Chrom vs Pikachu

When facing Pikachu as Chrom, focus on utilizing your range and speed to keep the pressure on while avoiding Pikachu's quick attacks. Use your aerials, particularly forward aerial, to challenge Pikachu's recovery and edge-guard effectively, as Chrom can capitalize on Pikachu's relatively weaker off-stage game. Be cautious of Pikachu's agility; try to bait out Thunder Jolt and punish with a well-timed Dancing Blade or Shield Breaker when she overcommits. Positioning is key, so maintain stage control and look for opportunities to land your powerful smash attacks when Pikachu is at higher percentages, as her lighter weight makes her susceptible to early knockouts.
