Byleth vs Pikachu
Playing as Byleth against Pikachu can be challenging due to Pikachu's speed and zoning capabilities. Focus on using fast-fall Fair and Bair to pressure Pikachu while avoiding his neutral special, as it can disrupt your approach. Be mindful of Pikachu's recovery; you can exploit it with precise edge-guarding, using Up-B or Side-B to counter his attempts. Additionally, leverage Failnaught to potentially negate Thunder Jolts, but be cautious, as timing and positioning are crucial to avoid getting punished.
Tips for Byleth vs Pikachu
- I try to resort to fast fall fairs and bairs to avoid Pikachu's neutral b while trying to hit him. When the opponent loves to edgeguard you with down air look for a chance to use up-b or side-b.
- ^ Pretty rough tip but honestly this is Byleths worst matchup. Guess you gotta learn how to two frame Pikachu recovery maybe?
- You kinda have to rely on tech chasing and reads to land a kill. You can try to snuff approaches with nair, fair, and bair. If you start a true string, don't follow up with a not true option.
- Failnaught can go through Thunder Jolts during some parts of their animation. It's not much, and you'll probably miss anyway, but it's something.
- ok heres how you play: first go to the css. second unselect byleth. and finally pick another character that has even a slight chance at victory besides landing a lucky shot
