Pikachu is a pretty rare character for high tier that's ranked 9 on the B tier and one who can use a chain grab with his d-throw and f-throw, follow by a few aerial combos.
Matchup = 30-70
Ratio = -3
Pointers:
Pikachu is a small character, and small characters give the tall, heavy weight, and projectile-less characters like CF a really hard time. Now let me talk about the problems I've been having with Pikachu users: the main one is that I don't know which are the safest moves to use on a pikachu so you wont get chain grabbed at 10-30% and then get combo'd by his Uair>Nair.
In addition, is it ok to attack Pikachu from the air by using Bairs only or is there a better way? Because most of the time my moves never hit and I get kinda impatient and try to play it on the ground instead. I make sure to punish his shocks with my jabs and that forces him to approach me and use something like Fair or Nair, I shield them but I need to know a good comeback that will hit right after hes done.
Furthermore, is it always ok to do my jab>grab combos on pika? 40% of the time they don't work because his jabs or d-tilt interfere.
Finally, why is Delfino the best counter pick? I mean, in some parts of the stage its hard to approach him in the air and on the ground like when you get on the roof top, at the Shine Sprite tower and on the pillars.
Also, if you see any spelling errors and whatnot on this thread, please let me know so that I can edit this.

Pointers:
- Don't get grabbed from 10-30%
- If you get grabbed, DI the Usmash/Nair and you will always survive
- Jab cancels Pika's spam shocks
- SDI up and away out of Pika's dsmash and SDI other multi-hit attacks
- Watch out for Thunder and QAC
- Wall with Uair and Bair
- CP:
- Delfino
