Overview

Pikachu swipes its tail over its head in a quick arc. Since the hitbox starts from behind and travels in an arc, it is faster to hit an opponent behind Pikachu, but is a good combo starter from any position. This move can combo into itself multiple times in a row against opponents at very low damage percents, and once their vertical knockback is greater than this move's reach, up aerial serves as an effective followup to continue the juggle, or back aerial can be used as a followup to start a bridge combo instead.
