I absolutely hate PIRATE SHIP.

Okay, so I was in an Online tournament, in the finals of the finals, it was the last match, tied up 2-2. We were both on our last stock. (Yes this is real, no I am not making these details up to add dramatic effect) I got him to about 90% while I was still at 0% (I was olimar, he was wario)
I was this close to killing him, guess what happened next?

-fling-

GAME.

Stupid catapult.

It was a banned stage tournament. D:
</3 that stage.

such a travesty... the worst part is that it only kills lightweight charaters at low percentages. If the Wario were flung off the catapault, then he would've probably lived. Bad luck!

If you want, I can help get you some plane tickets to go kick the crap out of Sakurai if you wish...
Sakurai, you...you....lol.

Don't forget to trip him while you're there.

Sorry bout that situation dude, crap happens sometimes.

Yowz. Well that's the risk that you take when you fight near the catapult... Still, it killed you at 0%ish? That seems a little-

Oh. That explains why I've survived the thing at 33% then, I've never played as a lighter character than Sonic on that stage. Oooook then, that does blow chunks.

I think it has the same knockback on 0% as any other percent

Wow, I would pull out my hair if that happened to me.

Then I'd have a good laugh and wish for my hair back...

I didn't think the catapult could kill at zero percent.
In fact, come to think of it, I've never seen it kill at all. (maybe that's just because I don't play pirate ship much.)

You can just sheild the catapult, even if your standing right on top of it. Its not too hard to spot either, but then again, I've never been in a match in a tournament or anything.

But still, its easily avoided. EASILY!

It kills anyone lighter then I think Kirby? at 0%, but you can DI it and not be killed unless your around 40% I think? I never play lightweights, I love my heavies.

It's probably easy to get caught up in all the intense brawling. :laugh:

I know I've been distracted in fights and got catapaulted to oblivion, it isn't hard to get killed by that thing when you're distracted. And when you randomly get launched, you're just like...whoa. Then you die.

Its really fun to CG someone or throw someone into it, People rarely DI out of it oddly enough. The best one I've done though is getting them drowned or spiked by the ship :), The catapult is stilll awesome though. And I HAVE seen that thing launch bomb-ombs, Good thing I was using Chomp...

Just get over it, Barge. There's always the next tournament. Besides, I think I've only been killed by the catapult like 3 times since I got Brawl, and i have been playing it alot.

the best possible solution for the catapult would be to DI, other than that, I really wouldn't consider playing on Pirate Ship at all.

You guys DO know that Olimar is actually a mid-weight, right? He looks like a lightweight, but he's really not (or at least not like Pikachu or G&W).

And I've gotten catapulted at 0% as Oli, too. I DI'd and survived, though I'm sure one could easily panic and forget to DI when it happens... Still a john, though.
