Want challenges that may improve your playing as Olimar? Well here's a few ideas!

Give me some ideas and I'll tack them on!

Challenges
The Boxob Challenge
"Originally Posted by Boxob"
"I can't even believe it, Olimar is the best character in the game. End of story.

All you have to do is grab. Just grab, that's it. What about killing? Oh don't worry, his grabs kill too."

Novice -
Defeat 1 Opponent with only Grabs. You are permitted to use Aerials for DI, Pummeling, and Whistle. You may use Up-B to Recover, but you may not use it to attack.

Intermediate -
Defeat 3 different Opponents (player, not character) with Only Grabs. You are permitted to use Aerials for DI, Pummeling, and Whistle. You may use Up-B to Recover, but you may not use it to attack.

Master -
Defeat 5 different Opponents (player, not character) with Only Grabs. You are permitted to use Aerials for DI, Pummeling, and Whistle. You may use Up-B to Recover, but you may not use it to attack.


Hint: Try not to stale fthrow/bthrow much, make sure to pummel to unstale grabs. Use down-B to survive longer.

Helps: Spacing for grabs, learning to not stale certain throws, reminds you to pummel :p


My Best Friend

Novice -
Defeat 1 Opponent using only 1 Pikmin. When you begin the match, throw two pikmin off the stage, then fight. All moves allowed, you may not attack if you have 2 pikmin out. You must throw the extra Pikmin off stage before resuming fighting.

Intermediate -
Defeat 3 Opponents using only 1 Pikmin. When you begin the match, throw two pikmin off the stage, then fight. All moves allowed, you may not attack if you have 2 pikmin out. You must throw the extra Pikmin off stage before resuming fighting.

Master -
Defeat 5 Opponents using only 1 Pikmin. When you begin the match, throw two pikmin off the stage, then fight. All moves allowed, you may not attack if you have 2 pikmin out. You must throw the extra Pikmin off stage before resuming fighting.

Hint: Throw your pikmin off and pluck one, use nair and tilts until you get a desired pikmin. Try to get a blue pikmin if you plan to KO with throws, and a purple if you are planning on a usmash.

Helps: Playing safer, learning correct spacing, using tilts and nair more often, planning moves out far in advance (including planning which pikmin color to start with!)


I'm a Survivor!

Novice -
Win a match with over 200%.

Intermediate -
Win a match with over 250%

Master -
Win a match with over 300%!

Hint: Use Down-B to avoid kill moves.
Note: When you win, you must be on the stock with the "over x%".

Helps: Using down-B SA frames to survive, it's good timing practice.

i don't think he's talking about in tourney so why not give it a try at a smashfest or something

it seems as though it could be beneficial for some olimar scrubs to get these down, such as timing, spacing, and pikmin order

Completely talking about Friendlies for this......... <.<... obviously don't do this in tourney... rofl


@menk
Nolimar is overdone. =p

@zori
Loosen up a bit, "I'm a Survivor!" is actually really fun to do vs opponents like Ike who can't KO you with basically.... anything that you can down-B -_- he has no multi hit moves except possibly uair, and jab.... and you can down-B past both of those I believe.

If I'm about to 2 or 3 stock someone in friendlies and they haven't jumped off the stage already, then sometimes I'll use nothing but pikmin throw and the whistle to see how much damage I can get onto them and me until I die... It's hilarious until they catch on to what you're doing. >_>

I already did all of them, but I like the idea of coming up with more stuff.
It is better if you can get the quotes from people like Challenge #1.

Or am I saying I like it because I like doing 'Missions' too much?

Dissidia was released and I am playing it.

Ah.. On topic, which Olimar's are hard to do.
....

Do innovative 'combos'?
Dthrow, dair, techchase, nair, dsmash?

I can't imagine how long it would take to defeat an opponent with only grabs without having an attack following it...

Sort of. Dair has a lingering hitbox so you can catch them out of the airdodge. It won't spike, though, so you probably won't get to the techchase bit. You could wait and bait the airdodge and then dair, but you have like 3 other better options so it's kind of pointless. That's way that would be "innovative" and isn't actually ever used.

On topic: hmm, i probs do the first challenge subconciously in some matches. How bout only attacking with arials, it will help with things like approaching and spacing which most olimar beginners desperately need as they try to hide behind a wall of pikmin whereas it would be beneficial to mix the play up.

Off topic:
this is just a test, I'll be going through a couple more and ultimately ending up with one with a similar (olimar head on bodybuilder) motif, but 1000x better due to my new skillz0rz
lol, cant wait to see it. I swear its impossible to pull of a 'cool' pikmin sig. If you look at other boards, you see people with very stylish sigs like samus and lucario, but olimar has to stick with gimmicky sigs. This is a sig ive quickly tried to put together in the last 20 mins, basic and olimar themed (slightly lol). I cant think of a way to incoorporate olimar into a sig at all:(

Olimar is in fact, not gay.
He has a wife and children.

Also, you used your sentence in possessive form. It should be; Olimar is gay.

Oh, I just remembered you are a Sonic main.
All the good sonics I can think of are black some reason.
I should have known. xD
BTW:Being serious about good sonics are black. Same with Mario.

Oh I know, I'm white though, really really white.

A lot of Sonic mainers are black, I actually have my own theory as to why.

Sonic's a different color than all the rest of the liked community, he's constantly portrayed as the bad guy to the general public.

He runs fast.

He can't swim.
