Thinking about it, their differences really make sense. Pikachu is able to control his electricity more easily, but Pichu isn't. Since the latter can't absorb and hold too much at once, he always let's out much more. Pichu is basically Pikachu before he put limiters on himself. Due to this, Pichu has more electricity in attacks (therefore he's much stronger), but damages himself in the process.

[@TheGamersState]

When it comes to characters that carry over a lot of traits from another, I feel whoever or not they get a "pass" on it depends entirely on the character. For this reason, I'm actually cool with Pichu having plenty taken from Pikachu because, well, it kinda makes sense since Pichu is literally just a baby Pikachu. It's when you get cases like Ganondorf that I draw the line because for one, Ganondorf is the main villain of Zelda and secondly, what does he even have in common with Captain Falcon? Pretty much nothing other than them being Nintendo characters. Plus, if you've played any Zelda game with Ganondorf as the main villain, you'd know just how much the man has to offer in terms of a unique moveset. Pichu though? Nah, I'm cool with it, sure it would be nice to see him get his own moveset but as he is? It's fine.

[@mallowmarshian]

I’m not going to read this

Ganondorf was barely put into melee, the only reason he made it was because his proportions were similar to captain falcon, so they copied his moves onto Ganondorf.

[@KittyChikin]

As a Pikachu main, there are a TON of noticeable differences when playing between the two. Pikachu has much more combo capability, while also having more BS juggles. Pikachu's up throw down special combo is easier to pull off vs Pichu's, due to the fact that Pikachu's is slightly slower, but doesn't affect the actual combo. I have also noticed that Pichu gets Pineappled with his side special more than Pikachu's, maybe that's just bad luck, I dunno. For aerials, Pichu's fair and dair are easier to hit, and do more damage, but Pikachu's fair is easier to combo over and over again for a cheeky thirty percent. Pikachu has a MUCH better nair, Pichu's doesn't do as much damage, is a single hit, and looks worse. (Not that that affects the gameplay, just sayin.) It works for Pichu, only because of the self damaging. He needs a few moves that don't kill him slowly. I find Pikachu easier to play as, more consistent, and better in the combo department. Pichu kills much earlier, has slightly more powerful and fast specials, or any electric attack, actually, and is harder to play against. If I had to pick, well, like I said, I'm a Pikachu main, so Pikachu, but Pichu is no slouch. If you want to main one of them, here is my input. You like powerful attacks, while still being a quick character? Pichu is for you. You like characters that are good all around, plus a nasty combo game, but not Mario since he's too generic for you? Pikachu.

[@ohayogosaimas2286]

Nice, thanks! In terms of frame delay between the moment you input an attack and it's effective against the enemy, is there a particularly noticeable difference, if I may ask?

Dude you’re seriously underrating Pichu’s combo game. He literally has backair dragdown loops that can rack up like 90 percent??? Busted. And downthrow, Downtilt, uptilt, and nair are all insane combo starters. Stop beating up on my child.

6:38 I agree honestly all the characters you have talked about so far in this series use the same final smash and I think the following final smash should be these Young Link: Deity Link where it’s would do the same but the lightning and triforces could be light blue and I think it would be appropriate if young link kept the Ocarina of time final smash since the last hit of the move is a reference to Oot Toon Link: it took me a few minutes to think since he has a lot of special moves especially from Hyrule warriors technically but I think the Hurricane spin is a good idea, using this final smash would have Toon Link charging for a second then start spinning around and you can control this final smash but you cannot fall of the stage or get pushed by let’s say Mario’s fludd with it the final smash would last about 6 seconds before toon link slowly stops spinning and does that dizzy thing from wind waker for a few seconds before returning to normal, don’t worry Toon Link will be invincible during the dizzy part Pikachu: the libre, the two Z moves and the Gigatmax move are all really good choices and I’m gonna use the 10000000 volt thunder bolt and Pikachu would be sent to the middle of the stage and it would start doing that dance for the move to activate and then Pikachu would jump in the middle of the air the start 24 thunder bolts and 6 at a time around the stage and any opponent that gets hit by it in the air gets meteor smashed oh and also the trainer could be Elio or Selene (forgive me if I’m saying it wrong it’s been a while since I touched sun and moon.) then Pikachu would just back flip to the center the stage Pichu: yeah Pichu could just use the same thing he uses in smash it makes sense and if you would like a different idea he could use the Electric Z move and just shoot a big electric shock in front of him and go a little bit farther then samus’s but it just one big thunder bolt and wouldn’t be used exactly like Samus’s. Dr. Mario: like in his games could throw 3 big pills up then they would come crashing straight down and it’s a better reference honestly Mario: god what hasn’t mr. Nintendo mascot been doing since brawl there are so many choices but I thought of this idea when I thought everyone was getter a better looking final smash before I knew a lot characters are gonna have the same once just used in the same motion as before, Mario would grab cappy and throw him forwards and only one opponent can get caught by cappy and it 65 damage for the final smash ball and 45 for the final smash meter and if the opponent is at 100 percent they would be automatically K.O. them like Zelda’s final smash. If I can think of any other idea for the other semi clone or clone characters I’ll edit this comment and these are just my opinions on what the final smashes could’ve been so take them with a grain of salt please Thanks for reading!

I still think that it'd be very appropriate for this series if you did a Marth vs. Roy video. To anyone with even an ounce of time/research put into both of them, they're rightfully two completely different characters, but on the very surface or just to anyone that thinks the FE characters are a Pandora's Box they don't want to open, they basically have identical movesets.

I hate that Pichu's Quick Attack still damages itself despite the fact that it doesn't damage the opponent and it's not even an electrical attack in the Pokemon games. It's so nonsensical.

[@itsthenewisaiah12]

Ok just a note Pichu’s Up Special send farther but Pikachu has a better horizontal recovery because of Side Special Ok thanks, see ya

[@cjthegoldenhunter]

One has its power in control. The other lets out so much that it hurts to use its electric power. Pichu has uncontrollable power, which is why it's so powerful. Pikachu can keep its power in check and use it fluently.

InProgressPokemon created Piachu, who could become a balanced version between these two characters if Piachu were to be existent, canon, and then playable in Smash Bros.

Don't worry no pikachus were hurt in the making of this video but I can't say the same for pichu

[@hippolyte5248]

great video

[@felinumber1796]

Positive comments dude.

[@Loonawolf4800]

I don’t see why they didn’t put raichu in the game to so we can play all the evolutions

[@shazlx]

I wish they made Riachu instead of Pichu.

[@ThefirstGuardianYT]

Ur right about the down air thing btw I was trying it today

[@julo_ghost]

Pikachu is the best. He can do a loop combo with is down throw and is uptilt. (0-60% on everyone)

[@captainacorn7885]

The Thumbnail makes it look like Pichu just slapped Pikachu

[@bladewolfvii6383]

The combo set ups, and juggle tools. Pichus aerials are slightly worse for combo usage but they deal more damage on their own and have high knockback. Small differances, but most people argue that they make pichu stronger than pikachu.

[@jairbiggs2272]

And he also has his own game so that's pretty cool

No plumbers were harmed during the filming of this video
