Where the future Pichu mains at?

[Keeshu]

Now that the base roster has been released, I figured that I come back here and Pichu still has a very good chance at being my main in Smash Ultimate. Rivaling 5 other characters, being Meta Knight (closest thing to a loyalty main), Lucario, Cloud, Ridley, Wolf. I just find it hilarious that all the most likely characters that I want to play with all have such super serious faces in their renders in like the top 20 characters that I want to play. Then there's friggin Pichu and Pichu is so out of place it amuses me so much.

I can't wait to play with Pichu and Ridley in Squad Strike battles. I just have one big fear, I don't think I saw Squad Strike as an option in the online modes when playing random people. At least we'll probably be able to do it against friends though, but it'll effect who I practice with quite a bit.

So, I went on reddit the other night, and found that apparently, there was a demo somewhere in spain that had all the fighters in the base game. Here is what they found.

-Back Air now has thunder properties

-Up Air still a combo tool

-Neutral air is same as Melee

Self Damage values

• Neutral B 0.4%
• Forward Tilt 0.7%
• Thunder 3.0%
• Side B 1.5%
• Down Smash 0.8%
• Forward Smash 1.5%
• Up B 2.0% total
• Other eectric aerials/smashes 1.0%

-"Pichu's Final Smash is the same as Pikachu's, except he hurts himself during it"

-Down Air spikes

Not maining but will likely play a bit for meme value.

Yeah everyone talking about dropping their high/top tier main for Pichu, because of Pichu. He just goes full sicko mode on everyone.
