    Thank you for the guide man. I've been wanting to pick up Olimar as he's part of my absolute favorite games series but for some reason I've never decided to try and main him until now. These tips and tricks are very useful!

    Might learn at a later date but not keen on micromanaging colors while getting stabbed by fire emblem characters. I think Olimar is definitely a character to play once you are VERY good at the game already.

    the pikmin you need depend on your character (by what i learned)
    2 purple and 1 blue: useful overall, allows for stronger attacks and throw high% combo starters at lower%
    3 reds: useful when you cant do enough damage to a character with purples and they have fire attacks
    2 blues and 1 red: useful against characters that are bad at close range
    3 purples: useful for racking up damage at medium range and to edgeguard
    2 whites and 1 blue: useful when you need to get a grab on someone

    Surprising to see that people wanted to see a guide for Olimar, seeing that he’s the least played character in smash. Guess people wanted to try a new character for once, unlike me, who only uses Ness, Lucas, Greninja, and Olimar since smash 4. But then again you can tell by the list that I and a few other people who also main Olimar already beat the people who finally want to try Olimar out to mastering the character.
    Edit: Nevermind. I just realized that Olimar is still the least played character. Thanks to you all who main the character, though. He may seem bad to normal Smash players but the majority of the people who main him think he has potential.

    Hi Myran. When you say blue is +70% for grabs, is it more the more blue pikmin you have in a grab, since they all grab now?

    • @MyranSSB
      @MyranSSB  5 років тому

      It's only the first one in the line. The 70% increase is for when you grab with a blue as the first pikmin. Grabbing with 2 or 3 pikmin only adds a few percent of damage.

    The vocab you use in this video would only be familiar to someone who already plays him.
    Change the title, this isn't a beginner guide.

      What about this doesn't come off as a beginners guide? Also I'd like to point out that this is new a brand new to smash bros guide. But a new to playing Olimar while having a basic understanding of smash guide.

      @@MyranSSB yeah. I'm not new to smash. I've been playing since 64 was new. I came here to learn Olimar and what his moves do because he's confusing as hell. This does not explain him or his moves at all. It refers to them as if you already know what they area nd explains nothing unless you already understand Olimar. Intermediate, maybe. Definitely not beginner.
      It tells you the bonuses each of his Pikmins get, but not how those are applied, what moves those bonuses apply to, how to throw them, how to anything, what his b moves do, NOTHING. What do you mean what about this doesn't come off as a beginner guide? NONE of it comes off as a beginner guide. You must not see that for the same reason it's not a beginner guide. It is made without consideration for the perspective of someone who hasn't played Olimar ... Which is what beginner means.

      @@effie8547 Well I made my guide with the assumption that you have at least chosen the character once or can choose him and see his moves. I even say in the video that the guide will be simple. I have other videos breaking down certain topics more. I also go over the Pikmin attributes and when I do that it explains what moves they affect.
      I think you just have a different view of beginner and that's fine. This guide wasn't for you. But for what is there I think it does it well enough. I have some other videos on the channel that can help break certain things down more though if you're still looking.

      @@MyranSSB I picked him like 10 times. Got frustrated. Went to youtube to find newb guides. Yours is on top and taught me nothing, because it isn't for beginners. I don't know who it is for because it is simple, but it doesn't explain anything that a new Olimar player can use. It assumes you know all of his moves, which is NOT what "beginner" means. Begin. You just began. As in you don't know his moves. That's what I am. It's frustrating to watch a video labeled beginner and learn nothing because the entire video assumes that I know how to do his moves and what they all do and are named. I don't. Because I'm a beginner Olimar player.
