    Social The Olimar and Alph Social thread!

    Is anyone else pretty peeved about olimar’s shield STILL not being fixed? I figured that it would be a 4.1 fix, but since there was of course no 4.1, maybe 5.1 will save us? It’s just super annoying to make the right play, be ready to punish, but oh no I got shield poked with a full/near full...

    Olimar Video Post/Critique thread

    Hello all, I guess I'll be the first to post a replay! To preface, I just want to say that I know some of the reaction times in this video look SUPER bad, but there was a little stutter here and there. I know my reaction time is bad, but when it looks SUPER bad, it was probably the connection...

    Meta Olimar Match Up Discussion!

    So I play the palutena match up with a pretty campy playstyle. I find that this combined with extra shielding for AR and EF works pretty well due to it helping to avoid palutena's many disjoints/invincible DA and BA. These, at least to me, make it seem harder to stay at mid range. Has anyone had...

    Social The Olimar and Alph Social thread!

    I'm really trying to get better with whistle. I do not use it nearly enough, and by that I mean, not at all to break combos. ....I know I know, I'm missing out on a great tool. Does anyone have any advice on how to practice it besides just throwing it out over and over until I get the feel for...

    Pikmin desync

    I've also had problems with what feels like when they're just standing right next to me, I fair but they don't come up with me. If I can remember to save the match when it happens, I'll post it on the video thread.

    Pikmin desync

    Hey all, Still new to the whole olimar maining thing, and I am having quite the issue with pikmin desyncing at what seems like terrible times. Is there a guide that details in what situations the pikmin desync and how to move appropriately to avoid this as much as possible? If there is not, I...

    Video Thread

    Is there anyway one of the mods can get a video thread going? I'd love to be able to post matches and have you guys tear me apart :)

    Meta Olimar Match Up Discussion!

    I'm relatively new at maining Olimar. I have been a link main in pretty much every game, but from what i've played so far the key to luigi is spacing. I've found that you can't try to get into a boxing match with luigi, his moves come out too quickly. Usually patience is how I've achieved the...

    A Breath of fresh air - Link Smash Switch speculation thread

    So I was watching the matches with link that Nintendo did at the treehouse, and it looks like he's got solid mobility. Down throw doesn't have as much base knockback as I previously thought, which is nice. Also, the first hit of fair seems to be linking pretty nicely with the second. The first...

    A Breath of fresh air - Link Smash Switch speculation thread

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrEGbh7mzmI This is some solid gameplay to watch. Link looks a little more mobile. Boomerang also looks to me like it comes out faster, but of course, I'm not sure

    A Breath of fresh air - Link Smash Switch speculation thread

    Update: Links down throw seems to have much higher base knockback. Meaning, that it doesn't combo into up tilt/ smash at early percents. Granted, the footage I saw was on a Pikachu, but the Pikachu was only at 11%. So if that's the case, that seems to be, at least right now, a nerf. Here's...

    A Breath of fresh air - Link Smash Switch speculation thread

    I have yet to see a tether in any gameplay. I know for a fact he doesn't have one for a grab. I agree with it being good if he gets mobility buffs, and like I said, it looks like he is slightly faster, but there is no data to support that.

    A Breath of fresh air - Link Smash Switch speculation thread

    So these are my opinions thus far. I'm a little worried, because quite frankly, link, to me, looks like he's gotten nerfed. So please, discredit my opinions, so that a long time link main can feel more at ease with the upcoming iteration of link. 1. No tether- this is both good and bad to me...
