Just play to see what works.

I've wanted to try Olimar with Sonic, because it seems like it might work. :) Tell me if it works for you.

Your Olimar can rack up quick damage while his Marth goes for the kills. Marth also has better recovery options than Olimar with a quick and powerful Up-B and a Side-B that gives him vertical height, so he could conserve his stocks for you to use when edgehogged.

Depends on your style, and his.

Olimar can stock tank on tiny stages pretty well if you know how to super armor.

please. dont talk about team pairings anymore. every single dam pairing threads so far thinks "their team is the best" thats not the case.

unlike in 1v1s tiers do not present themselves as bluntly as in teams.
because of this few can say what is the "best team"

pretty much any team with with similiar structures (aka combinations like damage racker-Finisher) are pretty much the Same in a tier listing.

there is no point in arguing whats the best team combo

Ice climbers are horrible in teams in my experiance. No chaingrabs and its twice as easy for them to gangrape nana. Anyway, I'd say Lucas/Falco or Marth/Olimar.

Olimar's a great team character. Marth, Falco, and Wolf are, to an extent. So probably Olimar/Marth or Olimar/Falco. Maybe Wolf/Falco.

But if one of you could get good with Ness or Lucas, they both make really good partners.

The reason I wanted to see Olimar/Sonic is that it could work. Sonic's job is to run around the stage, racking up damage and keeping opponents from gimping Olimar. Olimar's job is to kill.

I don't think my team is the best I was just asking which team combination would work the best.

also my partner has changed, my new partner uses Toon Link

but I'm thinking the concept of Olimar/Marth would work for a Olimar/TL team too?

I'll go ask in the Olimar discussion thread

wow, when I saw this thread, I thought you said team parrying, like marth's downb>other marth's downb>other marth's downb. I got kinda frightened, and realized it's impossible. :)

Isn't Olimars job to rack up damage, you know as support? I suppose that could work but it kind of switches around Olimar, but that doesn't mean Olimar is forbidden to KO and must only throw Pikmin for damage the entire match =\

You think Wario would be a good partner for Olimar? Wario keeps them out of the air, but Olimar pressures them to go into it.

that's an interesting idea there. I'd say that Olimar pressures them to go into the air and Olimar racks in the air, and I think another great character with good ground game that pushes people upwards would be a great match for Olimar. Maybe MK, Pit, Sonic, and Marth (pressures the jump well)

Edit: Diddy?

Diddy with Olimar? Mind Games galore :O that actually sounds pretty good, how do you stop a barrage of Pikmin and Bananas? you'll trip and then have a Pikmin latch onto you, giving you damage and leaving you open for combos.

It depends on your playstyle and your partner's. If you're teaming with a Sonic, your kill moves are better than any of his, so you'll probably get the majority of the kills. And having a partner with kill moves covers one of Sonic's weak points. Having a fast partner covers one of Olimar's weak points.

Ganon and CF, go punches! :D Haha, kidding.

Olimar and Sonic do not like a good combo to me (omgwtfx comin at me? D: ). They both don't really have finishers (unless you play Olimar in the air :D ), and they're both a bit unreliable to me. I'd say use Lucas or Ness and just pound them in the air. Make em afraid of challenging you in the sky, but then make em see the chain saw-like ball of Sonic making them not wanna stay on the ground (someone said this already, lulz). A Marth/Lucas team works great in my head. Marth hogs most of the action with his range. When he misses or gets knocked away, let Lucas take over with aerials and keep the pressure going. One of my favorites is Ness or Lucas as a recovery helper when FF is on with their pk thunder. :D
