Are you looking for criticism? I'm used to criticizing people's Olimar, but you don't say... I watched some of the videos and it looks good for the most part. You had some trouble against the kirby and he didn't punish you very well. Your opponent isn't crap though. you're both pretty good for the most part. It's overwhelming to post that many videos at once though...

Good vids man, only thing was comboing at low percents....you didn't do it at all, if they are at 0 or near 0 you at least have to try the dthrow, short hop fair, or dthrow dash upsmash, something to get in the extra percents. Also use your throws wisely, i saw a couple times when you grabbed with a blue facing the edge at 130 and threw back instead of forward for a kill. But good oli and keep it up.

Yeah, one of my other friends noticed the throw thing.. He teased me because i dthrowed him with blue at 170% one match.

Thanks for your input! :)

You must DanGR, that is the law of video threads. Why did all the team videos have such bad quality? Only watched a few, you did pretty good against G&W but there were a lot of times you could have avoided his Dair and punish the lag

Alright, I'll just keep it short because anything that isn't on the 'five random stage list' I skipped watching. Also, because why not?


So things to note.

-Comboes.
-Practice your foward b -alot of practice here- (Try shorthopping and f-b)
-Correct throwing.
-Know what beats what. I saw you tons of times try to upsmash against a G&W in the air. Don't do it. Same with up tilt. Replace that with a quick SH upair, or dodge it completely. DO NOT STAND AND SHIELD IT.
-Recover with a better timed dodge. Remember, you can jump and quickly press the dodge button(s) to dodge while rising to the stage. This should help you ALOT against the pit in that fight. Same thing for jumping and quickly pressing up+b to get less distance. (It's bad)

The team matches have poor quality because it's from camera and not replays.

I put all counterpick and all neutral stages on my random when playing friendlies. And i often counterpick on non-neutral stages. So that's why there's matches on Pictochat, Distant Planet, and others...

Thanks for your input. :)

Ah, just to point it out. I'm not saying that it's "Bad" or something.. I just see more balance in neutral stages. As for teams, seeing how you depend on an ally at least a bit, I skipped them as well.

I'd say you are pretty good, but need to work on the ones I said, especially your foward B and your order.

It took me till now to figure out that you're Emmy from AiB.

I'd critique you but I don't know anything about Olimar except that he ***** hedgehogs for fun.

some good videos there emmy! only thing i could critique is to be a little more precise with movements and actions (just to speed up your overall play a little bit without over playing your pace). Combos at low % are all too important as well, so watch for those d-throws into combos (or uthrow if vs. a heavier char like snake)
overall good performance. keep it coming!
