List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee: Difference between revisions

Pichu, after being absent as a playable character in every ''Super Smash Bros.'' game since ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', returns as an unlockable playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Like all other fighters in the game, it has a [[Final Smash]]. Pichu's Final Smash, Volt Tackle, functions similarly to Pikachu's identically named move, although Pichu's version does recoil damage to itself, but it is also stronger. Pichu gains a new on-screen appearance and two new taunts, and Pichu can speak during some animations.

Compared to its appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Pichu is faster, its aerial attacks have less landing lag, its short hop timing is reduced, it is heavier, its moveset has attacks that knock opponents back farther, many of its attacks deal more damage to opponents, and it does less damage to itself with electrical attacks (said attacks now cause around 0.4% damage each as opposed to 1–6%). Some of Pichu's attacks, however, are weakened.
