pikminless recovery

[drunk3ng0ldfish]

so today i decided to play olimar without his pikmin...
and discovered, interestingly, his upb recovery is better with 0 pikmin compared to 1 pikmin.
its strange. i did not test it, but i think its because the slight boost up allows him to reach into the sweetspot area of the ledge (which is surprisingly large), and apparently pikmin cannot sweetspot the ledge as well as olimar.

Olimar's Up-B gives a better recovery with 0 pikmen than it does with 1-3 pikmen. This is known. Read the stickies before making post like this please.
