Pikachu was noticeably buffed in the North American version. | ===NTSC-J to NTSC-U=== | ||
Pikachu was noticeably buffed in the North American version. Its dash attack is stronger, providing it with another KO option, and forward smash has more range, making it easier to hit with. Thunder Jolt, however, covers less distance, slightly worsening its projectile game. Pikachu also benefits from the changes to gameplay mechanics more than any other character, due to the higher presence of [[SDI]] allowing it to escape combos easier (despite its forward aerial being slightly less reliable for combos), whereas the removal of momentum sliding makes its mobility one of the best. As a result, despite its worse matchup spread, Pikachu is considered to far better than in the Japanese version. | |||
