'''Nolimar''' (also known as '''Solimar''' or '''Lolimar''') refers to the practice of using {{SSBB|Olimar}} without any Pikmin, either due to losing Pikmin from being KO'd or by choosing to play the entire match with no Pikmin.
'''Nolimar''' refers to a fighting style in which one plays as [[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]] without using any [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. Nolimar can also refer to the character himself, such as in the context "I was playing as Nolimar," meaning "I was playing as Olimar with no Pikmin."


==Effectiveness==
Playing without Pikmin results in Olimar having no smash attacks, only one aerial attack, no grabs or throws, and no fully functional special attacks aside from [[End of Day|his Final Smash]]. That said, Olimar's tilts are capable of KO'ing opponents, and [[Pikmin Order]]'s [[launch resistance]] is intact to aid in surviving, so it is possible (albeit highly unlikely) to defeat opponents as Nolimar.


Although undeniably a less effective strategy than playing with Pikmin, it is not completely ineffective. Without Pikmin, Olimar is limited to only eight moves: his [[neutral attack]] combo; his [[forward tilt|forward]], [[down tilt|down]] and [[up tilt]]s; his [[neutral aerial]]; his [[dash attack]]; [[Pikmin Order|his down special]]; and [[End of Day|his Final Smash]]. Even with only these eight moves, Olimar can still KO opponents; his forward and down tilts have enough [[knockback]] to kill opponents with moderately high damage. His [[down special move]] can give him [[launch resistance]] if used at the right time, helping him to survive longer. His [[Final Smash]] is still immensely powerful. He can still use his up special move, but it only gives him a tiny hop.
Intentionally playing as Nolimar can be compared to [[SoPo|playing only one Ice Climber]].
 
==Other Names==
 
Other names for this gameplay style as "Solimar", a combination of "solo" and "Olimar". "LOLimar" or "Lolimar" is also another way to refer to this strategy, a combination of the acronym "lol" (short for "laughing out loud") and "Olimar".

Nolimar (also known as Solimar or Lolimar) refers to the practice of using Olimar without any Pikmin, either due to losing Pikmin from being KO'd or by choosing to play the entire match with no Pikmin.

Playing without Pikmin results in Olimar having no smash attacks, only one aerial attack, no grabs or throws, and no fully functional special attacks aside from his Final Smash. That said, Olimar's tilts are capable of KO'ing opponents, and Pikmin Order's launch resistance is intact to aid in surviving, so it is possible (albeit highly unlikely) to defeat opponents as Nolimar.

Intentionally playing as Nolimar can be compared to playing only one Ice Climber.
