Louie's Notes-Olimar Q&A Thread!!

[Dnyce]

Yeah because I'd actually do that ;P

I'm talking about me not you (h)

I actually read something similar about being able to b-reverse with the c-stick... while still having the c-stick set to smash... but I don't think the mechanics will work the same for grabbing since most people dacus a similar way =/

*is still confused at what you're saying*

 

[DtJ Hilt]

I'm as confused as you are, after that.

 

[Cook]

As if doing a smash=hitting the buttons at the same time, like how you hit a+direction at the same time to do a smash attack.

 

[Dajayman]

I'm still confused...

 

[Blissard]

But I understand. And that's all that matters.

Also...can you usmash oos without tap jump? I now feel insanely dumb for asking, but I've never done it before, lol.

Yes. You hit the jump button, then slide your finger to A at the same time you smash the control stick up

 

[Dajayman]

Or you can just press whatever you use for jump and up on the cstick immediately. But I always keep tap jump on anyways, so all I have to do is press up and up on the cstick. It's so easy.

 

[Slain Avenger]

But then you can't Instant Return, I learned that the hard way :/

 

[DtJ Hilt]

or tarzan

 

[Slain Avenger]

What's a tarzan... :3?

 

[Dajayman]

What's a tarzan? Tell me Hilt, I'm dying to know!!!

 

[Blissard]

Vocal understands.

cstick

Dajayman does not understand.

What's a tarzan... :3?

>Tarzaning over "Battlefield"

 

[Dajayman]

I understand all... except tarzan.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

Tarzaning is using the swing from pikmin chain to sling Olimar up through stages with transparent floors, such as Brinstar, the moving part of Delfino, or hte Moving part of Halberd. You pikmin chain at the farthest distance you can from the ledge, and as soon as you reach around the bottom and start to go up towards the stage, you tap down to break the chain and immediately jump and you can pop up through the middle of the stage. If you do it really well, you can actually tarzan to the other side below the stage and use another chain to tether to the other ledge, lol. But its best use is in popping up through the center. The reason you can't do it with tap jump on is because you'll, most of the time, use your second jump up when you first tether to the ledge, and if you don't have your second jump and you try to tarzan, you just die.

 

[Slain Avenger]

Oh yeah, I like to use this in halberd, but I kinda just like swing and Tether again under the middle of the stage cause it puts you in a standing position without lag and confuses your opponent since they think you're going back to the ledge

 

[Dajayman]

But it's not that hard to slightly tilt up on your control stick to perform an upb...

Also I'd like to see a vid of tarzaning if there is one, I want to see it in action. :3

 

[Zori]

vidz or it didnt happen

 

[Dajayman]

^ Agreed.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

Alright, I don't have anything to record a video with but I'll get on it I guess. Don't tell me you didn't know about it though, Zori. X:

 

[Zori]

i know about to but i have never seen it

 

[wh1te5had0w]

What would be a good secondary character to learn with Olimar?

I will never learn MK..... ever (too lame).

 

[Dajayman]

Charizard.

Just listen to your heart, your heart will guide you to who it wants you to secondary.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

What characters are you wanting a counter for and what characters are you interested in? This is more of a personal question because you shouldn't try to seriously play a character you don't really like.

Louie.



But for a real answer ask Hilt's question. There are a couple options so it depends on who you'd like to deal with.

 

[Jane]

basically, your next best option since you dont want to use meta knight is marth. lol

 

[Dnyce]

I remember when people in KC used to say that (including myself)... ohhh they good ole days.

L

all but one of us actually kept to our word XD

 

[Dajayman]

Marth sucks...

 

[Jane]

yeah he does, i hate him lol. but theres no denying you should choose him if you wanna go easy mode

 

[Dajayman]

I meant that Marth is an awful character.

 

[-Vocal-]

I meant that Marth is an awful character.

You are wrong. He is easy to use improperly due to the seemingly simplicity of his playstyle, but when played with the same attention to detail and precision that is required of other character he can be quite lethal and effective.

 

[wh1te5had0w]

I'm just finding it hard to beat ice climbers and MK.


edit:

and marth .... sigh

 

[D Who?]

Can someone tell me how to get out of falco's CG in a PM please? Its the only reason I can't beat good Falcos in Florida

 

[DtJ Hilt]

Platform camp until you're at 20%. Eat lasers on purpose if you have to.

 

[clowsui]

Actually, Hilt, have we tested boost grab CG starting at 20?

 

[DtJ Hilt]

Platform camp until you're at 25%. Eat lasers on purpose if you have to.

 

[Dajayman]

What if you're on FD?! Then you're f***ed!!!

 

[DtJ Hilt]

Act like he's the Ice Climbers until you get to 25%. Run the hell away.

 

[Dajayman]

But FD has no platforms. No where to run!!!

 

[Slain Avenger]

Ledge camp a lot and learn how to Instant return to counter falco's stuff. That's how you play him on FD D:

troll

 

[DtJ Hilt]

No don't ledge camp, lol. Just make sure you aren't standing next to him for more than a second. It's not that hard, Dajay's just trolling.
