Hi SoopahGamer here, and guess what, I made a YouTube channel for Manga4Geeks, it's going to be mostly on news and game reviews and we could have some footage of us going to Comic Con or Hyper Japan in London as well, so check it out. This is my intro video, so check it.
This week's character that is going to be on the spotlight is none other than the most famous Pokemon of all time, he's yellow and is known for traveling with Ash in the Pokemon anime, his main words are Pika Pika, Yes if you haven't guessed it, it is none other than Pikachu!!!
Pikachu is a light character in the game and has been high ranked since the original Super Smash Bros on N64. He is very fast and has some really powerful attacks and grabs. he has a lot of safe approaches as well, which assist him in getting close into the opponent and then attacking them.

Pros and Cons of Using Pikachu.
P. Has a lot of powerful moves and smashes.
P. Also good at dealing a lot of damage to your opponent.
P. Fast as well, so it's advised you use mind games against your opponent.
P. The electric has the ability to stun for a small time, so this could help you to get close to your opponent.
P. Grabs are really good, all of them are easy to combo from and get easy kills.
P. The Thunder cloud in the move thunder now has a meteor effect and that can help get some kills as well.
P. Keep him in the air, he has a lot of combos in his aerials
P. He's so adorable as well!!
P. Up+ Special (quick attack) can be used to give out damage and go to a safe place quickly.
C. Light, so can be easy to kill
C. Doesn't have a jab combo and his jab is easy to get out of.
C. Skull bash can be predictable and can be easily intercepted by anything even though it's powerful.
C. His Recovery even though it's goes really high, it is still very hard to aim with because one mistake, and that's it.
What you want to do early in the match.
- Firstly get a up throw and then use Thunder, this combo gets around 20%-25% from the get go.
- Also approach with Thunder Jolt, This will only stun your opponent for a short while, so it gives you a small window of time to get in and deal some damage or get a grab.
- Use his front grab as well cause this can do some damage as well and can give around 5% as well.
- His Up tilt can help to damage opponents as well a bit.
In the middle of the match. (damage)
- Use the power of Thunder and use his Quick attack to deal damage
- Use his down smash as well, as this deals a lot of damage as well
- Use your aerials as well as they will help to give out some damage and they do give some knock-back as well so they will be a safe distance away as well so you are unable to get punished.
- Use Quick Attack, even though it does small percentages, you can quickly hit them and then retreat, avoiding punishment.
When you want to get the kill
- Dash Attack can kill in certain percentages
- You can combo with Up-grab to Thunder, if done correctly, it will spike with the cloud and will go directly to you and that will cause some serious knock-back and will kill in certain cases as well.
- Up- Smash can kill.
- Side Smashes can kill.
- Back Throw can kill as well

| Some of Pikachu's Costumes |
Overall Pikachu is a great character, with lots of ways to dish out the pain and also ways to kill as well. However the thing about Pikachu is that he can be taken out by heavy characters like Bowser and Gannondorf because they don't suffer a lot of knock-back and can deal a lot of damage so be careful against those opponents.
Pikachu has a small learning curve and it is easy to learn, he is my secondary now (I wanted a Pokemon representative on my team). Anyway good luck with the electric rodent.
Till Next time!
