Pichu's Counter Picks

Neutral air is really good, it attacks on all sides, doesn’t damage Pichu, and can be very useful in strings and combos, which are a big part of Pichus play style.

Pichu is a Glass Cannon. You damage yourself and you're the lightest character in the cast. The key is to be aggressive! Utilise Pichu's speed and aerial game to deliver high damage strings of moves.

Don't be afraid to go off-stage, Pichu's recovery is very good and will allow for easy edge-guards.

Pichu's forward tilt is a pain in the ****. It can trip, 2 frame and has electric proprieties which adds more shieldstun.

pichu make me happy pichu make enemy sad

Pichu has fast defensive options and great mobility and punish game; but it's the lightest character in the game and the recoil damage does Pichu NO FAVORS. Fight aggressive.

Pichu has some of the best combo game in all of smash! Lots of things can come out of a simple down tilt or grab, so make sure you make it count. Pichu also has incredibly good jab lock combos/setups!

WE PLAY PICHU BECAUSE WE LOVE PICHU, THAT'S WHY!!!!!!

Playing Pichu aggressive is the best option due to his light weight and his mobility. Nair into grab works for a combo. If you need a combo tutorial watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_r9_FveHzU

Use F-air as an approach tool, combo tool, and edgegaurd tool. It combos out of U-air, D-throw, and F-air, while providing good damage for its hit box. Pichu’s recovery is fantastic so dragdown F-air.

After using a side-B, you can still recover with an up-B if one hasn't already been used.

Don't spam b attacks spam a attacks.

Pichu's attacks generally do higher damage to the opponent than Pikachu's equivalents.

Down throw into backair loop is broken. Use it!!

U air Thunder is cool it could be done at zero, if u get the fast fall u air off stage correctly u can thunder and it’ll kill instantly, you gotta time it though or it’ll be only you losing a stock

When fighting heavy characters try to combo them to death. Pichu has very good combos so you should be able to make it hard for them to do anything

Try to combo into Thunder. A few good combos are down throw, up air, thunder and down tilt, up tilt, thunder.

He plays well on stages where he can keep enemies confined to one area and I don’t know why but I love down smash but pressing buttons is usually a good idea when playing pichu

How about you just grab, up throw, and then down b. When your enemies fly down that's when you combo or kill

:)

Use side Smash.It is so effective and a bunch of thunder attacks are too.

Idk why but doing a crouching A plus a neutral air is a good way of racking damage plus smacking away high percent foes.

back is by far pichu's best ledge garding tool

Forward smash is great for 2-framing for sum reason

Using the new short-hop+aerial input, you can turn most of Pichu's body into a hitbox which can make approaching much safer.

Learn to dash attack cancel grab. Learn to setup an approach with B-special. pichu is the new combo machine and has lots of early kill options.

Play defensefly when at high prevents use Thunder Jolt to annoy your opponent and once they come close try to grab, back throw, then start to edge-guard.

One combo: Forward Smash/Forward Tilt to Downwards Aerial. Its amazing at gimping slow fighters or ones with bad recoveries. It is very effective against people who aren't the best of the game as well

Out off shield break shulk twice and spam b neutral is good pichu is strong VS shulk anyway

Why are you even playing this little piece of **** when you could be playing joker and getting free wins

Pika is better Just main Pikachu, okay

go back to melee and never return bye bye rat
