O.o I don't see what you're talking about...
Perhaps a time reference?

Looks like lucario took fire damage. Olimar can deal fire damage, falco can't, thus a hitbox glitch. Maybe the attack did some sort of "Chain-hit" from falco to lucario?

it's like in the last 3 seconds

looks like you just usmash falco and falco flies up and hits lucario...
That's what I thought it might be... but I wasn't sure if it was something else.

No, lucario does a fair... there's no fire.

what it looks like is that when the pikmin is attacked and knocked from olimar, but olimar is unharmed, when olimar releases the smash it's for some reason sent at a different trajectory since the pikmin is still locked as the pikmin that will be used for the attack. in the second clip it's hard to see what happens, but the pikmin is actually launched up in the air like a rocket, almost higher than wario is sent flying. I have... no idea why the pikmin would be boosted to go this high or fast, but i plan to do a lot of tests on the matter, since i'm pretty much done with my pluck chart. Right now it looks like something that's only situational. But we'll never know if it's something that can be applied or not until we figure out the pikmin mechanics as much as possible.

edit: i just tested it with FSmashes and i was right. TL's boomerang knocks the pikmin back and the pikmin is sent horizontally above olimar. also works with his bow hitting the USmash.

I don't really see why using it would be too effective versus campers unless Olimar somehow gains free motion during this. From what I can tell, the pikmen would move back with all of the mentioned projectiles and thus actually have less reach than normal. :/

i was sort of imagining it being a super f-smash and flying far forwards like the u-smash goes up

I've seen a similar thing like that, its pretty interesting because it happened to me a few times. Its like the Pikmin acted on their own even though they got hit, Pikmin seem to have an auto attacking feature if one would say. Or that its a glitch...

Falco + Lucario Super USmash: Falco hits the Pikmen with a Sour Spotted DAir which would send a normal character up and to the left, which is what the pikmen did.

Wario Super USmash: Wario's DAir pulls a character upwards before the final hit and if Wario gets interrupted, the character caught in the DAir would be pulled at a similar trajectory that the pikmen followed.

TLink + Wario Super USmash: Once again, the pikmen followed the expected path that would happen when hit by TLink's boomerang.

From what I can tell, it doesn't increase the distance the pikmen will go, only change its starting location based on the trajectory a normal character would follow for each hitbox. :/

I could be (and am really hoping) that I'm wrong. Don't have a way to test it right now though..someone thought it'd be fun to steal my brawl disc. :(

I'm pretty sure this is has the same reasoning of that of the recently posted fsmash glitch and the ever popular usmash glitch. When Olimar's pokemons get hit at the right spot in the right frames, it just causes it to move. In reality, it seems useless since its out of your control, but who knows.

With all these glitches happening though, I feel that one day, we will be able to control pixmans just like the ice climbers, just x3.5. Imagine that haha.

so far from what I've tested, Sudai is mostly correct. With the FSmash the pikmin will be knocked back a bit and above olimar. So unless the opponent hits the pikmin and then keeps rushing forward (or jumps?) the pikmin likely wont hit him. The USmash is even less often to happen, as the pikmin isnt even sent toward the direction of the opponent, but is still launched FROM behind olimar, upwards. I havent had a chance to test whether the pikmin is 'boosted' for the USmash or not, but i would imagine that it would only be launched as an original USmash from wherever the pikmin is, in the air, when the smash is released. Sorta like the Piranha Plant Glitch at Picto Chat.

hold on Sudai....so your saying that for the few frames that it happens, the pikmin acts as almost a human character? but just using the upsmash? hmmm...i needa make it happen more to get more evidence so u guyscan break itdown....manipulate it =]]

I'm not saying it acts as a human controlled character because from what I can tell, it's already locked into the smash, but it does seem to have similar knock back trajectories that a character would take

Thanks for confirming my other theories Hilt. : )

olimar doesn't have AT's
the closest thing to an AT is the tether stuff

AT implies you need tech skill to do it >.>

Lol at Toon Link being gay. Olimar is one of his hardest matchups, so you shouldn't mind that much. Anyway, LINK is gay and TL is not. He has had girlfriends, while Link always rescues the princess and makes no move at all. He doesn't even talk to her...

That depends on your definition of tech skill. All of these terms are so loosely defined, it's hard to say what is countable as a "tech" or "glitch" or anything of the sorts.

how do you practice getting your pikmin hit for something random that might not even happen?

it implies you can do it freely whenever you want and isn't dependent on your opponent/other person

this is a glitch that could be interesting if you somehow figure out how to replicate it with a partner
i don't play oli in doubles unless i team with meow lol

By the way hilt is posting, it seems like he is able to replicate it with relative ease, it is actually getting the pikmin to hit others that is difficult. I may be misreading his posts, however.
If it is replicatable, then one could practice it by just improving reactions and timing. I mean, how do you practice applying wavedashing for simply dodging an attack that is random and may not even happen? You watch for startup frames, and you predict it while applying proper spacing. Just like this, assuming it is replicatable.....that said, I actually feel it's pretty friggin useless lmao

The only real use I could see for this, even in doubles, is when teaming with a Game And Watch. USmash on a platform and the GnW UAirs the pikmen as it rises means super high USmash. Same for FSmash potentially.

Any other attacks that could propel your pikmen forward would hit Olimar and cause him to be interrupted.

I guess it could be used as a surprise back attack though. Charge FSmash > Teammate hits it behind you > BAM!
