So every now and then I like to make one of these, just general stuff that I think of
-Embrace the offensive decision. Holy ****, this has been so helpful for me. Seriously, I cannot express to you all enough how much of a breakthrough this has been for me. With Olimar it's easy to get scared because we lack priority, and once people get really close it's hard to get them out of our zone. I've found that instead of shielding, rolling, or spotdodging, sometimes it's better just to try to sneak in a smash attack (fsmash has been doing the trick). I've been dodging a lot less and attacking more, and I've found that I can hit people in situations I never thought they'd get hit in
-Nair. Let's talk about nair. The move autocancels beautifully when you shorthop-fastfall it, and is like a moving uptilt. Perfect for retreating and has a slightly deceiving hitbox. Not to mention it combos. Yay nair.
-Fsmash stuff: Man this might be the best move ever. I noticed though, it's better to fsmash somewhat earlier than we think. Too often people have been able to run in and roll behind, sidestep, or powershield, and they get through. So I just fsmash earlier now.
-Jump-land-usmash. I've been scoring KOs like this a lot. Just jump at them to scare them, then run to the spot they are landing and usmash. If you don't think you can get there just grab because they will probably shield.
-Jump sideB-DI back-grab. Too many of you commit to nairing someone's shield when you jump and sideB. The shield is like a magnet which tries to suck you into badness so resist that and land away.
Heh that's pretty much it I guess. Oh dashing away and seeing what they do is pretty helpful.
Honestly, that first thing I listed has really contributed to how well I've been playing lately. Just attack more. Olimar is actually scary as **** up close haha
Edit: LOL almost forgot, dsmashing on a platform is ****
