Pikachu

This rat. This. Freaking. Rat. The bane of many players' existences, even if Pikachu isn't frontrunning the meta. Everyone loves to hate him, but we like him enough, so here's an anime-faithful rework of every single Special as well as making him a heccin' chonker.

Stats

Normals

Jab

While it looks the same, the move has been overhauled:

Specials

Pikachu now generates Electro Ball using its tail. It then performs a tail swipe to launch the ball forwards.
The Tail Swipe itself has a hitbox that weakly pushes the opponent away.

Tail Hitbox

Electro Ball

Electro Ball starts off travelling slowly, but it will pick up speed on frame 10.
Electro Ball does not have a hitbox until frame 6.
On hit, Electro Ball lightly stuns the opponent in place.
Electro Ball also gains power the faster it travels.

Side Special - Quick Attack

Quick Attack has been moved to Side Special.
The first Quick Attack can only be angled 20 degrees up and down, but can go in any direction afterwards.

Up Special - Thunder

Pikachu now jumps up and fires Thunder straight down below him.
Pikachu has two body hitboxes that attempt to send the opponent below Pikachu to set up into the thunderbolts.

Body Hitbox

Thunderbolts

The thunderbolts will begin to spawn on frame 34.

Transitions into normal Fall after use.
FAF: 54 Can grab ledge before frame 18 and after frame 54.
