Pikmin YOU Throw Can Attach To YOU!

[M.K]

Maybe this has been discovered already, but I was playing a match today on a flat custom stage and I threw a Blue Pikmin at the Sonic I was playing against. Somehow I ended up running past him to the left, and I discovered that the little Blue guy was hitting on my helmet! Is this common? Does it happen often? What triggers it? Thanks for the help!

I knew Pikmins could be reflected, but if this is true maybe they're "neutral", kinda like wobofet(or however it's written).

EDIT: I read your post again and figured something out... Did you and your opponent run past each other? If you did maybe it means pikmins can transfer like Snake's C4.

Hmm... interesting...

I knew they could be reflected... but this is fascinating... this could also mean bad things if we dont figure out what triggers it

Whistle it off. Problem solved.

Did it ever actually attach to Sonic because he was probably just wearing a Franklin Badge.

it was probably shield reflected i have had hat happen a few times

your pikmin can attach to you, i have to watch out for that alot when paying falco mains. his reflector is perfect for turning my pikmin back on me.

So.... reflected pikmins CAN attach to you?.. is this confirmed?

 

[DarkStraw]

reflected pikmin can attach, it happens all the time, pretty common if your playing the spacies or pretty much anyone with a reflector (almost everyone?)

i've had my pikmin attach to myself without fighting anyone shielding/ reflecting. not really sure what happened exactly, although i do remember us running past each other, like suggested in NeoZ's edit.

yes pikmin can be reflected back onto you. just whistle it off once it clings on
