It has happened with other characters, Mario, Marth, Link, and Zelda. It just happens most often on Lucario.

I've had this happen to me a few times... Sometimes when I send out a grab, I either get hit or grabbed out of it. This is not so unusual except for the fact that it happens from longer range. Basically the pikmin goes out for the grab, and a character, lets say Lucario in this case is just...

Hilt is right about the water. It has saved me on PS so many times. On the other hand you have to be careful of characters with good spikes while in the water. Maybe its just me, but I hate playing this stage on Olimar mainly because of all the environmental hazards. The main 2 problem...

The Nana super grab is a crazy thing to see (if I'm thinking of the same thing you are GIMR). I've done just a normal pivot grab before (running past them and grabbing as I pass), and sometimes Popo will miss the grab, and keep sliding, but Nana will get the grab, and for some reason when this...

I always have a very difficult time with this match up. F-air if properly spaced beats out all of the IC's attacks except blizzard (and maybe belay?). I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I'v actually had a Marth, who is stuck in the freeze frames from the blizzard, actually...

Troublesome? LOL it wrecks ALL of Olimar's Pikmin attacks except U-air and the chain. If they approach from the right angle you cant pivot grab them either :( Oh yea it also beats Oli's U-tilt, not sure about our Nair though, but I would assume its the same. People dont give Mario enough...

I know you guys moved on to IC now, but I just had to ask why you all think Olimar has the advantage? I read the posts but what people seem to be missing is that Mario's N-air beats ALL of Olimar's pikmin attacks except for U-air and the pikmin chain, and it beats most of the non-pikmin attacks...

Ok Demonic let me explain myself :) I did not mean cape in the middle of an aerial, I meant that if Mario is in the air, a good one who knows what they are doing should expect us to blizzard as they are coming down, so instead of using an aerial they can use the cape instead of the aerial...

I am confident in it being against them, Mario deserves more credit than people give him, if played right he can rack up damage fast and his aerials may have short range, but they do have good priority against IC. But ok suppose you walk away from the fireball, what then? All this is...

Haha, the IB canceling out the fireball in the air really has a lot to do on exactly where both players are on the stage. You could jump to block them true, but assuming that there is a fireball out, and the Mario is approaching behind it, you use your IB in the air to stop it, and you have a...

Well doing an IB when he fireballs does not work that well, since the fireballs bounce, and good Mario players dont use the fireballs from the ground, often they will just go over the IB. Also when he is using fireballs its usualy when he is approaching, and while your shielding the fireball...

I have a lot of experience with this match up, and it really all comes down to the Mario knowing the match up or not. The cape = **** against IC (and pretty much everyone else), it will turn around your belay and your squall (very easy for them to cape squall!!!), so it can be problematic...

Alright I guess there is no easy way to get those skills back lol. Thanks for the info on the smashes.

So I had to take about a 2 week break from playing members of my crew, and I lost some of my chain grabbing skills. Now that I'm back, I cant seem to get them back due to the fact that my crew mates have not lost their over developed ability to break out of grabs super fast (once I picked up IC...

If you see him flashing with a full aura sphere, try to keep at least one pikmin "thrown" in front of you, while its walking back it will stop the aura sphere. I just do this to take away another thing to worry about. Side B never helps me much in this match up because Lucario can just SH fair...
