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.

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Overview

Pikachu does a back flip, hurting any opponent who is near it with its tail. This is similar to Captain Falcon's up smash but with more range, power, and lag. Its overall an versatile and excellent comboing move, where it can combo into itself when used against heavier characters as well as any of Pikachu's aerials. An effective strategy that Pikachu can use is that it's up smash can follow with Thunder, known to be "Thunder spiking", allowing it to KO characters 20%-30% quicker.
