We have all talked about the individual abilities of each Pikmin, what they do, how they work, which is best at what, ect., but let's take a look at an ability they all share. Has anyone noticed when 2 - 3 Pikmin are latched on to a target it delays their attack?

If you notice, when someone like ROB tries to use his Fair or Nair on a target while latched with Pikmin, it delays the attack to a point where you can run away from it. This can be good and bad, because his hitbox is still out meaning you'll take damage if you don't attack properly, but it can also be advantageous because you can sit and wait for a usually quick attack with little landing lag, to finish because it's now slow and lagged.

Does anyone use this effect in an unique ways while playing against an opponent? I've got in a couple Fairs because of it, but I've never considered it to be a major part of Olimar's gameplay.
