Pikachu (SSB)/Forward tilt

Overview

The hitbox of Pikachu's f-tilt.

Pikachu stands on its hands and kicks forward with its feet, doing 10% damage and low knockback. While it can sometimes be used to gimp fastfallers trying to recover, and has some very situational use in combos, it is one of Pikachu's most short ranged moves, with its range being shorter or equal to its neutral attack. It can be angled upwards or downwards, though the difference isn't too noticeable. Commonly considered Pikachu's worst move due to its low range, speed, power, and utility.
