Pikachu (ピカチュウ, Pikachū) will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. It retains its special moves of Thunder Jolt, Quick Attack, Thunder, and Skull Bash. Pikachu's appearance has been updated to match the most recent Pokémon games (such as the Generation V and VI main series games and PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure) and the Pokémon anime episodes; its model has been altered, and continues the trend of being gradually less chubby with each additional appearance. Pikachu is additionally significantly more brightly colored.
Confirmed information
Thunder can now meteor smash opponents who touch the upper part of the bolt near the cloud, quickly sending the opponent back down to Pikachu and allowing a tech-chase or followups such as an up smash.
However, this renders Pikachu unable to get early vertical KOs, hindering Thunderspiking in general.
- Down smash has higher ending lag.
- Down throw appears to have higher knockback growth, limiting Pikachu's followup options.
- Pikachu's Quick Attack can not be cancelled into the ground anymore, removing the possibility of the QAC technique.
- Charged it travels a greater distance.
The following moves are visually unchanged:
- Neutral attack
- Up tilt
- Forward tilt
- Dash attack
- Up smash
- Neutral aerial
- Forward aerial
- Down aerial
- Thunder Jolt
- Skull Bash
- Volt Tackle
- Down taunt
- Side taunt
- Up taunt
- Pikachu retains the ability to crawl.
