Pikachu (Super Smash Flash)

Pikachu is the only starter character of the Pokémon franchise in SSF. Most of his attacks come from the Super Smash Bros. series.

Pikachu is ranked 29th on the tier list, in the bottom tier. Pikachu has extremely poor range, and a poor horizontal air speed, but a decent ground speed. Thunder is a lacklustre move that won't come out if Pikachu is hit, and his neutral and up attacks don't kill until late on. Additionally, Pikachu has only got four usable moves, as his Dair and Down A are the same. Due to Pikachu's poor range, this gives him awful matchups across the board against most characters. Despite this, he possesses better finishers than Blade and better speed, as well as Thunder being a good finisher. However, Pikachu's cons massively overshadow his pros, which is why he's ranked near the bottom.
