Like {{SSBM|Kirby}} and {{SSBM|Ness}}, Pikachu was [[nerfed]] from the original to ''Melee'', albeit not as strongly. | Announced at [[E3]] 2001, '''Pikachu''' ({{ja|ピカチュウ|Pikachū}}, ''Pikachu'') is a [[Pokémon]] and [[starter]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Pikachu ranks 9th on the current tier list, in the C tier. This is a vast drop from its previous ranking in ''Smash 64'' where it was ranked 1st and is its lowest placement in the series. Pikachu, while nerfed from the original ''SSB'', is still a potent fighter; it has very good speed and plenty of KO options, as it owns the strongest up smash in the game and a quick semi-spike in its up-air. It also has a very long, safe, and versatile recovery. However, Pikachu is held back by very short range, with its best finishers having hitboxes very close to its body; coupled with sub-par options in the air and a short wavedash, Pikachu overall has a lackluster neutral game and [[approach]]. | Pikachu ranks 9th on the current tier list, in the C tier.
