The new style for Pikachu's Thunder raises some questions:
1. Can Pikachu be hurt while it throws someone up?
a. If so, will the thunder attack stop
b. Or will it be like Ike's special move: aether(?) and Dedede's special move Up + B where he takes damage but the attack continues until it is over?

2. If Pikachu isn't able to throw anyone up, will the thunder cloud still work? Similar to how Cpt. Falcon's special move: Up + B doesn't work if it doesn't connect in Melee and perhaps Brawl

3. When Pikachu throws a foe up, can the foe be knocked away from the thunder coming down (a bomb dropping down on foe from the sky before the thunder cloud strikes

4. Will Pikachu remain invincible a few frames after the thunder attack ends? If I remember correctly, in Brawl he does stays invincible and the game shows this through the animation of him being charged with electricity (and twirling?) a few frames after thunder ends.

Hopefully Sakurai goes over this. Personally I hope 1 B happens and Pikachu's thunder cloud still appears if he doesn't throw anyone up


Pretty sure thunder is going to control the same way as it has in Brawl. You press down b and it summons a cloud the lightning strikes directly below. Now, it has more of a meteor strike effect but the cloud appears to be a bit lower. So it won't throw people up but down. Sakurai is discussing a pretty good combo that's now better because of the stronger meteor strike effect.
