Kirby and Olimar

[Sputnikk8156]

Since Olimar's standard B is...

<Standard Special Move: Pikmin Pluck>

First uproot a few Pikmin from the ground. You can have up to six Pikmin at one time. As long as there is ground beneath your feet, you can reach down and pull up a Pikmin, but be aware that certain Pikmin are more likely to appear in specific types of flooring.

There are 5 types of Pikmin to use!

- Red Pikmin -

* High attack power
* Attacks imbued with incendiary properties
* Immune to fire

- Yellow Pikmin -

* Range of attack slightly larger than usual;
easy to hit enemies with
* Travel in slight arcs when thrown
* Attacks imbued with electrical properties

- Blue Pikmin -

* Strong when thrown
* Slightly more durable than average

- Purple Pikmin -

* Doesn’t fly far when thrown
* Slow
* High attack power
* Slams into enemies instead of
latching on when thrown

- White Pikmin -

* Quick and light
* When latched onto opponent,
poison does additional damage



This means that all Kirby will do with the Olimar hat, is simply pluck Pikmen out of the ground and have them follow him around. So Kirby can't do anything else with them, they're more of an accessory..idk you guys talk about it.

Maybe Kirby's B move will do other B moves besides the character's standard one for Brawl.

 

[SirPainsalot]

Kirby plucks one out then Kirby can throw it by simply pressing A or whatever your A button is set to. It will then have different effects, depending on the Pikmin. Simple.

 

[Mic_128]

Honestly, plucking out the Pikmin is cool enough for me.

 

[Froilen]

I think... instead of absorving Olimar, he gets the power o the pikmin next to him like an Item... and get the power of "fire, Ice/water, electricity, poison and... HULK?!?!

 

[P-Lock]

I agree. It just makes sense.
And either way, if you can't do anything with them, I'm sure you could atleast use them as some kind of meat shield to take projectiles depending on how fast they follow your movements.

 

[DeChTu]

I almost guarantee Kirby's A attacks will involve Pikmin.

 

[Pieman0920]

Perhaps, unlike Olimar, Kirby will be able to grab the Pikmin like he would an item, and throw them, isntead of being reliant on his side B.

 

[Qbuilderz]

that was my idea too, he plucks them, but his a moves use them because the pikmin are like items exclusive to olimar and kirby.

Or if that dosn't work, they could always act as a sheild to kirby!

 

[walkskyluker115]

Whatever kirby does, it's going to be interesting. The game designers wouldn't be stupid enough to make it useless because he dosen't have olmar's moves.

Either that or the pikmin will start helping kirby by attacking as minions.

No...

But honestly, it isn't a big deal if Kirby has one useless hat. It wasn't what I expected, but since it is easier to pull Pikmin as a standard special than a down special (less buttons), it's worth having a useless Kirby aspect for the sake of making Olimar better and easier to use. I don't think Sakurai will lose too much sleep over the matter.

 

[NeoZ]

It won't be useless, the developers are not that dumb, I guess they will be like a Nana-army.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

When Kirby absorbs Kirby, it's practically useless, so I wouldn't call them stupid if the Pikmin were useless to Kirby.

 

[Camera_Guy]

Finally awake, Maybe Kirby can suck them up to get additional effect like red pikmin does the same thing as the curry.

 

[CommanderGrit]

Kirby can steal another Kirby's hat. But yes absorbing a plain Kirby is useless.

 

[smash superstar]

At first i was thinking they would pick something other than plucking pikmin for his standard B that way kirby got something...but really all hes other b movies require pikmin so tehres not much else to choose from


Im sure the pikmin will efect kirbys standard moves or something i dout there just there to be there....but then again i guess you never know

 

[error_alt_delete]

plucking and having pikmin in its own right is a advantage, why? meat veggie shield.

 

[NeoZ]

Well he absorbs himself, getting Inhale as his neutral B.
While that actually makes sense, Pikmin being useless wouldn't.
Even if they didn't attack, you could turn around and let them block projectiles, and that's not useless(maybe not really useful but not useless).
I guess when we play the game we'll see if it's better to absorb him or just spit him out.

But when he does his taunt, a star doesn't shoot out so he really doesn't copy himself, he just doesn't get anything.

 

[Kinlap]

At least Kirby actually got a new useful hat unlike most of his hats. Kirby gets to the ability to throw stuff at people (not that bad) when he eats Olimar.

 

[Camera_Guy]

Are you sure Kirby can pick them up?

 

[SinisterLizard]

People are too overly concerned with Kirby. Over half of the abilities he gained in Melee were worthless.

Oh and another thing...Isn't it confirmed that Kirby can suck in items? Maybe he can suck in a pikmin and get a fire/electric/water/poison attack or something...

 

[NeoZ]

I'm not sure, I guess it's still unconfirmed.

I like that idea.

 

[ricydafrog]

just a thought but is it entirely out of the question that perhaps the pikmin do minor damage when plucked
otherwise yeah, haveing the pikmin follow you is still pretty cool

 

[fums63]

the pikmin following you likely fight. otherwise, it wouldn't say how reddy is fire powered and how the purple ones strong.

This should explain things.

 

[gsarany]

You throw them at your opponent and depending on what colour they will stick onto the enemy and cause additional damage

Oh wow nevermind didnt know for them to latch on was Olimars side B. Haha my bad. Wow I guess you just throw.

 

[Rikka]

I still wouldn't be surprised if the Pikmin attack enemies that come near by. Not to say it's absolutely going to happen, of course.

Photoshop doesn't answer anything.

Oh jesus, don't be so ignorantly technical. Kirby can't steal anything from another Kirby because he has NOTHING TO STEAL. They're the same. Unless the inhaled Kirby has a hat, to which he DOES steal it, meaning it's not always useless.

So, he can suck up another kirby on rare occasions to actually make use of it. That means that making Kirby's Olimar move useless is indeed unfair.

 

[Pyr0]

Competitive Kirby's rarely use (a considerate amount of times) the special moves they copy.

In fact, the swallow attack is more useful for Kirbycides.

So don't whine about useless copy attacks...

 

[Collective of Bears]

Photoshop doesn't answer anything.

It answers what my standpoint is. Pik-Kirbies.

 

[RedKnight]

50 bucks says that Kirby Olimar plucks one out and HOLDS IT , then he can throw them to have them latch on. Itll basically be changed a little to be like a combo of pikman pluck and pikman throw

 

[Sailyfee]

What I think is that Kirby won't be able to suck Captain Olimar, but maybe all of his current Pikmin. Thus prompting Olimar to pluck out MOAR.

Haha, this one is gonna be hard for Sakurai to work out.

 

[Camera_Guy]

It's not like Olimar's standard B is going to be the deciding factor for Kirby in a match.

 

[burrito]

I think they might just follow kirby around, shield him, and automatically attack opponents.

 

[Camera_Guy]

I'm not sure, the pic with 4 Olimars had them close to each others Pikmin, and the Pikmin looked like they were more preoccupied with following their master than attacking.

 

[ThatOtherGuy]

I don't see how it's any more unfair than Kirby vs. Kirby. If anything, fire immunity is "unfair" since it only affects certain characters, like Mario, Bowser, Charizard, etc.

 

[Camera_Guy]

Fire immunity is fine. It's only the red Pikmin, it's not like someone can stack up their army with only red pikmin (so far), and it's not like Mario, Bowser, & Charizard are completely based around fire damaging attacks.
