The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Overview

The hitbox of Pikachu's uair.

Pikachu does a flip while swinging its tail in an arc above itself, dealing 4% damage. The move is extremely quick and has low knockback, making it an excellent move for juggling and spacing. It has a disjointed hitbox as well, increasing its spacing capabilities. If the tip of its tail hits, the opponent will instead be sent down on a semi-spike trajectory, which is useful for gimping and can be deadly against characters with poor recoveries if spaced correctly. The move can edgeguard reliably even at lower percentages. The move is essential in certain matchups, particularly against Jigglypuff, who is floaty and has limited options for attacking below itself, making it vulnerable to the move's juggling ability.
