Ever since the very first Super Smash Bros. game for the Nintendo 64, Pikachu’s Thunder move has been one of the strongest in the game. If you can time it just right, you can often K/O your enemies with even minimal damage at the time. Now, it appears the move is getting even stronger, but like with most moves in this game, there is some strategy to how you use it.
Pic of the day. Pikachu’s Thunder now starts off with a thundercloud that deals a Meteor Smash! From left to right, you can see this combo starting with Pikachu throwing the opponent upward, Meteor Smashing with the lightning strike, and then directly attacking. Foes can dodge, of course, so the attack won’t hit consistently, but when it does, it sure feels good!
Adding even more depth to this move will certainly make it a go to attack for Pikachu users when the game releases later this year for sure.
