Social The Olimar and Alph Social thread!

[Myran]

I'm there with you on them leaving Olimar as broken as he is. As for the Pikmin desync issue it really just comes down to paying close attention to the Pikmin and optimizing your movement to minimize it. For example if a Pikmin is stuck on the edge of a platform you've run past it likelly isn't gonna come to you if you attack with it if you're too far away. So you'll take not of it being stuck there and maybe short hop towards it to resync it. It's really all about the heightened awareness and understanding of how Pikmin interact whenever Olimar moves and how other objects/characters can affect them.

Welcome to the Social thread of Olimar and Alph, captains hailing from the small but loved Pikmin franchise!​

I don’t understand this character an why he’s considered one of the best

 

[Myran]

Well he's definitely a bit weaker than he was in 1.0. That said what exactly are you confused on?

I've avoided Olimar like the plague ever since Brawl bc I didn't want to commit to the micromanagement, but I forced myself to play a good amount of matches with him recently, and wow, I gotta say he's actually really fun! There's something quite satisfying about being able to use each Pikmin's strength to their full extent. Will definitely consider picking him up as a secondary.

Haven't had the chance to check for myself yet but looking at the patch notes, did they still not fix Olimar's shield?

Yeah, that's why I think reducing Olimar's pikmin limit to 3 was actually a good thing. He was still fun in Brawl, but it felt really difficult to actually micromanage efficiently with that many pikmin by your side. It's much easier to plan out strategies now that you've got an actually manageable army.

His shield is still broken

Ok this thread is quiet but hear me out.

Of all the little "everyone is here!"-trailers the base game characters got, all of them except Olimar's have views over 200k. That irks my OCD as it's so close for him too, so let's help the little guy and stream it over 200k haha:
