i think it'd be more popular if he only got self damage after using some kind of charge move... if you've seen lucas in project M, that might be a good example. with pichu, electric moves should deal self damage in return for being more powerful, but i think if you could also use default versions of the moves that don't self damage the moveset would be better able to match up to the level of play from other characters.. maybe include a lot of agility based moves that help him get around quickly with light attacks, similar to how metaknight plays in vBrawl

I either want to have pichu only take damage when he hits an enemy or when he doesnt, I havent decided yet.

Im going to improve the up smash, and Ill change the up tilt to a front flip.

Look for the moveset write out in the OP

I had some random ideas for a Pichu a while ago, feel free to use any, haha.

"No electric A attacks!

F-Smash - Frustration - Pichu launches itself forward, dealing 10(14)%, damage increases by 2% for every 25% until 100%

Neutral-B - Thunder Wave - A weak jolt of electricity that paralyzes the target and deals 3(5)% damage and 2% recoil.
Side-B - Wild Charge - Pichu shrouds itself with electricity and charges forward, deals 17(21)% damage and 4% recoil.
Up-B -
Down-B - Nasty Plot - Increases Pichu's Special/Smash damage for a short time."

The bracketed numbers are while Nasty Plot is active.


Good luck on this, though. Pichu is awesome.

maybe make it charge, the electric attack, instead of nasty plot.. while pichu can learn both, players may be better able to recognize it as a move to power up the next "special attack" (lol, bad joke, get it?) but be a little heavier until then (the special defense boost) ...i always thought pichu or pikachu should have had an electric move that could be charged, but since there aren't very many actual attacks in the game that need to charge, not like solar beam for instance, i sometimes thought about moveset ideas where they used the move "charge" to power up the next attack, whatever it was... technically, pichu learns nasty plot on its own, but it can egg the move charge, so it's not inaccurate...

personally, i don't think there are many available idea for pichu that would make him better than pikachu though :P and nasty plot would probably work better, but even then, he's just a first evolve, and not necessarily supposed to be a really hardcore fighter... as a matter of fact, you'd probably have an easier time making a moveset for raichu that's close to pikachu than a pichu that is close in balance to pikachu :P ...i'm interseted though to see how well this turns out though, and what ideas you may have :D sorry i can't offer very many more ideas, but i'll offer some morale support ^^ good luck dood

I was thinking about having Charge and Discharge as a down special to stun opponents

Side B- Volt tackle/Wild Charge basically charizards new side special in SSBWU

animations need work

i love pichu so i hope this goes well

maybe only have the electric attacks damage him if they miss

What about this:

Neutral B- Charge/Discharge
Increases the damage and knockback of all Special Attacks. The longer the move is charged the longer charge is in effect. If charged for a long enough time, you can tap the button again to use discharge, expelling the charged electricity.

Side Special Air- Iron Tail
Flips Forward and slam the opponent downward. Slightly moves diagonally upward while using the move.

Side Special Ground- Volt Tackle
Basically Pikachu's Side Special but has electric properties and Pichu suffers recoil from using it. Note this should probably have an animation of Pichu running instead of whatever Pikachu does when he uses his Side Special.

Down Special- Thunder Wave
Similar to DK's Down Special, but again has electric properties and stuns.

Down Special Air(Optional)- Thunder Shock
Pichu slightly bounces upward and leaves a Jolt of electricity in the air similar to what Pichu's Air Neutral Special in the PM3.5 Pichu in the vault.

Up Special Option 1- Volt Switch
Is a teleport move similar to Sheik's Up Special. Pichu moves in the designated and if he hits an opponent, the opponent appears where Pichu first used the move.

Up Special Option 2- Magnetic Rise
Pichu floats in the designated direction for a short period of time does not fall helplessly after use. This Move has some interesting effects, when the move is first used(only in the first few frames) Pichu sucks in the opponents(like a vacuum) and damages the foe(like Mewtwo's Nair,hard to get out of), then in the last frames releases the magnetic field and shot the opponents the direction there in(ex: if you where sucked in under Pichu, you would be shoot downwards. If you where sucked in over top of Pichu, you'd be shot upwards)

Grab- Magnetic Rise
can be used as a tether recovery.

Pummel- Nuzzel

Down Throw- Sweet Kiss
Kisses the opponent then slams them down, causes dizziness

Final Smash- Pichu Party
Random Pokémon run across the stage damaging opponents.

why doesn't this site have like buttons?
