Striped said it well, you can try whistling or baiting an attack on stage by looking like you'll land, but using up-b into an aerial to punish his whiff.

The ranking at Chile is updated :D.
Last update is today 29-Oct-2015.

I climbed from 50 to 23 position ^^ and if you can see, I'm the only Olimar main. (There is another Olimar but is a secondary character)
I hope you can feel proud of our Olimar / Alph players around the world as much as I am :D.

Very nice, it must have taken you a lot of skill and effort to have such a drastic jump in your PR placing.

Yeah, personally I have to train hard the few time I have left, as you may already know: I work like 9 hours and I'm a father and husband.
But without pain there is no gain, so no excuses in my way to keep improving :D.

You guys are a fundamental part of my progress too :).

Tell me about it xD I gotta study for exams that are coming up myself, so my time it pretty limited. But I'm improving really fast with the tips I get from you and others whenever I have time to post a match I have had ^^ I know for sure I wouldn't be making progress as much as I am without all of the feedback I get, so really everyone. Thanks a bunch!

Setting up my stream now, I'll be doing viewer battles if any of you wanna stop by. Twitch.tv/myranssb
Nice, I will check it out =P
Sadly I can't play today.
I have a killer headache >_< ~And I wouldn't put it past myself that if I did play it wouldn't be the smoothest experience~

Hiya everyone, hope you're all having a great day! :bee:

Just been looking into playing Olimar/Alph and really enjoying playing as them! So I'd love to learn some stuff from the awesome people here and get to know the character and people here! ^^

Still early days for me though, only recently found out that his down b cycles through your Pikmin party haha.

Hope to join in on the conversations here and have some fun! :D

:003:

Yeah, after MVD I really psyched myself out. I have poor technical consistency so tech errors happen more frequently than I'd like. As of late it's been affecting my psyche whenever big ones like the end of game one vs MVD happened. I'm working on fixing it, but I feel that cost me big against Xaltis as well.

I didn't see the mvd fight but everytime xaltis up smashed I wanted to punch something it's like that's all you need to do to win as Rosa and it's hard to get away from her with how much aerial movement she has compared to us I don't see how this match-up is in our favor

It is, even by a small margin. It just requires a lot of patience and abuse of hitlag extension through Pikmin. Also you need to be ready to punish her hard when she's offstage. I was a bit rusty against Rosa as well which probably didn't help.

I know downtilt at the ledge destroys her I wonder if there is a kill confirm off that with an up air at certain percentages
Also what's with the grabs wiffing after you shield her dash attack that garbage needs to be fixed it's like she floats over the grab

Anyway I'm learning a ton watching your past games keep up the good work!

So how did everyone enjoy Genesis 3, either attending or watching from home? I personally enjoyed the hell out of the tournament, and found it to be quite hype. Although I'm sad about no Olimars in top 32. For the record I was unable to attend.

Loved watching genesis 3's smash 64 tournament, was really awesome to watch!

Shame there wasn't any Olimars in top 32, really thought he'd have a chance. Loved debuzz's matches with zero, some really exciting stuff!

Was happy to see Angbad and Imhip play Olimar, though Ness just seems like one of the worst matchups ever...

There's definitely worse than Ness out there lol. He's just one of those characters that you have to respect a lot more than usual since he kills so easily.

In the interest of sparking any sort of activity here, I've found a neat 'n short one-shot SFW fanfic with feels that seems to take place within the middle of the Pikmin 1 days, written from the perspective of a few of the Family Man's countless Pikmin.

http://twin-cats.deviantart.com/art/6-Tears-556861075

Personally, I found it to be quite the occasion to fire up the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni OSTs for this one, specifically the Matsuri OST. :3

I LOVE it when I find occasions to use super-manly dance-fight songs like "Kaguramai", since its one of those songs that I can seriously imagine myself wanting to have actively blaring when folks are looking to finally get serious enough to figuratively throw down ALL the dueling gloves, so to speak. 8D


As someone who's looking for inspiration to continue the ambitiously-in-perpetual-development fic series, Shimmering Eyes, this COULD serve as quality reference material. ;)

I'm sorry guys. I just could get the 3rd place. I'm some disappointed of me and I'm sorry if I disappointed some of you u.u.

I lost against 2nd place (Sheik) and 1st Place (ZSS) u_u.

I practiced a lot against Sheik and I was confident, but my nerves mades me roll every time and I couldn't adapt to his game.

Against ZSS it was the pikmin desync issue... A purple didn't follow me up and I lost, was last hit game u.u.

I'm sad :(.

Congrats! You'll get 'em next time. Desyncs are such a pain at times.
I actually just went to my first local a few weeks ago. It was a 38-man tourney and I tied for 13th. Hopefully I can just keep improving.

Thank you for your words, you are so kind.
And Yes! The only thing you can do is to improve your skills :D, there is no other way and I think you will do it great.
Don't ever give up :D

Guys I just want to let you know I finally make it.
I defeated the Sheik player in my city and took the 1st place :D.
I'm so happy... I don't have more words.

Thank you every one of you who taught me something and gave me advice.

(For my bad luck the $%/&%/" replay recorded awfully so there aren't videos ._.)

So im thinking of stepping into the "hyperbolic time chamber" and just straight grind and and work on character movement. What would you guys say is the best way to lab? For Glory? online wifi? vs CPUs?

If not playing with real people I'd definitely say finding other good players you know to play wifi with. For Glory is hit or miss, and Anthers may help, but when climbing the ladder can also be hit or miss.

I have built my skills almost only playing wifi and for glory.
Tournaments and some few offline games are exams when wifi and for glory are study/learning for exams.
My homework is watching videos and learning other helpful stuffs.

That's because of my restriction of time at work and with my family.

Man, I like Olimar and Pikmin a lot, but I am not sure I have much fun playing the character in this game. Still, he's on my list of characters of interest, and I think he may suit me well. Perhaps I will be posting here more in the near future :)

I don't know if there's anything to post about in this sub-forum. It's been barely alive for the last few months. As soon as I stopped posting discussion prompts in the matchup thread, there hasn't been a lot of activity aside from the occasional post in this thread.

I mean, I tried to get a list of KO percentages for all characters for any notable attacks Oli has because some other character forums have that sort of thread, but there are so many colors to test that I kept dropping the project 10 characters in.

Not a very active board, huh? It's a pretty common thing. You guys participate in a Discord at all? Unless there isn't much left to discuss.

Sorry to hear that. I can imagine the Olimar community is on the smaller side. As long as there are existing resources to work with, I'll be fine. That is, if I decide to play more Olimar. My Olimar is far from impressive as things stand, so I a unsure if I should pursue him any further.
