Well they could always assign different flowers to people... P1: Bloomed Flower P2: Bud P3: Leaf P4: nothing.

Awesome! An Olimar thread that does not suck utterly. The best Nintendo character OF ALL TIME (yes, you heard correctly) deserves nothing less. Well done Egruntz.
Here's a question I've been struggling with lately: if more than one player is using Olimar, how do you know which Pikmin belongs to whom? Will players be forced to use a single coloured Pikmin based on their costume colour, or will can any Pikmin simply be tossed/ordered by any Olimar in the battle?
That's actually a good point.Well they could always assign different flowers to people... P1: Bloomed Flower P2: Bud P3: Leaf P4: nothing.
No, they'd still have unique traits, and they'd look different, but their colors wouldn't be different within each character set. I'm saying it's a possibility. I'd think the tops of of the Pikmin being the only distinguishing characteristic would be about as helpful as no differences at all...but that takes away from the unique traits Pikmin could have. definetely what lego stated, give them a different "top of their head". maybe player four can have all 3 while the rest only have one
Yeah, maybe that.Or maybe the Pikmin also change colour with each pallet swap.
What? You're thinking the Pikmin will always be alongside him? It would make more sense if they worked like King Dedede's side special.Or maybe the Pikmin also change colour with each pallet swap.
Neither has Samus or half the roster...and you know why? Because they aren't Mario characters...I decided to come to see this magical moveset that would make Olimar playable. And after taking the time to read, and boy did you go into detail, I'm going to start off by saying this:
This a fighting game. Those moves are so ridiculous slow (the B moves) that Olimar would never get anything done. Awful. Just awful.
I understand the guy is popular. And that is all well and good. That's why he'll make a great asst trophy. But those moves aren't realistic. Too complex and too slow. He hasn't been in any other games, like Mario Party or a Mario sports game, so maybe that tells you something right there.
Asst trophy for sure, but no way as a playable character. Maybe even a stage, why not.
You don't know that. Biases aside, he has a decent chance of becoming a playable character. And you should know better than to base such conclusions on a moveset invented by a random member as opposed to Sakurai himself.Asst trophy for sure, but no way as a playable character. Maybe even a stage, why not.
Well there are a ton of you, I would assume your combined brainpower could think of a good move set. If this many supporters can't, that might tell you something.You don't know that. Biases aside, he has a decent chance of becoming a playable character. And you should know better than to base such conclusions on a moveset invented by a random member as opposed to Sakurai himself.

Edit: And seeing what is being argued above this post, it proves my point more that he is unmakable.
Probably not, although he would be very unique a WTF character is one that isn't expected to be in the game and is a complete suprise E.G. Ness in the first smash and Game & Watch in Melee. Olimar is very well known and pretty much expected to be in the game by most at this point.Would Olimar be considered a WTF Character? I think so, he would be really unique.
Well, Olimar's chances are high, but his uniqueness as a playable character is definitely WTF, because from what I've seen, his moveset will most likely be difficult to master (Game and Watch anyone?)Would Olimar be considered a WTF Character? I think so, he would be really unique.
No, but he would be a FTW character.Would Olimar be considered a WTF Character? I think so, he would be really unique.
Well, I haven't played any of the Pikmin games and I really don't know that much about it, so don't go flaming me.Well since when does Olimar have a portable rocket? There are things he does have or could use that work as recovery moves, like my Bumbling Snitchbug idea. And nobody is even touching the sprays he uses.
I never once flamed you. But yea, if you never played the game, then expect a little 'constructive criticism' when you try to make a moveset.Well, I haven't played any of the Pikmin games and I really don't know that much about it, so don't go flaming me.

Well I mean it would come and snatch him against his will as it does in the games, even though for the purposes of the game it's obviously beneficial.I don't like the sprays as part of his moveset other than FS. His FS, he could petrify everyone and all of his Pikmin would be powered up. I'd like that better. I'm still mixed on the ^B thing...I'm not sure I like the snitchbug thing. Doesn't seem like something he could summon at will...
Pokémon Trainer clone? ... what the hell? XDegrutz, add to the common arguments "PT clone" and "too complex to implement"
Pokémon Trainer clone? ... what the hell? XD
That's more lame than Peach; I'll just add that with the Peach clone argument then.
And "Too complex to implement,". Got it.
Though, throw me some counters that you guys have came up with =P
It's not just me talking here.
(sorry if they've been stated in the thread before, I can't find the interest to look back ;o)
Who thought the Ice Climbers wouldn't work? Nobody really suspected they'd be in the Smash series until they were actually revealed in Melee. And by then it was obvious they worked because they were in the game.how about that people thought that characters like PT and Ice climbers would never work but look whose in the game
(wow, late quote) No, Bulbax has become more of a random enemy you'll find in sublevel complexes in Pikmin 2. The main boss is the Titan Dweevil, aka Louie on top of a giant bug. Which brings up the great off-topic question: Is Louie really a good guy? He caused Olimar to go back to Earth, and he possibly controlled Titan Dweevil.Since I asked this on the other olimar thread I'll ask it here. Do you think emporer bulbax could be a SE boss?
I'm assuming that Olimar will have 2 or 3 Pikkies to start. Add that to the Counter-argument.He doesn't have any attacks without his Pikmin out.
Of course, they obviously have not played Pikmin 2 before when saying this.
