Pichu is extremely light and has a high falling speed, which makes it easier to combo and KO. The recoil damage gimmick, while toned down compared to ''Melee'', still makes Pichu's already bad survivability even worse. Pichu is also forced to play very aggressively and cannot camp as well as Pikachu can due to its recoil damage. It also does not have access to Quick Attack either, removing a vital approach and burst option from its arsenal. Lastly, Pikachu and Pichu's combo games are very different, but are at roughly the same power level. For instance, Pichu does not have access to Pikachu's neutral aerial, which is an incredible combo tool, and Pichu cannot chain four back aerials into each other at low percents, but its up tilt and up aerial combo for longer, and its down tilt is a better combo starter. | Pichu is extremely light and has a high falling speed, which makes it easier to combo and KO.

All in all, both characters have many up- and downsides compared to the other. Pichu being the significantly easier character to play of the two caused it to have better results so far, but there are a lot of arguments that point to either one of them being the better character. Both are good picks in the meta game and are capable of great results, with the one that is the better character only being very slightly better, | All in all, both characters have many up- and downsides compared to the other.
