Pichu (SSBM)/Back aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Pikachu's back aerial.

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Similar to Neutral air, but overall less useful due to worse frame data, hitboxes, and worse damage output for its sweet spot. Back aerial's primary value is for specifically launching the opponent backwards. The effects of the clean and late hits of this move are identical.
