Some of Pikachu's KILL options: 1) Up smash : Pika's "main" kill move... A fast tail swipe, with low startup and ending lag you can't go wrong. Also covers Pikachu all around (front, top, back). Use when opponents percentage color is crimson (a fine detail most people don't realize). 2) Side...

Yes, because--like many moves in Sm4sh--where and how fast you move during Pikachu's "down B" (Thunder) depends your directional momentum at the time "down B" is initiated. @tebrowser - That's why you'll want to input "down B" while Pikachu is still ascending after a jump (when edge-guarding)...

Omg!!!! As if QA wasn't already a great move! They're loving on Pikachu this time around.

Yup!

Here's a very common approach I use as Pikachu (and one that's super annoying for opponents lol): ... Run (towards opponent) >> Jump (towards opponent) >> Use "neutral B" (thunder jolt) midair >> Once landing, chase the thunder jolt (as closely behind it as possible) as it moves along the...

Here's what I would like to see for Mewtwo's Up B (teleport recovery special): The following concept would be completely unique to Mewtwo and also NEVER BEFORE SEEN on Smash Bros. So here goes... SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS "UP B" (1) Mewtwo's "Up-B" would still be a teleport move. You disappear and...

Yes, Very complicated! Especially when pushed to his limits. He can be sooo tricky and hard to keep up with. And I feel you... but remember. You have keep the game balanced. And with someone as combo-heavy as Pikachu, giving him more "easy" kill options would be--frankly--unfair and unbalanced...

After being a previous Fox and then Meta Knight main, I can really appreciate Pikachu's speedy and combo-heavy play style: SPEED: Pikachu is so quick (I LOOOOOVVVE his QA). He is truly fast, and after familiarizing yourself with his moves, Pikachu can be very, very difficult to keep up with...

@Hoenn - fair enough. @Angiance - nice basic guide :-) I hope this upcoming Pikachu guide has a meaty section dedicated to the potential uses of QA. Am I wrong for loving "the best up B special" this game has to offer?? ;-)

Someone needs to post a PROPER PIKACHU GUIDE!!! Like wth!? I know it's time consuming and all but please!!

When I use QA I feel as though I am traveling at the speed of light. Light is what light-sabers are made from. That means... Pikachu MUST BE Darth Vader's uncle!

Nothing new here guys, but it's definitely worth repeating... Pikachu is an--all around--fast character. Pikachu's fastest move is Quick Attack (also one of the fastest moves in the ENTIRE roster). Taking full advantage, one should use QA as a means for traveling the stage as often as possible...

Yup, tons of potential!
