Note: Some moves still need to be further tested. Any contributions to make this as accurate as possible would be greatly appreciated.

Did you test short-hopped ariels? That could be super useful in, say, the jiggs MU.

 

[isaiah :)]

what about villager's bair and fair?

I did not test SH aerials, just for the fact that Pikachu can avoid most of them such as all of ZSS's and Captain Falcon's.(excluding down air) That is why your contributions are needed to make this thread complete.

 

[Zapp Branniglenn]

You're missing
Ftilt (up angled, not close range)
Ftilt (forward angled, maximum range)
Utilt (maximum range)
Utilt (when behind mewtwo)
Neutral B (uncharged, close range, projectile "waves" as it travels)
Down B

Also, you took care to try all the character's grab's right? I'm pretty certain some characters like Wii Fit have a very high reaching grab. Remember that there is a standing grab, dash grab, and pivot grab.

Thanks, added to the OP.

Don't forget he can crouch under most grabs like Captain Falcon

 

[Ritronaut]

Grabs he can crouch under would actually be really useful to test out. i dont really feel like doing it myself though

Your contributions would be much appreciated. We learn so much more by working together.

 

[isaiah :)]

ill start testing things soon so keep up with me and we can collaborate im moving right now , and where ima be staying i should have time to test things c:

 

[bakku-shann]

man I wish my friend was still over so I could test that out

 

[RunawayPanda]

Your contributions would be much appreciated. We learn so much more by working together.

Yup wanna stay ahead, so I will try to test out what grabs he can duck under

 

[Ritronaut]

I tested it anyway:
No being Can not crouch under Yes being can crouch under:
- No
- No
- No
- No (Bowser swipes down to grab)
- No

-No
-No, (though samus' grab is really weird for some reason, on the tip of it it only grabs every second time for some reason?)
- YES!, Well, kind of. If you are standing right next to her when she grabs, the tether will go right over you. If you are a bit away from her, you will get grabbed. (Hey thats kind of nice to know for upsmash punishes isn't it?)
- No
-No
-No

-No
-No
-Kind of, if you're right next to her you'll get grabbed, if you're on the tip of her grab range if you duck you won't get grabbed.
-No
-No
-No
-Weird thing where you sometimes get grabbed sometimes don't (You'll mostly get grabbed though)
-Weird thing where you sometimes get grabbed sometimes don't again. (mostly you get grabbed though)
-No
-No...
-No
-No
-No

Well thats 20 minutes I'll never get back. Whatever, at least we know now I guess. Pikachu might be small but his crouch is kinda terrible.

Oh guess I was wrong, but did you test dash grabs? Maybe that's what I was thinking

 

[Ritronaut]

No, I didn't test dash grabs, although I think I did test out falcon's. I am pretty sure it grabs pikachu as well.

 

[isaiah :)]

well i did a little testing with my brother and CF kinda misses sometimes when pikachu ducks right when he grabs but pit grabs everytime

This makes me sad. I am sadichu.

 

[Ritronaut]

Wait, Pikachu's hurtbox is smaller while he is ducking right before the grab? Are you sure?

Edit: Ok, I tested out falcon one more time, and if you are on the very edge of his grab range, ducking will avoid grab. But if you are near him he will grab you every time.

 

[Uncle Honey]

When characters are idle while crouching, some go into animation. This makes their hitbox smaller. For some characters, their smallest hitbox occurs during the beginning of their crouch. Kirby is an example of this and the same is true for Pikachu.

Another list to pair alongside this would be Pikachu's bair for whomever likes to lab.

Thank you for your contribution! I see crouching against ZSS in close corners very useful because not is crouching the best option since her grab beats spot dodge, but it also has alot of cool down allowing for a big punish. Crouch in general is good for the ZSS MU since it beats grab and paralyzer.

 

[JayWon]

if only Pikachu can duck under needles

 

[busken]

I can confirm Pikachu's hurtbox is smaller when crouching right before getting grabbed. In this vid Pikachu dodges Pit's grab. I would put the time but watch the whole vid you can learn something! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm-OUGofDWY
