    Star ko with utilt for the win? (/sarcasm)

    Metaknight Is Impossible

    True nailed it on the head with his last post. If MK keeps using dash attacks, just punish every single one of them with a shield grab until he learns to do something different. And... as True said already spacing with f/d/usmashes will win you matches against a MK who just charges in...

    Grabbing Techniques

    The combo works well against people who DI down (who knows why), but even at low percents if they DI up and away the fair generally misses from my experience. I tend to pursue dthrows from low percents with a uair, just because I assume they're going to DI up and away.

    Fighting Olimar and those annoying Pikmin

    The evolution of the pikmin actually don't add any noticeable change to the pikmin (leaf->bud->flower). Try to stay close to Olimar and apply constant pressure with high priority attacks. As Olimar it's difficult to maintain a pikmin spam if your opponent is close to you, because any...

    Olimar observations

    Its pretty much exactly 20 seconds per growth. In and you end at 40.3 seconds.

    Olimar observations

    I'm positive you won't latch on. I've hit people off the edge with Up B and had the chain be less than a millimeter away from the ledge and still not latch on.

    Olimar observations

    Tested that specifically today, and you really can't latch onto the edge when someone is edge hogging you. If you're forced into that position where someone is sitting on the edge and you can't do anything but Up B, your best shot is to cycle to a red/yellow pikmin and hope for a kill. If you...

    Pikmin still drown!

    Honestly, the presence of water in stages is really a nonisssue for Olimar. The video is a poor example taken too far (sounds rather strong). What I'm trying to say is that the amount of Pikmin that die from water is probably... 5-10% of your total Pikmin deaths (i.e. dying from you throwing...

    Issues with Olimar's Pikmin recovery

    To me, its not exactly Olimar's glaring weakness. Sure its potentially devastating, but as HeroXL stated already, the amount of times you DO end up below the stage and are forced to tether are maybe 1/10 times. Playing with my friends might have made me partially biased, but by varying up the...

    TheSlyMoogle's Olimar Impressions/guide!

    Up B from shield is terrible (no offense). Olimar has much better choices of attacks dealing with pressure, namely is fair/bair or potentially a throw. The Up B leaves Olimar open during the time it takes for him to retract his chain (around one second), and doesn't have nearly enough...

    Can't read the Brawl disc

    My friend and I ran into the same problem today actually. Its got something to do with how the information is put onto the Brawl disc, I didn't delve into it all too much, my friend was doing most of the research. In a nut shell, it seems that the data is put onto the Brawl disc in a way that...

    Leaf -> Bud -> Flower

    Doesn't say anything about the leaves for the pikmin. Just talks about how the Pikmin die quickly, and how he can increase the number of them. (Go Olimar btw!)
