Same here. It’s all about gangsta Pikachu (green bandana).
Squirty kicks booty too!
you know Terry hat Pikachu is the strongest
Found this on SmashBoards:
Squirtle kicks ass for his run -> shield -> up smash
TOO MUCH POWAH
Yeah, when your pokemon get tired, they visibly hunch over and start to breath heavy. I noticed moves had a ton less knockback and damage to them as well. It’s just hard to switch out pokemon safely, so its best most times to not, unless you can get some distance or a knockback to buy some time.
I personally like to start with Ivysaur, bullet seed is too good.
Honestly, switching out isn’t that difficult when you need to, it’s just a tradeoff: do you want to give your opponent a free recovery?
Agreed on starting with Ivysaur, I do too, same reason. Once you get some damage going, launch, switch to Charizard. You’ll probably have significant damage on you too, and Ivysaur’s recovery is untrustworthy at best. Charizard’s glide is a much better choice.
I liked pikachu in 64…not so much in melee. I’d just pick him and pichu in melee for cuteness factor. Is he better in Brawl?
Goggles Pika > you.
I’m just pissed they took away my Green Hat Drunken Irish Pikachu from Melee 
Pikachu’s FS is a such a bitch to control =/
Like Kirby, in Brawl he’s not as good as his godly 64 version, but much better than his garbage Melee version.
Pikachu overall seems to be a solid character. He’s probably my favourite of the original characters.
Here are some improvements I’ve noticed:
- D-Smash is quick and much stronger than before in terms of knock-back and damage, it can actually KO now. It also launches them almost straight up so you can normally follow up with Thunder if it doesn’t kill outright.
- F-Smash is extremely strong and seems to have as much range as Marth’s.
- U-Smash is weaker than in Melee, but it can be used a as launcher for combos.
- N-air comes out quickly and is pretty strong, so you can probably KO with it.
- F-air has nearly no start-up and very little lag so if your opponent shields it you can either try to grab or use neutral-a.
- D-air is strong and sends out a little shock wave upon landing that pushes away anyone nearby.
- B-air does good damage and has a vacuum effect on hit, so you’re pretty much guaranteed all the hits land.
- Thunder got a major buff in this game. It’s stronger, comes out much faster, and has a lot less lag when it ends. Overall it’s pretty spammable now.
Sounds like something from a hentai anime video. :wonder:
Pokemon Trainer used Bullet Seed on Misty’s face. It’s Super Effective!
Jigglypuff recieved 2 MAJOR NERFS THAT MAKE HER UNPLAYABLE!
1- Sleep is awful now, people like to say “it does alot more damage now with that dot it got buffed!” the only problem with that is that the only way for the dot to do you any good is if your opponent DIDNT DIE FROM SLEEP, therefore it fails.
2- SHE NO LONGER HAS THE CROWN!!!
It seems like some of y’all are underestimating Jigglypuff. Honestly I think she’s better then any of the other Pokemon, I made a thread specifically for her.
She most certainly is not.
I love Pikachu in Brawl so very much, he’s quick and has great chainability. Everything flows into everything else, he can pull some nice air to ground and back to air stuff, and his DSmash is almost Melee Peach like in it’s efficiency.
Jiggz is fun too, I’m still having trouble getting DAT REST. What makes things worse is that the hitbox is larger, but it feels much harder to hit with. WoP is still nice, and her air game is as good as it was in Melee.
You’ve heard wrong
Really she got an equal amount of nerfs and buffs.
Sleep is still hella good. It KO’s around 50 to 70 for most characters which is good considering the average KO is around 100+ for most characters. Plus the hit box is much bigger now and there are some very solid setups for it.
She most certainly is.
EDIT:
Her are some rest setups:
-Short hopped Dair into sleep
-Pound short hopped into sleep
-Reversed running rest (like a reverse Bair)
-WoP off the stage into rest(on a stage with water)
-Uair, Fair, Bair, Nair into rest (after stale move degradation)
Jiggz is not better than Pikachu.
No fucking way.
