Pikachu was considerably [[buffed]] overall in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', although it received nerfs to some of its attacks and abilities. Its powerful down throw and forward throw chain grabs, which were a large part of Pikachu's previous success in ''Brawl'', were removed. In return, Pikachu's combo game has been improved, its attacks can chain easier, some of its attacks have better range, and some of its attacks can KO more efficiently. Although Pikachu was a high-tier character in ''Brawl'', many consider it to be even better in ''SSB4''. Despite having a rather small playerbase in competitive play due to its very high learning curve and degree of technical skill required, Pikachu is still considered a dominant force in the metagame thanks to players such as {{Sm|ESAM}}.
