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.
