Captain Olimar great "teaser"

[KingFirkus]

I know a lot my friends were upset that Captain Olimar made the cut, but just think of the possibilities. If an obscure character like Captain Olimar makes it then a bunch of other characters look to have a lot better chance. Please post wit your own opinion on the update, and im sorry if this post is in the wrong category or has already been posted. TY.

That is so interesting, and I am interested.

Olimar isn't an Obscure character. He's has Pikmin and Pikmin 2 games. He's well known.

 

[soviet prince]

I like olimer he is unique

Yes, i know he has those games, but no one saw him as a potential character in SSBB. I do however believe he could be very powerful.

 

[victra♥]

Captain Olimar obscure? He stars in one of the most original and best selling games for the gamecube. This is one of the most arrogant threads i've seen in a long time.

A lot of people saw him as a potential character..

Or maybe

But yes, I agree that other characters are likely. But we already knew there are other characters... They're just secret...

Your joking, he was the most likely of the remaining characters...

WOW...

 

[Thi0s]

Unique characters are unique.

I personally love the fact that Olimer is being represented. He was like, in the very first Gamecube game along with melee.

 

[KingFirkus]

Your joking, he was the most likely of the remaining characters...

WOW...

Olimar, the most likely!

Now thats a joke. With so many other characters yet to be confirmed, like Ridley, Sheik, etc.

Definately not the most likely.

Yes, he pretty much was

 

[Suoinegni]

I haven't played either of the Pikmen games, so I personally don't like Olimar (but that may change. Olimar might do to me and Pikmen what Marth/Roy did for me and FE), and I'm not going to deny his unique-ness. Although the way the Dojo describes him makes him seem a bit tedious to use for me.

 

[Froilen]

there´s probably not a single person who doesnt know Olimar. He´s that famous.

well... I like him... pikmin was my 1º game cube game , and smash the second... so I feel rely good

 

[KingFirkus]

R u kidding me, I didnt hear or see anything about olimar, only pikmin, which i thought as a possible assist trophy.

You mean Wave Race and Luigi's Mansion? (And something else...)

Pikmin doesn't need anyone to increase it's popularity. Both Pikmin games were critical and financial successes in both Japan and America.
Olimar was one of the more likely newcomers for Brawl (according to Sakurai's popularity poll.)

There was alot for Olimar dude...

I wouldnt say MOST likely but he was up there with Ridley and Geno.

 

[Flaming Dragon Wang]

If you weren't an idiot, you would know that Captain Olimar was one of the most popular candidates for a Brawl newcomer, being frequently suggested to Sakurai and loved by fans.

 

[icymatt]

He was referenced repeatedly on the Japanese comment site in 2006 (as was almost every newcomer shown last year), which is why everyone was expecting him.

My question: if we didn't have Sakurai's comments, how many of the 'obvious' newcomers would have been so obvious (with the exception of Diddy, who was always an obvious choice)?

 

[Flaming Dragon Wang]

Wario, Meta-Knight, and Pit have always been pretty obvious.

 

[KingFirkus]

Other than pokemon trainer i think they all would have gotten mentioned.

 

[Darkpaladin of Chaos]

Yes, i know he has those games, but no one saw him as a potential character in SSBB. I do however believe he could be very powerful.

Um, pardon? Maybe you and your little circle of friends didn't expect him, but anyone with a sense of logic knew he would be included. With 3 votes on the poll (the highest being 5), having multiple allusions on the Dojo with other Pikmin references, being a Miyamoto creation and having a best-selling series, you bet your *** he was pretty f****ing likely.

 

[Zeela12]

He was very well known and popular, also extreamly unique in the way of how Nintendo put him into the game. Who else would you want? bowser jr/Shadow Mario? Lip from Panel de Pon? Sheik from only 1 game? (although pretty possible since it's so popular), you get the point.

 

[Suoinegni]

Pikmin doesn't need anyone to increase it's popularity. Both Pikmin games were critical and financial successes in both Japan and America.
Olimar was one of the more likely newcomers for Brawl (according to Sakurai's popularity poll.)

I wasn't trying to say it like that. First off, I knew what FE was prior to Melee, and secondly, I know that Pikmin was already popular, I'm just saying that Olimar might just make want to actually try the games since Pikmin never interested me before. Sorry for not clarifying earlier.

 

[papagenos]

wow if you think olimar getting in means sakurai's making some crazy roster you are wrong, if anything olimar getting in only means we might have a LESS random roster than melee.

 

[MajinNecro69]

Funny, ALL of my friends were NOT expecting Olimar. They NEVER even thought of him...

I personally am welcoming Olimar. However, since I ham HORRIBLE at "item" management, I probably won't use him. I hope to GOD his Pikmin DO something, otherwise Kirby will won't be able to copy him... >.> <.<

 

[Xanderous]

Yeah, almost everyone assumed Olimar would be in.

 

[icymatt]

They were.

Well, Sonic wasn't.

Actually, what I thought this thread was going to be about was how they used trophies to forecast Olimar's inclusion (look back to the original Trophies update - Bulborb is the ONLY trophy there that wasn't either part of Brawl or from one of the series we already knew was represented)

 

[Bassoonist]

Captain Olimar was essentially a "shoe-in" character. Him being in didn't surprise me or most anyone on this forum at all, I'm sure.

 

[Zombieoficer]

Dude... the reason noone really discussed him was because everyone pretty much thought he was in for sure.

 

[Sprigginz_Caldo]

Captain Olimar isn't exactly obscure....he was a shoe-in for Brawl's roster. But he does demonstrate a new-age play style that will make Brawl all the more unique.

 

[Imsohappy]

man....yall are trippin...no one thought that this dude was in.....just a bunch of ppl hoping he would be........then again when ever ANY new char makes it in you guys always go " I knew he would make it in...it was so obvious" which is f'n bull crap.....man i'm with the TC on this one

 

[Demon Kirby]

Your attempts at sounding gangster have failed.

Olimar was the most likely newcomer not announced, and with him gone, the next most likely is Ridley (yay).

 

[UltimateShinigami]

I agree with the wanna be gangster though. I am FULLY aware of how many people had logical explanations as to why Olimar would be in Brawl, but there is a detailed, logical explanation for every character more than one person hopes for. Sure pikmin was a best-selling game, but we were all in middle school or younger when that game came out and it was one of few choices for the GCN at the time. I always ridiculed my friends for playing such a childish looking game, and people used to use Pikmin as their basis for placing PS2 and Xbox over gamecube. I would say Gamecube is the best and they'd say "it's g4y, what kind of game is pikmin?" I had to shut up after that.

I don't think he was the most likely, and I think he will make an amazing smash character, but when it comes to trying to guess the roster, with all the fanboys who just come to this board to voice their opinions, I've stopped taking anything into consideration.

Every character guess with logical backup always has equal numbers of supporters and bashers so the only real way is to wait and see.

 

[SurooshX]

Yes, i know he has those games, but no one saw him as a potential character in SSBB. I do however believe he could be very powerful.

Uh, actually, there were a TON of people wanting him in the game...just so you know...

 

[Zuby]

I would say Gamecube is the best and they'd say "it's g4y, what kind of game is pikmin?" I had to shut up after that.

It's the most creative, original and innovative game in years.

I bought it when I was 16, in full view of other students from my school, because I thought it was awesome.

You sir, are in need of a spine.

I dont get why people think Olimar is "wtf" or "well omg, if someone like OLIMAR got in, Ashley is a shoe-in!"

Sigh... I just dont get it people, please enlighten me as to why Olimar was such a surprise, and why many of you viewed him as not likely at all.

@ Imsohappy, what the f*ck was that? I knew he was in, dont tell me I didnt, you want me to give my reasons?

 

[Mad555]

Olimar, the most likely!

Now thats a joke. With so many other characters yet to be confirmed, like Ridley, Sheik, etc.

Definately not the most likely.

He was very likely, he was most definitely not a joke
- he has potential
- starred in 2 own games both being very sucessful
- Had 3 votes on Sakuari's Journal
- Has great moveset potential with pikmin
- did I mention he is no joke

 

[Banjodorf]

Are. you. ****.ing.serious?

You cant be serious. You just, you really just cant. If you are, you sir, are one of the most ignorant people Ive ever come across.

Olimar, was one of THE most likely characters, and I mean likely, as in tied with Krystal, Ridley, and even up there with ****ing Ganondorf likely.

Noone left him off a roster they made, even if they despised him, he has a HUGE fanbase, he was created by Miyamoto, Pikmin was one of the defining games of the gamecube, he was the main character.

THIS. IS why 99% of people, the other 1% being ignorant people thought him very, very likely. Plus, he would, and did bring so much originality as a character. There was ABSOLUTELY no reason he wasnt going to be in Brawl.

Also, claiming you havent heard of him, only Pikmin, ements your ignorance. This tells me

1. That you havent played Pikmin. Ever. So who are you to judge it in the first place?

and 2. That before you made this thread, you made no attempt at doing any research on the matter. otherwise you wouldnt have posted this.

I look forward to Purple Pikmin F-smashing people like you on Wifi.
