Pikmin are not impressed by Mario

As always, cape does weird stuff. I got a KO off of this glitch on netplay and neither of us had seen it before, so I decided to go into the lab to recreate it. Turns out if Olimar is caped during almost any part of his grab animation, the pikmin continues, even though Olimar has turned around, and it still has the grab box attached to it. This also makes controls for grabs very odd, since Fthrow will go in the opposite direction that Olimar points, and so on. It also leads to weird animation stuff, like Uthrow occurring behind Olimar sometimes.

TL;DR: Meta obviously obliterated, Unwinnable MU, r/mildlyinteresting, I have nothing better to do with my time apparently

Yes more shenanigans!

(Now where's that grab armor? Must have left is somewhere.)

awesome. This happened in netplay to me once, game was on pause for quite a while as we laughed and discussed. Cape is the jankiest fucking thing in this game.

I was playing with a friend, and we randomed to Shadow Moses Island, and I got a grab as Olimar as a pillar came out of the ground, pushing me up. My pikmin continued to hold my friend at ground level.

If you wavedash grab with olimar on the ice climber stage, your opponent will remain in the same spot, but olimar will continue to slide. It looks like olimar uses the force.

Once again, Olimar is the weirdest character in this game, but also the best.

Imagine the combo potential out of fthrow (and dthrow if that sends forward, idk).
