Spoiler: Pichu

• Pichu has been vastly reworked for Brawl Minus 5.0! Gone is the tap/held system of old and a new system of self damage charging up a more powerful Discharge to really up the Risk/Reward game! As one of the faces of Brawl Minus, we put extra time into making sure Pichu works just right, and this time he’ll be a shocker for sure!
• Normals
  • Pichu's normals now more closely match the versions of his moves that appear in official smash titles. Pichu's fair and bair are now multihits that function as solid kill moves, especially offstage. Dair is an incredibly strong meteor that has a strong sideways sending sourspot. Up air, down throw, down tilt, and up tilt are all fantastic combo starters and extenders. Pichu's forward smash will send even the heaviest of characters to the blast zone in a flash. These strong moves don't come without a cost, however. Also much like his mainline inclusions, Pichu's electric hitboxes all inflict self-damage again…but there is an upside to all this!
• Specials
  • Neutral Special
    • Is now primarily Nuzzle
    • But when Pichu deals 40 self damage, Pichu will flash, indicating that he’s got a more powerful Discharge ready to unleash on his foes! This is now Pichu’s strongest move, and one of Minus’ most powerful moves! Unleash it at the right moment for devastating results!
  • Side Special
    • Is now Electro Ball
      • Instead of the trapping projectile it was in previous iteration, Electro Ball will now move across the screen, still stunning the foes it hits.
  • Agility

Or drag them down to their doom with a Minus exclusive Ridleycide!
