Pikachu (SSB)/Back aerial

Overview

The hitboxes of Pikachu's back aerial.

Pikachu does a back kick while airborne, doing 16% damage and powerful knockback. Its small foot gets slightly larger for a short second. Being an excellent, versatile move in comboing due to its great power and disjointed hitbox, the move can be commonly used as a finisher of a off-stage combo. However, it can be used to start or continue a combo as well at lower percentages, and can be followed up by Pikachu's other moves, such as another back aerial, an up aerial, or an up smash. Great for spacing against many characters. Considered Pikachu's second best aerial.
