Pikachu (SSB): Difference between revisions
Improved move descriptions of bair, uair, fthrow, and edge attack for competitive play.
Omega Tyrant (talk | contribs) m (→In competitive play: We don't denote a ranking anymore like that, these are historical lists, not active best players lists, and anything about rankings should be integrated into the blurbs. Also putting the cleanup tag back on, as these blurbs are extremely basic. Finally, I removed the players who never top 8'd a major, how you can be a historically significant Smash 64 Pikachu without a single major top 8?) |

|bairdesc=Pikachu kicks | |bairdesc=Pikachu kicks backwards, its small foot getting slightly larger for a short second. It is somewhat slow although it has great range and knockback (being the second strongest back aerial), making it useful as both for beating other aerials and as a finisher. | ||

|uairdesc= | |uairdesc=Pikachu flips forward while swinging its tail around it. Its tail hitbox begins on frame 3 and completes an arc of over 180 degrees with a massive disjointed hitbox and no hurtbox. Considered one of the strongest anti-airs in the game, it's also useful as a defensive tool, combo starter, and spacing option. Combos easily into itself at mid percents, often leading to a bair or nair. | ||

|bthrowdesc=Pikachu puts the foe on its back and releases electricity. | |bthrowdesc=Pikachu puts the foe on its back and releases electricity. A much weaker variant of this throw would become its forward throw in future ''Smash Bros.'' iterations. Has low ending lag and incredible knockback, being one of the strongest back throws in the game. | ||
