    Shhhhh.....Sakurai said the game is still being balanced....

      Alex Parpotta they’re still nerfing greninja

    • @___i3ambi126
      @___i3ambi126 6 лет назад +5

      It'll still be being balanced even after it comes out. Fast, combo focused characters like Pikachu are going to need to be strong competitively to be usable on a casual level.

      JP got a kill so they said they're nerfing.

      Timothy Daggs and he hits the puff instead lol

    ESAM, Pikachu could have no aerials, no tilts, no specials, no grab, and no jab and you’d still think Pikachu is the best character in the game.

      I don’t think Pichu was playable here

    • @vector3366
      @vector3366 6 лет назад

      Rayhaku808 I think no one used him because of the recoil damege

    • @theundeadgentleman4998
      @theundeadgentleman4998 6 лет назад +4

      vector 3366 They only had 30 characters to choose from and Pichu was not one of them.

      Esam has put a lot of time into playing pikachu so if anyone would know I would assume it would be him.

  • @theinktician
    @theinktician 6 лет назад +156

    Yeah that's cool and all but uh.........Pichu.
    The real goat.
    Nah, I ain't watch it yet. But since Pikachu has a few changes, do you think Pichu will resemble Melee Pikachu more?

    • @shieldlesscap6124
      @shieldlesscap6124 6 лет назад +32

      Pichu is broken because rage is still in the game

    • @Feather3
      @Feather3 6 лет назад +19

      From the trailer it seems pichu'll have some kind of stun mechanic. I just hope he has good normals.

    • @Twoby
      @Twoby 6 лет назад +6

      Can anyone explain how Pichu Works for me? I get that he damages himself with lightning attacks, but is there more to it?

    • @grotn_
      @grotn_ 6 лет назад +2

      Sotra Jerry Yeah that's it atleast if it's like how it was in Melee

    • @Feather3
      @Feather3 6 лет назад +9

      Sotra Jerry In melee Pichu was a sort of glass cannon/troll pick. He was basically bad Pikachu. Hopefully in this new game they’re doing a different approach, and as I mentioned earlier, this new iteration seems to have some sort of mechanic where he stuns the enemy.

  • @charliedickson1443
    @charliedickson1443 6 лет назад +17

    I hope pichu is still bad. I want a joke character to crush my little cousins dreams with

    • @pichutube

    Am I the only one hyped for Pichu? I loved being too small for anyone to hit, DI out of anything too

    • @1001011011010

      @ThePokemonFan14 6 лет назад +1

    • @pichutube
      @pichutube 6 лет назад +2

      nonononono, you are one on a large group of people, so many are excited he's back, it's hype as fuck

  • @KeertikaAndFallenTree
    @KeertikaAndFallenTree 6 лет назад +64

    I just want someone to tell me that Ness - Rosa matchup isn't a 10 - 90 anymore . _.

    • @nahheio
      @nahheio 6 лет назад +3

      Fal Kaëlis it's probably 5-95 now cause ness got nerfed. Unless rosa got nerfed also

    • @KeertikaAndFallenTree
      @KeertikaAndFallenTree 6 лет назад +13

      How did he got nerfed besides the UpAir change? From what I've seen, the lag after the PKFire has been shortened and the PK Thunder + Flash seem a bit faster. Didn't see the PKThunder2 yet.

    • @lucarionite1357
      @lucarionite1357 6 лет назад

      Of course it is dude, is that really a question you need to even ask? Find a secondary for all the characters with reflectors and absorbers, thats why the game features 65+ fighters...

    • @KeertikaAndFallenTree
      @KeertikaAndFallenTree 6 лет назад +9

      I just wanted to know if the Gravity thing was still as op against projectiles characters. Ness already has struggle to recover. Rosa just denies the possibility to do it. I will have secondaries of course, I guess Lucas isn't really different from SSB4 and there's a lot of new things to discover (Palutena be better pls).

  • @mcgoldenblade4765

    I wanna hear about how you feel about the new mechanics. More specifically the return of the directional airdodge and the staling in dodges.

  • @Ryoke-q3o
    @Ryoke-q3o 6 лет назад +2

    Seems fighters who were strong in the air in Smash 4 are insane in Ultimate, Air attacks have like zero landing lag.

  • @nahheio

    Do combos work similarly in this game with characters in general it looks like moves have too much base knockback to have good combos

  • @StepBaum

    • @williemshitner5466
      @williemshitner5466 6 лет назад +4

      he looks good af boi. New fair that slides at low percents fap fap fap means that footstool fair lock now isnt at 0. also gordo seems to come out faster.

    • @user2691w
      @user2691w 6 лет назад +1

    • @byronlopez3422
      @byronlopez3422 6 лет назад

      Maybe i'm crazy but u-tilt seems to actually start combos now (?)
      And he can swallow and spit gordos, which should be somewhat useful

    • @omnilax946
      @omnilax946 6 лет назад

      Byron Lopez I think he might be able to inhale any projectile and spit it out. Like villagers pocket. Or maybe its just gordos

    @digitalatom6433 6 лет назад

    I'm hype too, but not for any character in specific. I kinda wanna have a fresh start with the new smash so I'm gonna try them all and see which one I like best.

  • @Cosmic_God_Particals
    @Cosmic_God_Particals 6 лет назад +1

    Plot twist! Pichu was purposely made better than Pikachu. That would be one hell of a troll

    @BlueMoonXVII 6 лет назад

    That face at the end is glorious

  • @singleaye9599
    @singleaye9599 6 лет назад +1

    I think the important distinction here will ultimately come down to whether or not Pikachu can consistently kill below 120%, since I believe that percent starts rage if the indicators of the HUD lead me to anything.

    • @leech1355
      @leech1355 6 лет назад

      DogWalk13 so is rage still a thing then?

    • @yukicraft3210
      @yukicraft3210 6 лет назад

      Zoom! :3 it’s a thing, but heavily toned down.

    • @leech1355
      @leech1355 6 лет назад

      Yukicraft okay great, I can live with that

    • @singleaye9599
      @singleaye9599 6 лет назад +1

      Zoom! :3 Very late on this, but essentially, rage is fixed. Now instead of having a bunch of modifiers randomly spread out across percents, it seems to only work after 120%. Not sure it’s more knockback like last time or if they changed it to more damage.

  • @kendukin9725
    @kendukin9725 6 лет назад

    Check how jab locks work. See if it is like smash 4 where you can get 3, melee where you can get 1, or brawl where you can get infinite (oh god).

  • @naphero4660

  • @santiagomanzur1698
    @santiagomanzur1698 6 лет назад

    Seems like every other high to top tier was either mostly unchanged or nerfed. This sounds reaaally scary, especially when factoring the overall buff to edgeguards.

  • @eturnalnocturne5198
    @eturnalnocturne5198 6 лет назад

    ESAM are you planning on sticking with Bidou setup for Pikachu in Ultimate? Is that how you were playing when testing this stuff? I'm considering picking up Pika more seriously in the new game but am a bit wary of learning an entirely new controller scheme.

  • @angeryboi873
    @angeryboi873 6 лет назад

    Is there a chance that OoTGanondorf is just a placeholder and we'll get the vastly superior TPDorf, or even HWDorf?
    Also, c'mon Sakurai, we've been asking for Ganondorf to be his own character since melee, he's still just an Echo Fighter+...
    Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but we are talking about a character that has absolutely NOTHING to do with C.Falcon or F-Zero.
    The character has so much reference material and they won't apply it like they do with Link and Zelda...

    Pika power forever! I remember pika did get nerfed slightly from demo to full game in smash 4, so I'm sure it will probably happen again, but if most of this stays, pika will easily be top 5

    Viewing it through the eyes of a Sm4sh player, Pika reeks of god tier. But then again, other characters with better ground game may be much better abusers of run canceling and sloppy turn canceling, making them absolute monsters at footsies or walling. So there IS the possibility of Pika's insane air game to merely be compensation for other characters' gains.
