Thread listing. (Read this before making new threads!)

[DanGR]

This thread lists the useful threads in the Olimar boards. It seems like more and more threads are being created that have already been made and I'd like to volunteer to head a thread to help clean up the Olimar boards. If you don't mind, just post a link to a/an

Do
* Thread you found very helpful that's somewhat active.
* Olimar specific guide to something. (For example, my guide to camping.)

Don't
* Funny thread
* Useless thread
* One-time-event thread
* Thread you know will be locked

Tips/Rules
* Use common sense.
* Don't make threads about dumb stuff- even if it's not listed in here.

* Before you revive a topic, look to see if the thread is old or outdated. If you're not sure, then post in this thread and ask here; I'll be glad to assist you. Generally, if it's more than a month old, you should not post in it. If that's the case, there will be a small note at the bottom of the page to remind you that it's an old thread.

Note: DO NOT TAKE THIS THREAD AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT SEARCH.

~Thanks!

Obviously NC Echo's guide I read when I first picked up Oli but that's kind of obvious. Nice thread. And thanks for mentioning the fatal combo, but it's just neat, nowhere near important enough for what this thread could be for olimar

 

[Dotcom]

This needs a sticky XD
Gonna try to get the Player Finder back up and running.

 

[DanGR]

I never understood what was wrong with the player finder...

 

[Dr. Hyde]

wow I'm impressed with the organization of all this info.

wow...

um I honestly think that this deserves a sticky to help people find their way around the forum and to get feel for how Olimar plays when they are learning him.

I actually thought this build a counter strategy thread was really good. It might not be a bad idea to get it updated with anything new that's out there about Olimar.

Pluck you! Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6iKPrlygVQ

(and when the video is completed) for the montage section!

It is incredible against EVERYONE if you know the percents!! Good to see someone plug me in here :D

 

[DanGR]

I'll make a combo section I guess. I'm not sure if I'd call it a "guide" per say. I mean, it's good to know, but it's not real complicated or nothin.

 

[WhoseReality?]

Are you planning on changing the name of this thread to something that describes what it is?

 

[DanGR]

err...I guess I could. What would you suggest? Maybe "Links to all the useful threads, Read before posting!"

 

[Jadedlink]

Don't know if its useful, but my thread about different olimar techniques. Its in my sig.

 

[OlimarFan]

Here's a pretty decent guide I found on Brawl Central:

[DanGR]

Sweet, We don't have the most posts of any character board now! Mission accomplished. (Marth passed us just recently)

Edit: Anyone have any threads they'd like to add that I missed?

 

[Excellence]

Nope, you're good DanGR.

 

[Dyyne]

I realize there hasn't been a post in here for a while, but it's a sticky, so it's not like I'm "unnecessarily bumping this thread".

Put these threads on the list as well, and maybe take off some of the kinda pointless threads in it.

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=210314 AndyG's secondary for olimar discussion. A very good thread, I think.

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=203066 My thread about his chaingrab. It didn't get much discussion, but I think it is a very useful reference source. (I think some of them may be a bit inaccurate though)

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=208193 My thread about stage discussion. I made this to analyze each stage individually, and in depth.

 

[DanGR]

Ok guys. I took out the very old threads and updated it with a couple new ones.

I erased all the old videos as well, so if you want me to add links to some videos, just post them here.
Make sure the videos are after 12/17/08

 

[Llumys]

I think we should update this thread. There's a few things we could add, like general discussions we've had lately on the board.

[kirbywizard]

wow this thread is just win, so organized

 

[EtherealKing]

Tee hee you added my thread.

 

[Dabuz]

replace my old stage CP thread with the new one

 

[Llumys]

This needs an update.

 

[Jane]

i love this thread.

 

[Denti]

would it be okay if i started a neutral striking and picking strategy thread? or would i need more less or would it just be irelevant?

 

[Llumys]

I think someone's already re-starting stage discussing. Striking and banning is included in that topic.

 

[DanGR]

Hilt mentioned that he was probably going to start a stage discussion thread sometime. I'd ask him about it.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

Stage discussion thread will be up tomorrow, probably in the morning. I probably won't sleep tonight so I'll start it then. I'm not sure if we should start with the discussion of the stages in order, starting with the neutrals, or if we should go a different route. I'll think about it tonight.

 

[Llumys]

I think we should go by stages that give out the most purples. (:

 

[Denti]

sounds good hilt! just wondering why we didn't have a stage discussion thread, i find stages SUPEr important in winning a match up. i'm a battlefield fanboy, i always do well there. well off to talk abotu stages there! :D

 

[Llumys]

Marth.

That is all.

 

[Denti]

lol take marth to FD instead, he is a special expection.. and so is MK and a few others lololol


I have a question on a thread i'd like to see if anyone would find interesting. a thread about olimar tricks. it would show in videos to make sure everyone understand in full detail the situations. let me give some examples of what i mean.

for an OLI trick it would be stuff along the lines of the pluck filtering at the side of the stage to get rid of all reds, yellows and blues so your line is all whites and purples.

another one would be something i noticed about frigate. on the 2nd form of frigate, i had my enemy grabbed as it was transforming to its original form and back threw them and as the stage flipped they got stuck underneath the stage and got gimped and died and i won

I would search for new tricks and what not all the time and I'd be willing to test out certain tricks others would recommend. The whole real reason for this thread idea is to keep OLI in the Meta with new tricks and stuff to fear against our captain

I remember the days where there was a natural selection thread every other week, and it made me rage....
