Jet pack is straight booty, but it actually works every time you use it rofl

And you don't have to pluck more pikmin than the ones you want out of fear of being completely useless off stage. Played SS for a good hour Friday night, nothing is dumber in this game than olimar with flowered yellow&purple who doesn't have to pluck anything else. Olimar on stage game is so good again (not 3.0 but still amazing). No grab armor still blows but some pikmin still just grab spot dodges on the way back.

Oli is a monster until you get him off stage, but that's the same way for over half the cast, just don't get hit. Most of the cast can't approach olimar, and he forces them to anyway

Ohh no doubt Jetpack is better then tether, it's still very weak as a recovery though and I would like for it to be tinkered with for 3.6's full release.

...which is ****ing stupid.

But yeah, purple and yellow is an outstanding combo. He's still got a lot of questionable moves as far as design goes, but he's getting slowly but surely closer to both being good and not being a stupid ****ing character.

If I could just play with only yellows/purples/reds and not have to deal with rng, I'd try to pick up olimar again. It sucks though when I spawn with whites and blues only, like why

If I'm down to my last stock and the other player is at two with low percent or more and I spawn with one white and one yellow I immediately think to myself "welp ggs buddy you got me"

White Pikmin are trash and I don't care how much damage they do it's not even close to enough for their lack of overall application in every other area
