Since its absence from previous installments, Pichu was infamous for being by far the worst clone character in ''Melee'' due to its status as an intentional "joke character", largely due to its very low weight, recoil damage and vulnerability to chain grabbing, giving it very poor matchups and leading to its bottom-tier perception. Most likely as a result of this, Pichu has been significantly buffed in its transition from ''Melee'' to ''Ultimate''.

Pichu's mobility has overall improved; its [[walk]]ing, [[dash]]ing and [[air speed]]s, as well as its [[air acceleration]], have been increased, and it can now [[crawl]], enabling Pichu to approach more easily while being able to dodge certain projectiles. Pichu's combo game is noticeably more varied as a result of its improved mobility, many of its ground moves and some of its aerials dealing less knockback and/or sending at more desirable angles, and its multi-hit moves being significantly more consistent due to the weakening of [[SDI]]. Its weight was also increased, allowing it to survive for longer, though its endurance is still the overall worst in the game. [[Agility]] also travels a slightly longer distance, significantly improving its offstage survivability.
