that's insane cg'ing, and that's fun and all, but you just have to be able to do one of them consistently.

still though, god ****.

Wow, that was pretty crazy. What was even crazier is that the Olimar kept getting grabbed somehow. o___O

Fun CGs there. O:

But that's only because it's easy to do different CGs on light characters. xD

Not at all.

This guy has over 100 videos of three stocks against all the roster. He nails it down perfectly unless you scream at him or something. I often get three stocked by him, no matter which character. I've tried to do the CG's but I can't get past 60% or so. He often takes the CG to 150%.

Man who is that guy? He's definately mastered the alt grabs.

That olimar sucks, after you get 0-death'd 2 times from a inifinite grab, you should learn the get out of the IC's grab range...

confirmed. Sending supplies.
That sucked.. and when I say that sucked, I mean that Olimar sucked. =p
Anyway, even though that Olimar sucked, those were some pretty awesome alt grabs.
I can hardly do 4 or 5. >.>

i do think ice climbers would be top tier if someone used them perfectly but even then u would have to get a grab and the ice climbers dont have the best grab range and that kind of crap

TBH i know a few people who can do that, but they play against people who don't get grabbed as often, or atleast know how to space well. Great CGs thar but I wouldn't say people don't put enough effort into the IC's just cuz of that one vid :|

in my opinion ice climbers should be number one in the top tier because of their supreme chain grabs and teamwork.

♥Ohhhh.. .very good indeed! ^__^

♥Although.... the Olimar went right in there and one moment in the match, he went in w/o pikmin which made him lose one stock.

I wonder if the guy was even trying. I mean, he got grabbed way too many times and he attacked without Pikmin >_<.

Or there aren't enough people who put effort into it.

Usually I see people watching ICs CG and they simply want to do it because it looks
"broken," flashy, or fun.

Later they find out IC isn't all about CGs you practice in training mode and simply quit because in reality, they thought it was an easy way to win, through infinites. Watching them miss 50 grabs in a match isn't interesting.

:I

Then there are the few who persist on using them and eventually get past the first couple hurdles and can play them correctly.

I feel inspired.

I just don't get how Olimar, one of the campiest and most ranged in the game, gets grabbed without putting up a fight. He tried once, but he didn't even have any Pikman!

That's for me to know
I simply don't have the time to practice them. One hour a weekend isn't a lot. Also, I don't have any live players to practice them on. If I could get rid of these two problems, I could improve.
