The "I Hate White Pikmin" Club

[Sage2050]

Too many times my combos and finishers have been screwed over by these little *******s. I just wish they'd never show up sometimes.

 

[pockyD]

i've had many a finisher ruined by them as well, but i also appreciate the riskless 30-40% they can often tack on if your opponent gets caught in a bad position

 

[cHiCkEN_TeNdErS]

learn to watch your line when you jump/dash and when you see a white one coming whistle it to the back

its not that hard to keep track of one color vs watching all 5 (which im sure in time I can get the hang of)

White pikmin pwn... sorry I cannot partake in your club

Dito. I cannot hate the ultimate camping tool. >.>

 

[Sage2050]

its not that i can't keep track of it, it's that you don't really have time to do anything about it in the heat of a combo.

 

[Evelgest]

Well, it's like when you want to latch a pikmen or F-smash at a certain distance, but you get a purple pikmen instead. This is something that makes Olimar challenging, because sometimes you'll have to micromanage your line.

 

[Straylit]

Just learn to watch your line and regroup. Theres a thread teaching this. Its not difficult.

 

[IllidR]

I'm sorry, I love the little whites. Whenever I see one in my line I try to get him to the front as soon as possible to throw and hopefully rack up some damage.

 

[Ultimatum479]

White Pikmin own. Their knockback, especially on throws, is so pathetic that they set up combos even at high percentages. Add that with their grab range and they're your best bet at mid-percentages for throws. (At high percentages, of course, you're better off going for the kill, ie Blue Bthrow or the like, and at low percentages any Pikmin will set up a combo.)

 

[asob4]

i just watch my line and any time i see them i wait to latch them lol
though i admit, they can be annoying when there's more than one and you're not camping

 

[DeathNote]

White pikmin are good for the beginning of the match, and when you want your opponent to focus on other things (like focus on getting they pikmin off while you pick some more)... it also works nice when your opponent is trying to recover. It's a great way to rack up damage.

 

[Fredd]

Awwww, don`t be "hating" on the White Pikmin.

And who said that you had to use them as a finisher move anyways?
I agree with Ultimatum479 , they are excellent for throws.​

 

[shanus]

dont only think to latch white pikmin, they have their combo uses ^^.

i.e. Hitting them with a fair at the peak of your jump often allows for a FF fair (preferably red or yellow) just before you hit the ground. This can then be linked to a variety of other things a la psuedo marth combos in melee.

 

[Newtwarrior]

I enjoy these little guys for their damages, obviously.
But they work well for combo starters even at high % because of their naturally weak state in physical strength, but I can't help but admit these guys tend to come in the heat of a 90%+ last stock each situation, and it doesn't help...I pulled out 6 pikmin when I got the chance in a recent match just like that..the order?

White
Red
White
White
Yellow
White

I was stunned I pulled out so many, though I didn't have time to "purge" so it became extreme difficult to defend myself D:

Its a bittersweet feeling oh white pikumin

SHIRO PIKUMIN NI WA...DOKU GA RU....

if my opponent were at 90% and I pull this its a guaranteed kill...
-whistle the white to the front
-throw all 4
-dash in while your opponent is busy dealing with them and u-smash

you people need to learn to control your line and take advantage of situations like that

 

[Dr. Hyde]

If you really are doing a combo you already know the order your pikmin are in. So you throw the white one as soon as you get to it or makes sure it is coupled with a better pikmin, purple one, during a down smash.

It's not a combo if you don't know what you are doing.

Besides the second I see my order I plan what I'm going to do. You should to.
The main reason is the opponent doesn't understand Olimar and won't realize what you are up to. Remember that.

i think you underestimate how easy it is to "deal with" pikmin.

no sir! Ive been maining olimar since the game came out (due to a very unnatural love for the pikmin games) and if you just try to watch your line. as in just know where white pikmin are at any given moment then whistle/throw them away when needed and slowly start to notice purple pikmin and so on, you can master your line in no time... well slowly


and as Dr.Hyde said once you can control your line and manipulate them perfectly your opponent doesnt stand a chance

 

[Ultimatum479]

Err. Don't forget that stages affect the frequencies of the Pikmin colors that Olimar pulls.

 

[shrinkray21]

Watch your Line!!! White pikmin are amazing if you keep track of where they are!! Sorry, I like clubs, but this one isn't for me!! lols

 

[fkacyan]

They only do a crapload when they grab on when thrown by your Side-B.

I like clubs too, I won't join this one though because im not racist...

joke hehehe

 

[showmeyagoose]

if you hate white pikmin you should die immediately

 

[Jarri]

I like white Pikmin. Good throw, so you can annoy your opponent while he/she can't do anything.

 

[ElSpaniard]

throw one on your opponent then grab him and watch the massive beat down!

 

[AzureDrag0n1]

Are you crazy? In beginning of a match I got 2 white pikmin. I threw them both and then grabbed the enemy. After the throw his damage went from 0% to 106%. That is INSANE. No character can do that much damage in just 3 moves so quickly. If I managed to smash him in the next move he would have died. Almost got a 4 move KO.

fb, fb, then grab and bam they are near death. What is white pikmin damage anyway? Something near 50% if it lasts the full duration I think.

 

[cHiCkEN_TeNdErS]

if you hate white pikmin you should die immediately

or at least stop playing as olimar...
