Here are my videos from playing Nairo on his For Glory stream. Nairo got second at Sandstorm to ZeRo, and this is my first time playing against a pro of his level.
Please give advice. Especially for the Dark Pit and ZSS matches! I don't expect anyone to watch all of these, but ANY advice is VERY appreciated!
I think these will be a fun watch for all Olimar mains though. I'm just an average online warrior going up against a pro. And I know I roll too much. But I'm playing For Glory.

VODS Below:
vs Yoshi
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=163m47s
Winner: Me!
Fun Notes:
- Pivot f-smashes are my savior in this match up.
- Someone in chat comments, “YOU GETTING WORKED BY THIS HOMELESS OLIMAR”
vs Falcon
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=167m20s
Winner: Nairo
Fun Notes:
- Nairo uses side-B into a red pikmin, and the lingering effect gives me a free up-smash with Purple punish.
- I almost spike Nairo for the win, but he up-Bs into me and connects the hit to give him another recovery.
- I almost die with a major fail when recovering with 3 pikmin, but Nairo kills some to save me. Phew.
- I got waaaaay too thirsty for d-tilt combos against Falcon. Embarrassing.
- Nairo side-B’s into a pikmin again, the hitbox lingers, but this time I roll into it like an idiot and lose the match. I was expecting to roll behind him, but completely misjudged the situation.
vs Ganon
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=170m25s
Winner: Me!
Fun Notes:
- I had a grab at 140% with Blue, but I chickened out of the up throw because I didn’t know if it would kill and I didn’t want to stale it. It almost cost me the match, but I got a second grab and used up-throw.
- A couple people in chat comment incredulously when I change my tag to “Good Games” because they think I’m leaving after being up 2-1.
vs Little Mac
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=174m56s
Winner: Me!
Fun Notes:
- Nairo comments that he can’t win because we’re playing on the Garden of Hope stage.
- Nairo SD’s basically twice. We take those. Especially against Mac.
vs Little Mac – Round Two!
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=177m05s
Winner: Me!
Fun Notes:
- I do an awful get-up roll, and Nairo calls me out on it on stream.
- Mac gets KO punch online, and I just sit there staring at him. Nairo calls me out again for waiting to hit him with the purple. He’s reading me like a book.
- Unlike the previous game, this is a legit win. I throw a Purple at the end that forces him to either side-B and lose his recovery
or air dodge and end up too deep to recover.
- I get some props from the chat.
vs Little Mac – Round Three!
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=180m23s
Winner: Nairo
Fun Notes:
- Nairo starts ledge trumping, and I start panicking. I lost my recovery skills after that.
- I almost get two-stocked, but land a Purple bair out of up-B. JV2 instead.
vs Zelda
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=183m11s
Winner: Nairo
Fun Notes:
- I grab Nairo with a Blue at 125%, and he mashes out after two pummels. Sigh.
- I do a horribly predictable and slow up-B with 3 pikmin, and I lose my first stock to an fsmash at 89%. Probably cost me the match.
- He does an fsmash, which should give me enough time for a running grab, but the pikmin isn’t by my side yet. I wait for it, which is dumb. By the time it’s with me, he’s recovered from lag. I run and grab, he spot dodges, and gets the KO. I secretly blame the pikmin AI.
vs Dark Pit
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=186m59s
Winner: Nairo
Fun Notes:
- This is one of my worst match ups. Ugh. Advice please?
- I have serious problems landing on the stage. Pit’s dash grab covers so much range. And his attacks outrange everything also. Please halp.
- I panic when throwing out smashes because of side-b AND a normal reflector.
- He reads my obvious air dodge because I don’t know what else to do against the giant up-smash hitbox, except to use my double jump and let him reposition to attack again.
vs Zero Suit Samus (Nairo’s main)
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=188m54s
Winner: Nairo
Fun Notes:
- Another match where I cannot get back to the ground safely.
- I cannot believe ZSS’s grab yanks Olimar out of the air so well.
- I’m a bit lost at what to do when Nairo is in the air while I’m on the ground. All I want are grabs. If I jump to attack, I’ll lose the trades. If I approach and try to fsmash, he can nair or use down-B to evade/attack.
- Nairo bairs me twice, and I think I lose to bad DI on my part. I wasn’t expecting the second one at all.
- I try to change my tag after the match in the following waiting period to “IMONSTREAM!” but it comes out “IMONSTREA!” due to character limits.
vs Zero Suit Samus – Round Two!
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=191m45s
Winner: Nairo
- I get two-stocked, yet I feel I played respectably. Nairo played my second stock VERY well.
- We get screwed a bit by the camera at a certain point. Nairo comments on it. I change my tag after to “LOLCAMERA”.
- Nairo types in “Good Player” after. I feel warm and fuzzy.
vs Donkey Kong
http://www.twitch.tv/nairomk/v/4587453?t=195m17s
Winner: Me!
Fun Notes:
- This match shouldn’t have happened. Nairo said he was leaving, but the clock ticked down and started a new match.
- I had changed my tag to "GG!", which DOESN’T HAVE MY CONTROLLER SETTINGS. Shield and grab are switched. I assume I will lose horribly, but I luck out with the match-up advantage.
- I get some good nair -> up tilt combos on DK’s big hurtbox.
