[Tomber]

Sup guys. I don't come here often, but I thought I would post this.

I'm not a Pichu main myself, so if any of you have ideas for how to improve this then feel free to tell.

EDIT: And now I see you have a Pichu video thread. Oh well.

Other the not to use thunder when you fight the yoshi's, stick with U-air. It's super reliable for those above you.

U-air is more safe, but slower. The reason why I use thunder is because I want to kill 1 Yoshi of the second wave as fast as possible, because this makes the last Yoshi, which pretty much is the only one that matters, spawn faster. Using thunder saves around 1 second compered to a run where I kill them all using u-air.

lol thunder isn't going to kill **** + it leave you super vulnerable.
I'd just upsmash of fsmash to be honest... probably fsmash because the computers will DI it bad and die super quick.

EDIT: just realized you said "above you"... I'd just uair or something then drop down and upsmash...

 

[Tomber]

Up-smash doesn't OHKO I think. F-smash is way too slow and you'll most likely be killed by one of the Yoshis. Thunder by far the fastest killing move in this situation unless you u-air off-scream on the same frame as the Yoshi spawns. Maybe I can save some time by adding another thunder, but I'll probably be KOed if I try.

Fsmash isn't that punishable if you don't miss....
I think Dsmash near the ledge would work well too.

I mean you didn't really use thunder too much, so it isn't really that big of a problem imo. just get hit less

 

[KingClubber]

Just stick to u-air, it the best option, it has good knockback, pretty quick, has good spacing, and the hit box is pretty disjointed with good reach.

Uair is pretty sexy. It'd be pretty cool if pichu had pika's uair spike though.
