===Thunder-Spiking===
Launching the opponent straight up (usually with an [[up smash]]) and using Thunder (Pikachu's [[down special move]]) is called "Thunder-Spiking." Thunder-Spiking is usually used as a combo finisher. Unlike Pikachu's Thunder in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Thunder in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' has infinite vertical range. This technique allows Pikachu to get a vertical kill at around 40% damage sooner than an ordinary up smash. This technique can be used in all three Smash Bros. games

This technique allows Pikachu to get a vertical kill at around 40% damage sooner than an ordinary up smash. This technique can be used in all three Smash Bros. games, but can be more difficult to pull off in Melee and Brawl, due to the fact that Pikachu's Thunder doesn't have infinite range in both games.
