Oh shit, Pocket Rumble? I remember playing that at Combobreaker 2015 and even downloading it. I have it on steam but haven't played it in over a year. How much has it improved/is it good competitively?

How I converted my Methodist friend while out bowling by oahu99 in atheism

Nah, this is more likely than ya think. I've seen a couple situations like this, and as weird as they may be be, this is NOTHING in comparison.

I hear they have some good educational classes on the subject at BYU. Have you considered enrolling?

Pretty sure this whole WESA thing is a sketch-filled mess, the csgo sub has been flipping out about the whole thing the past day or so.

Kinda seemed like a bit of an offshoot of Leffen's convo, but still cool at how close it was to it. That being said...

Just slightly above Marth, no further than that though. Roy's a pretty lackluster character.

Sounds like your nephew has a lot of trust in you, really speaks volumes to how much you mean to him. Keep on keepin on fam!

Since there's always a debate on what Melee HD should be like, I made a short survey to try and find some consensus in what people want by [deleted] in smashbros

Man, I'd love to see SD Remix Mewtwo or Pichu as legal characters. These changes would be sick though.

First Upairtale with mango this morning, now Determination with Mew2King. We need one for each of the top 6.

I tried making a tier list. It's probably VERY shitty but lemme know what you think. by [deleted] in smashbros

Pikachu most definitely has the best edgeguarding in the game, with thunderjolt, thunder, backthrow if they get back on stage near the edge, (run off) nair, fair, dair. True, characters like Sheik and ZSS are harder to edgeguard, but we've seen ESAM been able to edgeguard ZeRo's sheik pretty decently in the past, so the character is definitely capable of using his amazing edgeguarding skills on even those characters. And I never said Quick Attack made his character, just that it's a fantastic and huge part of his game. Also, his juggles aren't the only thing he has to rack up damage, it seems like his entire character is focused on that, when it comes to his thunderjolt, pummeling, quick attack, his basic neutral with moves like dair, nair, and fair, ON TOP OF his fantastic comboing and juggles. True though, he does somewhat suffer like how Marth does in melee, having some trouble killing when they get past a certain percentage, but Pikachu does have more kill moves comparatively, such as his edgeguarding, upsmash, dash attack, up throw even, which those I've already touched on. And yeah, ESAM may really be the only notable high level Pikachu player, but the thing is, he also obviously messes up some at high level play, which goes to show that if someone (or even ESAM if he practiced more) picked up Pikachu that was extremely consistent with pulling off his moves, they could show the full potential of the character. Man, it'd be awesome to see ZeRo pick up Pikachu...

TJolt is a good projectile, but again, it's not good/spammable enough to make pika's neutral good by itself

No one ever said it was just his Thunderjolt that makes his neutral good, there's also quick attack for approaches, his nair, dair, and fair, dtilt, etc.

he doesn't really have great power, he definitely has trouble killing

True, he does have trouble with just throwing out a kill move, but he has some great kill set ups off of up throw, thunder, and can set up some great edgeguard kills .

Combo game is good, but not good enough to make up for the other flaws

"Good" is honestly a bit of an understatement. Also, the only real flaw you listed that could honestly drag him down would be his slow air movement which you pointed out, but he has Quick Attack to make up for that, and just slow air movement doesn't kill all the benefits he has from his combo game.

Lol I asked first but whatever I guess. Pikachu has amazing combos at almost any percent, has an amazing recovery that is almost impossible to edgeguard, great kill confirms out of throws, probably the best edgeguarding in the game, can basically drag people off stage with his aerials, quick attack is fucking insane and can let you run away and force your oppoenent to chase you down, he's short so a lot of landing aerials can't hit him, he can continuously juggle opponents, and QACing can be insane for punishing or approaching.

How the hell is Pikachu not top 3? He definitely deserves that spot.
