You obviously only watched the one game I posted. That was just an example of what happens when Mario gets momentum in the matchup.No offense to Xero but I think that Olimar was playing the MU poorly. Olimar should NEVER be gimped all 3 stocks. He's gotta get that Brood DI.
True. Might have just been an off game for him.You obviously only watched the one game I posted. That was just an example of what happens when Mario gets momentum in the matchup.
ThisMd/va marios ftw....
I like getting information across. The ratio is not the most important thing.I think matchup discussions are mega-dumb. I know what's up when I go into a match. My matchup ratio: feck I hate this character.
Fixed.A2 cannot seriously think mario beats olimar. lol
u mad, son?man people beating me to it![]()
I believe the word you are looking for is "plain".loll oli is easy plane and simple
You highly underestimate Olimar. It's not hard to get through fireball camping. He can easily shield them and have little problems with fireballs and pikmin throw is much faster than fireballs. Olimar will not have trouble getting back a percent lead because pikmin can normally deal some damage. He can also punish dair and cape. They aren't hard to punish, especially if it's not meant to hit Olimar (I'm begging you to counter this statement).Kanzaki, you can stop being a **** and actually try the stuff that I KNOW works from actually using it.
And you also don't read in between lines when I say what Olimar's options are. He can't camp in this matchup. He approaches and pressures Mario.
Both you and Inferno should watch all three matches of Xero vs Hilt (particularly the 3rd match) and Hilt gets punished a lot more for trying to camp and run away from Mario. Mario's camping easily beats Olimar's due to Mario's tools to avoid it. If Mario happens to get the percent lead, it's also difficult for Olimar to get it back when Mario happens to outmaneuver Olimar and has the tools to deflect and avoid all attempts Olimar makes to toss Pikmin through D-air and Cape. Especially if the stage has platforms, Olimar has no business trying to outcamp Mario, who WILL get in if Olimar is on the defensive, or will get away if he merely needs to maintain the lead.
I'm starting to wonder if you know what you're talking about. Olimar has one of the best if not the best grab game in the game. I wanna repeat the point that baiting an approach and then run away and pivot grab works on Mario as well as on the rest of the cast with but that doesn't get through to you. And fireballs in no way stop this.What Hilt should have done vs Xero was approach and space aerials and tilts, which is what ACTUALLY gives Olimar the advantage in this matchup. In all situations where Hilt was doing well, he had Xero on the defensive and wasn't running away camping. Olimar gets punished hard for trying to run away and camp in this matchup and he isn't able to bait Mario's approach with pivot grab very easily when fireballs will usually stop it.
I'm not defensive. I just use a lot of fireballs and bair for approaches and ****. It's my playstyle. Also with ditto talk dittos don't count for anything.I hate playing campy/defensive marios -_-. marios like famous/tc1/kirin/boss are fun to play though![]()
im sad at that one moment, i sat with you, but we was just chilling watching projector, lmao hahaI hate playing campy/defensive marios -_-. marios like famous/tc1/kirin/boss are fun to play though![]()
</3 What about MY MARIOI hate playing campy/defensive marios -_-. marios like famous/tc1/kirin/boss are fun to play though![]()
What are Olimar's options against fullhop D-air? His U-air and Up-B certainly can beat it, but Mario outmaneuvers Olimar very easily, so in reality he has no business punishing Mario for playing keepaway on platformed stages, and his Up-B which I mentioned happens to be very obvious. (it's worth knowing U-air can be SDI punished) Cape technically is more punishable in this matchup, but if you're letting anyone consistently punish you for Caping, you're doing it horribly wrong. Pikmin throwing has telegraphed enough startup to counter on reaction. I have no trouble running away and maintaining a lead if I have one.You highly underestimate Olimar. It's not hard to get through fireball camping. He can easily shield them and have little problems with fireballs and pikmin throw is much faster than fireballs.

You fireball, and he grabs you, and the fireball hits him, and you break out. Olimar pivot grabbing is asking to get fireball camped. He can only pivot grab as a juggle trap. Watch Xero vs Hilt 3 and everything I mentioned happens like a million times. Hilt really only lands pivot grabs as a means of juggle trapping and virtually every time he tries to use it to stop Xero from approaching, it fails.I'm starting to wonder if you know what you're talking about. Olimar has one of the best if not the best grab game in the game. I wanna repeat the point that baiting an approach and then run away and pivot grab works on Mario as well as on the rest of the cast with but that doesn't get through to you. And fireballs in no way stop this.
You know that's a very ironic statement you are making. I'm perfectly capable of admitting when I'm wrong when I believe I am as well. I was definitely wrong when I assumed Mario went neutral with Falco and Pikachu (which I definitely made big posts about in the past). And I've probably said I was wrong about this on AIM first but basically it was about how Ness and Lucas actually have options unlike other low tiers. Furthermore I was wrong when I thought Ganon actually had a chance against Mario, when in reality it was just me having better knowledge of the matchup than other Mario users (I believe I beat Hippiedude in this matchup irl though).Personally, I wanna stop this debate because you are one of those people who has an "I'm always right" mentality when it comes to this which I know is wrong. I admit when I am wrong when I believe I am but I've never seen you ever say you're wrong. For example, you think that G&W goes even or might beat Snake. I know that's wrong just with very general knowledge of both character.
