I'm disappointed with the -> B. Honestly, I found it horrid and I know it couldve been replaced.

Really? I kinda liked it. I mean, don't get me wrong, the timelapse after it before he could do anything was terrible (just like most of his attacks), but if you could get it fully charged, it had some power to it. Personally, I liked to have it around for one on one matches; I'd toss it in every once in awhile just to throw people.

Do Pika's shield and roll still suck?
Does Skull Bash still suck?
Can he walljump?
What was crawling like?

The goggles are pwnful. End of story. If Pikachu stole Peach's d-smash, then I am infinitely pleased.

I am glad to hear some well thought out info about Pikachu because he has allways been one of those fun characters to use and the same can be said about Pichu. I am happy to hear that Pikachu seems better in Brawl over Melee and that he still has quite a bit of power. and the Volt tackle has impressed me since I first read the update, glad that it isn't as bad as some of the demo players made it look.
You can't go wrong with the Bandana either.

If the Brawl Pikachu is melee Pichu, I really hope melee Pikachu decided to pass down his blue party hat down to Pichu for Brawl 
. Seriously though, I would really like to know if the up-smash got better (or stayed the same) and if the down-B is more like Pichu's or Pikachu's.

About time Pichu became loyal to it's trainer (users), and FINALLY reached level 30! 
Level 30?
The spikiest tail in the history of the universe could not redeem how little fun it was to play Pikachu in Melee.

Agreed, Level 30? Pichu evolves through happiness...
Hey, I enjoy using Pikachu. And I love his tail spike! Although I think I like Pichu's just as much.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??????????!!!!!!!!!!!
jk
But seriously! Have you ever tried getting good with every character in the game? Their all fun when you know what you're doing!

What does Pichu's evolution status have to do with anything? I mean besides the rampant fanfic that seems to be going around about Pichu becoming Pika?
Anyhow, Dynamism, I like your thinking, but I could never quite get the hang of C. Falcon or Fox. Nothing like going down the list and beating someone with each character, though. Until they realize they aren't going to win, and stop playing with you.

Whoa.
Well.
I do actually use all characters at least a bit. And I used to play as Pikachu. But he just has so few options due to his lack of range, insufficient speed, and so on, you're pretty much reduced to using Smashes, the neutral B and the neutral aerial... Pikachu was simply not well-designed in that respect, so I hope it's fixed adequately.

Yeah, I kind of agree with what you say. I honestly don't think this Pikachu isn't the Melee's Pichu, just because of the goggles. It's just a new and improved Pikachu with bufferings.

Pikachu was disappointing in melee. He rocked in the original smash bros game though.

so was there any new costumes besides red,green,blue?
Firebert

He was number one in the Nintendo 64 tiers, and then went to bottom tier in Melee.

So does anyone know the rest of Pika's taunts?

I much prefer pichu to pika in melee...
so hearing that he is similar to melee pichu is pretty cool :D

So really Pikachu was taken out and Pichu evolved? I'm gonna miss the tail spike the most.

So they took out Pika's blue magic hat?????????

It's not just the goggles and the taunts. It sounds to me that a lot the New Pika's moves are the like Pichu's are in Melee. That's why I said it anyway others might have they're own reasons.

Smash Apprentice
Calm down. It's nothing more than a clever way of explaining what happened to Pichu since Brawl Pikachu plays more like Pichu and has the goggles, it makes sense. But really, it's just a joke...
Dynamism

This is really bugging me. I'm gonna watch every Pika vid I can find cause I keep hearing different things about his Uair spike...peace!
