The move has relatively unusual controls, as the player cannot control Pikachu's movements directly. Instead, they control a sort of pivot point; Pikachu gravitates towards this point with elastic physics. The pivot point cannot pass through solid terrain, but Pikachu can. The move's elasticity is reduced in its final moments, which is why Pikachu then moves slower and cannot move through walls. In ''SSB4'', a graphical effect is added to illustrate the pivot point's current location; while this doesn't naturally make the move easier to control, it helps the player visualize what exactly they are doing.
