with her portrayals [https://youtu.be/WLmo93PtMZo?feature=shared re-purposed directly] from the anime’s recording sessions. | |||
Pikachu ranks 1st on the [[tier list]], its best placement in the series due to having many overwhelming advantages: its mobility is among the best, with fast [[walking]], [[dashing]], and [[air speed]]s, though its [[falling speed]] is slightly below average. Pikachu is notable for its amazing offstage and [[edgeguarding]] game, with fast and powerful [[aerial]]s that can also combo well with or without certain other moves, along with a [[recovery]] on [[Quick Attack]] that covers a long distance while also being unpredictable, as well as having some [[invincibility frame]]s and the ability to easily [[edge sweetspot|sweetspot the edge]]. While its attacks are generally fast, it has a few rather powerful moves, though its moveset is overall more [[combo]]-oriented. This is evident in its solid ground game, with an {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up tilt}} that can rack up large damage by chaining into itself and can easily combo into virtually any other move as well, along with powerful [[smash attack]]s and an exceedingly powerful {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|back throw}}. It also has a [[projectile]] in its [[Thunder Jolt]], as well as {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}}, which is notable for being able to KO near the upper [[blast line]] very early; the [[Thunderspike]] technique can easily set this up. | Pikachu ranks 1st on the [[tier list]], its best placement in the series due to having many overwhelming advantages: its mobility is among the best, with fast [[walking]], [[dashing]], and [[air speed]]s, though its [[falling speed]] is slightly below average.
