Super Smash Bros Melee Character Profiles: Pikachu |
First appearance: Pokémon Red and Blue (09/1998)

Pikachu is one of the 14 characters playable right from the start of the game, he is a very overlooked character. People often pass him off as "just a pokemon" but in fact technically he is one of the best characters in the game. He has very good speed allowing him to beat other slower characters to items of greater importance such as hammers, pokéballs, and stars. He also has a great jump allowing him to get back to the platform easier after being knocked off, and if his jump won't do his quick attack move is great for them last ditch efforts to grab onto a ledge. His attack isn't the greatest, but his special moves more than make up for it. Skull bash is great for getting characters out of the arena. Thunder is good for characters such as Kirby and Jigglypuff trying aerial attacks, and Thunder Jolt is useful for quick longer range attacks as it sticks to walls. All in all anyone looking for a strategic character could do worse than look to Pikachu.
