Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Pikachu

The mascot of Pokémon is back for the fourth installment of Smash Bros., and brings with it its classic lightning-fast kit. With high mobility, quick attacks, small size and good projectiles, Pikachu is perfectly built for its light weight category, letting it weave around enemy attacks while striking with fast combos. The same strengths come with the same weaknesses, and Pikachu still has to contend with its poor melee range, having only its tiny limbs and tail for physical attacks. Not only is Pikachu lightweight, and therefore easier to KO, it also has trouble getting KOs of its own, which can be very detrimental if the battle drags on for long enough. Nevertheless, Pikachu is a strong choice for any player that prefers speed and maneuverability, standing among the likes of Fox and Sonic as one of the most mobile characters in the game.

Basic Attributes
Pikachu is, without a doubt, fast, having above average dashing speed and walking speed. Its jump are fairly high and it falls moderately quickly. Pikachu is one of the lightest characters in the game, making it easy to knock out, but it is also one of the smallest characters in the game, which makes it easier to sneak around attacks. Pikachu's evasive options are pretty average. Its crouch does gives it a very low profile owing to its already small size, and it has a relatively fast crawl to let it advance under projectiles. Note that Pikachu's tail is raised when crawling backward, meaning that some attacks might hit you if crawling back when they wouldn't if you were crouching or crawling forward. Finally, Pikachu has a wall jump, making its already flexible recovery even better.
