The character just seems to suck as much as Ice Climbers. No variety in moves, your power is dependant on your level 1 bot controlled slaves, and movement will be irritating when you have to make sure 5 of these guys follow you without dieng.

I like Pikmin as a game, but seriously, just because they have good games doesn't mean they have the potential for a decent Brawl character. So far, alot of Brawl characters have a big variety of moves and plenty smooth movement. (Marth only swings with his danged sword. No variety either. Ice Climbers suck at movement, since Nana is controlled by a level 1 bot, and you have to make sure she doesn't die. And yeah, they also only use freezing attacks and hammers.) Pikmin & Olimar seems to be only put in because they are one of Nintendo's popular franchise's representing characters. Not much thought at all except for making an original and wanted character for Brawl.

Alright. I didn't play as him yet. But I can already tell what he'll be. Please, Nintendo, suprise me and make him a good character, instead of the second Ice Climbers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I might have misunderstood you, but it sounded like you were calling the Ice Climbers a bad character?
*cough*

Wow, this update has made me SUPER happy. Not only is Olimar the first new character in a while, and not only is he a cool character/new franchise, BUT he's also Icon 22, meaning that there might still be room for Issac (There's still two icons that aren't taken yet, if one of them is G&W then the other could be something else)

Haha, I think Yoshi is gonna have to take a seat, Olimar looks real main-ish to me!

Did I mention today's update was pure gold? Yes? I'll say it again: Today's update was mind-blowingly awesome!

Ice Climbers are awesome, gtfo.

oh and Olmar Kirby Hat confirmed. I wonder how Kirby's neutral B will work if he can't pluck pikmin. I wonder what his neutral B will be for that matter. I always figured it'd be pikmin toss.

oh, and I always love it when the haters and trolls lose. When Ice Climbers got their update, it was like the greatest day of my life.

Wow, this is definitely my favorite update ever! So many people thought he'd never get in, and they were WRONG! He looks perfect, and the Pikmin are great! I loved their little habits in the games, it'll be a ton of fun to see how they act on THIS battlefield!

oh an dont forget guys about Geno guys...remember...Japan's fate will be determined when smash bros is released
Is something going to happen to Japan if Geno does not appear in Smash Brothers? Is it going to blow up?

I mean, Geno would be amazing to have in the game, but I would not get my hopes up.

I have to admit, I was expecting him to be more of a assist trophy than a playable character. Obviously, most of his moves will probably be throwing the pikmin in the air.

theres a flash movie (which is apparently popular,rightfully so it's hilarious) where Geno says if he's not in the game he's gonna blow up Japan.

Olimar was one of my top three (the other two being Krystal and Ridley, I know i'm generic) so this is awesome news for me. He ties with Ike for my favorite newcomer. Ike wasn't ever one of my most wanted because I didn't play his game till after he was announced on the Dojo. Though I already had liked Ike from what I did know about him once I played RD and PoR I really liked him.

And Olimar turned out just how he should have, I was worried (not too worried but slightly) that he'd be like PT and send Pikmin to do his work, which just wouldn't have fit him.

this is proof that Sakurai doesn't give about sizes, do you know how small Olimar is?

Shhhh. Do you hear that?


That's the sound of people not whining about a character update.
It's a beautiful sound.

Grats to everyone that wanted him/them!

I was surprised to see him/them.. More than an AT. I guess since I wasn't really a fan of the game I didn't get to see why people wanted him/them in.

So cheers to all you Olimar & Pikmin people!

This is honestly....my WTF character. Having NEVER played Pikmin, I don't have much history of Cpt. Olimar. But i'm actually REALLY HAPPY to See this. :D

I didn't expect this at all. I mean, who did? I don't play Pikmin and probably wont ever, but I want to see how this new character will play out, even though he's not one of the characters I was looking forward to getting.

OMG Olimar confirmed for Brawl!:chuckle:

I was really happy to see this character, not cause im some huge pikmin fan but just cause its another one of those more unique characters (like pokemon trainer) that will have a erally unique feel, now of course everyone will be greedy for special moves but i think we might have to wait till the 24th, anyways this is a cool character, also what could his final smash be?

Great character. He looks way better then I imagined he would look. Let's hope we get his special moves tomorrow like we did with Sonic.

The character just seems to suck as much as Ice Climbers. No variety in moves, your power is dependant on your level 1 bot controlled slaves, and movement will be irritating when you have to make sure 5 of these guys follow you without dieng.

I like Pikmin as a game, but seriously, just because they have good games doesn't mean they have the potential for a decent Brawl character. So far, alot of Brawl characters have a big variety of moves and plenty smooth movement. (Marth only swings with his danged sword. No variety either. Ice Climbers suck at movement, since Nana is controlled by a level 1 bot, and you have to make sure she doesn't die. And yeah, they also only use freezing attacks and hammers.) Pikmin & Olimar seems to be only put in because they are one of Nintendo's popular franchise's representing characters. Not much thought at all except for making an original and wanted character for Brawl.

Alright. I didn't play as him yet. But I can already tell what he'll be. Please, Nintendo, suprise me and make him a good character, instead of the second Ice Climbers.
Are you seriously making fun of the Ice Climbers?

I'll kick your @$$ using just Popo anyday! :p

But seriously, the Ice Climbers are NOT bad characters, they're freaking deadly, ever heared of Chudat? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5fSRyCs-yc
