{{SSB|Pikachu}} uses {{sbw|Quick Attack}} as its up special move. Pikachu dashes quickly, and can do so in two different directions, provided the angle difference is large enough. In [[Super Smash Bros.]], this move did no damage, though this was changed in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and each following title.
