Pikachu ranks 9th on the current tier list, in the C tier. This is a significant drop from its previous ranking in ''Smash 64'' where it was ranked 1st and is its lowest placement in the series. Pikachu boasts great speed and an array of KO options, owning the strongest up smash in the game and a quick semi-spike in its up-air. It also has a very long, safe, and versatile recovery. However, Pikachu is held back by very short range, with its best finishers having hitboxes very close to its body. This is further exacerbated with its subpar options out of its [[dash dance]], difficulty in dealing with [[shield|shielding]] opponents, and a short wavedash. Thus, Pikachu must rely on mixups and crossups to [[approach]] and find openings.
