| + | What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo. |

| − | REMEMBER: Nintendo's official stance is that Pichu, like all Pokémon, go by gender-neutral pronouns. Be sure to use "it" instead of "he" or "she". |
||
| − | --> |
||
| − | '''Pichu''' ({{ja|ピチュー}}, ''Pichū'') is a [[Pokémon]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Pichu is the "baby" form of [[Pikachu]], and it is also recognized as being a smaller, lighter, and faster [[clone]] of Pikachu in ''Melee''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Pichu is currently ranked 24th in the [[tier list]], the lowest ranked clone character. This is due to the fact that it has poor range, most people can easily chain throw it despite it being small and being the lightest character in the game (which is another huge flaw), and it takes damage from its own attacks, resulting in having the worst matchup spread in the game (though it does have even matchups against {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, {{SSBM|Bowser}}, and {{SSBM|Kirby}}). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==How to unlock== |
||
| − | *Clear the event "[[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon]]". |
||
| − | *Play 200 [[Vs. Mode]] matches. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Pichu is fought on [[Kanto: Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium]], with the track ''Battle Theme'' playing. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Attributes== |
||
| − | [[Image:Pichu SSBM.png|right|150px]] |
||
| − | The most noticeable thing about Pichu is its tiny frame: Pichu is the lightest and smallest character in ''Melee'', even lighter than [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff]] and [[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)|Mr. Game & Watch]]. While this enables it to evade attacks rather well, it flies farther than anyone else when it is hit. It is also easily comboed despite its light weight, due to the long amount of [[flinch|hitstun]] it suffers. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Being small hurts its range greatly: its physical attacks, while possessing good priority, have extremely poor range. Pichu needs to get very close to do damage, which is a very dangerous place for any character to be. It also has the shortest forward, backward, and tech/ledge roll in the game. Its grab hitbox is the third smallest in the game, another problem. On the upside, its grabs set up many chain throws or combos. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Its electrical attacks help out slightly with range, but each one comes with a catch: Pichu takes damage on using the attack. Simply put, if an electrical hitbox (or that of its non-electric [[Special Move]], Skull Bash) connects with Pichu, it takes "recoil" damage, anywhere from 1-4%. This adds up quickly, as Pichu is lighter than any other character. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This doesn't mean Pichu doesn't have its advantages, though: its KOing power is unusually solid, with three strong smashes and many options to build up damage. Pichu also has the highest item boost in the game, becoming much stronger with any item. Its recovery is very good, it can chaingrab fast fallers with its Up Throw, and it can also tech-chase several characters with its Down Throw. Pichu has two solid projectiles in its [[Neutral Special Move|Neutral]] and [[Down Special Move|Down]] [[Special Move]]s ([[Thunder Jolt]] and [[Thunder (Pokémon)|Thunder]]) and an effective [[SHFFL]]. As expected, Pichu is rather agile, and it has a shorter landing lag than any other character. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the end, Pichu is an inferior version of [[Pikachu (SSBM)|Pikachu]], but it has some qualities that may make it worth a look. It has a better grab game, smaller size, and slightly faster movement. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Differences from {{SSBM|Pikachu}}== |
||
| − | Pichu is drastically worse than Pikachu, and for many reasons. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Pichu takes [[recoil damage]] for all of its electric attacks, its range is among the worst, and some of its attacks hit multiple times, allowing the opponent to SDI out of it. Its pros are not enough to compensate its cons and is among one of the worst characters in ''Melee''. |

||
| − | |||
| − | :'''Pichu''' |
||
| − | :''A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears. Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.'' |
||
| − | :*''Pokémon Gold & Silver'' [10/00] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :'''Pichu''' (''Smash Red'') |
||
| − | :''Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances.'' |
||
| − | :*B: [[Thunder Jolt]] |
||
| − | :*Smash B: [[Skull Bash]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :'''Pichu''' (''Smash Blue'') |
||
| − | :''Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee., and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move.'' |

| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *It is worth noting that while Pichu has a taunt ''Melee'', Pichu can't learn the move Taunt in the Pokémon games. |
||
| − | *When Pichu crouches, it falls asleep. This is clear because its eyes are closed and bubbles come out of its mouth, similar to when Jigglypuff uses [[Rest]], although Pichu will awake instantly when the player presses any other button. |
||
| − | *Other than ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', or by using [[Volt Tackle]], Pichu had never been hurt by using electrical attacks in other games, although they could faint from overuse of their electricity, as seen in the third Pokémon movie. |
||
| − | *Pichu is the only ''Melee'' newcomer not returning to ''Brawl'' to not have any data to be playable in the game (excluding [[Young Link]], who was replaced with [[Toon Link]]). |
||
| − | *In [[All-Star Mode]], Fourside is Pichu and its allies' home stage. This might be a reference to the Pikachu Short Pikachu & Pichu, where Ash's Pikachu meets the Pichu Brothers in a large and unnamed city. |
||
| − | *Pichu ducks lower when holding the [[Super Scope]]. |
||
| − | *Pichu cannot learn [[Skull Bash]] or [[Agility]] in the Pokémon games. |
||
| − | *Pichu along with {{SSBM|Roy}}, {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} are the only characters in ''Melee'' to have an attack that damages themselves. |
||
| − | **[[Kirby]] also can hurt himself when he swallows Pichu and Roy and uses their attacks. |
||
| − | *When Pichu uses the [[Cloaking Device]], all recoil damage is negated while under its effect, but not when under the effect of the [[Starman]]. |
||
| − | *Pichu and Mr. Game & Watch were the only characters to ever be lighter than Jigglypuff. |
||
| − | *Due to Pichu's ability to utilize [[Volt Tackle]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', which the {{SSBM|Pikachu}} in said game could not perform, and {{SSBB|Pikachu}} from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' having the same move, it is theorized that the two games' Pikachu are, in fact, different Pokémon, and that Pichu "grew up" and evolved into the Pikachu seen in ''Brawl''. |

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
