Was messing around to see what would make his normal attacks with recoil damage be useful in some situations

FSmash is most likely his strongest smash, and DSmash is slightly weaker but "safer" due to no recoil damage, so that one is a bit obvious

FAir: it seems to have momentum-based knockback except on the last hit as i have noticed, if you're precise enough you can even meteor smash the opponent with it (so technically pichu has 4 different meteor smashes), and while the final hit has relatively weak knockback, it's at a semi-spike angle, which allows it to be followed by other moves (a discharge FSmash would likely KO too)
If done correctly, they won't even move away from Pichu and instead stay close when you cancel FAir by touching the ground
so i guess his FAir is a bit of a confirm move (of course not guaranteed) when it lands


DAir: The most obvious part about it is the meteor smash, but what about when landing on the ground?
The knockback is much weaker, but it seems to stun for long enough that you can follow up with an aerial attack, the way it throws the opponent without causing tumbling (until a certain point of course) probably makes it tougher to DI


FThrow: It... does slightly more damage than down and up-throw i guess... the knockback angle is somewhere between the both, and it doesn't have a lot of growth either, the follow-ups are similar to Up and Down throws, so i don't see much use in his forward throw compared to up/down throw

Have you tried DI Up or down though, and also consider tech rolls and what pichu can do then.

(Also the stuff on Jiggs was not even close to being true)

Hmm, well, my keyboard can only do so much with controlling 2 characters at the same time without it going unresponsive due to too many inputs at the same time, but i'll try some more
and on the part with jiggs i meant to say it was much tougher to land FAir without causing her to go flying off, but i guess you have a point


If it doesn't cause tumbling, they may have enough time to put up the shield during FSmash's startup (but not DSmash)




So it seems that Pichu's discharged FSmash stays out for about as long as a tech/tech-roll (a frame perfect tech with Mario managed to dodge it), may or may not out-range a tech-roll going away, and will miss if they manage to roll behind Pichu, so this one depends more on spacing, and just maybe frame data


In some cases, FSmash comes out before they touch the ground, unsure if they can jump away though
Also, DSmash comes out much faster than FSmash does, which may help to prevent the opponent from teching or jumping away, though it doesn't reach as far as discharge FSmash, or high enough to hit above Pichu if they DI upwards, so i suppose this also depends quite a bit on DI reading

Still no Pichu smiley. I think they literally forget this forum exists.

Calm down buddy, i'm confused too but we just gotta wait the pichu emoji (and waluigi of course).

Yo, Pichu's discharge up B got buffed!

Yo, did Pichu receive his Ultimate voice clips?

Not that I'm complaining (it's better than melee voice),
But damn, already?

never underestimate what i say

and he still doesn't have an official :pichu: smily.

Why do you care? Why do ANY of you CARE? Are you forgetting the whole reason they went to Namek in the first place? Now we have TWO SETS of Dragon Balls.

can you stop derailing conversations with TFS quotes




also I didn't get to watch Pichu on stream, does anybody present remember which day he was shown at?

Day 0 (first stream) at 1h 35m 36s; 2h 36m 54s (and the following match); 3h 48m 15s; 4h 10m 30s
Day 1 (first stream) at 6h 42m 50s; 7h 43m 35s (and the following match);
Day 2 (first stream) at 7h 04m 50s (and the following match)
Day 3 at 1h 30m 14s

thank you!

If you guys didn't realized, when pichu activates its discharge state (50%) it uses the ice climbers voice, I heard perfectly at the stream (that's a fun fact BTW).
