Moves
SSB
- B: Thunderbolt
Thunderbolt is used differently in the ground and in the air. If Pikachu is on the ground, it sends a small electric arc-shaped jolt that travels along whatever surface it is on. It continues like this for a while, even going on ceilings and upside down, until it dissapears. In the air, Pikachu sends out a small blue orb, that travels diagonally downwards until it hits an enemy or a surface or disspears. If it hits a surface, it will transform into the jolt and act the same way.
- B ↑ : Quick Attack
Quick Attack is Pikachu's recovery move. When pressed, Pikachu will quickly (VERY QUICKLY) travel in the direction the player presses the analog stick. If the player shifts the analog stick a second time, Pikachu will travel once more in that direction. The range both times is fairly small, so it is essential that the player capitalizes on that second move.
- B ↓ : Thunder
Thunder is Pikachu's most powerful special attack. When activated, a large bolt of lightning will come from the sky and strike Pikachu. Any character struck by the bolt in midair or near Pikachu when it gets hit will be damaged. It is important to know that there is about a 1 second delay between when the move is activated and when the bolt actually appears. Also important is that the lightning actually originates from a cloud way above Pikachu's head. On medium to small stages, this does not matter. On stages like Hyrule Temple however, it is better to be on top of the stage than near the bottom.
