This is why I spam off the ledge against some opponents. It makes recovery more difficult for certain characters.

Don't worry about Dair, just get Dthrow-Fair down to a fine art and then Dair whenever the opportunity arises which is, quite frankly, not very often.

Roll and down smash more. You've got the basics down but you're style is pretty predictable. You should mix up your game on the ground a little more. That's all I could think of from watching them. You're alright, not one of the best Olimar's I've seen, but I didn't notice anything you were...

Pros: Good on platform stages, good for edge guarding, it's got extraordinary range (with six pikmin) with a disjointed hitbox and it's his only attack on a diagonal. Cons: Poor damage and knockback, lots of lag, easily punishable of you over use it.

Welcome to the metagame. It's simple game theory, really. Because there is diversity, there will be a "best character", even if we don't know it yet. Therefore, the character who has the most potential to succeed is the best character. For example: Even if Marth has a huge chance of losing to...

There is no such thing as "cheap". Broken, maybe, but I don't think any characters in Brawl have shown to be broken yet either. Olimar himself probably won't even be top tier, just because of his easily gimped recovery. That said, he's pretty rad, definitely the best camper in the game and his...

Where there is diversity, there will be tiers. That will never change in competitive gaming. Different games have different tiers though. For all we know the difference between the best character in Brawl and the worst is as narrow as the difference between Fox and Marth in Melee. That's pretty...

You could be on to something. I completely understand what you mean when you say people automatically brush him off because of how bad he was in Melee. I think the heavier characters like DK and Bowser are having this problem right now, because I keep seeing people rank them much lower than they...

Have you guys even played as Donkey Kong yet? DK is great, he's quite possibly the most improved character from melee. He got stronger, faster, and huge range boosts. He's not near the top IMO, but he is at least in the middle of the pack.

I've been playing a lot of Ike so far. Olimar is so much fun, but I don't feel like I understand him enough yet. Out of the returning characters, to my great surprise I've been digging Donkey Kong, who I deplored in the first two games of the franchise. He feels so much better in Brawl, unlike...

Wow, I'm glad it's not just me. I've been trying for hours to get a With Anyone match going. I did play a couple games with friends, all went well except for one that had tremendous lag at the beginning.

I like the look and feel of the classic, and I bought one just for SSB:B as I don't own any VC games yet. If I don't like it, I'll just go back to the GC controller.
