So, how Olimar's custom moveset will work?

I mean, how can you give different properties to plucking or throwing Pikmin? Seeing Mario's Custom Moveset, it isn't just something like "more damage, less knockback" stuff, just want to know if anyone has some ideas for this.

Neutral B (Pluck)
- Standard pluck, fastest option
- Create hitbox. but slower
- Pluck to max in one pull, slowest option
- Customize pluck rotation
= Could also switch bulbmin/rock pikmin into the pluck rotation, but that's unlikely

UpB (Pink Pikmin)
- Standard recovery
- More range, pikmin weight penalty increased
- Less range, pikmin weight penalty lessened
- Pink pikmin get fancy hats

SideB (Toss)
- Standard toss
- Toss all at once (C-stick bum rush!)
- All pikmin gain knockback based on their weight (with whites having zero KB)

DownB (Whistle)
- Standard whistle, no super armor, max call range
- Super armor, smaller call range
- Whistle gains windbox

IDK.

That's some great ideas, I can't believe I forgot the "all at once", I always did that on Pikmin 3
Also, I think for the Side-B, a "long range" toss is likely, unoriginal but likely

Yeah I could see Rock Pikmin being in there somewhere

Hard to say really, bring back Pikmin Chain maybe?
I like the idea of switching between various types of Pikmin.

I think having Rock Pikmin somewhere in the variation would be extremely cool. I think Olimar has one of the more difficult movesets to customize, so I'm excited to see what they do with him.

down b variants could have super spicy spray that would make your pikmin more powerful within range of the whistle graphic and super bitter spray which is like an ice freeze attack but with covering them in rock. Both of these would be at the expense of not being able to call back pikmin. Is this viable? Not my idea by the way just spreading amazing ideas. http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/28nnku/thoughts_on_olimars_custom_moves/

Maybe there could be a chargeable side B for distance.
The whistle could cause people nearby to get the dazed effect.
