It was really hard to follow while you did it on shield. But once you started hitting megaman I think it made sense. So basically you're doing the SAME input, but if it hits shield you wind up QA away from the opponent, but if it hits THEM you wind up QA back into place to combo them. That would be busted
@@reinkdesigns If I'm understanding the video right, the c stick is the safe option (Quick Attack *away*). Because the on-shield hitstun is 7 frames, and the confirmed hitstun is 10 frames. So no matter what, you're inputting c stick away, and the (regular?) stick towards your opponent on the 7th frame of contact. The c stick input only overrides the regular stick for 3 frames. So, if you hit your opponent's shield, then on frame 8 you'll be out of hitstun, and the c stick input is currently overriding the regular stick, so you Quick Attack away from your opponent to safety. If, instead, you get a confirmed hit on your opponent, then on frame *11* you'll be out of hitstun, and the c stick's 3-frame window will have passed, so you Quick Attack towards your opponent and follow-up with a second hit that can combo into other moves.
So basically: If QA 1 hits a shield, there are 7 frames of hitlag. If it hits an opponent, there are 10 frames of hitlag. If you press the c stick instead of the control stick for QA 2, you control QA using the c stick instead. It has a 7 frame buffer, which means if you input the move, it has up to 7 frames to actually come out. So, if you QA 2 using the c stick in the 7 frame buffer window, Pikachu can do different things depending on what the opponent does. If they shield the attack, Pikachu will go through them and land at a safe distance. If they don't shield QA 1 and instead get hit by it, Pikachu will go through the opponent twice, ending up at around the same place he started, but can now start a combo because the QA has good hitstun. This is significant because you can cover multiple outcomes using the same input and still come out on top, either with a free combo or being a safe distance away from your opponent.
@@zovrah9993 Why doesnt the game follow the c-stick input even if you hit the opponent? Seems like it follows the control stick on hit & whiff and the C stick on shield
the cstick only overrides the analog stick for 4 frames. the timing for getting the cstick angle on shield is only in that window, and on hit the window for it is later. so assuming you do every input at the same timing, your cstick input is too early to affect anything when you hit the opponent
Could you do "beefy up Bs" with quick attack to go past ledge? Sense the C-stick takes priority would holding down on the L-stick ignore ledge? Of course it would be better to go to ledge but if it works, it can be a mix up to hit someone from below ledge with quick attack.
I am neither a good player nor a Pika player but i still think it’s very cool and i love to see the breakdown!! I hope to run into you at Battle of BC in june!
Hey Esam Iwas labing some combos with Pika and I accidentally quick attacked twice upwards. No angle change... I have been trying sooo hard to recreat it. Has this ever happened to you?
The c stick is so weird in this game, but it’s really cool Another C stick trick Riddles taught his stream was for the fgc characters, I’ll explain with Terry because it’s easiest. If you hold down on the left stick and quickly do 2 flicks down on the c stick, but hold the second one, the c stick actually holds the input, in this case, charged input up b. This allows you to move around without holding down, and you can still jump, shield, and use a attacks, then when you flick the c stick up and do an up b, it does the input one. Similarly this is used for Kazuya crouch dash.
Ive been focusing on quick attack since i started playing pika last year, quick attack is so strong if you manage to move around faster then your opponent, i spam it and have broken 3 controllers trying to perfect it Unless im in the zone i cannot hit 6 quick attacks in a row, but ive quick attacked through people constantly like youve shown in the video, i do it to daze and confuse them, ive gone so hard before ive made people quit online and 99% of pikas online cant even follow me, nor do they quick attack like me. Btw you inspired me to use pika, hes one of my favorites, online my name is Busted thanks to you esam lol
anyone knows if it requires mods to make it so the enemy makes a certain action in training mode? idk how he can make the opponent shield forever and I wanna know how to do so
Mark my words: once the slingshot tech will be mastered and widely used in competitive play, the power gap between the top tiers and the low tiers will be overall wider than it's right now. I'd love to be wrong but I don't think that'll be the case.
Good reminder that Pikachu was never nerf but rather BUFFED though-out Ultimate's life. Nintendo's agenda is strong with Pikachu, top or viable char at EVERY Smash game.
Oh wow its really good, but its hard to practice you can't really tell if you're doing it right. Atleast knowing it exist is nice, I'll know what to practice against my friend instead of straight up bodying them XD
THIS TECH MAKES QUICK ATTACK BROKEN!! So to do this technique, you must press up and b together, then press the control stick in two other directions. Thank you for coming to my ted talk
For those who don't know, this also applies with other characters such as Pichu, Sephiroth and those with multi-angle recovery, allowing different mix-up options for those specific cast, but most useful with Pikachu.
No it doesn't work with either of those. Sephiroth only uses 1 angle and Pichu doesn't have a hitbox so you can't do the same timing and get different angles as either. You can just input the move with the c-stick which is pointless in those cases
Finally, something to make quick attack broken. Because it absolutely wasn't broken before. But now it is.
LMAO
True
Well, it's a broken move, to recover
@@Johnny_0202 r/woosh
Lol exactly. I think it’s so funny that Esam keeps his own cred as a top player despite rarely if ever attending top tier events

"this tech makes QUICK ATTACK broken"

Everyone else: "oh no..."
I’m a Kirby main with some pikachu experience, perhaps I will need to make a swap
bro he’s finally posting the tech vids, WE NEED A SHORT HOP UP AIR VIDDD
Press up air and jump at same time 💀 kek
The macro for short hop aerials is just jump and a but directional

Wow quick attack is -36 on shield, it must be really bad and super punishable right 😱

Ellinia Slime Tree - Missing You track is my absolute favorite song from the Maplestory OST! Keep the Maple bgm coming!
So much nostalgia farming in slime tree
New Tech?!?
UHH OHHH BACK TO THE LAB AGAIN
Maplestory OST got me in the feels. Broken tech btw
3:43 I heard “You are missing the timing…” and immediately forgot what game I was watching
scrap recycler flashbacks
That maplestory music really hits me in the nostalgia. So calming...

alot of ken players use this with their combos.
It took me a while to understand, but I finally got it. Thanks for the video
Ive been focusing on quick attack since i started playing pika last year, quick attack is so strong if you manage to move around faster then your opponent, i spam it and have broken 3 controllers trying to perfect it
Unless im in the zone i cannot hit 6 quick attacks in a row, but ive quick attacked through people constantly like youve shown in the video, i do it to daze and confuse them, ive gone so hard before ive made people quit online and 99% of pikas online cant even follow me, nor do they quick attack like me. Btw you inspired me to use pika, hes one of my favorites, online my name is Busted thanks to you esam lol
7:13 i appreciate all your pika tech ESAM thank you 🙏
Well shit, now I gotta think of other applications. Do you happen to know the order in which inputs are prioritized?
I know you said these videos are a lot of work so no pressure but do you still plan on making a video about the z-drop -> nair loops/pseudo-infinite?
How did you get this overlay, is it through OBS or is it in your actual game
How do you quick attack the same direction twice?
anyone knows if it requires mods to make it so the enemy makes a certain action in training mode? idk how he can make the opponent shield forever and I wanna know how to do so
Definitely modded
Mark my words: once the slingshot tech will be mastered and widely used in competitive play, the power gap between the top tiers and the low tiers will be overall wider than it's right now.
I'd love to be wrong but I don't think that'll be the case.
@@dreggsmcgee7310 Ok, so assuming you're right, what about the other half of the cast?
Does the c-stick thing go out the window if you have tilt or special stick?
I dont think that matters

That title makes it seem as if quick attack isn’t already broken
this video is just a myth
Actually an option select
hey that's maplestory music
Getting a new controller time to start nerd necking
now combine sling shot tech with QA tech.
no
Again telling Pika's broken ! That's crazy ! XD
sir this is a wendy's
here I thought this was some new application of Quick attack using Slingshot. I'm shocked that this wasn't discovered until now
Oh wow its really good, but its hard to practice you can't really tell if you're doing it right.
Atleast knowing it exist is nice, I'll know what to practice against my friend instead of straight up bodying them XD
C stick is for people who want everything easy in life. Work hard no carried stick##
Too busy reacting to a stationary unshielding bot loll😂
Soooo how is this different from normal quick attack? I see no difference
You input both at the same time and get the one u want always
@@imESAM ohhhhh ok. I can kinda see what you mean. Thanks for the clarification!
i saw this when he tweeted this amazing tech. totally related to me i need all the tech and vids for double down.
