well, still applies for me, i live on long island and there are very few local tournaments and i can't afford to take a train to nyc for a tournament so i will never be known around my area except for being the best in my school

In Stockholm, Nintendo of Sweden is holding a tournament around Sweden in stores called "ElGiganten" (ElectricGiant, lol) but sadly the ElectricGiant in my area arent hosting any tournament. If I could go to the tournament I could take video of everything and show me owning the **** out of everyone.

I would say Mr. X and NC-Echo is the best Olimar, they play so fast.

Shrink plays faster than both

I consider mysef up there as well but there is a big difference between being known and being the best. We can talk about the best we know of though

i would say i'm one of the best, but i have no proof except for some top 8's that i get very often. which is an amazing accomplishment in so cal.
recently went to san diego so they all know me now. people who play me are like "wow, you play so different from awex, you're so fast and those combo's are just wow. gg's" etc etc. hopefully in august when i go to (hopefully) BIO and Axis i'll get my name out there more and some vids recorded
which reminds me, my friend should be posting up some vids of me vs. his TL

he's actually one of the best toon links, but there is some stuff he needs to work on, which you'll notice after seeing the matches. but regardless he is still good.

buuut yeah i've been compared to mr. x and easily am on the same level as him.

I've been trying to get him to post a video but BlackWaltzX is freaking amazing.

I play Marth and I'm honestly convinced that Olimar has the advantage against Marth despite what every chart I've read says.

And I'm not a bad Marth either. I just get completely outranged.

fearless got 7th at fast with olly...so i'd put him in the list...never saw any vids of him though but i'm gonna look.
how hard was his bracket
i've seen undeserving people place high because they got an easy bracket

if he had great people in his bracket and he won, all the power to him
i'm just sayin

I'm convinced that everyone is just playing Olimar wrong when they face Marth.

It's all about grabs. Really. I am HELPLESS to Olimar's grabs. It's ridiculous.

you really think we don't try to grab?

i got demolished by mikeHAZE's marth. it was bad. but then i went GnW and almost won. sooo close

the main thing with marth is a purple pikmin

I know that purples wreck us but honestly man, I got nothing on his Olimar.

Your grabs should work nearly every time.

Look: I approach with a fair. You powershield and grab. I approach walking with f and dtilts. You outrange it with a fsmash or a grab. I dancing blade, you shield through it and retaliate.

Unless I play PERFECT, it's so incredibly difficult to beat that Olimar. I have no idea how Olimar can have trouble with Marth.

I'm aggressive but not overly. I'm very cautious of spacing and staying out of range of your throws and smashes. The thing about Olimar is that getting hit/grabbed once isn't just like 20%. It's around 50%. So I time things right and I fair, retreating fair, forward b. I don't know then man maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

a marth keeping pressure on an olimar is what makes the matchup very difficult. you being cautious is probably whats holding you back

I understand that. I mean, I do keep pressure. I'm always attacking but I use a LOT of retreating fairs and SHADs to bait him into attacking and grabbing and such so I can retaliate. I get powershielded every time if I attack outright.

Also, I use dancing blade quite a bit for the damage and shield pressure which works but I always end up on the losing end.


*shrug* Lemme go watch a few Marth v Olimar matches and see if the matches play out the same. I was hanging with Waltz the other day and we played a good 80 matches. Most of which I lost. >.<

In the jawn, with the jawn.
Holy crap a Mod plays Olimar?
... never knew.

Lol it was me who did this sorry guys but it's going to have to be said.
Because i live in the northeast i'm definitely giving hsout outs to BlackWaltz and Starz. They are both freakishly good. Starz got 10th at CH3 and waltz got like 6th at no nonsense.

But from our boards i'd say it's the same as most people's posts.
(not in any order)
Shanus(east coast goes first :p)
Shrink
Mr.X(gotta show love 4 da west lol)
Starz(nonsense)
...5?
