Volt Tackle
Volt Tackle is Pikachu's Final Smash attack in SSBB. When Pikachu uses this attack, he temporarily turns into a gigantic ball of light. The ball of light will then fly around the stage at great speeds, and the direction Pikachu goes during this move can be controlled by the player. When an opponent is hit, they take about 10% damage or 20% damage, depending on how much of the attack hits the opponent and how fast Pikachu is moving. The move has little knockback, barely stunning the opponent, but can rack up alot of damage. The move can deliver much knockback, when the attack button is pressed. The Final Smash lasts around 10 seconds.
Volt Tackle is named after a secret move in the Pokémon Advance games and later that only members of the Pikachu family can learn. This move in Pokémon is a direct reference to the signature move of the titular character of a Genesis game called Pulseman made by Game Freak. The move's look and controls in Brawl are also direct references to the move's look and controls from Pulseman.
