INTRODUCTION

Goodness! Captain Olimar joins the fray with five colors of Pikmin in tow! He plucks Pikmin from the ground and they fight as his allies.

Without Pikmin, Olimar can’t even do a Smash Attack. And the short-lived Pikmin tend to scatter. Theirs is a fated symbiotic relationship.

Let's start things off on the right foot. He's called Pikmin AND Olimar for a reason. Aside from his dependency on Pikmin for most of his moves, if you want to become a truly great Olimar user, you must use your battalion to your full advantage, and with hundreds of line possibilities, you must stay on your mental toes. We'll talk more about knowing your Pikmin and your line later.

That aside, Olimar is one of the most specialized characters in the game, and he has incredible advantages going for him. His smashes cover a wide area, establishing a difficult-to-punish barrier of defense and offense. He has one of the, if not the, longest tether recoveries in the game (provided he has 6 pikmin). His grab IS the best in the game. His aerials are solid, powerful, quick to use, and have minimal lag. His combo potential is incredible. His toss is incredibly lengthy, and strategically placed Pikmin can absorb hits for Olimar. His tether allows for excellent edge-guard potential. He requires just over a second to bring his company from zero to maximum capacity. He's even equipped with a spike. Even without Pikmin, his non-pikmin attacks allow considerable combo ability and knockback, enough to serve the purpose to pluck more pikmin.

Covering the basics of Olimar, you will be a difficult foe already. However, this is not the beginning. To truly master the symbolic relationship between Pikmin and Olimar, you must fully understand the potential of the pikmin that follow him.

If you only have 1 pikmin in immediate command, you will only smash with one pikmin, going in front of you. Unlike the other 2 smashes, all pikmin have equal range. The first pikmin with head out in front of Olimar, while the second will run behind. Purple pikmin have more knockback. Yellow pikmin have slightly weaker knockback than red and blue. White is the weakest in terms of knockback. Power and knockback weakens as distance from Olimar increases. Optimal power when contact is felt while the Pikmin is closest to Olimar.

Uhhhh. What is this suppose to be...

....Character guide to Olimar, part un?

...I make my own guides...Why would I need one from another site?

Any comment on my current guides?

I assumed this was a community project, and thus, other submissions would be encouraged. A few other posts encouraged that.

If it isn't, well, take that and it'll lighten the load.

Nah. Sorry for the confusion. But I will use some of this info for my olimar guide.
