Losers Finals at BEAST 6 made me realize

I was watching this match really carefully, like every other top Pika fight, just to study, and I can't help but notice Pikachu matches just seem stale.

It might just be that I main Pika but seriously, it seems like whenever people prepare for tournaments, they list off top tiers they should know the MU for, so Pika is always obvious to look out for.

With ESAM's inconsistency lately (and lack of other top Pika mains besides NAKAT who really mains Ness), and the influx of new characters and good players popping up, Pikachu's place on the tier list seems threatened and is dropping slowly.

Thoughts? I just feel like Pikachu needs something new and fresh.
