Pikachu is really fun in project plus, but he's also really difficult because in some matchups characters can combo him really easily, and the overall range buff across the cast in comparison to melee makes Pikachu work a little bit harder, but under the hands of really good players, Pikachu can make top eight
Melee Pikachu is the closest thing Melee has to a balanced character with enough spice and clear weaknesses. I would say is the worst High tier in the format and kinda carried by Axe, but not unviable by any means. If I were to rebalance Melee, I would use the Yoshi/Pikachu criteria.
Man I'm only 2 minutes in and the sheer amount of clean and smooth editing is already mind blowing, you really got somethin goin on here Honest Content, good work!
Loved this video. Pikachu is one of those characters, when you see him, it’s not gonna be too annoying to fight against. Compared to the higher tiered characters, Pikachu feels cooler to see in a tournament, because it is so uncommon. Being balanced though makes it at least to where you barely have to apply buffs or nerfs. Good stuff, Honest!
5:01 Sheik is not really even Pikachu's top 2 worst matchups, the chaingrab only goes to like 29% which is still a decent amount but people always act like it goes to 60%+ or something, and Pikachu has a very real punish game on her. Still a hard matchup for sure, but far from a true viability blocker.
At least he never got done dirty like other characters, though i heard that Smash 64 Pikachu is pretty annoying to fight against and in Ultimate there's so little players maining him due to him being "lame".
Amazing video, thanks. You know what'd be great? if they modded in Pichu, Dr. Mario and Young Link in p+, they did an amazing job with Mewtwo and Roy, I'd be great to have the whole MEELE cast on p+ ♥
ehhh thats a bit of stretch. You can argue most of the top tiers are going to have better wavedashes then him. Ice Climbers, Marth, Fox, Falcon just to name a few. Pika's dash dance is okay, but his wave dash is lacking a bit compared to the other top tiers too.
Fun fact: despite Pikachu being a high tier character in Melee, it’s considered its worst placing in the series
Pikachu wasn't considered anywhere near viable, when I started melee 😫
(I thought Axe was only gonna be relevant for a year or so)
pichu? mewtwo?
Every character has a player that's amazing with the character they main.
Hes mid tier in melee like hes around 9-12 out of 26. So kinda in the middle

What is Pika's worst matchup?
melee pika main here :D i love his tail spike hitbox in that game so much xD
Love your vids, thanks for making them
the good Days when Pikachu had a spine ... right ultimate?
And an invisible hand attached to his tail that threw characters wherever was most convenient for them when he uses his upair.
But seriously wtf was Melee Pikachu uair
At least he never got done dirty like other characters, though i heard that Smash 64 Pikachu is pretty annoying to fight against and in Ultimate there's so little players maining him due to him being "lame".
Apparently at one point, they thought Kirby was better than Pikachu, but then realised Pikachu was better.
He really is a rich man's Pichu
Now that's good!
But can he beat Ohio Pichu tho?
(If you don’t know there was this cheater from Ohio that legit buffed his Pichu for a melee tournament)
Pikachu...let puff have her moment please
Love these vids!
I like the editing in this video, I noticed some new stuff you're doing and it looks great
All hail chunky Pikachu
Do diddy Kong next please
Love playing as Pika in every smash game. Pokemon Trainer video next?

Getting back into melee Picking up pikachu as one of my mains cuz they’re as they say poormans Fox so perf timing!
The title feels like waking into a room mid heated conversation
Amazing video, thanks. You know what'd be great? if they modded in Pichu, Dr. Mario and Young Link in p+, they did an amazing job with Mewtwo and Roy, I'd be great to have the whole MEELE cast on p+ ♥
I believe Dr. Mario is combined with Mario here.

8:40 song?
Faron Woods - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Mu twin's 4th Main.
His main is Ness 2nd Marth 3rd Sheik 5th Peach.
2:36 Pikachu literally has one of the best dash dances in the game it's one of the best parts about him

Of course Pikachu is strong, he is the the literal *mascot* of the Pokemon brand
What about Fox he was top tier in every game but really good video
He already did a video on Fox
@@666blaziken I know that but pikachu isn’t the only one that’s been top tier in every game
@@jalilfrancois7700 he said few not only
Fox isn’t a top tier in brawl, since he has three awful mus, which are icies, sheik, and Pikachu
@@shayboual1892 oh my bad
