![]() ![]() While Melee Fox mains complain about losing a matchup to Marth on a single counterpick, the primary Pika protagonist is ESAM, a man never shy about extolling the virtues of their chosen main. Then you get onto the fact that the most successful Pikachu main is also one of the few elite players to talk up their character, rather than down. That’s on top of the fact Pika basically has zero-to-death combos on a decent number of other characters thanks to sequences like lightning loops and the infamous back-air. Strengths include a near-broken recovery, great movement, the ability to escape disadvantage states against most characters, and potentially the best edgeguarding in the game. On paper, there is really no arguing that Pikachu is not a high tier character in Ultimate, with many believing the character to be the best in the game. Why is Pikachu so good in Smash Ultimate? We are of course talking about Pikachu, a character that has been a problem on and off since Smash 64, and one that occupies an incredibly odd place in the Ultimate pantheon, of being both overpowered, and underrepresented in terms of tournament wins. There is one top tier that has remained roughly untouched through multiple patches, though, an electric rat with relatively little in the way of tournament success. Recent releases like Pyra/Mythra and Byleth have seen some impressive tournament results, but only when piloted by truly god-tier players like MKLeo or Spargo, while DLC before them such as Joker and the now-nerfed Min-Min look like very strong characters, despite their kits being toned down a touch.
