I know some people want to argue the current Tier List (with Pichu on bottom and Kirby right above that). I believe their reasoning is simply because Pichu has many more perks than Kirby. For instance, he moves much better, has 1 frame from his Agility landing, actually has a projectile to use, etc.
Well, that looks all good and nice on paper, but here's the real truth of the matter: Pichu's match-ups suck. Hard. They suck so badly even Kirby makes him look bad. I feel the real problem is the fact that he's almost as easy to combo as Fox, get's KO'd at ridiculous percents, and get chaingrabbed (or grab combo'd) by half the cast. (Even Roy has a D-throw chaingrab into F-smash).
Yes, Kirby's priority is bad, his tech roll is bad, his etc etc etc is bad, but Pichu's is worse (and you'll likely take damage from doing whatever it is you're doing as well). Pichu is so bad that even Kirby doesn't have too difficult of a time comboing, tech chasing, or KOing him. In fact, you can theoretically tech chase him with a grounded Hammer (a real tech chase mind you, not a "predict and hope they screw up" tech chase). Kirby can also KO him at reasonable percents with U-air (we're talking about a solid KO, not a "Hit him with U-air and edge guard him" KO).
