Mindset for recovery

[ThaRoy]

I see a lot of people who view matchups pertaining to Olimar stating that his recovery is what hinders him. That's true, but it also goes the other way. Take a look at this...

MetaKnight gimps the majority of the cast very well.

Let's take MetaKnight VS Fox. Fox has decent recovery, horizontal and vertical, and also can shine to halt his falling. MetaKnight however can still gimp Fox, not very easy, but still is done. Fox has good recovery, but MetaKnight just is to good against this.

Now, Olimar VS MetaKnight. MetaKnight gimps good recoveries, he gimps bad recoveries. Olimar has an AWFUL recovery, so MetaKnight's ability to gimp doesn't really matter. That takes a point off from MetaKnight and from Olimar.

So now, Olimar's bad recovery kind of negates MetaKnight's gimping since the bad recover doesn't need to be gimped much. So what does that do? It assigns a null value to MetaKnight's best attribute and Olimar's worst attribute.

Just a little mindset. Discuss?

Umm, I think that he means that MK isn't gonna do much to gimp Olimar since his recovery is seemingly bad.

Is that what you mean?

Yes, I wish I said it that simple

completely wrong

olimar's recovery isn't bad if you just take into account distance, so he has to be gimped. mk has a very easy time gimping. so it makes olimar's worst asset worse and makes one of mk's best assets shine even more

You're saying it makes Metaknight's best asset worse because Olimar is too easy to gimp? I think what is really happening is Metaknight just needs to work less than with other characters to gimp. So yeah, AndyG got it spot on in his post.

Although, I'm not sure if having the mindset that the MK isn't gonna do much to gimp Olimar is gonna help us. Its sounds like you're saying that MK mains are cocky or something and don't worry about Olimar much, and that we can take advantage of this. Sorry, but this isn't the mindset anyone needs.

I think I agree with Rocann. I don't think people are lazy to not try and gimp.
