Who are you requesting?
A Pichu coach

What is your time zone?

What specifically do you need help with?
Improving my neutral game with the neutral b and finding some more ways to KO besides up throw-down b. Also edge guarding I could use some help with

How long have you been playing the game?

I have been playing smash casually since 2021, but recently wanted to start getting competitive around 3 months ago. I have been playing Pichu about a month

@umbral rivet (once you've done your more important assignment)

#

I think a Pikachu coach would also be a close enough substitute, if there's one lurking

queen dagger
#

I would happily accept coaching from a pikachu coach

I’ll be going other characters now

queen dagger

Ok

So to help out with the points you have:
For neutral you don’t really want to neutral b much, idk why you even thought that. Since you aren’t pikachu, you take damage if you do it, so you want to only use it a bit to cover ground. When you aren’t using neutral b you want to find grabs, down tilt or up tilt to start combos
To kill your main tools would be your kill combos. Up throw thunder is NOT a good one as you can always avoid it by simply using DI. You’d rather learn combos such as down tilt back air or down throw up air thunder to kill. Fsmash at ledge is also good as it kills early and is a good 2 frame tool that lingers for a while.
To edgeguard use back air or down air, simple as that

queen dagger
#

I guess I gotta learn the combos

umbral rivet
#

The only thing pichu has going on for him in this game anymore is his combo game

queen dagger
#

All I really know how to do is grab rn

umbral rivet
#

Little things like jumping every time you get hit or always recovering high

#

Will always get punished by players who know what they’re doing

#

Those two things are the main things I’m waiting for you to do and killing you for it

queen dagger
#

Alright, I’ll try to fix that

#

At least I took a stock that time

umbral rivet
#

True!

#

I’ll do like 2 more games

queen dagger
#

Ok

umbral rivet
#

Ggs

Ggs

#

That pichu up b is killing me

umbral rivet
#

So yeah the things I’ve pointed out are really what’s holding you back

umbral rivet
queen dagger
#

Yeah most of my deaths are usually caused by not knowing the up b angles I feel like

Off-stage n-air (I believe?) into thunder, where the opponent was effectively trapped between ledge wall and side.
