So are we in agreement that Pikachu is kind of disappointing here? Bit if an underperformance for a character that some people were calling Top 10ish.

I think my theory of Yoshi rSFFing him was correct but the power differential is too high

Definitely possible. Remember how people initially thought Yoshi would be really strong because he won those "favorite Mario character" polls? Maybe that theory wasn't totally wrong, and Yoshi really is a rSFF threat.

Im not that worried about Pikachu. This is a Nintendo match and Pikachu has always been Weird.

And Yoshi hasn't? Pre-fourways, he beat Luigi one year and lost to Bowser another year, but when Bowser and Luigi ran into each other in fourways Luigi came out on top. None of those three would seem to have had much reason to boost in power independently of the other two during the time frame covered by those three matches... though if anything, Yoshi would have the least reason to boost. I feel like Yoshi > Luigi is the flukiest of those three results.

Though if you take the 2010 X-Stats at face value, Pikachu is actually impressing here! Not that I trust either character's raw 2010 value...
