Pichu performs significantly worse than Pikachu, being largely outclassed in most areas by its counterpart. The raw power increase on a few of its finishers is not enough to outweigh the utility loss across its entire moveset, but also the added [[recoil damage]] on several of its moves that automatically make such moves riskier than Pikachu's. Perhaps the single most negatively impactful change is Pichu's lack of a semi-spike hitbox on its up aerial, which makes it vastly inferior to Pikachu in terms of [[edgeguard]]ing. Pichu's loss of such an integral edgeguarding tool harms its viability significantly, as edgeguarding is considered one of Pikachu's biggest strengths, and one of the main reasons that it can stand up to the top ''Melee'' characters at the highest levels of play. | |||
As a result of its major flaws, it is arguably the worst clone in the game, and overall one of the worst clones in the series. | As a result of its major flaws, it is arguably the worst clone in the game, and overall one of the worst clones in the series. | ||
