divide that 136% by like 3-5 and thats how much the pikmin actually do against a real opponet and with olimars tether recovery he is definatly NOT going to be top teir, if anything i think he would be low high teir or mid

I disagree, I don't think he will be top tier but he could be high and I would not expect to see him at low or bottom.

i think he will probably be mid or low high. I hope its the former, I would hate to see people play as oli just because he is good.

Check out his recovery.. it's terrible. That's the main thing holding him back.

atleast with the invincibility frames in the whistle he can be hard to edgeguard.
olimar can throw a pikmin at someone edgehogging to get them off the edge.

He can throw a pikmin at them but only a purple one will really get them off :( The others will just do damage.

i think olimars range will be in a mid to high low tier with a side of god or fox/falco tier his level and usage will be directly divisible by his tier and the amount of playability will be the opposite of his lowest tier blue pikmin of course will be god tier where as white and purple will be tournament level tier but yellow will be for casual tier as unplayable against a pro.....GAAAA!!!!

i'm crying tears at the talk of tiers already!!! NO ONE KNOWS YET!

olimar top tier
Oh god, I hope not. He'd be overused, and I dont want that.

I have two other mains I have to worry about being top tier (Diddy, WW Link) just because of their speed and power....sigh..

Look, Olimar is not going to be a character you can just rush in, press a bunch of buttons, and expect results (be them good or bad) such as characters like Marth and MetaKnight. He's a mindgame character who is going to run circles around anyone who is not paying attention to what's REALLY happening in the match.

He's going to be like Snake, below average stats, but if used correctly, a force to be reckoned with. And I don't mean that in the cliche, anyone can be a good character, sense.

I really don't know. He has gimpable recovery and gimpable offense. But his range and power seems good when it isn't gimped.

Exactly. And you can't expect people to already be able to display what Olimar can really do in a match. He is one of, if not THE most technical character in the game, and it'll be awhile before he's really mastered by anyone. He's not the "pick up and play" character of Brawl, he's for people who want a truly in depth character.

I fought a good Olimar today. Couple of things to his advantage. Lot of priority on his attacks with the pikmin and really good damage. He hits HARD. Also, his attack animations are VERY subtle. Often times, especially in non-1v1, it seems like he's just standing there and you're getting hit by random ****. He's like a little space man surrounded by hit boxes. His recovery does suck though but, he's definitely a good character beyond that. Keep him on the stage and ****.

YES!! that is excatly how he is going to be like. like a improved mewtwo. mindgames, and a smart person with the controller is going to be a good olimar.

Then i guess Oli should just avoid being kicked off. Now.... how does he do that? Well, his super armor should allow him to just sit there as the attack damages him, and if they move past him with their attack, then bam! pivot d-grab, to u-smash. It allows him to deal with being put in the air, seeing as they're stuck in the air. Also, his shield grab is quite good, so he shouldn't have to worry. It's just at this stage of the game, not many people have him nailed down to perfection, and it won't be like that for quite a while.

pikmen and olimar rulez

Pikmen and Olimar will be high tier for sure because he may have a bad recoverey but every other thing about him is awesome! i have seen him be awesome so many times, and he will be hard to get used to but he is the best!
