Moveset (Insane?)

[The Hypnotist]

All of his B Moves will be USEFUL!

 

[Master WGS]

Jot me down as incredibly nervous about Olimar's potential. It'll really depend on how fast he can pluck out the pikmin, and how durable they are. He'll be no good if either things aren't done correctly...

 

[ThatOtherGuy]

His normal B is Pikmin, so now Kirby can pluck them...and do what?

Also, I was wrong in some thread about no immunities, but there's only one, so that's not too complicated.

Also, he can have more than 5, apparently. Magnificent.

 

[chaos_Leader]

wait a second, take a look at the \/B:

Note how the pikmin stand; around Olimar. If this move can be pulled off quick enough, it may have some defensive properties ala pikmin meat-shield.

@ all the pessimists: remember who is making Brawl: persnickety Japanese smashers, if anyone can make Olimar & pikmin work, its them.

 

[Maben]

If the Pikmin don't die too easily then he'll do alright. But if he has to constantly pluck out new ones and/or call them back cause they somehow aren't following him anymore than it's just gonna suck.

On the other hand, it looks extremely annoying (like Peach's turnips x10) to get those things constantly thrown at you and ticking % away.

Also, when exactly are you expected to just sit back and organize your Pikmin, lol? It seems like a lot of times the battle would be too hectic to focus on which Pikmin you have coming up, I mean I could see vaguely planning what to do with the next two, but like how do you plan a big hit with that purple one you got in the back? Do you just chuck the beginning ones willy-nilly until you get the kind you need?

 

[Camera_Guy]

Already beat ya to it.

Dang!

Seriously tho, Olimar is too dependant on the Pikmin for his attacks. If he has none, he loses nearly half his move set.

Thats Olimar! But I wouldn't consider him bad, we haven't even played as him yet.

Ike didn't seem slow in the pictures, but geez people were purprised. So, lets wait and see.

Correction: Veggie-shield

EDIT: Crap D-post, sorry

 

[Nicktendo]

Yeah its insane. Insanely awesome!

He looks like he pulls pikmin rapidly

 

[chaos_Leader]

^ now that I notice that there are two pikmin still in the air, he must be able to pull out the little buggers pretty quickly.

 

[Camera_Guy]

Just like how he did in the game.

I agree. I am going to wait and see. I'll try Olimar when it comes out too, just to see how he plays.

 

[solrac_krad]

He seems to be able to get the pikmin out very fast (two pikmin in the air and still pulling one out in a dojo pic), just my guess.
Cants stand how people say he is lame and they havent still played the game

 

[Ca$hoholic]

I only would change B and down B because of kirby doesnt need alot of pikmin after himself when he sucks then up.
But i knew the up B That was exactly what i wanted :D

Myself, i like this guy even better now xD

 

[Pluvia's other account]

I still really like Olimar, infact, I just plain love Olimar.

 

[sfxfly]

Is it me or do you think max 6 pikmin on the field is way too little? So lets say Olimar chucks all 6 buggers at Bowser. Is he just supposed to sit back and relax, being completely vunerable to the rest of the players since he has no pikmin for protection?

 

[Ca$hoholic]

best maybe just throw 5... but its correct it far to few...

1st of all why would you purposely leave yourself defenseless? Unless your being stupid on purpose? I really don't think tossing all 6 of your Pikimin at one character is going to be needed.

It is if your fast to run

 

[The_Marth_Madness]

Lol.. just a thought, but he looks like the only character to retreat "projectile" spam since turnaround n-B is no longer possible.

 

[Cranberry Rogue]

It looks to me like you're going to need to think on your toes if you want to play as Olimar. I mean, do you use your Pikmin to attack, or do you save them for recovery? Do you shuffle a Purple Pikmin to the front of the line and move in for the kill, or stay far back and pelt your enemy with your Yellows? There's no doubt that he'll be fun to play as, but from the looks of it, it seems as though it's going to take a special kind of player in order to utilize his inconsistent moveset. I say inconsistent because it looks like you could be pummeling your opponent one minute, and take a serious beating the next, depending on how well you are able to manage your army's flow.

 

[error_alt_delete]

I think his move set is insane, it is perfect for him! I cant wait to main him!

BTW-6 pimin isnt too little, if you are in a 4 way battle then you know that throwing all of them at once is a bad idea.(unless you lack common sense)

 

[Noypi_GjD]

The whole order thing to me reminds me of Baten Kaitos type fighting hahah, assuming that he moves fast and he plucks pikmin out fast can make him quite a viable character in competitive matches. His style is interesting but it looks like he will be better in 1v1 rather than FFA/4v4.
