Smash Lord
A lot of Pikachu seem to believe that buffs are needed-that is most certainly not the case. Pikachu can combo/pressure/extend/convert extremely well, and truly needs no buffs
Pikachu mostly wish for buffs so that Pikachu can KO better...but Pikachu can actually KO fairly well; Pikachu just has difficultly ~landing the KO hit~, which is an intentional design-it is an intentional weak point that balances Pikachu
If Pikachu had guaranteed comboes into his KO attacks he'd be considered cheap/broken (like Luigi)
F.Smash's sweetspot actually hits REALLY hard, and KOs even heavies quite efficiently-it's just difficult to land, which again is an intentional design to balance Pikachu
U.Smash KOs extremely well even on heavies, and is lightning fast as a smash attack-it's my favorite smash honestly, just because of it's speed and power
U.Tilt/U.Throw/D.Throw > Thunder works if you can react to the opponent's DI quickly enough-if it were guaranteed it'd be cheap-so it NOT being guaranteed is what keeps it from being given the label of "cheap," and actually it not being guaranteed makes it all the more exciting to the crowds that see it
N.Air actually can KO at higher percents off stage, and it can also gimp fairly well and stage spike. It has less power than it did in Brawl, but this just makes is extremely good at setups and pressure since the opponent isn't going to be knocked so far away
So, yeah, please think before assuming Pikachu needs buffs because I assure you, he's quite powerful as he is
