Strange Pikachu Things... debunk?

[@burntsiennaleigh]

pika main here - my favorite strange pika thing is really obscure, but actually a pretty big deal - if pikachu is on the higher port number, his forward throw won't have an electric effect; it'll just have normal hitlag. this causes him to lose a significant amount of frame advantage on it, making it almost useless. in certain matchups, pikachu has to make a choice between a functional fthrow on port 1 or taking 1 less frame of throw hitstun on port 4, a choice i don't believe anyone else has to make.

[@NeoGraena]

Sounds wack, yet normal Oh ye, it's Melee

[@adamice2526]

Well as pika you want the higher port anyway for ledge grab priority

[@jameskotel6387]

This is especially important in Marth and sheik matchups if you want access to fthrow -> dair at the 90-110% range. Vs sheik, you have to make the choice if you want that kill setup or if you want to escape the CG much earlier

[@khal9514]

my favorite example of AsumSaus' attention to detail is the last video, when he wanted to be an "official KZbinr", he put himself between Dream and Corpse, who are famous for not using cameras, then announced he got a camera, i love it

This makes me even more impressed that Axe so consistently gets around Zain trying to edgeguard with down-tilt.

[@lagalil]

Zain practiced a lot against pikachu, specifically edgeguarding since they last met. Its looking grim for the rat.

[@adamice2526]

Well axe does his sweetspots at a distance where the extended hitbox is harder to hit. It's actually pretty strict to hit pika out of it unless you're very practiced vs pika

You!

Are you talking about the stretchy-chu or the momentum-chu?

[@DragoKirby]

@@nicocchi Stretch. It's a little hard to notice, but Pikachu does stretch in future entries of SSB

[@YadonTheCat]

@@DragoKirby But does the hitbox still stretch?

[@TZMHBT]

@@YadonTheCat I think it used to until Ultimate. It was *really* bad in Smash 4 cause multiple characters could exploit it, especially with 2 frame punishment.

[@Astrojandro]

@@YadonTheCat I remember it being a problem in Smash 4, so I was surprised to hear him explain it here like if it was some obscure quirk. I don't remember if it's still in Ultimate, tho.

[@jameskotel6387]

Hi kimchi here. Fun facts about Pikachu: Pikachu wavedash, normal landing animation, non l cancelled bair and jumpsquat all low profile many tall character's grabs for ranges of 2-18 frames. Pikachu's dashback puts him closer to his opponent because his tail extends outward and upward for up to 4 frames after dashing back. Pikachu's jumpsquat and wavedash tuck his tail hurtbox into his body mitigating the previous dashback problem.

[@verbosed]

I thought pika didn’t have a tail hurtbox?

[@namenamename390]

This reminds me of Bowser's pivot grab in smash 4. Sure, it was large, but most of the ridiculous teleport grab clips are because of hurtbox shifting and other movements

[@perkypears]

i miss smash 4 pivot grabbing it was stupid but really fun, and helped make a lot of characters with awful grabs actually have nice range on them

[@namenamename390]

@@perkypears I had a DK secondary so same lol

[@oireal7261]

As a Shulk main, few things were more satisfying than using Speed Art to pivot grab and slide halfway across the stage into a back-throw. Sliding grabs were probably one of my favourite things about Sm4sh. Ultimate grabs feel so static by comparison

I think one of my favorite things in the clips from tournaments is that whenever some bullshit jank, or disrespect happens you can almost always see both players laughing and smiling. Just having maximum fun. People get mad in other games when some glitch robs them. Its nice to just see people love a game so much, that even bullshit can't stop their fun.
