wow, really impressive olimar. You seemed to know the matchups pretty well and you took full advantage of your options.

the only things I would suggest are to save your Bthrow and your Fthrow. I noticed in the marth match that you were using Bthrow simply because you were near the edge of the stage. the chances of you getting a KO just because someone is offstage are very low. Save those throws, that way you can keep them fresh for when you hit high %'s and grab with a blue.

Also, when you are off stage, save your double jump. most of the time when you were off stage you would jump immediately. Try to save it. A lot of people will just get off the ledge after you do your double jump simply because they are reacting to the jump animation, thinking it is upB. if they are still on the ledge, just Nair or Uair them off. if you can Fair or Dair then do it, but I would recommend the nair or Uair because of the longer hitbox frames.

Other than that, like I said I was extremely impressed, you really know your stuff. remember, pivot grabs are oli's best friend. learn how to do stuff outta grab release, it'll really piss off your opponents :p

You'll put a smile on DanGR's face. :laugh:

Excellent work, especially with the grabs (0:58).

At 2:00, nice D-Throw-U-Air combo, but perhaps you could follow this up with a Up-B.

Again, great work.

Very nice Olimar all around man.

I'm diggin the pivotgrabs all around. You really have an amazing reading game as well. You know what your opponents are going to do before they know.

and in the second video at 1:20=win. Also a little later at 1:25, nice use of the DPC>dsmash. (whether you know you used it or not you did. :))

Things to work on:
-Try to use upb more as an attack onstage. It's great for finishing off combos.
-You could try to use a little more fsmash. It's really great for spacing.
-don't use your second jump so quickly! It'll will make you twice as good when you don't do that.

Nothing else really. One of the best Olis I've seen. I'm jealous. :(

you play a very good olimar. here's my two cents:

clean up your pivot grabs -- you whiffed a few in both matches (they should be second nature)

you never used upb offensively once! It is a bizarre and effective hitbox that has multiple, multiple uses. just sh it and then ff back to the ground and it is essentially lagless/unpunishable. Its also lagless if you can land on a platform above you.

maybe its just a playstyle difference but I use my tilts and nair about 10x more than you. Every move has its uses and I try my best not to neglect any--to each man his own though.

while recovering, the only time you should use your second jump early is when you need to stop your horizontal momentum to prevent death. Otherwise save it!

good use of whistle armor and great chaingrab against wolf at 1:20. All in all you play amazingly smooth; I bet people hate playing against your olimar:chuckle: it warms my heart. keep up the good work
