Pichu (SSBM): Difference between revisions

===Tier placement and history===

Pichu was always seen as a joke character by the ''Melee'' community; from the very beginning, many noted that it was completely outclassed by {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, who was already considered a below-average character at the time. With its poor [[approach]] coupled with many attacks that damaged itself, including its own [[recovery]], as well as its terrible overall [[reach]], extremely light [[weight]], and difficulty in putting [[pressure]] on the opponent, many professionals laughed at the prospect of a serious Pichu player. It started out on the first [[tier list]] as 25th place, and has since consistently shifted from 25th to 26th and back, competing with {{SSBM|Bowser}}, {{SSBM|Kirby}}, and (to a lesser extent) {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} for the spot of the worst character in the game. It currently ranks 25th on the tier list in F tier, one spot above Kirby, the current considered "worst character," with many still firmly believing that Pichu is the worst character in the game due to its overall worse matchup spread than either one of its "competitors" for the position. It has made no impact on any significant tournaments for several years, as none of the top 96 placers of any major ''Melee'' tournament are dedicated Pichu players, and its only players are currently either inactive or have better characters to choose from. Pichu remains one of the most unpopular and worst characters in ''Melee'' to this very day, and it's not likely that Pichu's tournament results will improve.
