The 2 frame punish is a very great skill to master in smash 4. Characters like Fox and Mario For example can use up tilt and dash attack respectively to abuse this technique. However, does Pikachu have any ways to use the 2-frame punish consistently? Use this thread to discuss any possible techniques or ways to use the 2-frame with Pikachu.

If you don't know what the 2-frame punish is, here's a video explaining it.

He does. If you ledge cancel the first angle of your quick attack on the ledge where your opponent is trying to recover, you can 2 frame punish him with a nair. Pretty effective, but quite risky: if you miss the cancel, you're pretty much dead.
Also, when your opponent is trying to recover from under the ledge, jump then fast fall dair. You can catch quite a lot of recovery.

Even recoveries with active hitboxes are vulnerable: I've managed to land these against chars like Ike, etc...

EDIT:
Here's a video with the ledge cancel nair shown: https://youtu.be/Nmzl7AuyF0Y?t=5m3s

Also, You can catch recoveries with Thunder, but I'm not sure it works on every char.
