Throw lots of pickmen and force him to approach, pivot grabs often lead to good positions, shield into grab works well if he is short hopping, as well as running under him and up smash. The key part of that though is to force him to approach, which makes predicting him easier.

If hes high enough up you can up-air, but the tip of the key may kill the pickman before it hits if its at low life. If he lands in front of you, you can grab him after shielding the knock-back he generate when he lands... or pivot if hes behind you. If he lands directly on top of you, you can...

Its kinda only useful for learning about your move's hit-box/sweat spot/frames and practicing low percent combos, but real people DI so combos are a little different in a real setting. Our grab will out range metaknight's tornado, but the problem is that sometimes he will move closer to us...

This helps a surprising amount. Knowing your hit boxes as well as having a good understanding of how long before you can throw out other moves makes it really easy to get better when playing against other players.

@jelly, i believe your talking about ledge plucking, which requires you to dash towards a ledge, then right before you run off, you pluck a pickmen, but the animation is canceled due to falling off. http://youtu.be/u9PlT_WJ394?t=38s At about 39 seconds in ledge plucking is performed in this...

Can you whistle bounce to momentum cancel?

I was under the impression that olimar could out projectile toonlink. if this is the case, just don't engage and keep throwing pickmen. After a while you should have enough of a lead to just use any smash, arial, or a throw to kill him. If his D-smash is still a problem, just try to stay with...

@jellybeanman, You asked this question a little while ago, below are the answers that were given, found a couple pages back in this thread: And to add one to the list, try to DI up, all the time. Its really the only way not to get gimped.

I use up-tilt a lot as a mix up against sonic due to the fact that at times a sonic spin dash can go through F-smash but an U-tilt will catch him out of it and gives a chance to punish. Outside of that i would say Hilt nailed it saying that Nair offers more options coming out of it with the same...

I'm just seconding this. If you fail to DI up, your as good as dead 9/10 times.

Oh, i love Nair -> land cancel -> UpSmash -> juggle against G&W. If you see him getting D-smash happy this is a nice way to make him fear you. But you really shouldnt be approaching him, especially from the air. i hit that wall against my G&W buddy as well, but sending him THIS vid helped...

When you short hop pickman toss, remember to fastfall, it should be the default with exceptions being made against it. Short hop pickman toss can get pickman on some pretty nasty places (back of shell) against Bowser where he cant get them off, he will just charge at you when this happens. Try...

Thank you.

If another character hits one of my pickmen with an attack, does that move become more stale? Also, if i throw out a move that hits 2 opponents, does it get more staled once or twice.

I main Olimar because no matter how much i get better with him, i always find new things to work on in every match-up.
