alright i was right :D
thanks KayLo for the code!
Latch comes out on frame 9, does its first hit on 26, and every hit after that follows a pattern of one hit every 30 frames. At 0% latch lasts for 269 frames, and decreases by one frame for every percent the opponent has. The lowest it'll get is 69 frames though (two hits)
i'll do the rest of the frame data next i suppose

Pikmin Toss (>B)
Hits on: 9
Ends on: 25
-Pikmin stays latched for 260 frames after latched, decreasing by one frame for each percentage of damage on the opponent, with a minimum of 60 frames. The pikmin deals a latch hit every 30 frames.
Hilt and fino, and all others who worked on this guide, great work! I have some corrections to make about latched pikmin, which is pretty much summarized in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM7wbCg9tX0&feature=player_embedded
Basically you gave a formula for how long a pikmin will stay latched on, but didn't mention that if the person is mashing buttons, the pikmin will fall off much faster (much like being grabbed)
Also the formula for how long the pikmin is attached is wrong.
At 0% if the pikmin will latch on for 260 or 269 frames (depending on which quote you're reading) and attacks every 30 frames, then the pikmin should only hit 8 times, since it will hit on frames:
30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240
But if you actually test it out (see my video) a latched pikmin at 0% will always hit 9 times (if the opponent is not pressing any buttons)
A little bit of more testing by me has shown that even a pikman that latched on at 12% will still hit 9 times! Only at about 13-14% does it drop down to 8 hits. As I don't have a hacked wii, I'll leave it up to you to determine the exact frames, but I'm 99% sure there is an error there. Also you may want to include how much damage each fresh pikmin does in the Pikmin Toss (>B) section. Although its mentioned earlier when you describe the pikmin, if a person is looking just at that move then its tough to connect the two, especially since all the other move descriptions tell you how much each pikmin damages for.
