Sorry bud, but it had nothing to do with your pikmin. The Marth just hit that wierd spot on the edge that cancels all momentum, that's why he was able to Up-B again after already using it.

If your pikmin had edgeguarded, he would've just been in freefall, savvy?

loool im pretty sure it had something to do with the pikmin 'The Marth just hit that wierd spot on the edge that cancels all momentum,' this is fail. I have seen 13435234534 marth doing up-b and nothing ever happened like that before so like i said im sure it was the pikmin. Im not sure why he could use his up-b but he didnt touch the ledge either so it just a glitch.

couldent marth just have avioded the sweet spot (since he wasent in freefall) theres several ways that you can miss the sweet spot, bmoves for one, fastfalling etc.

Yellow Pikmin can be very territorial.

It does look like the yellow pikmin did something to his up+b, but this is easy to test out, just test it and we will know Maby the pikmin has to be on a certain part of his body.

Well... he wasn't doing any moves, and it doesn't look like he was fastfalling, so I don't see how he could have missed it. It's possible though, I suppose.

*shrug* think what you want. Nearly every character in the game can hit that spot, some easier than others. I'm sure the Wolf boards can tell you all about it. It has ALL the characteristics of that spot.

1. Marth is at the right height.
2. His Up-B animation doesn't finish.
3. He immediately falls straight down, past the ledge.
4. He immediately regains use of his Up-B.

I realize how good a discovery this would be for the Olimar boards, and for all I know, having a pikmin on you increases your likelihood of hitting that spot, so by all means run with it, you might find something. I'm just saying that as of right now, the logical explanation is that it had nothing to do with the pikmin.


EDIT: I just went and tested it. Even with various coloured Pikmin clanging away on various parts of his body, Marth is able to recover fine. It would have been an awesome discovery Zori, but it just doesn't look like it lines up.

Ok come on. The yellow Pikmin, as much as some of you may have wanted him to, did not do anything.

Yep. First time I saw the video i had a huh look on my face. The second time i din't because I realized the yellow pikmin had nothing to do with it. Probably because you found it out, and in the heat of the match you thoguht it was something like new. But to ME it seems like the Yellow Pikmin didn't do much.
