Congratulations, you know how to olimar.
Those are actually all lyrics to songs that Youko found for this hint, so he gets the credit for that. Once you find the artist for every song, and take the first letter of their name, it will come out to be this:This was a therapeutic chain of events...
Guess I’m not the fighting kind...
...Will we always say we tried?
And I’ve lost all doubt in a chemical romance...
We tried to wash our hands of all of this...
Doors inside my head, bolted from within...
PKluva is the first deliberately misleading hint. PK love is an attack that only Lucas/Claus have in Earthbound, but PKluva is actually a dummy account I set up today just for the hint. The dummy account has one single post: "I fight for my friends." This second misleading hint may seem like its referring to Ike, but its actually telling people to check out PKluva's friends list. PKluva's friends list has one single person: Overswarm. If you then click on Overswarm and read his wall, you'll see a profile visitor message from PKluva that reads, "This is the end of the line for you, buddy. I'll show you what oli oli oxen free really means." This final hint is pretty obviously Olimar, and it also confirms to people that its the last part of the hint, so they know its not a trap like the others.Youko said:P(anic! At the Disco) – "This was a therapeutic chain of events"
K(eane) – "Guess I’m not the fighting kind"
L(ostprophets) – "Will we always say we tried?"
U(sed, The) – "And I’ve lost all doubt in a chemical romance"
V(erve Pipe, The) – "We tried to wash our hands of all of this"
A(udioslave) – "Doors inside my head, bolted from within"
Or have it post in the thread.You should have the pklova account post "olimar" a couple of times in that thread, just in case someone gets the first part (which they won't)
I love you.he's also boring to fight against unless you grab release him at the edge and down tilt to edge hog LOL
you, sir, are a god among men.I should stop confusing the people trying to figure out the hint lol.
It seems like they will never get it :/.
If anyone was interested for the answer to my riddle:
There is a small town of a few hundred inhabitants of which the following statements are surprisingly true:
Every man is a perfect logician and is aware that this is true of every other man in the town.
Every man in the town knows all about the behavior of every woman in the town, with the exception, if he is married, of his own wife. It is taboo for anyone to speak about a woman to her husband.
It is an immutable custom (abhorrent to us maybe, but as inevitable as night following day to them) that, when a man discovers that his wife has been unfaithful, he takes her out into the town square that same night, and on the stroke of midnight shoots her.
There are 40 unfaithful wives in town.
Now, life has been continuing its uneventful course for some time when, one fateful summer's day, June 1st actually, the Mayor summons all the townsmen to a meeting in the town hall. 'I am very sorry to have to tell you this,' he says, 'but there is an unfaithful wife in this town.' The meeting ends and the men disperse.
What, if anything, happens, and when?
Answer:
In order to understand what's going on in that poor little town, let's play a game with the men in that town. If you recall, they're all perfect logicians so this excercise should be trivial to them. Let's assume we invite 10 of the men in that town to play a game with us--we'll arange them in a circle so that they can each see every other man, then we place a black or white hat on their head so that they can see the hat on every head except their own. We tell them that when the town crier stands in the center of the circle and rings his bell, every man wearing a black hat must take a step forward. We also tell them that at least one man will be wearing a black hat. the town crier then proceeds to ring his bell once every 2 minutes (we have to give our perfect logicians at least a small amount of time to sort their thoughts...)
First let's take a look at the trivial case of only one man of the 10 wearing a black hat. When the town crier rings his bell, the perfect logician realizes that there must be at least one black hat and he doesn't see one on anyone else's head and concludes that his hat is black and takes a step forward. That was simple.
The case with two men wearing black hats gets a bit more confusing. Each of the two men wearing a black hat sees one other man wearing a black hat. The other eight men present see two men wearing hats. The first time the crier rings his bell, each of the two men wearing a black hat expects the other man to step forward based on the argument given in the previous paragraph. Of course, neither of the men steps forward because they are not sure that they have a black hat on. As soon as they realize that the other man must see a black hat somewhere in the crowd, and not seeing two themselves, they realize that they must be wearing the other black hat. When the crier rings his bell the second time, they both step forward. If you think that was confusing to read, just imagine how confused I was writing it.
When there are three men wearing black hats, they each see two others wearing black hats and expect them both to step forward the second time the crier rings his bell. Of course the other two don't, because they each see two other black hats, then after the second bell ringing, they realize there must be three men wearing black hats and because they only see two they conclude that they are wearing the third black hat.
What it boils down to is that each man expects some number of men to step forward equal to the number of black hats they see. If they see 0 black hats, they step forward themself. If they see 1 black hat they expect that man to step forward on the first bell ring. If he doesn't, they conclude that they, too, are wearing a black hat. If they see 2 black hats they expect both those men to step forward on the second bell ringing. If they don't, they conclude that they, too, must be wearing a black hat. This general line of reasoning goes on for as many logicians are wearing black hats.
Now let's see how this works for the unfaithful wives in our little town...
If there had been only one unfaithful wife in town when the mayor made his statement, each other man in town would have known about that one unfaithful wife while the poor man whose wife had been cheating would have been totally surprised to hear the news and taken his wife out that night to shoot her.
If there had been two unfaithful wives, each of the two husbands with the cheating wives would have known about the other's unfaithful wife and expected them to shoot her on that first night. When they woke up the next morning and saw the unfaithful wife going about her business in the town, they would have realized that there were two unfaithful wives in town, and not knowing of any other unfaithful wives would have concluded that theirs was also unfaithful and taken her out that night and shot her.
Again, this line of reasoning grows to fit the total number of unfaithful wives. The 40 men whose wives were unfaithful would have known about the other 39 and expected them to be shot on the 39th night. When they woke up on the morning after the 39th night only to find them going about their business in town, they would have realized that there must have been 40 unfaithful wives and knowing only of 39 would have concluded that theirs was also unfaithful and on the 40th night, taken her out to the town square and shot her along side the other 39 unfaithful wives.
I didn't make the image, I took it from Umbreon's thread XDOverswarm, a lot is two words.
if you want a challenge, try beating someone with olimar and never picking pikmin. you better hope those three pikmin you start out with get you a lot of KOs...
anyway, the electric pikmin have a different trajectory when you throw them. Also, I believe Purple pikmin have an awesome downthrow. I think. I know that the blue ones are top tier for throwing (especially back throw) but that was already said earlier.
Also, I could have sworn they all had different attributes on their smashes and aerials, i.e. variable knockback and damage. the white ones blow pretty hard...if one latches to you it's easy to get off, and it dies quickly.
and olimar's usmash is amazing.
lastly, I agree with the above post by OS^
As a general rule, Brawl appears to me to be far more counterpick-heavy than Melee. I personally think that as the metagame evolves, the best players will be using 4-5 mains, at a minimum.
Grounded up-B?Granted, he has a glaring weakness in that he has no grounded attacks that hit in a diagonal fashion on either side (meaning a blind spot unless he fairs),
