Hey Guys,
Going into a tournament this weekend with my new partner who's an Olimar main. I second MK, and have encouraged him to pick up Pika so we can mix things up a bit, but in the mean time I've been scouring the forum for info on partnering with Olimar. So far I've managed to catch 3 or 4 full sets of Alphicans and Tinman teaming, as well as some combo videos by some others on this Forum (Dave I think was the GW's name?). These have all been helpful, but I thought I could ask for some help further help from you guys on this topic.
From what I gather, smashing at a safe distance, comboing out of grabs, and getting GW to cover the air while Oli takes the ground are some of the more important tactics. Practicing saving Oli with Uair and UpB are obviously essential too.
My questions beyond team tactics so far are as follows : What would you consider to be the best stages and worst stages for this team ? What would be our worst matchups, and what would be our best ? Are there any matchups we should absolutely avoid ?
Since I decided to label this a discussion thread, I'd also just like to hear your guys opinion on this team (I know there have been polls, but there isn't a ton of discussion on this since Revival of Salt, so maybe there are changed opinions).
Oh and while my questions aren't team tactics based, please don't hesitate to throw ideas out there for potential team combos, stage shenanigans, etc.
Thanks All !!! :D
