Talk:Pichu (SSBM)

Removed the "Most smashers don't know how to play Pichu", since that seems to be more opinion than whatnot. >_>

Added the fact that Pichu has one of the highest knockback F-smashes in the game, second to only Marth's tipped F-smash. o.O

The whole "Pichu in SSBM" section is nothing but insults at Pichu's expense. I understand that Pichu isn't exactly the most popular character in the game, but it deserves better than that.

Also, where "in the game itself" is Pichu referred to as a joke? --Inker

In some games, there are characters that are referd as joke charates mostly because the unspecific role in the game or powers, such as Johnny Cage and Rain from mortal kombat.--Fandangox 18:02, November 19, 2007 (EST)

Above is complete opinion. According to my sources there is nothing called joke characters. Searching for additional data... Information confirmed that Pichu is the worst character in Super Smash Bros Melee according to the Tier list. Searching for additional data... This doesn't mean that Pichu is a bad character according to my sources. Nothing confirmed about any expert Pichu players found. Searching for additional data... No more data found.

New information accesed. There are 4 professionals with Pichu in United States: KoreanDJ Chu Dat Azen t0mmy None more information found. This was an automatic message by AICM 411.

Pichu's Trophy

Shouldn't it be mentioned in the Brawl section that Pichu appears as a[n unlockable] trophy? Just wondering. (Mario66 16:42, February 18, 2008 (EST)) Wait I thought this was the general Pichu talk page, nevermind. (Mario66 16:44, February 18, 2008 (EST))

Pichu Damages Itself Con

It says at the top of the page about Pichu damaging himself like it is a massive problem for him. It isn't. Only 3 of his moves that do damage are worth using (B, ^B and Fsmash) and they all only do about 3% damage. Hardly a problem imo, I will change if no one disagrees Grim Tuesday (talk) 10:36, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

This is quite the problem. The up B itself does 4% to Pichu whenever he uses it twice. Pichu damaging itself is made worse by being the lightest character. Even if you try to use electric based attacks sparingly, you would often do at least around 15% to yourself in a single stock, which makes a large impact on Pichu's survivability. The point is, sure these attacks do 4% or less to Pichu with each individual use, but this damage adds up very quickly. Omega Tyrant 10:46, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Even if it isn't a huge issue (which it is, especially on such a light character) there is no way that damaging yourself with many attacks is not a con. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 11:14, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't say it wasn't a con Hawk, I said it wasn't a massive problem. I see many people thinking of it that way when it really isn't. 15% a stock isn't very much, Omega, I don't think it would save him in many cases. Grim Tuesday (talk) 07:10, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
