Olimar Secondaries

[peeup]

I have to assume that, although Olimar pwnz, he has several 'counter-characters' that have the upper-hand in a fight. I don't really want a list of who those characters are (although that would be helpful), but I would like to know what characters counter Olimar's counters. I have been looking for a secondary (and maybe even a terciary) for quite some time now, but I want to know who I should spend my time with incase I encounter an Olimar counter.

In short, who counters Olimar's counters?

Pit: all except MK
Rob: all except MK and maybe kirby
Kirby: all except MK
ZSS: rob and wolf are toughies, +MK

Lol thats a drag, I hate all of those chars. I guess I'll just go with ROB.

Good thing nearly everyone uses MK.
I'd say instead of the basic counters, go for Marth. His air moves are a bit like Olimar, especially his side airs. Though, he does beat MK (as far as my limitied matchups go, I believe larger reach by twice the length is better than half of it.)

My secondaries are Lucario and Peach. Lucario does OK against MK, and Peach is just a fun character..

 

[Olimarman]

I just skip the fear of playing Mks by having Mk as my secondary. If you play a good Olimar you still may be ok against Mk, just minimize the time your in the air.

Vs MK just spam grab, there's quite a few videos of Shrink(Olimar) vs R1ngo(MK), so many grabs it's painful haha.

God I'v been dabbling in literally every character, but I'd say my strongest secondaries are Sonic, Diddy, err been working on Wario, yeah.

I use lucas also.

 

[DanGR]

Wario is also a good secondary. He's vastly underrated too. If you really have problems with MK, just use Snake. Everyone does it! HA! d(^_^)b

P.s. jk, don't use that cheat.

 

[Noraa]

^^ haha dangr i like how you said using snake is a cheat =X i completly agree

 

[Dionysus]

i personally like to use Dk, his tilts outrange MK, his huge horizontal recovery makes him somewhat hard to gimp since MK lacks a spike and he can take loads of punishment while being able to kill MK at anything >50%

I've recently picked up on seconding Falco. His SHDL and Reflector moves give you something different to work with, while his Chaingrab still gives you the Olimar feeling.

After some research I decided that Falco or Marth would be great counter picks... though that was only out of a list of characters that i could bear playing. lol. They are fun though, but I still like Olimar the best. Anyways, marth is good if you really want to pick one up fast, I think Marth and Olimar are INCREDIBLY close to each other.
