Sometimes showing people a combo isn't enough to understand, so here are a lot of Pikachu's general combos and techniques done with an input viewer.

When you said they added an input display, I was expecting something like a normal display, but this is even cooler! The fact it shows the frame durations is badass and extremely useful. Kudos to the modders for doing this stuff

[@rednuhT]

For those who may not know, use your keyboard's comma "," or period "." buttons to watch the video frame by frame to see the inputs more easily. (Assuming you're on a computer)

Te quiero mucho, Esam. Miro tus videos y me ayudan a poner en práctica. Saludos desde Mx. Espero verte en el próximo Delfino Maza el próximo año. Psdt: yo vivo en Maza. Lol Love U, Esam. I watch your videos and they help me to practice. Greetings from Mx. Hope to see you in Delfino Maza next year. Psdt: I'm living in Maza, lol.

1:50-2:08 That's such a simple but helpful hint. This whole time I've been doing exactly that and wondering why what I was doing looked so different 😅

[@bair_oos]

I have to learn how to do that turbo tbag, gonna start practicing today lmao

[@MrApple-vv8yb]

When I saw the title and thumbnail I was scared that pika would become Kazuya 2

[@djhanirharrissmith4494]

Nah, Kazuya is Pikachu 2

[@jiwooie_]

​@djhanirharrissmith4494 are we forgetting about luigi? 😂

That would be the good ending

[@earl9524]

The Yellow One has spoken, time for some serious damage. 😂 Great video!

[@justalex3880]

Very helpful video! Thank you ESAM!

[@Master_Byron]

Tysm im finna be coooooooooooooking

[@ellyna-june]

As a beginner it helps a lot, thanks !

[@thebestSteven]

finally. I need to play smash later today, and I don't have a switch, so I've been searching for videos about the actual buttons I need to press. I've played all the smash games in the past, but never owned them, so like I know the basic mechanics, just don't know the button combos.

[@abzgh3815]

Really useful! Thanks. Can you show wall-jump reverse thunder landing on stage?

[@slmille4]

yes thank you!

[@Xander_Cruz]

just picking up pikachu, hope i can do okay. thanks ESAM :)))

[@JiraiyaSanninPervySage]

This is really fucking helpful actually thank you ESAM ❤

[@stoneraptor6219]

What is the roll cancel grab? I haven’t heard of that before and it sounds somewhat self explanatory, but I’d like to be able to identify in gameplay on my own

[@nosdalgic]

If you input a roll you can cancel it into a grab if you push the grab button really quickly, some characters get a lot out of it, i think little mac is one if i remember right. There’s a bunch of videos on it though!

[@yr0610]

Trying to read the up air bridge inputs, but having trouble 😅 Like, he’ll jump once , but the inputs show three “Y”s in a row?

[@imESAM]

If i hold Y while doing another input (like forward and up cstick) it shows all of them, otherwise itd be misleading to how long i hold it

[@yr0610]

@@imESAM thanks so much!

[@yred9931]

Thx ❤

[@Mikexmerchant]

are you hitting all these on Smashbox? I just got the smashbox and wanna learn pika.

[@XxSesshxX]

Brooooo thankkk youuuuu ughhhhhh

[@jhix2400]

Any tips on how to land that first grab loop combo? My neutral air seems to want to launch the opponent instead of dragging them back down to be able to grab again

[@elelyonshaddai9807]

What was that wavedashy looking thing you did at 1:20 timestamp 😮

[@imESAM]

a RAR/slingshot

[@elelyonshaddai9807]

@@imESAM Ohhh, didn't knew that was a thing. Thanks for replying. Have a nice day. God bless you. Jehova loves you ^_^

[@DevilaDriver]

I really wanted to see some attacj cancel Bair chains. I keep sending them in the wrong direction T.T

[@samysensei5238]

Some brawler combos please!

[@Dribin]

I really want to mod my switch but don't want to risk messing someone up. It's annoying that when I'm trying out nair loops the combo counter doesn't say it's true.

[@edgarustian3948]

I know you use the box controller so I wanted to know, when do you most use the modifier keys. They have been the hardest thing for me to implement in my gameplay when I try to practice on the the box

[@wongshot2864]

Emmm modopack menú? How can I get all these training options?

[@didnthurt4077]

Hey, any advice for a boomer that tries to get into smash? 😅 Last time i played a fighting game was street fighter 2 a couple of decades ago 😂

[@Finan_w]

Could you do this with other combo characters like Mario and kazuya

[@skater3333ful]

why is it when I do the down throw neutral attack combo, the opponent does not come to the ground like they do in this video? Noob here looking for help lol

[@imESAM]

you probably need to delay your neutral air!

[@skater3333ful]

@@imESAM Ok thanks!

[@jasonvarghese8388]

Hm wonder if I should switch to a GameCube controller from a pro controller for these combos

[@isayahjenkins8922]

A controller is a controller, use whatever's comfortable

[@varunkrishnaswamy4252]

You can do them with both

[@imESAM]

the top 3 pikachu all use different controllers (i use Smashbox, Shinymark uses switch pro controller, H4 uses Gamecube)

[@126644]

How difficult are up air bridges on a GameCube controller?

[@zangoboo8853]

Do brawler next please!

Whats the song

Yeah, this is why I don't play Pikachu. Way too confusing for me. My life is confusing enough.
