    You're right on the terminology, I knew the difference I just used the wrong word. I'll fix that soon. I don't know what you mean when you say pikmin slide, are you talking about short hop pikmin toss waveland?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiIl58Q1fL0&feature=youtu.be Hey all, I made a video of a lot of the Olimar-specific ATs that I know, check it out and let me know what you think. The writeup is in the video description but I'll repost it here. Bounce-Braking Similar to G&W's Bucket Braking...

    Using 2 or one pikmin is risky because Olimar's neutral game relies on side-b. Not to mention that since the health nerfs, pikmin die after a trade or two which means you'll soon be left at the mercy of the RNG when your pikmin die.

    Hey guys, just thought I would give my opinion on the 3.6 update. After reading the things you guys have said I almost wonder if we're playing the same character. The extra endlag on many of his moves hit him really hard, and right now his recovery is an absolute joke. I can't believe I'm...

    Olimar Advanced Techniques

    Platform smashing: stand just on the edge of a ledge so that your pikmin go off the side when you down smash. Do a down smash, then the front pikmin will fly up and land on the platform above you. You can then do a platform smash with it. Works even with 2 pikmin, but only on stages where the...
