Unveiled at E3 2006, Pikachu (ピカチュウ, Pikachū) is a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In the E3 2006, Pikachu didn't show his Final Smash like Mario, Kirby, and Link did. Visually, Pikachu has barely changed at all from his Melee design, only being larger and touched up slightly. He has all of his moves from the first two games. He is currently in the A Tier and holds 9th position overall, making him much closer to his original Top Tier status in Super Smash Bros, where he was ranked first place; as opposed to his Low Tier status in Melee, where it is ranked sixteenth place. He is currently the highest tier character that has appeared in all three Super Smash Bros. games. Pikachu's decent killing power, quick overall speed, good recovery and edge guarding, good chain grab, and Brawl's new physics have helped he a lot; Pikachu is not so easily comboed anymore, its grab range is no longer the shortest, his Thunder is not as laggy, and it's gained various new tactics such as Quick Attack Cancel.
