| abstract | - Unveiled at E3 2006, Pikachu (ピカチュウ, Pikachū) is a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In the E3 2006, Pikachu didn't show its Final Smash like Mario, Kirby, and Link did. Visually, Pikachu has barely changed at all from its Melee design, only being larger and touched up slightly. It has all of its moves from the first two games. It is currently in the B Tier and holds 8th position overall. This makes Pikachu closer to its original Top Tier status in Super Smash Bros, where it was ranked first place, as opposed to its Middle Tier status in Melee, where it is ranked 10th place. It is currently the highest-ranked character in Brawl that has appeared in all three Super Smash Bros. games, and also the highest-ranked in the Pokémon series. Pikachu's fast damage-racking moves, powerful and short framed killing moves, very quick speed, great recovery and edge guarding, two chain grabs, and Brawl's new physics have helped it a lot; Pikachu can no longer be so easily combo'd, its grab range is no longer the shortest (Ganondorf now has the shortest grab range), its Thunder (Pokémon) is not as laggy, and it's gained various new tactics such as Quick Attack Canceling.
