    Meta Olimar Match Up Discussion!

    I'm not sure why you think he's that overpowered in all aspects. He is def top 10 but I don't find him to be unstoppable and perfect in all regards. He cannot wall people as you say, because his Pikmin health is so low that a single swing from half the cast will kill your pikmin, and anyone with...

    Meta Olimar Match Up Discussion!

    Just dtilt him if he gets close. It can combo based on percent: dtilt > dtilt > usmash > usmash > aerial. Little Mac can be hard to play against if they're aggressive. If you don't have enough time to get to your safe distance he can be a pain. But once you do, as someone else said just space...

    Will Olimar see as little play in Ultimate as he did in sm4sh?

    Olimar is also one of those characters that's a niche pick, regardless of whether or not he's good. Most people just can't stand playing AS him as much as they can't stand playing against him. He will see some usage for sure, because us Oli mains are pretty dedicated :P

    Incineroar Stages

    I'm having the most luck on FD or BF variants. FD gives you space to approach them at your own pace, which means they aren't pressuring you unless you let them. If they do it's with projectiles, which means you can stack your counter. In any situation where you can freely stack your counter...

    Back Body Drop (Alolan Whip Early Press)

    Excellent for people who land on top platform I'm battlefield stages when you're chasing when they are above you. You can cover all tech options on platforms with it.

    Some setups I've seen through my 30 hours of Incineroar. Can we get some love for this fiery boi?

    Dtilt > ftilt can kill : read based. Combos at lower percents similar to fair. Dtilt > fsmash, same thing. Dtilt > uair juggling similar to dthrow. You can ground your Nair into almost anything, same with dair at low percents. Dair > neutral b can do like 40% pretty easily. Another tip: use...

    Olimar general discussion

    Yeah, fox and sheik are the only characters that are giving me a hard time right now. And I'm pretty damn good at those matchups in general. I'm probably just going to stick with DK for those two (maybe Ivy) by themselves. Cargo throw combos are crazy on fast/medium fallers :P

    Olimar general discussion

    I have recently picked up Olimar again for PM after trying him out in Smash 4 a few months ago and watching some old brawl videos. The nostalgia was strong :P To add some combo information I have been using depending on the situation: dtilt > jab x2 > grab dtilt > grab > uthrow > dair > tech...

    [Jan 9, 2015] Tampa Spicy Spot (Tampa, FL)

    How many people are expected? I am visiting from CT and looking for a smash tournament near me, this would be perfect if the attendance is there :D

    Olimar vs Megaman

    How can you guaranteed get purples in this one? I didn't know there was such a thing o_o That will solve like half of the few problems I am running into lol Also, I'm not talking about random megamans. I'm talking about ones that place top 3 in all of the northeast.

    Olimar vs Megaman

    The non-projectile form of leaf shield. Also, I'm not sure about you, but I don't always have purples to just throw and run away and take my time doing what I want. I'm not talking about the average mega man, I'm talking about ones who actually know how to use his tools in ways that most people...

    Olimar vs Megaman

    The problem with camping mega man out is the good ones do not try to camp you out. They try to approach with their leaf shield often, which is very very difficult to stop or do anything against. You can't pivot grab while shield is up, can't smash, can't really do anything except dodge it...

    [Competitive Discussion] Let's learn together

    Use d-tilt to stop his approaches and combo out of it. Also lots of pivot grabs :)

    Can Alph/Olimar handle fast characters?

    Sonic is a very tough matchup. Wait for him to approach in his ball (when it's grounded) and you can d-tilt him out of it. It will clank and put him directly in front of you. He can move here, but if you d-tilt twice it will knock him out and then hit him up! :D

    Olimar vs Megaman

    Pivot grab a lot. Don't bother using much side-b, but try to snipe whites on him. Also watch out for his leaf shield approach, it's really rough to deal with as olimar. Be very patient and wait for him to mess up. You can out-camp him, but again it's really tough. Try to stay mid-range and...
