Pikachu

Quick Attack

Thunder

Extreme Quick Attack

Named after Lucario's ExtremeSpeed, because it can now be used twice in a row without landing if you use it from the ground first. Just like it's namesake!

Pikachu can use its Double Jump anytime in-between or after the two possible instances of Extreme Quick Attack, so its aerial combo game gets a big boost.

I shortened the endlag of Quick Attack so that moves other than regular Attacks (which Pikachu can Cancel into instantly) can be used more quickly afterward.

Pikachu no longer gets stuck in Special Fall after Quick Attack, now that it's Extreme. Special Fall is Cancelable into anything!

Charged Thunder

I wanted to give Pikachu a special taunt, and a powerful move like Captain Falcon's Instant Falcon Punch. So now, Up Taunt is Charge!

I slowed down the taunt to about the same length as Falcon's charge. There's no option to do the old regular-speed version, because Pikachu would never NOT want a Charge.

I'm not 100% certain that Charge needs any armor, but I went ahead and added 6% damage-based armor from the moment you hear "Pikaaa" to the moment the Charge is completed, when Pikachu says "Pi". I did this so that Pikachu can still Charge in spite of fast, weak projectiles (like Falco's regular lasers), and because "Charge" also raises Special Defense in the Pokemon games, so it makes sense canonically.

Once Charged, the next time one of Pikachu's Thunder bolts connect with its body, it will unleash an extra-deadly Thunder, with new graphics, sound effects, 1.5x damage, and 2x hitlag!

Pikachu will flash light blue to signify it is Charged, and this status will not be lost until Charged Thunder is successfully unleashed.

All done!

Disclaimer : I made these tweaks for fun, and because I wasn't quite satisfied with default 4.0BC Pikachu. I'm sharing them here in the Custom Mods section so others can try them out if they would like. I am not trying to push my changes onto anyone, or suggesting these tweaks should be made into Official changes. Please try to keep any criticism constructive and polite. Comparison of Custom Mods to Official Brawl Minus is inevitable, but I ask that you not bash one or the other too much. Thank you.
