Hey, thanks for all the game tonight, really enjoyed it, despite being hours of me realizing how bad I am.

In the grand scheme of things, are there enough Oli mains and tournament results to defend his position in the tier list, or is still somewhat speculative? Is Olimar getting the respect he deserves? -True

>< Meant it more as a joke, no worries =) Just seeing what is new in the world since last i was a big part of it. I'll redeem my bad humor with a legit question though, nair cancel into usmash an effective idea to throw into normal approaches, or specifically more against a spot dodger or...

So, if its been a solid 7 months or so since I was a common sight, what new do I need to read up on / figure out to catch up to date without ramming my head into a wall reading things we've known for that long? And what did you guys do recently to actually earn some respect for Oli? =) -True

Unfortunately can't say I've loaded up the game since May, but the little trolling I've done just now sure is making it hard not to put it in again. We'll see, if I do start playing again I'll certainly still be Olimar and I'll definitely come back around here no worries =) -True

Hey Shrink, and anyone else still around that may remember me from what seems like ages ago =) Just stopping by, quick trip down memory lane sorta deal to see how brawl had developed. Saw this thread and had to watch, good job =D Hope your all still having fun with Oli, keep it up, someday...

Olimar isn't a strong campy character in the projectile spam sense. Olimar is a campy character in the light that he plays strongest when sitting just outside of his or his opponent's range and attacking when they enter the space. Latch is NOT a good projectile when compared to the rest of...

The game will stop being played competitively before any character is banned. Brawl has a lot of ground to make up to be as competative as SSBM still, and while I hope/believe it can, if any character is found to be that broken and the game doesn't have at least as committed a following as SSBM...

Honestly to get a killing throw odds are your going to need to get more damage and a situational grab that is every bit as difficult and typically less efficient than a USmash. The best throws as listed are a Blue BThrow and a Purple UThrow. Blue FThrow isn't bad, but must be at considerably...

DSmash isn't bad, however I've found the move to be quite situational, not quick enough to use for assured spacing, not enough range to really space your opponents with, tremendous potential if you can land it inside your opponent for a double hit, however it is not the easiest move to land...

So when someone actually spaces correctly and you can't shield grab because they are out of range, or behind you, then what? =P Purple grabs are difficult, the reduced range makes things difficult, however their UThrow KO potential is mentioned in the Advanced Olimar Discussion thread...

Search is a wonderful thing... Last time it came up no one was able to find any way of resetting the counter apart from landing on stage if even for only a frame. However as mentioned you are able to grab the ledge repeatedly seemingly forever, if two additional tethers and infinite re-grabs...

Only in extreme stage cases have we found there to be any difference. By extreme I mean the only consistent skewed ratios compared to those Keeper gave happened on the Ice Climber stage, favoring Blue pikmin. It is also believed certain terrain types IN SINGLE PLAYER SUBSPACE EMISSARY ONLY...

Don't be such a hard nosed Olimar and the Yoshi matchup will become less of a one sided affair. Don't worry about attacking through Yoshi's moves as much as punishing the longer/slower ones. As mentioned a turning egg is not a strong egg, so forefit a bit of position to limit the Yoshi's...

When you hit them from above with the latter half of the attack/hit box... yes it will slightly, nothing spike worthy like other characters non DAir moves, but this was the basis of the Textbook combo long ago. Compare it to Sheik's FAir from SSBM, same sorta downward/horizontal knock back. So...
