Olimar Dittos: Code of Honor

So after thought and discussion with a few players, it's come to my attention that Olimar is the only character who doesn't have a legitimately even match-up with himself. As we know, it's in-part determined by the random assortment of Pikmin and whomever got the better luck of the draw (on paper) wins. So, in order to make things as even as possible, I suggest an Olimar ditto code of honor, in which we attempt to make the ditto as even as possible without absurdities like reducing it down to nolimar. The best way I see for this is to play on stages that increase yellow pikmin to decrease the amount of "luck" in the ditto. So, for the stage list we would have

Starter:
Lylat Cruise
Frigate Orpheon
Corneria

Counterpick:
Brinstar
Nofair
Big Blue
75M
Shadow Moses
Banned:
Smashville

Counter/Ban:
Everything Else

As you know, some of these stages are banned; however, in the rules it dictates that is both players agree to the stage then you're free to play on it. So thus I propose this Code of Honor ;o
 

Noa.

Screw the whole list just make the set follow the order of the starters. In the case of a final just repeat the list.

pokemon trainer also doesn't have a necessarily even matchup

^^That

It's like saying Zelda doesn't have an even match-up with herself because she can just change to shiek.

PT isn't a character; squritle is a character... ivysaur is a character.... charizard is a character... but PT is not.

The Olimar match-up is even. Both players go into the match having the same possibility of drawing crappy Pikmin or great ones. Even when they don't, the only ones that are real deciding factors are Purples and Blues. Pikmin die left and right in this match-up to begin with so there is no reason to think you'll ever get stuck with a crappy line. The only code of honor here is the same that goes for everyone else: no surrender, no retreat.

actually, a little piece of information for you, every olimar main has a "chi" that allows them to get more pikmin of one or two colors than what should happen % wise, hilt's chi is yellow/ purple, fino's is blue/purple, mine is red/ white (ugh...white >_>), logic's is definitely yellow, brood is purple/ red, ect., so no olimar dittos are actually even, so, fino and hilt actually win each olimar ditto 60-40, also, no olimar mains can have just a purple "chi"

I think both players should be required to start each stock with different colors.

And no player may pull additional pikman until death.
