Pikachu
Pikachu the Fighter
Pikachu is one of the faster pokemon in the pokemon series. This is reflected in it's SSB stats being the equal 3rd fastest runners in the game. Pikachu is also the smallest character, possessing a very fast dodge(roll) and as a result, becomes quite hard to hit. But great speed and evasion comes at a price and pikachu pays for them with it's weight. Being the third lightest character, Pika can be hit far off the platform at reltively low damages. However, Pikachu's QUICK ATTACK is by far the best recovery move in the game letting pikachu get back to the platform no matter how far out he/she is hit(Unless he/she is KO'd). Pikachu's ground speed and mobility  is only outclassed by it's supreme air air and agility being in most people's oppinions the most mobile character in the air. Pikachu also possesses some great fire power in it's attacks able to use attacks such as the THUNDER DRILL and TAIL WHIP to rack up the damage and other moves such as the SHOCK THROW and BACK KICK to finish the opponent off.

Pikachu's Tactics/Combos

Tactics : submitted by Espio - December 2001
Purple Camel is the real expert on Pikachu, but I'd like to help him out with the website a bit chipping in here and there.
Double Quick Attack
Any decent Pikachu player should be able to pull this off the majority of the time when playing with Pikachu(After much practice of course). When you perform the QUICK ATTACK, pikachu dashes in the direction of the control stick(Up if no direction is chosen). As soon as Pikachu starts moving, change the dirction of the control stick and pikachu will launch into a second dash gaining  rediculous distance.

Combos : submitted by Purple Camel - December 2001
Name: Pikachu Juggle
Procedure: Start the combo with 2-5 light UP+A attacks to get the opponent's damage up, then an UP+A SMASH to propell the opponent up high into the air. Then finish the combo with a THUNDER attack (DOWN+B)
Damage: 50 - 80%
Note: Very good Finisher

Name: Butt n' Throw:
Procedure: Tap A very vigerously, then hold Z while still tapping A.Pikachu will grab the opponent and throw them away.
Damage: varries
Note: Especially good for heavy characters

Name: Drill n' kick
Procedure: While in the air, do a THUNDER DRILL(FORWARDS+A). While pika is doing the drill, tap A really fast. After the drill is finished, pika will immediatly kick the opponent.
Damage: 20-35%
Note: Good finisher.

Name: Pikachu Special
Procedure: When the opponent is at a low damage, UP+A SMASH them, before they can recover jump and use AERIAL UP+A attack, the opponent will then do either of these two things, fall in front or behind you. If they fall in fron tof you do a Drill n' Kick combo, if they fall behind you, simply drift back and use a BACK KICK (AERIAL BACK+A).
Damage: 50-65%
Note: Good to accumulate early damage.
