player (let alone, get my *** kicked by one). If anything, you should play them like they're pikachu.

Their Up B is slower then Pikachu, so you should be ready as to what counter attack you should do.

I don't think I was even given the chance to edgeguard him in that match... =/

Figured it out. Crouch cancel downsmash all of her approaches pretty much ruins her. Spamming nair doesn't hurt, either. Turnips don't really give you too big of an advantage since she has such ease avoiding them due to his size, although throwing them straight up can give you some defensive prowess.

Edit: And edgeguarding is as easy as downsmashing for sweetspots or upsmashing high recoveries.
