Terrain Types

Most of the Terrain in Brawl can be categorized into certain groups, which are then broken up into the individual terrain.

Metallic Terrain
Metallic(1) - Regular Metal, such as the metallic platforms in Pokemon Stadium 1 (Rock Phase). 20/30/20/10/20

Metallic(2) - Any Land Vehicle, such as the Cars/Ship in Big Blue and the Landmasters. 20/30/20/10/20

Metallic(3) - The Great Fox and Arwings in Corneria/Lylat Cruise. The Ship from Big Blue is for some reason this type of terrain in the boss battle against Meta Ridley, however is of the Metallic(2) type when in Big Blue. 20/30/20/15/15

Water Terrain
Shallow Water - Anytime that you can stand in water without drowning. The actual terrain you're standing on does not matter. For example, the terrain at the bottom of summit is ice terrain, but when it's slightly submerged in water, it entirely changes terrain even though you're still pulling from the ice. The Pirate Ship, after crashing and slightly submerging, however, does not change it's terrain type at all and remains standard. 0/30/40/15/15

Ice - Ice terrain that characters slide on. 20/20/30/20/10

Cloud - The clouds from Skyworld after breaking the platforms. 20/20/30/20/10

Cloth Terrain

Cloth - The awnings in Onett/Delphino Plaza and the Flags in Castle Seige. I dont exactly know why Cloth gives this percentage of pikmin... i guess there's just not much else that could increase red pikmin (burning house at stadium maybe?) 30/20/20/15/15

Umbrella - The Umbrella at Delphino Plaza, however, does not change percentages at all. 23/23/23/15/15

Plant Terrain

Tree - Trees (Pokemon Stadium 1 and Onett) for some reason give an increase in white pikmin, regardless of how much sense it would make. 23/23/23/20/10

Burnt Tree - The burnt Tree in Pokemon Stadium 1, however, does not give any percentage changes. 23/23/23/15/

Leaves/Vines - The Leaves and Vines from Distant Planet also give no terrain change. 23/23/23/15/15

Hanenbow Leaves - The Leaves in Hanenbow give one of the most unusual terrain changes, increasing all of the primary colors and reducing the secondary two as far as they can go. 30/30/30/5/5

Wood

Wood - Most wood terrain dont give any changes whatsoever. 23/23/23/15/15

Jungle Japes Wood - The Wood in Jungle Japes however gives a very small increase to the primary colors and decreases purple. 25/25/25/15/10

Rock

Rock(1) - Rock terrain do not give any alternate percentages at all. These are namely the rocks at Distant Planet, Pokemon Stadium 1, and Pirate Ship. 23/23/23/15/15.

Rock(2) - The percentage in this terrain are actually the exact same as Rock(1). The difference in the two is actually something not pertaining to terrain. For some reason it pulling pikmin from this terrain increases Olimar's pluck animation by 50%. The terrain I've found this to happen at so far are Castle Seige (Phase 3), The inside of Spear Pillar, Target Test 2, and half of the custom stage pats. 23/23/23/15/15

Stone(1) - Any stone at Rumble Falls. 25/25/15/15/20

Stone(2) - The Stone Bridge in Bridge of Eldin. 23/23/23/15/15

Sand - The Sand Beaches at Delphino Plaza./ 30/30/15/10/15

AMERICAN
Bulborb - Yeah. He voted for obama. 30/15/25/25/5

Other
Anything from Grass to Random Platforms. From Pipes to the Support Ghost. The Terrain in this group either give standard, white, or puple, and it seems to be for the most part randomly placed throughout them, not making much sense (mushroomy blocks increasing white?). Listing all of these out would take too much time and nobody would read it :D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unimportant Terrain


The following are Terrain are either Items, Produced by an item, or are only available in a mode other than VS Mode. Knowing the characteristics of these Terrains arent very beneficial, but should probably be checked regardless just for Pluck Mechanics.

Items:
Box(Wheels)
The Spinning Platform from the Assist Trophy....(what's it called? lol)

Final Smashes:
Landmaster(Fox)
Landmaster(Falco)
Landmaster(Wolf)
Glacier(Ice Climbers)

Custom Stages:
Platform/Slanted Platforms/Stairs
Ice
Rock
Falling Blocks
Tree
Tree Stump
Windmill
Conveyor Belt
Mushroom
Metal
Stone
Spikes

Supspace Emissary:
Not gonna list them all, but you get the idea....

Stadium:
Target Test 1-5

Allstar Mode/Boss Battle:
Safe Area

Geekd - Getting this whole thing started. Nobody probably would have done this if you hadnt started it lol

Tactical - Inventing the Wake-Up Fork. Oh... and coming up with a bunch of random things for me to test that I never would have thought of >.> like the frickin landmaster lol

And everyone else that tested stages at some point - BlackWaltzX, 1048576, KingofPing4, Fooly, and again, Geekd

Thanx everyone, seriously ^.^




And if anyone wants to help, please... I could use it. This chart wont be completely done for a little while, and that's just the regular stages. If they get finished, and I decide I still wanna do the unimportant terrain.... yeah.... so if anyone wants to help, it would definitely be appreciated.

Whoa nice, now I can lol when people try to counterpick frigate on me, purple pikmin are AMAZING ^_^
Yeah, seeing that puts a LOT in perspective for me. Like I knew that it has that ONE ledge you can't grab... but I never thought it was a horrible oli stage. A decent CP, but there's worse.
Now I look at it as one of my better stages. I CP'd it against a kirby the other day (it's one of kirby's better stages I hear) and I was like O_O.
Counter picking in favor of colors that help the match up is incredible, <3. If corneria weren't a yellow stage, I would CP pikachu's on frigate as well. It's debatable =-/

You might want to double check your numbers, I saw a 23/15 that you said wasn't standard. I forget which one, but I remember seeing it last night.... I guess I didn't hit the submit button or something

That's Amazing!! ^.^
Frigate may actually be a better for olimar now, knowing this. I honestly never hated the stage, and the colors there are too good

Hilt, once again, awesome.

I finally found a quote I've been looking for:

Sakurai said:
As long as there is ground beneath your feet, you can reach down and pull up a Pikmin, but be aware that certain Pikmin are more likely to appear in specific types of flooring.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pikmin.html

Maybe I was the only one looking for exact confirmation. Or maybe it's just old.

But SEE! HA. It's true!

Consider counterpicking a stage with high yellow percentages to fight Lucas. They're the biggest pain in the *** to get off because they don't get killed by Dair, Nair, Dsmash etc. since they're electric. Reds are annoying because if they're on the front of my face they stop my PK Fire from going out and don't come off easily. But I can stop this for the most part by RARing full hops for my PK Fire spacing. Just a few thoughts for you.

Very interesting read. I'm considering picking up Olimar just because watching you play is so fun, Hilt. He might be a fun secondary or atleast for friendlies. I might be going to the midwest circuit championships. I'll let you know. Good luck all you Oli mains.

Yeah purples and reds are the only things that really disrupt my PK Fire camping. Yellows are just difficult to get off so you can damage me if I'm not paying close enough attention. While I'm thinking of it, I think there's a good chance you can hit through my Dair with Fairs or Bairs. I notice you rarely use these against me but Lucas's Dair's priority is only ridiculously good below him. If you hit him in the side with anything it'll knock him out of it. It's something you should try next time.

Added a chart for unimportant terrain from what i've tested so far (which is only the target tests and landmasters >.>)

I've also noticed something that I've been wanting to figure out.

In three areas, the amount of time it takes to pluck pikmin is delayed. There's a very slight pause in between each pikmin pulled. I've had this happen in the last phase of Castle Seige, the inner section of Spear Pillar, and Target Test 2. After timing myself, I was able to pulle six pikmin from regular terrain in roughly a second. In the three above mentioned areas, it took around 1.5 seconds each time. 50% longer.

I dont think it will help or hurt olimar's game in any way... but I'd like to at least know WHY it happens, since it does have something to do with terrain in some way.

Edit: I've now noticed that it's not a pause between plucks, but the terrain actually increases the duration of the pluck. As if it slows it down...

brilliant.

my friend hates me playing olimar. whenever he wants to practice, he always says "Use a normal character." To him, normal characters is not olimar and not melee icies. I own him 100% of the time, even against mk. he gets really frustrated at it:

I printed out this list and brought it to a tourney yesterday. Surprisingly, it helped me a bit. I'll have to memorize most of this.

Rechecked a few terrains. I now know that Stadium has A LOT of options when it comes to picking the right terrain (Grass stage has three different terrain percentages :D). I'll probably end up picking it a lot more personally.

I also redid the terrain types section.
