Smash Ultimate: Art of Pikachu

[@nixuniverse5240]

I find it weird how Pikachu is such a versatile character when in the anime all he ever does is Thunder Bolt, Iron Tail, and get knocked into walls.

[@NZsaltz]

Depending on who's playing him, that's all he does in smash too.

This is what I’ve gathered from this one vid Art of Pikachu Tips and Tricks Pikachu Gameplay Styles: ◦ Hyper-Aggressive ◦ Defense Bait and Punish Pros: Mobile Quick Hard to hit Amazing Recovery Flexible Disadvantage State Crazy Combo Game Good Ledge Trapping Can edgeguard in a multitude of ways Has tons of options Able to go deep offstage Cons: Light Has no range Whiffing is very bad Good Matchups: Characters with bad recoveries Heavyweights Bad Matchups: Swordies Neutral Game: ◦ Use Thunderjolt to condition opponent ◦ Controlling the pace of the game ✓ Defensive Thunderjolt ✓ Offensive Thunderjolt ✓ Landing Aerials ✓ Thunderjolt Follow-ups ◦ Quick Attack as Mix-up approach or attack ◦ Space with D-Tilt ◦ Mix-up with aerials ◦ Learn to pressure shield Disadvantage:  ◦ Learn recovery angles Highest Recovery: 1 -2 or 2 -1 Farthest Horizontal Recovery: 3 6 or -3 -6 Farthest Diagonal Recovery: 1/2 5 ◦ Use Quick attack to get out of bad situations ◦ Use Quick attack as a 4th ledge get-up ◦ Throw Thunderjolts before landing ◦ Use Wall jumps on the ledge to mix-up Skullbash/ Side B: Secondary recovery option after losing all jumps Used to stall landings Trick: When the opponent is recovering low, jump off the stage and Skullbash towards the ledge while holding down to get a 2-frame Trick 2: If someone is trying to 2-frame you, use Skullbash to stall and get below the stage, then use your double jump while the analog stick is in a neutral position, finally right after the jump, use Down-B. If executed correctly when under the opponent, the move they were trying to 2-frame with will be interrupted from Down-B, allowing you to safely recover with Quick Attack Punish game: Simple D-Tilt is Pikachu’s main shield-poking tool Shield-Poke Combos D-Tilt Dash attack D-Tilt Dashgrab Combos: U-Tilt U-Tilt U-air (any aerial) D-Throw is combo throw Landing F-air Grab N-air: Best combo starter from the air Is used in the incredibly difficult “Pika Loops” Combo At higher percents combos into U-Smash or D-Smash to kill B-air: Combos into self at low percents to drag opponents offstage Can combo into Thunder if the opponent’s recovery direction is read Can be used to stage spike opponents Has a landing hitbox Very good out of shield option Trick: Walk off the ledge and B-air, which forces the opponent to tech or lose a stock D-Throw: Blue Glow shows DI direction Best combo throw Used in the Pika Loops Combo U-air: Has a strong hit for juggling Has a weak hit for combos Trick: It is possible to edgeguard using a falling U-air into Down-B (Thunder) for an offstage spike ◦ Final Challenge 1: Thunder Kill Confirm (Only do when highly skilled as Pikachu) Is a frame-perfect trick U-Throw Down-B ◦ Final Challenge 2: Pika Loops Combo Very Precise N-air loop that deals a lot of damage D-throw S-Hop N-air Dash Attack: Kills at high percents Can catch landings easily VERY unsafe on shield U-Smash: Use out of shield if the opponent is in range Use for Tech-Chasing Has a super bad sour spot behind Pikachu during the move’s active frames F-Smash: Can do the same things U-Smash can do Does not have a bad sour spot like U-Smash Pulls Pikachu back on start-up Lingers for 15 frames or 0.25 seconds Running around and spamming this move is a strategy used in top tier play Has a VERY long hitbox Can be unpunishable in some match-ups F-Tilt: Can kill at the ledge at high percents Can setup tech situations Can 2-frame if done downwards at the ledge U-Throw Kills at high percents How Pikachu gets kills: Pikachu mostly get kills offstage He rarely kills onstage Moves to use for Edgeguards: Offstage Down-B (Thunder) Neutral-B (Thunderjolt) U-air (only below the ledge) N-air D-air F-air B-air (only below the ledge) F-Tilt (Facing downwards at the ledge) F-Smash (When used at the ledge against horizontal recoveries) B-Throw and F-Throw: Used for positioning the opponent in front or behind Pikachu Kill at VERY high percents D-air: Spikes at the first few frames of the move Has a landing hitbox D-Smash: Little utility Can be used against rolls from the ledge U-Tilt: Used in the Pika Loops Combo Combos into self at low percents Jab: Used for Jab Locks when the opponent fails to tech Can be used as an interrupter Edgeguard Trick: If your edgeguard fails and you think you’ll get reversed on, it is never a bad idea recovering to the other side of the stage Ledge Trap Trick 1: Use F-air if the opponent does a jump get-up from the ledge, or a neutral get-up from the ledge, if the opponent does a roll get-up and you are using F-air, you have enough time to react and get a grab Ledge Trap Trick 2: F-Smash covers all ledge get-up options except a roll, unless it is spaced properly, but doing this makes it so it won’t cover a jump get-up from the ledge Ledge Trap Trick 3: Using a jumping Neutral-B onstage behind the ledge can force the opponent to press a button at a specific timing, which allows for 3 types of punishes, for a roll get-up, do an out of shield B-air, for a neutral get-up, do a grab and follow up with whatever you want, for a jump get-up, use an U-air to possibly start an aerial combo Ledge Trap Trick 4: If the opponent does a jump get-up and you fail to read it, use Quick Attack to predict where they land and then punish them Pikachu’s Extra Mobility Moves Can crawl Can walljump End of Notes

You can spam thunderbolts like it’s a actual Pokemon game

[@briangeer1024]

Step 1: t-jolt Step 2: shield- poke bair Step 3: double uair offstage Step 4: PIKA!!!!

[@proballa27]

Quick note on thunderjolt: While it is true that if you buffer the tjolt while fullhopping you get to double jump after the tjolt and even confirm with aerials off of it, its actually faster and safer for pikachu to to not buffer the tjolt this way, and instead time it so that the tjolt animation ends just as you hit the ground after fullhop. Its a little weird to explain, but try it yourself and you will see what I mean. pikachu can actually get to the opponent noticebly faster this way because pikas ground speed is much higher than his air speed. On top of that, since you are on the ground earlier, you have quicker access to all your ground moves including shield making it easier to throw tjolts and even confirm off them at midranges instead of only far distances. both methods are used and the buffered method is useful as a mixup because it can confirm into landing nair, which confirms into grab, uptilt and especially downsmash and upsmash. Really good in depth video though, youve made a pika main really happy! Edit: I should also add its faster to spam consecutive tjolts with the non buffered method

[@espio23ify]

Good stuff - can I ask, is there any more nuance to how to effectively Thunder off the stage? Like, it seems like you pretty much have to double jump just prior to inputting down+B to halt Pika's momentum so that the lightning hits him/her. Is there a more reliable way to somehow get the lightning bolt to connect, aside from the obvious option of just stopping your movement in the air first? Furthermore, when thundering on the stage to try and hit opponents in disadvantage above you, is the best way to halt forward momentum from running a quick turnaround? Or just let off the D-stick for a few frames so you come to a stop first? Finally, do I understand correctly that unlike Pichu's thunder, Pika's thunder sends the opponent in either direction depending on what side of Pika they are on?
