SSBB - Strategize - Pikmin

[Chariloe]

I'm gonna be honest and say I hate killing pikmin, I use them all and it works just fine for me. my favs are all of em, I mean how can i choose? they have their own unique ablillities that help out depending on your situation. olimar ftw :]

[smbzfan1]

ITS OLIMAR NOT OLIMER....GAHHHHHHHHHH.

[jspade1019]

Genocide is a trick now?

[Joeyst3]

Rawr, i only do singles and doubles..

[seirdo]

Blue ones are the best for b-throws and f-airs.

[yourname13able]

purple ones are def not the best ones... the red ones are the only ones with a decent meteor smash. and the yellows have the best up smash while in the air... the only thing the white ones are good for is throwing at your opponent. and they have such a weak health pool that they die before you get em back...

[HGClark]

@yourname13able purple and yellow have better meteor smashes, or at least a bigger hit box

[DXTinho]

P.S.: Somehow, I'm getting the feeling the "importance of pikmin" displayed in this video is completely random...if this trick would only allow the red and blue pikmin to survive, they'd probably be the most important ones...

[DXTinho]

Sorry but I strongly disagree with this. Used correctly, all Pikmin have an equal value in Olimar's overall-game.

Why would someone abandon the blue ones, for god's sake?! They appear to have the 2nd longest grab range in the whole game, as well as a significant kill potencial in all throws.

[lint789]

purple may be the worst one...

[ShadyRush]

When thrown at foe, red one makes fire damage, yellow makes electric damage and blue slaps foe. White ones make poison damage which hits extremely hard, especially when about 3-4 white Pikmins are at foe. Purple ones don't fly so far, but they're make big damage and lauch foes far.

Also red Pikmin resists fire, blue resists water (I think) and yellow resists electric attacks.

They also have some other differences, but I don't remember.

[Mackster44]

Their launch arches are different. Yellow arches high, blue and red go a nice distance, white goes REALLY far and fast, purple is short range.

[aurafox1]

lol pimp slap

[Tacobff]

Red ones have the strongest spike, then purple, then blue, then yellow, then white. Yellow ones come from metal platforms most often. Blue ones come from water based things like clouds or ice. I forgot about red one :P

[zackolot]

@ShadyRush The type of damage isn't even half of it. Depending on the pikmin, the knockback and damage of the smash, the grabs, and the aerials change. For example red ones half the biggest meteor smash. I think you can find the others from some brawl wiki around the web...

[ShadyRush]

@zackolot

Thanks for your more precise description. I'm not too much of a deep analyzer myself.

Although in more casual games one only needs to know that white Pikmin deal much damage when latched on an enemy and purple's dont fly too far but hit very hard. :P

I wonder if Olimar even is played competitive... I think he has great potential.

[joshpat9]

._.

Red: Fire damage (when hit with and when thrown), highest power

Yellow: Flies far, longest reach, largest hitboxes, electric damage

Blue: Highest launching potential, deadly when used in grabs

Purple: Extremely durable, high physical damage, but low reach

White: Easily killed, deals extreme poison damage when thrown and when pummeling, flies very far

[narutofan9423]

wow...you need to play more

[TheGoodGuy48]

nothing

[ElWeyChingon]

cool thnx

[SuperDawgE]

interesting

[tamoo99]

If i had a choice, I wouldnt have white or purple in there at all. I would only welcome purples at higher percents, and whites i just chuck at the opponent

[91893pray]

i don't value purples at all. if i have more than 2, i throw em away. they disrupt my expectation for olimars range (F-SMASH!!) and they mess up a lot of combos for me. they're useful to me only for buying more camping time if they're thrown, and to stop edgehoggers. whites, i use for pikmin throw mostly.

i value reds most.

i guess your most useful pikmin depends on your opponent's character and playstyle, but this is my anarchy:

red>yellow>blue>white>purple.

[gigaguy101]

whites are also have the strongest pummel. and i have seen lots of players pull off like 5-8 pummels (not with olimar ive seen) on human players (CPUs are very hard to pummel)

[smashmaster224]

I like yellow and purple the best.

[Zxcman5]

for me i like the yellow ones the best

[gasser47]

imo i think that blues are best for grabs and for that ice climber stage(when the water comes the others die)

purple/yellows/whites for throw

red for attacks

[PkMn12793]

i made that list fro mmy experiance at the time, and as long as its poseteed you can reply any thing i dont knwo on it, makeing an even bettr list then the vid!

(NOTE TO SELF: copy and paste on another more popular vid)

[PkMn12793]

the 5 pikmin and there atributes

1.red- a little more powerfull cuz of ther pointed nose's imune to fire, and do fire damadge in brawl,

2.yellow- do to there ear shape they fly higher then normal,imune to electric damege

and also do electric damege, in pikmin 1 ther insted where youd demolition crew do to there ther abillity to handle bomb rocks (not done yet, going to reply to myself and contin-u)

[PkMn12793]

3.blue-there amphibes like frogs and do water damadge all others drown :( so handy in water based stages/charictors

4.ivory/white- imune to poison and are lighter and more aerodynamic then there breathen, and are fused with poison and damage thows whom try to ingest or eat them

and there-by do poison damage and finaly

5. vilot/perpols-10x strounger then there puny

counter-parts and make shockwaves opon impact

due to there large bulk,in brawl i find them quite useless,

[PkMn12793]

i hope this breff gide helps you

the trick is to know the who,what,when,where and why, to ballance them

and also olimar is a good carictor but like in the pikmin series relies hevaly on his pikmin,but like evry 1 else you just need to know how to use him, if this helps let me know

sorry for the typos i can't spell for crap

and if it doesn't help you, well it might not be the info you need,

and if you reply, reply only to this message

of private message me.

[PkMn12793]

and don't send me any "you have no life"

messages or any thing like that

and i only know all this cuz i have pikmin 1

and SSBB

besides i can olways deleat them or mark them as spam if you do.

SSBB ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Geekmann]

Purple is actually best for anything phisical that Olimar uses Pikmin for, like Smashes and grab attacks.

[MetaKnight345]

Blue pikmin are also pretty handy for grab attacks, because they have a longer grabbing range than the other ones.

[demonxanith]

Yeah red pikmin do fire damage yellow shock you white poison you purple like a rock flying at your face

[Pikmin42]

I wouldn't say the white and purple are the best.

[s3aman]

white pikmin sux

[PointeurCsc]

Try this: go in training, take 6 whites pikmins (it can be long) and trow them on your opponent as faster as you can. the computer will take up to 250 dmg.

Whites Pikmins are really good in throwing

[s3aman]

yea but its really annoying wen u try to kill da opponent but u hit dem with a white one

[PointeurCsc]

so true.. Cpt Olimar isnt a deep gaming caracter.. too much random

(random smashs, worst UpB in the game...) I still like it

[s3aman]

yea olimars still good

[theguycalledchris]

Not WORST UpB, there are worse tether recoveries (As long as you have more than 3 pikmin, but any player with a good amount of skill can keep their Pikmin)

[silverhalo117]

The electric and fire are the best I think. For spiking and hitbox range.

[LavaEdge324]

Red and yellow are better imo...

[brawlitup]

imo? dont you mean lmao?

[Geekmann]

IMO means "in my opinion".

[Karan13]

IMO= In My Opinion

[pearsalled]

Such a horrible strategy...why the hell do you want only the purple and white...blue is far more important then those two, and every single color is important as well...besides from grab range, the white ones are pretty bad...easy to knock off to prevent poison damage, purple has no range either...I much rather have all blue, red and yellow...

[orangevertigo]

nice strategy

[FaraFright]

Ooh, first comment.

I never knew that, It'll be interesting to see their faces!

Well, considering I play tourney style, I'll only get this chance during 2 v 2 matches =\

[mcnichoj18]

Let me tell you this is a horrible strategy.

The purple ones are so bad, think of them as like a non-kill smash move, you can't grapple with them.

Very funny, you gimp your own recovery. xD
