Pikacheap is one of those things you find out about an unassuming character in a fighting game. Much like how Dizzy of Guilty Gear completely owns, and how BB Riding Hood is completely and utterly cheap. Pikachu joined the ranks of that, till Marth and Roy dominated Melee.
What I speak of today is back when I emulated with the best of em. Having no disposable income of the sort to buy myself a SNES, I fell back to the still illegal emulation. That was when I discovered the predecessor of cheap: Uranuscheap.
Yeah, I had found a Sailor Moon fighting game back in the day, and every opponent fell prey to Uranuscheap. "World Shaking, World Shaking, World Shaking, Next!"
Till I met the originator of Pikacheap: Chibi-Usagi.
That little girl was a menace. Being half the size of most of the combatants, she slipped under a lot of special moves. If that wasn't bad enough, Chibi-Usagi had the annoying tendency of pulling a win out of her little butt when you think you had her. She summons Pegasus and it proceeds to hit you at ANY RANGE and multiple times till you're DEAD. I remember having her down to a sliver of life.
Me: I'm winning!
Chibi-Moon: Twinkle Bell!
Me: Oh BUTTERBISCUITS!
The last statement was more unprintable in those days, but you get the picture.
She was a menace. Is it any wonder people hate her?
