Pikachu's Character Matchups & Strategies
Welcome to the central thread for Pikachu's matchup strategies! Directly below you will find a chart listing all of Pika's MU ratios vs. the rest of the cast, and below that is a list of write-ups with more detailed information. Keep in mind that these numbers and summaries are subject to change as the metagame continues to develop.
If you would like to see a particular character discussed, feel free to make a suggestion. We are currently in the process of re-discussing all of our matchups.
- How to read the chart -
The first number represents Pikachu; the second number represents the opponent's character. 50:50 is an even matchup. Higher numbers show an advantage, and, naturally, lower numbers show a disadvantage.
These are not percentages. 40:60 does not mean you will win 40% of the time. It simply means that Pikachu has a definite disadvantage, and you will have to outplay your opponent to win.
Best Matchups: Captain Falcon, Fox, Ganondorf, Sheik
Worst Matchups: Marth, G&W, Diddy, Olimar
Specific Character Threads:
Currently Discussing: Bowser - Donkey Kong - Falco - Kirby - Meta Knight - Zero Suit Samus
Diddy Kong - Ice Climbers - Ike - King Dedede - Lucario - Luigi - Marth - Mario - Mr. Game & Watch - Olimar - Peach - Toon Link - Wario
[collapse=Upcoming Discussion Queue]
Going forward, we'll be discussing two characters every two weeks (Zelda/Sheik will be bundled as "one" character, despite having two separate threads for this purpose, so one two-week block will have "three" characters). If this pace turns out to be to aggressive, then I'll scale it back. If it's too glacial, I'll intensify it.
The order presented below is not set in stone, but is roughly ordered by my preference. It can be modified by votes from other pikas, or if another character board starts discussing us before we get to them, then it'll get pushed back (by at least a month from the start of their discussion).
