Slasher Jakk pikachu really makes you FEEL like Batman. -dunko

😂😂😂

Slasher Jakk also Spider-Man

Disagrees in arial attacks

Slasher Jakk Disagrees in f-smash

Yes a big rodent

He stole Ridley's fat.

Fuck I cant unsee it

If he was any smaller, than pichu would have to be smaller and then pichu would just be an ant running around the stage

Ha ha smart

Same here, just wanted to try him a bit and make sure I know Pikachu but now I'm like shit I might need to start playing Pikachu, so much fun

Same I struggled to play him in smash 4

Same, I never really got into this game before even though I have the Wii U version. However I decided to put some time into this one and give it a real chance and now I'm hooked, this video helps a lot for someone like me who is learning.

Guys, I need some help understanding this video. What does it mean when Esam says that Pikachu's back air autocancels out of a short hop? Like, what's autocanceling?

@@felixpoggio8694 sorry to Coppy paste like this But---Auto-canceling is the act of landing during the beginning or ending frames of an aerial attack, thereby circumventing the landing lagthat would have occurred had the character instead landed during the middle of that attack's animation. Auto-canceling an attack produces no more landing lag than a regular landing from an ordinary jump (of which the landing lag tends to be around 4-6 frames, a very short amount of time), whereas landing during the middle of an aerial attack almost always results in a significant delay before the character can act (raise a shield, jump, dodge, etc.) again. Most aerial attacks can be auto-cancelled during both the first few frames and the last few frames of the attack's animation; however, some attacks cannot be auto-cancelled at the start, at the end, or even at all. Each individual aerial attack for every character has a specific auto-cancelling window (or lack thereof) that must be memorized and practiced. Auto-canceling can be very beneficial to players using characters with laggy aerial attacks, as this can reduce the amount of landing lag produced, and create more time for the character to act, potentially avoiding being punished during the move's landing lag. Precise auto-canceling of aerials is also frequently needed for performing followups and combos, so as to leave less time for the opponent to react and escape.

Look man as a competitive player I love to hear people just enjoying the game I don't think there is anything wrong with casual play or even using competitive play to improve your casual experience

@@kingrexy1047 thank you man! That's a great explanation! Do you main Pikachu? I'd like to train with someone who mains it!

i like esam, but can’t really make such a bold claim knowing how little of the meta has been made

@@bunabobby he probably means best of all time you know brawl smash 4

ESam probably didn't say "the best" because he has a lot of respect for the other big Pikachu players, and also it would sound a little cocky. But he has acknowledged in past videos that he has the best stats of any Pikachu in the world.

Hey axe still exists

@@genesisosuna Yeah, but if we're comparing Ultimate to any other game, it is closest to smash 4, in which ESAM was definitely the highest ranked Pikachu. Axe may be the best in Melee, but in the newer games ESAM takes the cake.

Upload the replay if you saved it.

A

Ke

Ethan Liu you didnt play with esam

You can't short hop in the air tho... and you can't recover if you're on the ground, because then you'd be on stage, meaning you wouldn't need to recover anyway...

Resurrect they said full hop??

@@guidomista3570 😂

that makes it pretty interceptable though since you stay frozen for a second, i guess if you have to but your recovery rarely doesn't have enough distance.

Helps alot

1st rule of popos training

Sort of, I mean both of them play the same way, but some of the moves that Pichu has work different in sense of combos and functions and but if you had the chance to play Pikachu before you can get used to Pichu fast.

DavidKyokushin its a smaller and suicidal pikachu xd

Devon Phothirath no. Pikachu is cuter

Zero made a good little pichu guide on his channel

@@TheSpeedlings fuck zero

MVP D ROSE found a salty boi

@@EthanGhere just about any character between 80-90%. Anything higher they won't meet the cloud though

@@frogshock9690 Nah, it's actually quite a slim chance that you will confirm the up-throw to Thunder combo, unless they don't know how to DI. It only works on CPU.

Tru

Welcome to the pika fam ❤️

Jacob Shawver Thank you!

I read that as “i main shrek” and got confused a sec

I'm afraid of Pikachu being a target for nerfs in this game. Been maining him since the dawn of smash 4.

Pikachu is most definitely really good. I'm not entirely sure about him being the absolute best because swordies are generally strong in this game and could be tricky matchups, but Pika has the tools to contend with anyone.

@@heavylobster4339 Iunno, Smash 64 proved the power of disjointed hitboxes on Pikachu.

@@archaicturtle3055 No nerfs to see. Even 3 years later haha

As a long time smash player I have no problem keeping up but I can see what you mean for newcomers

@@benjaminchen4367 so not beginners

To clarify regarding the comments below, I didn't mean a beginner who has no idea what Smash is, I've played it since the N64 days! I guess what I mean is someone who's never jumped into the more technical aspects of the game, someone who's only played it casually but wants to get better at it all-round. Some of the terms used here are done so as if we all know what the technical jargon surrounding this game means, and a lot of us simply don't. Even without the technical jargon it's hard to try and follow someone's tips when they're speaking through them so fast.

watch izaw’a “art of smash ultimate” series. super informal and even as an experienced player i got better at some things because of the way he thoroughly described them

He made a video explaining all the jargon he used in this video. He even said to watch it if you're unfamiliar with it in the first minute of this video.

Well its not that hard to find out. Go to the controls section of ssbu and learn em there

Welcome to the smash community!

One time i got two back airs into fair into turn around back air into turn around up air and another up air into fair BY ACCIDENT:)

waterlegend72 he's going to do pikachu for a big while

@@ryaniiidukeofthehindlands7848 lmfao as if it were that easy

HURB Moment I have a strange feeling that only works against you

The only difference is it's actually a tutorial!

Look at a video for the jargon

I usually buffer it

Tilt stick

C stick is always an option 🤷‍♂️

I personally use tilt stick

whats tilt stick

basically

Even then, his jab is ridiculously fast and still has a few applications, mainly just creating a quick option to stop something slower like a smash attack read.

Usercode 512 I guess it still is twice as good than Isabelle‘s jab... Still I don’t like it.

@@vengeflyking2722 you can also jab lock with it too which can be useful

Carrfam Isabelle‘s jab can jab lock as well. It seems like almost every character can do that nowdays.

Pichu is actually at least high tier in Ultimate. If you want to win tourneys, you should probably choose Pikachu. If you don't care as much as just want to have fun, you should choose which one suits your playstyle better; experiment with each one

Do what you want, but i prefer pichu

Pikachu is top-tier, which is better than Pichu if he truly is mid-tier

Guys, does someone wants to add me on Switch? My friend code is SW-2213-4380-9828!

Pichu's weight is a extreme problem to me and I cant handle fast speed.

And evolved

Yeetus thy Meatus Then we kill them

Pichu is awesome but a glass cannon. I don't even see why you need that mechanic where it damages itself. You can die easily at 60-70%.

Pikachu will come again

Check out the other video

With default controls, B does specials, and A does jab, tilts, smash, and aerials. Is that what you were wondering?

Parker king Thanks For This But, I’m Wondering How To Do All The Moves With Buttons On Switch

Does*

So you need to be the absolute best to be good with a char? 😂

Woooooooooooooosh

It's a joke, cause zero says it in all his videos and it sounds funny. Cause they all begin like that now.

@@wesleyh1400 FeelsBadMan

@Romnia r/woooosh

Luke M yes

Pichu is Pikachu but suicidal

I want to main pichu but I have to unlock him, by the time, I'll go pikachu instead

I tried maining him but I just cant play as him since his weight is so extremly light.

Pichu stinks

In a good way or bad way?

@@Solomon0424 Haha, idk. He's super fun, but broken at the same time.

@@dantemarinucci8765 True. :)

@@Solomon0424 :P

Unpopular opinion, but i think hes worse in this game. I'm disappointed.
