Super disappointed with my performance at Abadango Saga. First set was okay. I 2-0'ed a Mewtwo from NorCal. Second set was atrocious. I was up against a Charizard. I had played a different Zard earlier in friendlies, so I thought I'd have a handle on this. In the first match, the game was...

For the record, I didn't put my four Olimar players in any order. Dabuz is the highest placing Olimar player, but he also is willing to switch off Olimar for his worst MUs. So that does make it more difficult to place him. (Although props for beating Fatality in what I feel is a losing MU.)...

Haha, yeah. Long trip from Florida. I'm probably going. Will most likely drown in pools like KTAR Saga. If anyone else is going, PM me. Maybe we could help each other with coaching or MU tips if you know who you're going to face.

Anyone here going to rep Olimar at Abadango Saga? You, Angbad, Shuton, and Dabuz?

Falling nair to up smash is definitely true on characters with big hurtboxes. I've had trouble landing it on smaller characters, but it may be true depending on the percent.

So, of course, in the middle of this discussion, Dabuz goes ahead and uses an extraordinary amount of Olimar at Smash Con. I wonder what the thread's thoughts are on this. I'm not sure it necessarily changes my own opinion on viability. At the higher MUs in tourney, Dabuz used Oli to beat...

I think you're dealing with two important issues here, but you're sorta conflating them as one thing. 1. What is the perception of Olimar in the meta? and 2. Does Olimar have the tools to advance in the meta? (i.e. "Is Olimar good?") To the first question, I would say that Shuton getting...

Shuton the Olimar got second place at the big Sumabato tourney in Japan. First place went to Komorikiri who won a trip to The Big House. I just finished watching all his Top 8 matches. Here's the huge VOD link. Just skip around to find his matches. My very quick notes: Aerial-heavy...

I feel like I'm good at switching up on the fly when I'm in the lead. Like, if I take a stock lead, I'm very aware of my position, and I will take small chip damage and be happy just getting them from 0% to 40% before I lose my lead. BUT when I'm behind, I get nervous a bit. That definitely...

Went 3-2 and drowned in pools at 2GGT KTAR Saga. Beat a Fox 2-1 first round. Last stock, last hit. He got pivot fsmashed with a red and lost. He slammed his controller down (later apologized.) Angel Cortes told me I played well. :) Lost next round to a Mario 1-2. First stock in first...

Dabuz did a tier list breakdown today on his stream and listed mobility as the biggest factor that contributes to being a top tier. I thought that's worth mentioning in light of whether or not Olimar is viable or not. Air speed, acceleration, run speed, etc. really do hurt Olimar at every...

I definitely agree with this. It can get so stressful when pikmin fail to work. I was playing a match the other day where I rolled onto stage from the ledge and immediately did a dsmash. I would've won the match with my spacing, but when I rolled onto stage, a pikmin fell underneath...

I tested the double jab. The double jab *does* put them into the spin animation, but they can jump out of it. If they try to tech and fail, then you have time to run up and up smash. If they jump out of it, then you'll lose the chance. So it's not guaranteed, even at the 25% chance of...

So by now, many of you have seen the Beefy Smash Doods video about a new untechable situation. Basically, when the opponent is over 100%, they can enter a special animation where their character spins while falling in hitstun. This animation has about a 25% chance of occurring, and if the...

Article with theScore eSports Dabuz recently was interviewed and spoke a lot about Olimar. Wanted to get the Smashboards' Olimar crew thoughts. Key Quotes: "But also it's just matchup knowledge. People don't know Olimar! When was the last time you went to a tournament, thinking to yourself...
