While Olimar and his Pikmin may be able to string together some good comboes, people keep forgetting one major disadvantage: Olimar can't do anything without his Pikmin! All he can do with no Pikmin is tilts, his neutral combo, and his neutral aerial. With only five moves in his arsenal, Olimar will surely get owned by other characters. Also, he's tremendously easy to edge-guard because a Tether Recovery is his only option. Just grab the edge! And, when he has no Pikmin, Olimar can't use his up special to recover at all. Overall, playing as Olimar is too risky. I suggest you get good with Meta Knight, Pit, or someone like that. - [[User:GalaxiaD|GalaxiaD]] 19:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

Can anyone give me a few simple tips with getting good with olimar? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.98.66 (talk • contribs) 01:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Always have 6pikmin before charging in. When more than 2 die, charge out. Olimar's running A move is one of his best moves. Olimar has some of the best throws and grabs. Use them. Olimar's >B has further range than his smash, and, in my opinion, is better. White pikmin tend to do the most damage. Purple pikmin do best knockback. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.116.46 (talk • contribs) 13:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Keep in mind that the Pikmin Throw leaves Pikmin vulnerable for attack. Use it in combination with other moves. Also, the Pikmin Chain can work as a nice edge guarding move, in some cases. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pikamander2 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
