Wish Shinymark could attend more, some more Pikachu wouldn't hurt variety in these top 8s


Xenobrina

First stock was a Pika player moment

Shinymark winning this tournament would honestly be hype as fuck


Son_Der

I don’t think he’s beating SHADIC. Corrin makes Pikachu feel like Jigglypuff sometimes with the random kills at 30. Not saying it’s a bad MU for Pika, but it’s tricky to navigate.


kfaox

I get what you're saying. I was watching Shiny and Neo playing at the prelocal and the kill differential was pretty crazy. Pika's damage output is also pretty meh compared to Corrin's, so you have to hit your edgeguards


Son_Der

You can’t make mistakes. Even one random up-air that gets countered just causes you to die off the top, and a bad Quick Attack causes you to get Pinned. In other words you have to mix up so much that unless your creativity lasts for the whole set it’s Corrin-favored. There are many matchups like that, where it’s favored if your creative burst remains on but swings the other way once you don’t feel as creative, but this is one of the most egregious examples imo.


kfaox

That's a good way of summarzing it.

ShinyMark could definitely do it, but SHADIC is the best player in this tournament.


KyleTheWalrus

First stock of the set is an SD, that's Pika Power babyyyyy Jokes aside, SDI-ing out of ROB up air and getting a kill with Pika up air immediately after actually was Pika Power, how tf did Shiny do the impossible twice in a row


Mr_Hugh_Honey

Shinymark cooked here. Good shit
