'''Pikachu''' ({{ja|ピカチュウ|Pikachū}}, ''Pikachu'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Pikachu is classified as fighter #08. | |||
As in ''SSB4'', Ikue Ōtani's portrayals of Pikachu from ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' were repurposed for ''Ultimate''. | |||

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | ||
Despite being a high tier character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Pikachu has been heavily buffed during the transition to ''Ultimate''. Its overall speed has been increased and most of its moves have much less ending and landing lag, increasing Pikachu's combo potency. Its most significant buff is its altered neutral air and down air, the former now acting like Mewtwo's neutral air and having combo potential, and the latter obtaining the ability to meteor spike which gives it two different attacks that have better hitboxes and better kill power which were some of its biggest weaknesses in ''Smash 4''. Back air auto-canceling in a short hop and sending in a consistent direction make it possible to combo the attack into itself at low percents and send people off stage in one interaction, which can immediately cause a KO against characters with bad recoveries. Its kill power was also improved due to many moves dealing more knockback, like dash attack, forward air, up air, down smash and Thunder. Pikachu also greatly benefits from Ultimate's mechanics as it makes its already incredible edgeguarding even more terrifying as it is no longer possible to airdodge through {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}}. | |||
Pikachu has been heavily buffed | |||
Pikachu | However, Pikachu is not without its nerfs, the most significant being the increased startup and ending lag on its grabs and the altered knockback of up throw, which worsens its combo potential with Thunder. The removal of [[Quick Attack cancel]]ling also reduces its mobility. | ||
Pikachu also still suffers from its weaknesses: lack of range, no setups for its KO moves, bad general endurance due to being one of the 10 lightest characters and having above average gravity and falling speed and inconsistent KO ability due to possessing sourspots on its smash attacks or attacks with below average power. It also is hindered by the buffs to swordfighters and the additional fighters with disjointed range, giving it new tough matchups. | |||
Despite that, Pikachu's buffs have made it even more of a potent fighter than in ''Smash 4'', which has led to many professionals such as {{Sm|Samsora}} and {{Sm|ESAM}} putting it as a top tier character. In fact, {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} went as far as to put Pikachu as the single best character in the game. | |||
===Aesthetics=== | |||
*{{change|Like all veterans returning from ''Smash 4'', Pikachu has a more subdued color scheme, more closely resembles its appearance in recent mainline ''[[Pokémon]]'' games.}} | |||
*{{change|Pikachu is more expressive. It now appears angry during many attacks.}} | |||
*{{change|Pikachu now faces the foreground at an angle, instead of facing directly forward. In addition, it always faces the screen regardless of which direction it turns, causing all of its animations to be mirrored.}} | |||
*{{change|Pikachu's cheeks flash white when it uses [[electric]] attacks.}} | |||
*{{change|Pikachu only waves once during its side [[taunt]], shortening its duration. Down taunt is also faster.}} | |||
**{{change|For its side taunt, the voice clip duration of the second "Pika" has been shortened; now cutting off prematurely.}} | |||
*{{change|Two new costumes featuring the female Pikachu design, which has a heart-shaped tail, have been added. These replace its goggles and {{s|bulbapedia|Choice Band}} costumes from ''SSB4''.}} | |||
**{{change|The first costume features {{s|bulbapedia|Selene}}'s casual cap from ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Sun and Moon}}''.}} | |||
**{{change|The second costume features the [[bulbapedia:Cosplay Pikachu|Libre costume]] from ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}''.}} | |||
===Attributes=== | |||
*{{buff|Like all characters, Pikachu's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes 3 frames to complete (down from 4).}} | |||
*{{buff|Pikachu [[walk]]s slightly faster (1.24 → 1.302).}} | |||
*{{buff|Pikachu [[run]]s faster (1.85325 → 2.039).}} | |||
**{{buff|Pikachu's initial [[dash]] is faster (1.8 → 1.98).}} | |||
*{{buff|Pikachu's [[air speed]] is slightly higher (0.9118 → 0.957).}} | |||
*{{buff|Pikachu's [[traction]] is significantly higher (0.0596 → 0.132), now being the fourth highest in the game.}} | |||
*{{nerf|Forward [[roll]] has more ending lag ([[FAF]] 27 → 29).}} | |||
*{{buff|Back roll grants more [[intangibility]] (frames 4-14 → 4-15).}} | |||
*{{nerf|Back roll has more ending lag (FAF 27 → 34).}} | |||
*{{nerf|[[Spot dodge]] has more startup (frame 2 → 3).}} | |||
*{{buff|[[Air dodge]] grants more intangibility (frames 2-25 → 2-26).}} | |||
*{{nerf|Air dodge has significantly more ending lag (FAF 31 → 51).}} | |||
===Ground attacks=== | |||
*[[Neutral attack]]: | |||
**{{buff|Neutral attack has less ending lag (FAF 22 → 18).}} | |||
**{{buff|It deals less knockback (10/9/8 base/45 scaling → 12/18 base/20/30 scaling). Combined with the increased traction across the cast, this allows Pikachu to connect more hits against opponents before they are pushed out of range.}} | |||
*[[Forward tilt]]: | |||
**{{change|Forward tilt has an [[electric]] effect.}} | |||
*[[Up tilt]]: | |||
**{{change|Up tilt has an altered animation, with Pikachu scooting its backside up to hit with its tail. This causes it to have less range behind Pikachu, but more range in front of Pikachu.}} | |||
***{{nerf|Because of this, it can no longer hit opponents hanging at the ledge.}} | |||
*[[Down tilt]]: | |||
**{{change|Down tilt has an altered animation, with Pikachu's tail standing more upright at the end.}} | |||
*[[Dash attack]]: | |||
**{{buff|Dash attack has significantly less ending lag (FAF 50 → 36).}} | |||
**{{buff|It has gained a [[shieldstun]] multiplier of 1.8×. Combined with its reduced ending lag and the increased shieldstun for ground attacks, this makes it much safer on shield, with the clean hit being only barely punishable by a [[shield grab]].}} | |||
**{{buff|The clean hit deals more damage (10% → 11%) with knockback scaling not fully compensated (90 → 88), improving its KO potential.}} | |||
**{{nerf|Its hitboxes have a shorter duration (frames 6-9 (clean)/10-16 (late) → 6-8/9-12).}} | |||
**{{change|It has a higher [[hitlag]] multiplier (1.2× (clean), 1× (late) → 1.5×).}} | |||
*[[Forward smash]]: | |||
**{{buff|All portions of forward smash have more horizontal range during their latest active frames (Z offset: 9.2 → 11.2 (early), 15.6 → 18.6 (clean), 23 → 25 (late)).}} | |||
**{{buff|The early hit has a shorter duration, which causes the clean and late hits to be active earlier, and the late hit has a longer duration (frames 15-17 (early)/18-20 (clean)/21-22 (late) → 15-16/17-19/20-29).}} | |||
**{{nerf|Forward smash has more ending lag (FAF 49 → 54).}} | |||
**{{nerf|The clean hit and the late hit during its latest active frames have a smaller hitbox (4.1u → 3.6u (clean), 5.2u → 4u (late)).}} | |||
**{{nerf|The clean hit has less base knock back, (60 → 50), reducing its KO ability and making it even less consistent.}} | |||
*[[Up smash]]: | |||
**{{buff|Up smash's early hit has a longer duration, with the late hit having a shorter duration instead (frames 10-11 (early)/12-13 (clean)/14-17 (late) → 10-12/13-14/15-17).}} | |||
*[[Down smash]]: | |||
**{{buff|Down smash's looping hits have a lower [[SDI]] multiplier (0.8× → 0.5×) and launch opponents closer to Pikachu (170° → 178°), allowing them to connect more reliably.}} | |||
**{{buff|The last hit always sends in the direction Pikachu is facing, and launches at a more horizontal angle (50° → 37°), improving its KO and edgeguarding potential.}} | |||
**{{change|The last hit has slightly less base knockback (55 → 51), but more knockback scaling (190 → 192).}} | |||
===Aerial attacks=== | |||
*{{buff|All aerials have much less landing lag (24 frames → 9 (neutral), 15 → 12 (forward), 30 → 18 (back), 24 → 14 (up), 40 → 22 (down)).}} | |||
*[[Neutral aerial]]: | |||
**{{change|Pikachu has a new neutral aerial: an electric surge around itself that hits multiple times, similar to {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}'s neutral aerial.}} | |||
**{{buff|Neutral aerial has a longer duration (frames 3-5 (clean)/6-20 (late) → 3-6, 9-12, 15-18, 21-22).}} | |||
**{{buff|The first three hits use the [[autolink angle]] (367°). This allows Pikachu to drag opponents down with the move and combo into many of its ground attacks, which is further complemented by its lower landing lag.}} | |||
**{{buff|The last hit launches at a more vertical angle ([[361]]° → 60°). Combined with its multi-hit nature, this improves its combo potential.}} | |||
**{{buff|It deals slightly more damage if all hits connect (8.5% (clean), 5.5% (late) → 1.8% (hits 1-3), 3.5% (hit 4); 8.9% total).}} | |||
**{{nerf|It has smaller hitboxes (7.0u → 5.5u (looping hits), 6.0u (last hit)).}} | |||
**{{nerf|It [[auto-cancel]]s later (frame 35 → 37), though it can still auto-cancel in a short hop.}} | |||
**{{nerf|Due to it hitting multiple times, the launching hit deals much less less damage (8.5% → 3.5%) with knockback not fully compensated (30 base/104 scaling → 50/140), losing its KO potential at realistic percentages.}} | |||
**{{change|It has a lower hitlag multiplier (1× → 0.8×).}} | |||
*[[Forward aerial]]: | |||
**{{buff|Forward aerial hits six times instead of five and deals more damage if all hits connect (1.7% (hits 1-4), 3% (hit 5) → 1.4% (hits 1-5), 4.8% (hit 6); total: 9.8% → 11.8%).}} | |||
**{{buff|It has lower hitlag multipliers (0.7× → 0.5× (looping hits), 2.2× → 1.5× (last hit)), making it harder to SDI out of.}} | |||
**{{buff|The looping hits have different angles (74°/280° → 35°/310°/60°/290°), allowing them to connect better.}} | |||
**{{buff|The last hit deals less base knockback (50 → 40), but has more knockback scaling (150 → 154), which alongside its higher damage output improves its combo and KO potential.}} | |||
**{{nerf|It has slightly more startup lag (frame 10 → 11).}} | |||
**{{change|The hits' timings have been altered (frames 10-12, 14-16, 18-20, 22-24, 26 → 11-25 (rehit rate: 3), 27).}} | |||
*[[Back aerial]]: | |||
**{{buff|Back aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 48 → 38), allowing it to auto-cancel in a short hop.}} | |||
**{{buff|The last hit always sends behind Pikachu, making it easier to combo and edgeguard with.}} | |||
**{{change|The last hit has less knockback scaling (180 → 160), increasing its combo potential, but reducing its KO potential.}} | |||
**{{change|It hits six times instead of eight with its damage compensated (0.8% (hits 1-7), 3% (hit 8) → 1% (hits 1-5), 3.6% (hit 6)) and its animation has been sped up.}} | |||
***{{buff|This drastically reduces its ending lag (FAF 59 → 44).}} | |||
***{{nerf|However, this shortens the duration of its hitboxes (frames 4-33 → 4-25).}} | |||
**{{change|It has an altered ending animation, with Pikachu spreading out its limbs while in a more upright position.}} | |||
*[[Up aerial]]: | |||
**{{buff|Up aerial's clean hit deals more damage (5%/4% → 6%/5%) with no compensation on knockback, allowing it to KO at high percents.}} | |||
*[[Down aerial]]: | |||
**{{buff|Down aerial has gained a clean hit during its first two active frames, which deals more damage (12% → 13%) and [[meteor smash]]es opponents (361° → 270°), with knockback not fully compensated (20 base/84 scaling → 16/86). This allows it to start combos onstage and improves Pikachu's edgeguarding ability.}} | |||
{{ | ===Throws and other attacks=== | ||
*[[Grab]]s: | |||
**{{buff|Standing grab has a larger hitbox (3.1u → 4u), giving it slightly more range despite having a shorter Z offset (8.1 → 7.9).}} | |||
**{{nerf|Dash grab has less range (Z offset: 9.8 → 9).}} | |||
**{{nerf|All grabs have more startup (frame 6/8/9 (standing/dash/pivot) → 7/11/12) and ending lag (FAF 28/35/33 → 37/45/40).}} | |||
**{{change|Pikachu grabs the opponent with one hand instead of two.}} | |||
*[[Pummel]]: | |||
**{{buff|Pummel deals more hitlag (3 frames → 12), but has less startup (frame 3 → 1) and significantly less ending lag (FAF 16 → 6), slightly shortening its duration.}} | |||
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (1.9% → 1%).}} | |||
**{{change|When pummeling, Pikachu headbutts the victim as well instead of just using electricity.}} | |||
*[[Forward throw]]: | |||
**{{buff|Forward throw no longer has any hitlag, executing faster as a result.}} | |||
*[[Back throw]]: | |||
**{{nerf|Back throw releases the opponent faster (frame 31 → 26), with its total duration unchanged. This increases its ending lag and shortens the distance Pikachu moves back before throwing, making it less effective for setting up edgeguards, while still giving the opponent enough time to [[DI]].}} | |||
*[[Up throw]]: | |||
**{{buff|Up throw deals more damage (1% → 3% (hit 1), 3% → 5% (throw), 4% → 8% total) with knockback scaling not fully compensated (150 → 129), granting it KO potential at around 170%.}} | |||
**{{buff|The first hit deals knockback to bystanders, rather than simply damaging them, making the move safer to use in [[doubles]] play.}} | |||
**{{nerf|Its increased knockback reduces its combo potential, especially into {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}}.}} | |||
*[[Down throw]]: | |||
**{{buff|Down throw releases the opponent much later (frame 21 → 38) and has comparatively less ending lag (FAF 44 → 52). While making it easier to DI, this noticeably improves its combo potential.}} | |||
**{{nerf|The first hit has been removed, reducing the move's damage (8% → 5%) and preventing it from hitting bystanders.}} | |||
**{{change|It launches at a slightly more vertical angle (80° → 83°).}} | |||
*[[Edge attack]]: | |||
**{{buff|Edge attack deals more damage (7% → 9%).}} | |||
== | ===Special moves=== | ||
*[[Thunder Jolt]]: | |||
**{{buff|Thunder Jolt has less ending lag (FAF 58 → 52).}} | |||
**{{nerf|It has less base knockback (25 → 18 (grounded), 45 → 35 (aerial)).}} | |||
Pikachu | **{{nerf|It has negative [[shield damage]] (0 → -2.5/-2/-1.5/-1 (grounded), -1.9 (aerial)).}} | ||
*[[Skull Bash]]: | |||
**{{buff|Skull Bash deals marginally more damage when uncharged (6.1714% → 6.2%) and has more knockback scaling at all charges (62 → 78).}} | |||
**{{buff|It has less ending lag it if doesn't hit an opponent (FAF 81 → 75).}} | |||
**{{buff|If the move hits an opponent, it causes Pikachu to bounce back in a recoil animation with much less ending lag (FAF 45 → 22), even if the opponent shields it, making it safer to use.}} | |||
*[[Quick Attack]]: | |||
**{{bugfix|Quick Attack no longer has [[RCO lag]].}} | |||
**{{buff|Pikachu's body no longer stretches as much during the move, which means opponents cannot hit Pikachu by attacking the space above it.}} | |||
**{{nerf|[[Quick Attack cancel]]ling is no longer possible, hindering Pikachu's approach options, especially from the ledge. }} | |||
**{{change|It has an angle indicator to telegraph Pikachu's trajectory. This may help prevent missed directional inputs, but makes Pikachu's movement more predictable.}} | |||
*{{b|Thunder|Pokémon}}: | |||
**{{buff|Thunder's discharge has more knockback scaling (66 → 77), improving its KO potential.}} | |||
**{{buff|The meteor smash at the cloud deals [[set knockback]] (74 base/60 scaling → 55 base/125 set/60 scaling), allowing it to connect more consistently into the discharge.}} | |||
**{{change|When struck by the bolt, Pikachu glows a bright yellow while flashing a dark tint.}} | |||
*[[Volt Tackle]]: | |||
**{{change|Volt Tackle involves Pikachu dashing forward quickly while surrounded by a ball of electricity. If this initial attack connects, Pikachu traps the opponent in place and speeds around the stage at different angles, racking up damage before launching opponents with an electric blast at the end of the move.}} | |||
**{{buff|Volt Tackle is easier to control, requiring only a single button press rather than having to control Pikachu's slippery movement.}} | |||
**{{nerf|Pikachu can no longer chase down opponents if the initial attack misses, and may [[self-destruct]] if initiated too close to the edge.}} | |||
