OverviewEdit

Pikachu rotates its body while pointing its electrically-charged head forward, damaging opponents multiple times, dealing a maximum of 11.8% if all six hits connect. Minimal horizontal and almost inexistent vertical range, but its low ending and landing lag make it effective in combos when used properly.

Update HistoryEdit

  9.0.0

  •   Forward aerial's looping hits launch slightly more inward with their upper hitboxes (310°/290° → 290°/280°), causing it to connect more reliably if Pikachu is moving downward or relatively slowly, but less reliably if moving too fast upward and/or forward.
