Forum:Do you think Olimar is a good or bad character?
It has come to my attention that a handful of people think Olimar is a weak character. After taking a look at a few of the tier list I noticed that he was at the bottom, I'm not complaining or anything but I think he's a great character and tournament worthy. I'm really good with him and find only a few cons about him, but I want to know what you guys think! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Olimar usr (talk • contribs) 09:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I really like Olimar, on my rankings he's at number 6, though I will be making a change to that shortly that will likely have him drop down to 10. Dexington (talk) 15:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I honestly think he's bad. Edge-guarding him is easy, unless he has a Purple Pikmin up front. Still, even if he does get a Purple Pikmin, it might take some time to put it up front. Don't get me wrong, I think Olimar is pretty good at holding his own when he's got Pikmin, but he only has six moves to use without them. I think this: when he has Pikmin, he's average. When he has no Pikmin, he's definitely bad. Just my opinion though. - GalaxiaD (talk) 22:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I prefer to think of him, like many other characters, as a fighter to get used to. If you play as him you need to know the range, power, and knockback. You also need a good amount of luck when playing as him but overall i would say he is middle tier to one of the highest low tier characters.Cree318 (talk) 22:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
He's amazingly powerful for a fighter his size and weight. He only gets a few points marked off for that horrid recovery.SonicROBTrainer (talk) 00:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I like Olimar as a character. He does need some getting used to, and his recovery is pretty awful, but I think this guy is at least a high middle-low character (blech.) But when it comes to multiplayer matches, I think he stinks. Heh.Maxiscool (talk) 23:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Olimar is good it just takes time to get used to him. On my tier list he is first or secondMr.Christie (talk) 00:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
He is a good character if your good as him, and for that matter, ANY character can be top on someones teir list IF they are good as that character. Tiers are basically someones elaborate opinions on the characters. If someone is highly skilled, then any character is good for them. But either way, Olimar is a good character, not fair, he's good, and his Final smash is powerful, better then Marth's on smaller stages. Learner4 (talk) 17:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
i think hes pretty week but i kinda blame myself for not trying to learn how to use his pikmin
