Does anyone pay any attention to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When was pikmin 3 confimed and the pikmin could somewhat hold onto olimar during a jump since it appears they do not have the ability to jump in the games this rules should not be broken.
while you may be right, that reasoning is wrong.
(almost) none of the characters in smash have the ability to double jump, yet they all can in smash.
just like size, 100% accurate representation of the abilities allowed in their original series is not important in smash, it's about being that character in spirit.
if it isn't needed for them to jump they shouldn't, but if balance/functionality requires they jump, then chances are they will jump.
again, like kirby, (can you guess who my favorite guy is?) he can't turn into a rock, use a sword or turn into a fireball with out absorbing abilities 1st, but kirby couldn't have much of a move set if he wasn't given these skills as base, and all of them at once (you can only have one at a time), also, kirby has 5 jumps in smash, but unlimited in his games.
one was changed for balance, one for functionality.
i don't know if pikmin need to jump, or if they should.
finally on wiki it says
In an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, the interviewer asked if he planned to do anything with Pikmin. Miyamoto stated that "I certainly don't think we've seen the last of Pikmin," he said. "I definitely would like to do something with them, and I think the Wii interface in particular is very well suited to that franchise."
which i think is what most people are basing that idea off.
as for holding on, yes i read that, and you are most probably right.
