Olimar Support [Pikmen]

[Trophyhunter]

See then people would be all worked up so I guess red pikmen are immune to fire from what they said on the dojo.

 

[Qbuilderz]

but it balances out, pikachu has basically THE ONLY electric attacks, so thats unfair, but bowser, mario, even zelda have fire attacks, so it is move spread out.

 

[Camera_Guy]

I'm curious, why can the Red burn people and what is the advantage of "fire damage."

EDIT: as to regular damage.

 

[the_Capt_Falcon_Master]

i took the description to mean that yellow would have electric effect to its attacks, red would have firey effect, blue would have no effect, white would have poison effect, and purple would have much more powerful attacks. I dont remember seeing anything about individual pikmin being imune to certain attacks.

 

[Qbuilderz]

it says RIGHT on the front page

High attack power
Attacks imbued with incendiary properties
Immune to fire

for red pikmin

You make Lucas, Samus, and Zamus sad.

 

[Qbuilderz]

dam* forgot about them, wait what does samus have> that lazer cannon thing?

 

[L_Cancel]

Yeah... I guess the yellow pikmin might be too overpowered if they were immune to electricity... I mean they already have an impressive list of abilities:

"Range of attack slightly larger than usual;
easy to hit enemies with
Travel in slight arcs when thrown
Attacks imbued with electrical properties "

Ok I'll share my toughts
but before for the ones asking about the flowers, In the game the pikmin start having a leave, then a "bulb" (sorry for any mistake English is not my main) and then a Flower, they change over the time so i think in smash it will be the same I your pikmin survives enough time they will get the flower...
Pikmin with flowers are Faster, Stronger, etc...

I think you can throw pikmin with Standar Attack (A) like Items but makes me doubt about side A ...
or at least Other characters can? what do you think?
I think the purple pikmin will be like bonsly (you can throw it for massive damage but short ranged)
The guy who said that yellow pikmin could carry bombs (note: not bob-ombs) is a genious
why? because in the game Y.Pikmin can carry bombs so it sounds logical...
I wonder if Olimar's taunt will be affected by Having/lacking pikmins..

If you have any questions about Pikmin games ask me... I woul like to see what do you think

Edit: Speculating about his FSmash ... In pikmin 2 there were items called Sprays, 2 types Purple and Pink. The purple petrifies the enemy and the pink gives your pikmin a Power Boost... So I think The FSmash of Olimar could be the Sprays.. used both together...
(note: if sprays are used on enemy pikmin they will get buried , this could happen in brawl too )

Sorry if any of this points is repeated i've just found this thread and already has 100 pgs

 

[supersonicdjs]

If Kirby sucks up a pikmin, will Olimar be sucked up too? What would a Pikmin's B move be?

And if Kirby sucks up Olimar, would Kirby have new Pikimn? Because If the costume is thrown away, what happens to the Pikmin? They rip their skin off?

 

[Qbuilderz]

whatever the case, oplimar beats the crap out of most other characters (in my opinion, i would have siad ALL other chartacters, but everyone is entitled to there own opinion)

 

[YOSHIDO]

I love the fact that pikmin are in. I forgot all about them. How do yall think pikmin's death will work. We got a clip of them attacking diddy kong. But if its just like the game. Then all diddy kong will have to do is a couple of smash attacks. then they will die. What I was wondering is can captain olmar call them off of someone and back to his side. And repeat. But wow, im loving brawl. So many fun characters.

Nah, I think everyone who's posting here is prettymuch a hardcore Olimar player.

 

[jmdm78]

I think pikim would die quite easily ...
and also think olimar can pluck them out quickly because of that..

and about kirby i think pikmin alone would act like items so if kirby swallows one, the pikmin would appear in his hand as if he has grabed an item... and the he can throw it
and if he swallows olimar he can pluck pikmins from the ground..

 

[L_Cancel]

Whoa! I just thought of something. What if Wario can eat pikmin with that bite move of his. Then spit them out as those evil mushroom pikmin from the first game. That nasty garlic breath should mutate the pikmin it seems.

 

[Qbuilderz]

i just had to XD

 

[Mattnumbers]

I think that the red ones are the only ones with any immunity, although I wonder if Ike's fire sword attacks count, I mean even if the pikmin is immune to fire its not immune to being cut in half.

 

[Qbuilderz]

depends how the move is classified, maybe only projectiles that are fire and the fire flower are uneffective to the pikmin

 

[jmdm78]

just a random tought If Luigi has te Poltergeist he could Absorb the Pikmin Ghosts! or even better absorb pikmin...alive... then fire Fire,Water,Etc.. Don't go mad just a Funny Idea

 

[Qbuilderz]

that be lol material

 

[chrisdude25]

i hope luigi gets poltergeist since mario got the fludd.... and the elemental pikmin ghosts would just bring more power to luigi's aresenal.

since the purple pikmin don't necessarily have an element, maybe they would make the poltergeist heavier, slowing down luigi, but providing for a large rock-shotgun blast...

i.e. a shotgun spread but with rocks

Ya Luigi's vacuum can act just like Kirby's B with items.

 

[IllidR]

How does this Luigi talk infiltrate the Olimar sanctum! Blasphemy I say

This thread is moving too fast for me to keep up. >.>!

 

[assassinX105]

how did we go from olimar is awesome to talk of luigi's poltergeist?

 

[Colenstien]

Keep talking about Luigi,

I dare you.

Olimar is teh Brawlz!

 

[Smash Ninja]

I lolled at that

But yeah, anyways, what do you guys think about P&O's grabs?

I think the Pikmin will hold their opponents above their heads like they did with dead enemies/items in the Pimin games. They would be able to walk around like DK and would be able to suicide off the edge without Olimar losing a stock!

That'd be pretty cool.
Also when you hit them during the grab, Pikmin latch on taking immediate damage.

Yeah, nice idea!

Their down throw could be the Pikmin pinning the enemy on the ground and beating them up on the ground XD

Plus, upthrow could be just a regular upthrow, but Olimar launches the Pikmin vertically at rapid succession so they latchon and make the opponent fastfall straight back down to Olimar for more beatings!!!!

Does anybody hear god character anywhere?

The Pikmin start to carry DK

DK: You know, from the other end of this it's quite annoying.

 

[motsalogeL]

But Luigi's down B was so much better than Mario's it would be a shame to remove it, but then again he likely isn't going to be a clone anymore.

 

[Smash Ninja]

I heard god character on Wednesday! XD

But yeah, anyway, I think Oli's grab/throws should be exceptionally good to make up for some weaker attacks (tilts, neutral combos) and occassional vunerability.

But even though he does have these weaknesses, I do still think he has enough strengths and mindgame potential to be a really good character!

He's definately MY main!

Funniest thing ive heard on this site for a while!!!!

Ooops, double-post...
Sorry...

Oh no you di'int. Where's my boom stick. Looks like Ima haf to put someone down.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Now, I'm not implying that this gentleman is a prophet or anything of that nature. Not in the least. But take a look at Vali's moveset for Olimar and then the one on the Dojo.

http://smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=2409228&postcount=354

Compare the two. Freakish coincidence, eh? Granted, it's not EXACTLY the same but it is pretty **** close. I always thought that, if Olimar and his Pikmin buddies got in, I envisioned their moveset to be just like what Vali described. Sakurai and Company must be a group of powerful telepaths or some ****. They ripped the idea from his brain!

On topic:

Colenstein, that would be just wrong. Seriously. If that were P&O's throw, I'd constantly be looking over my shoulder (or at my feet) for multicolored gremlins out for their cut of the cash that they loaned me.

I agree with the bit about Vali. I guess they were both trying to stay as true to the series as possible.

And, er... I thought of that throw (he quoted me)... but no matter, I dont mind. 'Tis OK.

Go talk about this in some Luigi topic, get on outta here, city slicker.

Btw, that moveset I'm checking out and comparing.
It shouldn't mean anything.
Everybody saw this kind of moveset coming anyways.

Lol!!!! That first part made me laugh quite a bit! That picture is so funny XD

Anyways, I agree, anyone who thought otherwise must have known that it was going to be this way, and this way only.
Although at first I did have a different idea for his moveset... it was more attack-based, nd each attack used different pikmin... but after a while, I realised that this was the ONLY way for Olimar!

No, no, no, no. I'm not trying to make some sorta cryptic allusion or anything like that, Noob. It's just...freakishly coincidental. That's all. Vali's about as psychic as the main character from Psyche---and if you watch that show, you'll know that he's far from clairvoyant and has the stupidest luck in all of the world.

The movesets didnt seem that similar to me, he had the rocket as B^, pluck as Bv (We all did) and whistle as B. You might not be looking at which B direction they were on though, and more at what moves he chose. Eithr way.
