PIKACHU Source games: Pokémon series First appearance: Pokémon Red/Green/Blue (1996) STATS: Weight class - Very Light Falling class - Medium Running speed - Fast Jump height - Medium Capt class - Speedster, Gunner SPECIALS: B - Thunder Jolt (source: SSB64, but analogous to Spark or Thundershock) Side B - Skull Bash (source: PKMN Gold/Silver) Up B - Quick Attack (source: PKMN Red/Green/Blue) Down B - Thunder (source: PKMN Red/Green/Blue) Final Smash - Volt Tackle (source: PKMN Emerald) HOME COURSES: SSB64 - Saffron City Melee - Pokémon Stadium Brawl - Pokémon Stadium 2 TAUNTS: Up - Warning sparks Side - Excited wave Down - Roll over SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA: --In the N64 game, Quick Attack did no damage, functioning more like what would become Pichu's Agility in Melee. Also in the N64 game, Thunder had infinite height, able to reach opponents as high as the upper blast line; the cloud appearing above Pikachu was added in Melee. --With its independent nature, red-team hat, Volt Tackle (a breeding-only attack which it still somehow gains in the anime), & the voice of Ikue Otani, Smash Pikachu is pretty clearly meant to be Ash Ketchum's Pikachu. --Of course, that's not how Volt Tackle works. On those rare occasions when my brother tires of playing Kirby, he either switches to Zelda or the electric mouse. I like playing Pikachu once I re-acclimatize to his momentum, but sometimes that takes a few lives. And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!" |

Gender: Posts: 29,118 Thanks: 2,536 Thanked 1,823 Times in 1,008 Posts | I love playing as Pikachu, but I don't do it terribly often because I have a couple friends that only play as him. Sometimes I play as him to assert Pika-dominance. "Aim for the horn"? |

I forgot to mention: The addition of the cloud in Melee & Brawl actually made Thunder more viable. Sure, it couldn't be used on everything above you like before, but now it works on stages with ceilings. And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!" |

| The Betrayer Join Date: May 2004 Location: Mt. Moon Gender: Posts: 1,813 Thanks: 171 Thanked 52 Times in 49 Posts Blog Entries: 1 | I only liked Godchu in the first Smash. So broken! PT kicked ass. I hope he doesn't leave if they keep four slots...(they pretty much take out the two new Pokemon, and add someone else. Latest, and 1st Gen. If they bring anyone back, it's the most popular one. ...Although I'd rather have had Pichu in Brawl anyway, due to having 3 playable Gens at once. ) |
