Pikachu (SSB)/Down smash

Overview

The hitbox of Pikachu's d-smash.

Pikachu does a spinning break dance on the floor that can hit in front and back of itself, doing 10%-16% damage and somewhat powerful knockback. This is a slightly less powerful version of its side smash, and seldom used outside of mindgames. However, it is a fast move to use, and has some good shield stun. It is good to punish with this move, especially against rolls, and can edgeguard some opponents as well. However, it has some noticeable ending lag and can be punished or shield grabbed.
