Pikachu's best special however (and possibly Pikachu's best move overall) is [[Quick Attack]]. Quick Attack is completely intangible on startup, it travels a long distance, Pikachu can angle it in any direction and Pikachu has the option to use it twice in a row. This makes it the best [[recovery]] move in ''Smash 64'' by far, as Pikachu can travel a huge amount of distance with it, Pikachu can mix it up in a ton of ways and it is generally incredibly hard to intercept both due to the intangibility on startup and its mixup potential. This not only naturally makes it strong when Pikachu is trying to recover from a disadvantageous poisition but this also makes the move strong when Pikachu is in an advantageous position, as it allows Pikachu to go incredibly deep for edgeguards and still safely return to the stage. | Pikachu's best special however (and possibly Pikachu's best move overall) is [[Quick Attack]].

The move's intangibility on startup also gives the move utility in a ton of other areas, such as escaping fake combos and as an [[Out of shield]] option to avoid shield pressure.

Pikachu even has the ability to stall on the ledge infinitely, as Quick Attack can snap to the ledge and due to Quick Attack's intangibility frames, Pikachu can stall at the ledge almost completely intangibly, being the only character in the game who can do so. Quick Attack overall is one of the best moves in the entire game (despite its lack of a hitbox) due to its incredible recovery potential as well as its high utility and mixup potential. | ||
Pikachu's does not possess one single notable strength but rather, a variety of strengths which all work together to make a formidable character. Pikachu has great mobility, a great ground game, a great aerial game, incredible edgeguarding and Pikachu has the best recovery and escape options in the game. Pikachu can easily approach its opponent to start its strong punish game and Pikachu also has the tools to play a more defensive game if it needs to. Pikachu has plenty of strong combo starters and extenders in addition to strong combo enders and raw KO moves Even if Pikachu does find itself in a disadvantageous spot, Pikachu overall has one of the best disadvantages in the game, as it has the best recovery by quite a wide margin and Quick Attack is an excellent tool to escape disadvantage if Pikachu can access it (in addition to being a fantastic move). | Pikachu's does not possess one single notable strength but rather, a variety of strengths which all work together to make a formidable character.
