I've always wondered is there a way to always get the up throw thunder follow-up if you read the DI correctly....?
...There is a way....
Now you may be thinking: What the hell is this man talking about?
Let me explain: I'm not talking about just reading the DI after an up throw and hope thunder hits Pikachu's body, what I'm talking about is that you can actually guarantee the thunder hitting Pikachu. You can perform this by dashing, RARing (this cancels Pikachu's momentum) and immediately thunder (I've found it works best if you Thunder diagonally towards the direction Pikachu's facing).
This technique is HUGE because you can apply it for hard reads as well.
Edit: This technnique is different from the standard double jump technique because you do this with your first jump.
Edit 2: Here's a video of how the combo should look like:
