===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
Pikachu was originally a low-mid to low tier character; many professionals thought Pikachu's heavy power, speed, and combo ability [[nerf]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' was unmanageable, and that it had lost all of its viability in the transition to ''Melee''. {{Sm|Axe}} proved this thought wrong, however, as he showed how powerful Pikachu was at [[pressure|pressuring]] the enemy, especially at [[edgeguard]]ing (due to Pikachu's notorious {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSBM|up aerial}} [[semi-spike]]). He also showed how powerful Pikachu was up close, despite its problems in approaching the enemy efficiently. Axe, and a handful of other dedicated Pikachu players such as {{Sm|PikaChad}}, eventually brought Pikachu up to the mid-high tiers, where it ranks now in 10th place.
