can someone explain how to recreate pikachu's dair ground shock from smash 4 into melee?

basically it's when pikachu hits the ground with his dair which creates a large shockwave around him.

From the looks of it, Pikachu actually has this in Melee too -- it’s just a very small hitbox that's easily obscured by the graphic effect. Here's the hitbox without the graphic:


If you want to modify the hitboxes, the GFX, or the SFX; then you can reach them in crazyhand from the Subactions (All) menu:

To change the size of a hitbox, just edit the size parameter. It’s labeled there in the screenshot. You’ll also probably want to change other settings, like damage, knockback, and angle. In addition, the “synchronous timer” and the “Terminate collisions” event will create a timer for how long the hitbox stays open.

Changing the size of GFX isn’t possible without code, but swapping out the ID will change the effect to something else. You can also stack a new GFX on top of the existing effects if you replace one of the hitboxes. If you use a loop and a GFX with scatter on it, you can sort of create the illusion of a bigger effect.

Try experimenting. Here's an example:



Edit: less crappy gif:
