Good Olimar. I don't see any huge problems. All I can say really is that you could be a lot more diverse. Your strategy is solid.

 

[Dyyne]

Nice oli, fun vids. One thing I saw was that you always did the dthrow->usmash-> followup combo. Try mixing it up. Dthrow->fsmash is a good one. Nice olimar

 

[DtJ Hilt]

Dont USmash so much lol. DThrow-> USmash should only be used when DThrow -> FSmash -> regrab -> Tech Chase cant. Which it can on ike. At mid percents (around 50%), after a DThrow, run past and go for a pivot grab every once in awhile. Mix it up. But DThrow -> FSmash is too sexy to not use ;D

FThrow and BThrow should only be used when they're at killing percents (around 120%) AND it's a pikmin that'll kill them without you having to try to edge guard. Not that edge guarding with olimar is impossible... he's just not the character for it. And all you were doing was diminishing your kill throws, making it difficult to get an easy throw kill.

Another thing i noticed was that when the opponent was at killing percents, you spammed your kill moves, making yourself very predictabe (such as in the second video when you began spamming USmash/FSmash. Try to create opening with latch. It would have been easy with the purples you had.

oh, and use FAir more lol. Especially with Yellow/Red.

As for stages (delphino in particular) i cant stress this enough:
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DELPHINO'S PIKMIN CONTROL

lol seriously, if you like blue and yellow? pluck more from the shallow water. Red and yellow? The beach. Purple? the main floating platform. Oh, and olimar can shark under the main platform too. Drop while holding the ledge, UAir your opponent, and your chain will then either pop you above the stage or go horizontal and tether back to the stage.

nice olimar btw! :D

thnx u guys this
too i never use
d-throw fsmash
i can't believe i
didnt even know
about its.... how weird

i need to try these
teqs out! =D

 

[geekd]

be careful how often you space with rolling -- olimars roll is garbage. Also his upb is amazing on the offensive if you shorthop it (lands lagless). Didn't see any WAC either although i only watched the first and third vids. Oh and pivot grabs are like the olimar mantra. Anyway, you play a good olimar. Just diversify a bit and you'd be great.

 

[Fino]

Also his upb is amazing on the offensive if you shorthop it (lands with minimal lag).

*fixed*

A lagless chain landing occurs when you interrupt it by landing right after the attack is done, such as with a platform, or when recovering.

If it were lagless you would be able to attack immediately when landing.

[KillerSOS]

Solid Olimar.

I dont have much to say... you play very well all around.

 

[DanGR]

Agreed^. You've got a solid Olimar. I'd just think more about diminishing your kill attacks, and not being so predictable when it came time to kill. Also, use some different throw combos. Dthrow->upsmash is boring, lol. Try dthrow->fsmash, dthrow->fair, dthrow->?. Make up some. See what works. Also, no offensive upb??? It's a great followup. Try to use it more.

 

[KillerSOS]

Dthrow to U smash to U air is the best combo... why would you use another???

 

[Rocann]

it doesn't work on everyone, for instance, good game and watch can easily make dthrow -> usmash miss even at 0%

 

[Llumys]

Exactly. It doesn't work on everyone, and some people like to keep their up smashes fresh. Also, fair/fsmash/etc lead to longer combos if tech chased properly...

 

[Kyas]

Avoid rolling towards your opponent. A good player will be completely unfazed by the maneuver, predict and punish.

Why do I get
The feeling that
Your posts
Are verse and not prose?


Anyway, I don't really use up-b as a kill move, just as more of a combo finisher or a surprise every now and then if they're out of range of your aerials. It's pretty easy for opponents to dodge it, so just use it when it won't lag (when you aren't very high off the ground).

 

[ElemMasterZeph92]

In general you need to throw more and keep an eye on your line. Olimar can do only do so much with smashes and aerials, so throws are a very important. As for the Pikmin, you need to use the blue pikmin's bthrow and purple's upsmash/upthrow to kill (the white's pummel attack to rack up damage quicker as well).

You have a nice Olimar overall though.
