How to pull out Pikachu's D-tilt into jab lock consistently?

Solution 1:

I figured that if there was anyone to turn to for advice, it would be arguably the world's best Pikachu player, ESAM. The guy posts tutorials and guides on his YouTube for all things Pikachu, and this video should show you what to do!

When the enemy is at around 90-100%, D-tilt will force a tech situation. If the enemy misses that tech, you have the opportunity to run up and begin a jab lock. You can only jab 3 times before a neutral get-up is forced on the enemy, so after your third jab, perform your smash attack of choice.

ESAM does mention that this technique stops working at around 110%, as d-tilt begins to send the enemy too far, allowing for adequate time to time a tech or perform a get-up attack.

Practice makes perfect, and although I don't play Pikachu, hitting the lab (as they say!) is the best way to learn!
