that test actually proves nothing. go to the echo guide thread. in it he has some movies and he actully does the purple pikman recovery in a couple of them.

Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's effective

That video is not suitable for showing how effective it is...

1. He didnt even hit him with the pikmin in the video.
2. Thats assuming 1 angle as opposed to many angles he could approach from.
3. This recovery saves your *** from hoggers... A LOT

Now granted if you throw the chubby punk at your opponent while they are still in their invincible frames, it wont work at all.
