I don't care at all about my win loss ratio. It's about learning and improving. A loss can a good thing, if you get bodied and you don't understand why, save and study the replay. If I dominate too many games I actually feel worse about ending my session because I do for glory to improve, not win.

I'll agree about Sonic since he is the epitome of aggro and a defensive sonic is a gimped sonic. But falcon on the other hand I see more of an opportunist that has some sick punish options and can be played defensively pretty effectively.

The balance of Smash 4 is so well done for such a huge cast of characters and heavies are absolutely brutal and if played properly can absolutely WRECK "top tier" characters. I would not be surprised at all if after several big tournaments we see several heavy/slow characters in the top echelons...

Playing a defensive/attrition based game =/= standing there for the majority of the game. Any projectile based character will wreck someone who is being overly stationary and it's not terrible difficult to mind game people into a hard read smash or grab when they are being too defensive. I think...

Hey, thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. I just have to be more disciplined with Olimar when it comes to going for the grab. There's definitely a pretty steep learning curve due to the micro-management of Pikmin and the different applications of each but each game I play I really feel like I'm...

Try to focus on having fun and the nerves will fade. One thing I like to do, which probably only applies to training online is blasting some heavy melodic death metal as I toss my pikmin around, my win rate skyrockets and I never choke! lol

It really depends on Nintendo, but so far it seems like they want to help the competitive community this time around rather than completely ignoring it. That being said I think it's definitely possible. All new competitive games should be given a chance and this one happens to have a huge...

Bruh, never give up. Losing only makes you stronger. Get in the mindset of losing being a good thing and learn from it, save your replays, learn WHY you lose. You need the fighting spirit!! Add me on NNID samoht45 and let's spar together sometime!

I will say, that as an Olimar main, the ability to play defensive and being evasive is an integral part of the game. Opinions may vary but I think defensive options add a lot of strategic depth to the gameplay. I love playing all characters and I believe each character has a certain optimal play...

that's basically what I try to do as well so I guess I have the right idea and just need to git gud. but man... that bomb splash really aggravates me, it seems like such a large hitbox on it. and this toon link I was playing I swear had the best angling on his projectiles he could literally get...

I was wondering does anyone have any general tips when going for the grab with Olimar? I often find myself missing a grab and that alone can lose me a match from the punishment I receive. I'm pretty sure this comes down to just practicing the grab range but I find myself missing the grab with...

I have been having the most trouble vs Toon link... Spam projectiles constantly and give me no time to breathe or get any damage in, so I have to run away constantly all the while dodging bombs, boomerangs and arrows on top of my pikmin dying from the barrage as well... If I get smashed or...

I for one welcome patches. It's such a refreshing thing to see for a Nintendo game. Patching improves games over time, regardless of what people initially think in their nerf rage... and the meta game can shift accordingly, it's actually really unusual for a competitive game to not be patched...

Can anybody please confirm stuff for Olimar for me I beg of you. Only thing I know is 100% confirmed is pikmin latch damages change and well buffed for white one. But the other stuff like smash range I read some conflicting reports. Please halp

This is great. I really hope the pikmin AI/desyncing problems are confirmed fix cause that's the worst thing. I may have noticed a an increase in pikmin return speed with whistle, but this could be placebo effect or just visual, cannot confirm.
