Hey guys just posting up some vids i have of me vs a few friends..

Overall i've been working on improving shi.t like spikes and airgame so some of these videos might be fairly sub-par in skill level but none-the-less any feedback and or abusive comments are always welcome..!

BLAH..!

What an amazingly talented Fox and Sonic you are fighting there.. >.>

But on a more serious note... Can't believe some of the comebacks you pulled off in those games :p
If you happen to notice anything that I did horribly wrong (like the edge guard at the end of the second Fox fight :() feel free to also point that out :p.

Nice olimar. Ive been noticing this a lot but people don't throw pikmin like crazy. one of my strats is to latch pikmin.-then run up and attack. If he doesn't get the pikmin off of him he gets damage. He if does then use that distraction as a advantage to you.

Side note. not completely sure of this but like pikachu's Forward B you should be able to grab fox out of his illusion move.

Good effort! You have the right concept of playing Olimar, but I do have some suggestions:
Rawt (Olimar) vs Cal (Fox) 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-PX93msuno

Opening: Right concept, but could be executed a tad better.
Try a double jump and tilt back on the control stick before throwing Pikmin. You will now have good height and distance for throwing Pikmin.

NC-Echo perfectly demonstrates what I am saying:

If you are against characters with few or no projectiles, keep your distance.

Tactics: Short jump+Pikmin Throw works really well. Your Pikmin can cover long distances, especially the white. I'd also like to see you whistle a bit more, to arrange your Pikmin or to get out of trouble.
Another pointer: If you are against heavier opponents, try a Dash Attack and then a U-Smash.

Grabs: Not a bad effort at all with the grabs. It's good to see you abuse the grabs, but here is what I think:

F-Throw: I would use it if the opponent is on the edge (both sides). Little knockback and not a good KO move. If you do use it, however, I would recommend Pikmin Throw.

B-Throw: Very good, especially with Blue Pikmin. You used it at 2:41, but at that time it wasn't the best choice. You threw him from one corner to the other. Not good, but you turned out lucky. An F-Throw would have KOed with more reliability.

D-Throw: My favorite. You can follow it up with a F-Air (jump immediately to make contact) U-Air, or a U-Smash and then a U-Air.

U-Throw: Good, but not recommended. It can KO at high percents, especially with a Purple Pikmin, but you can't combo...unfortunately.

Whistle:
In 2:28 you were in deep trouble. You decided to try a F-Air but was KOed instead. Appropiate choice but I would have tried a whistle to get on ground. Also, when you KO an opponent, a good choice would be to whistle.

Sorry about this: I went a bit too overboard (I'm AUS) but I really do believe you have the potential to be good.

Keep it up and good luck!

Thanks for the feedback..!

Yeah the whistle is a pretty awkward concept im getting used to.. Still find i get caught up in the fight alot and forget to whistle.. This is starting to get used alot more especially when arranging red pikmin to spike and blue pikmin for grabs.. The super armor is something i also am getting used to as its almost second nature to just attack but i will keep that in mind..

The pikmin throw i use to offput opponents or to fake out an attack personally.. Nowadays i do abuse it a fair bit more but find i prefer to use it when an opponent is vulnerable and i can maximise my damage on them or against wolf -_-..

Okay i tested a few things out and can confirm..

You can grab fox and the other furries out of their illusion dash.. I found it better to tech chase and smash them out of it instead.. (Counts with spikes also)..

Tried a varied approach with pikmin throws to setup grabs and it seemed a great approach so thank you Dav also for that piece of advice.. ^.^

BLAH..!
