[@ritter3723]

Granted this was likely made before Pikmin 4, but I feel like moss, rock, and ice Pikmin should be brought up (glow Pikmin are only at night, so it doesn’t reallly matter). ice Pikmin can freeze enemies upon being eaten, which would have been a huge edge for olimar, as plant doesn’t have any ice immunity, and rock Pikmin are rocks and could likely do some damage to plant. Also, the white Pikmin acid isn’t poison, it’s ACID, which isn’t toxic, it’s corrosive, and something that can burn through steel could likely burn through plant or his pipe.

Both Death Battle and Smash Bracket have done it to Link, twice each, and now Smash Bracket is doing it again with Piranha plant and I'm just so done with this compositing.

[@maximumforce8275]

@@3eve0n same here bro....like how is that fair some get "composite" and others don't? Doesn't it break your rules? What's the difference between that character and the other that's pretty much the same situation that didn't get a "composite"? Although I thought of one sole reason for this. Olimar gets his entire pikmin army while piranha plant gets a single plant but its all in one. Thing is tho....same could apply to other fighters too that don't really get "composite" versions as they are part of a big species but don't 3ven get their entire species to help. So even that point kinda falls flat. And I came up with that rebuttal to my own point which makes the most sense as a counter to mine.

[@vslazer6728]

I knew exactly how this battle would go, but I’m at least happy that Olimar made it out alive in the post-credit scene, he has a family to get back to after all.

[@ritter3723]

I hate to break it to you, that’s based off Pikmin 1s bad ending where olimar fucking dies. Basically oxygen is poisonous to olimar species, and his life support runs out in the first game, so he gets taken to the onion by the Pikmin and gets turned into a Pikmin. As shown in Pikmin 4, creatures with leaves can’t leave the planet without dying, so yeah.

Joker will not kill under basically any circumstances as far as I’m aware, same with Sonic, so Fox and Snake are safe. Lucas has been pretty relevant to the story so far, I know he didn’t die, obviously Olimar is alive, and I don’t remember what happened to Inceneroar. I’m almost certain Villager is alive. Those are all the fights that I’ve seen that I could list off the top of my head, I know I’m missing a couple like K Rool. As you can see for the most part, however, there have been pretty little deaths so far.

[@litessbu]

@@Shyontheinternet99 The issue there is, I don’t see Sephiroth making it all the way. He almost certainly going to end up in top 8 yes, but there are just other fighters that simply outclass him, my main though here being Joker, although I really don’t want this to get into a petty argument on if Sephiroth is the strongest so if you disagree then just tell me and we can both walk away like adults.

"Olimar lived on Hocotate with his wife, his daughter, and his son Smolimar. No, I'm not making that up, it's real." ...It literally isn't, though. funny how you used fan renders for all three characters, too.

[@GamingTopTen]

When I heard that you were going to let Olimar use thousands of Pikmin, I was pretty sure he had it in the bag. Having 100 Pikmin makes you feel invincible, imagine 10,000 of them. I guess once you compile all the piranha plants into one, they can cover each others weaknesses and become quite the formidable opponent. It'd be interesting to see Olimar fight Pichu or Isabelle, though, something or someone that doesn't have a counter for every Pikmin type but still has the size advantage. Ain't no way a Greninja gonna beat 10,000 blue Pikmin.

[@finaldusk1821]

The Pokémon would at least stand a decent chance with their experience, stat advantages, and crazy utility. But a non-combatant like Isabelle taking on that many Pikmin? Now that is a 'fight' I need to see!

I only saw two inaccuracies and I came to the characters 1. Olimar has yellow eyes (this one might not be well known but still) 2.

[@ritter3723]

@@floatingf8783what about the gadgets like the lightning blast or the paralyzing Pikmin carrots?

[@russellglass2837]

And what about rock pikmin and other things like mines and tracking bombs and such. Olimar has so many options yet they only gave him like half. While they gave piranha plant literally everything. I don’t know it just seems unfair, like they already knew who they wanted to win and then only gave each fighter what they would need in order to get that outcome. If olimar had access to all of his options he probably could’ve won given time to strategize and think things through like he has with other opponents. Plant is just a plant, it probably can’t think and strategize like olimar can and olimar would definitely be able to capitalize off that. Being able to outsmart the piranha plant and ultimately, while battered and bruised come out on top. Plus unless the piranha plant has a ship part inside of it or was blocking the way to a ship part olimar would just run away rather than risk pikmin lives and death. He has a family and only wants to get back to them. He wouldn’t want to risk that for the chance to fight something that could kill him in a single breath unless he absolutely had to. Once that first wave of pikmin deaths happened olimar probably would have just ran away and regrouped. And if it then had a part olimar would then strategize and comeback after he thought things through. While the whole riding on top of a can lid thing was super epic it probably wasn’t the best strategical move, and he likely wouldn’t have made it if it were truly canonical and accurate to his character. Like for instance while riding the lid he is shown using a spicy spray, which makes no sense. He had no pikmin with him and it doesn’t affect himself either, olimar would’ve never wasted such a thing like that. Again showing how they didn’t properly portray olimar’s logical and strategic side. While it is still a cool fight it is heavily flawed in how they portrayed the fighters and with what they gave them. All in all, I wish they could’ve done it differently.

[@lasercraft32]

I think you need to rethink your calculations... Purple Pikmin weigh 10x that of a normal Pikmin, and Olimar can lift and throw Purple Pikmin at blinding fast speeds with EASE. He's way stronger than he looks.

it’s not the outcome a lot of us would have liked, but the buildup and pay off was simply spectacular. I think the problem with a lot of “VS” series, is that the characters don’t get to be characters. There just move sets. The beauty of series like this is that characters who would never get to interact, get to interact. And so far, the characters have been handles super well (even if they do sometimes die in brutal ways in the end…) It leaves me wanting more: like how the phantom thieves would react to olimar, or how snake would try to take down meta Ridley.

I feel Purple Pikmin sending shockwaves to reach beings residing in other dimensions, Ice Pikmin being cold enough to freeze water at an instant, Rock Pikmin being shown to withstand the crushing force of the Quaggled Mireclops with ease and Glow Pikmin unable to truly die has some crazy implications for Olimar’s wider arsenal.

@@ultim8lifeform697 You could make that argument but I still feel like Nintendo considers it completely separate from the “main” mario canon judging by how they never bring any characters from those games into the vaguely canon spin-offs (sports and kart)

[@ultim8lifeform697]

@@RinZDR Yeah it’s admittedly a little funky but they’re still official titles of the Mario franchise. I don’t think something necessarily needs to appear in a future mainline title to solidify its canonicity. I’d moreso be looking for something that contradicts them being canon than the other way around.

"dang that fire took a long time to kill that pikmin, it must be really weak" "dang that piranha plant instantly melted that ice it's fire must be really hot" "no what is ultra spicy spray?" "might as well give this piranha plant the power of every plant that's ever lived, it's only fair" You talk about how plant has many things to counter olimar, but olimar has just as many, if not more ways to counter plant. Pikmin take a while to die from fire and can be saved just by whistling, yellows are immune to pretty much all electricity based attacks like the gun and all other pikmin just get stunned, again curable by the whistle. I don't think I saw olimar throw a single pikmin ignoring purple's OP stunning ability: kzbin.infoOIdZrTB3rwM (also killing them all in the first 5 seconds). All the pikmin types can carry bombs, the winged pikmin could have been raining fire the whole battle. You didn't use any of the suit upgrades, YOU DIDN'T EVEN USE THE ANTI ELECTRIFIER, YOU KNOW, THE THING THAT MAKES CAPTAINS IMMUNE TO ELECTRICITY BASED ATTACKS. You didn't explain where you got that huge speed for the plant. Also I don't know if this was a stylistic choice or not but lots of the pikmin were not flowered (which would buff their speed). the animation is fire though.

[@skorupigo5544]

@@floatingf8783 The potency of the fire was never measured, ink argued the fire that effects pikmin is weaker than the fire used to melt the ice because the pikmin took to long to die from it (literally a durability feat), I argued that the ice in the mario universe has a lower melting point to call this out. Even if the plant attempts to use fire olimar would use red pikmin and his flame guard suit. the only things that the plant can attack with at this point are bite attacks which if ink didn't give plant such insane compositing, white pikmin could have countered as well. I also questioned the speed feat because he didn't explain any of his calculations or anything. I mentioned the winged pikmin to inform the fact that every type of pikmin can carry bombs, he only allowed yellow pikmin to which was changed after pikmin 1, winged pikmin's flight would allow them to use bombs more effectively, it doesn;t mater if plant shoots down 100 or even 1000, olimar has many more. Ultra spicy spray was ever used, pikmin were never thrown, purple's didn't even get to use the stun ability.

[@randomjar6934]

@@floatingf8783 isn’t the paper Mario series non canon? Even if it was canon, piranha plant can only move if it’s not in a pipe and last I checked this piranha plant was. Also, red Pikmin would not get incinerated by fire which they are immune to. They are shown to survive up to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit, Olimars suit can also survive this with minor difficulties. Red Pikmin also show no sign of their fire immunity failing in any temperatures so far. Olimar has speed boots and a dodge whistle for extra speed (although this is definitely not enough to help in a battle of this size.) Also, if one bob-omb can take out a piranha plant, then how come a bomb rock in the mouth and a pile of bomb rocks well over the volume of a bob-omb didn’t kill it. That thing should be dead. Oh yeah, and Olimar has access to an automatic recovery kit, landmines, and deployable lightning. So yeah, they need a rematch with Pikmin 4 mechanics.

Giving what's supposed to be a normal Piranha Plant abilities of bosses and aliens seems a little much, but that size difference alone... I would question Plant's ability to even see Olimar though.

[@kuribohbrother]

I believe because Smash composites Piranha Plant that is why they did so here, but yeah unfortunately Pikmin in general doesn’t have a bunch of different sources of media to take from like Mario If this was strictly Piranha Plant from the main line series that wasn’t fused with other members of its species then it likely becomes one of Olimar’s easier boss fights, but still a boss nonetheless.

I wonder what would've happened if Olimar had Moss, ice pikmin, and glow pikmin, then again it would have to happen at night. I'm not sure if he would still win because of his size, but he might be able to freeze plant, and then ram Moss into plant, crushing him to bits.

I absolutely love how this is really epic and cool but when you look at it objective standpoint, it’s basically just a Venus fly trap eating a couple of ants while they take a few nibbles out of it and then a small explosion goes off near the plant and then it pulls out a Glock and just shooting the nearby flora and fauna.

[@epicveryfunnyaccount517]

olimar has a star busting ship, he could have just blew the planet to bitty bits

[@kuribohbrother]

It’s only a claim by the company that made the weapon. Olimar himself has never tested it out because blowing up a star is something he’s never had to resort to so we don’t know if it can actually do that. Although Olimar says he has used it to destroy just about anything which would likely mean meteors which is still impressive of a feat on its own. He also relies on the ship to protect him from space pirates so it’s not a total stranger to combat.

I think this was animated so amazingly and that y'all should have shown the remaining Pikmin bloom flowers which made them stronger

[@cassandrablaze-thesequal]

I feel like Olimar out up a good fight but... something does feel off. I feel like this was just requested from all the pikmin 4 hype and they used Olimar a filler character, so much about him was never shown... tho kinda same with the pirahna plant, they just kinda said yeah lets give him the power of every species, thats a good idea. However 3 other types could have been used... all good ones may i add. Rock ice and glow pikmin are busted but never show and even he explains how some of the plants attacks are faster that isn't super true all the time, im fairly certain a car going half highway speed (im from UK so for me that only 40 mph) is slower the double the speed of a sniper shot. and the thing that tried to make purple pikmin balanced is that they were slower so overwall it wouldn't be a x10 in speed, it'd be a amount of men used one thing divided by ten. both these analyses were pretty sloppy with nothing sticking: the just slap evything together for the plant and the lets casually forget about crucial parts with Olimar. If the plant can have the radar then Olimar can have one of his ships (The S.S. Dolphin or the unamed Hocotate Freight Ship).

0:23 Gonna need a source for that, bud. 1:43 A few years? More like _immediately._ He got sent back the minute he landed on Hocotate. 2:32 Do note that it was 2 purple pikmin, the heaviest in the series, launching a single white pikmin, possibly the lightest in the series. Your math is off, since you multiplied two purple pikmins' launching power by the purple pikmin's own strength multiplier. 4:24 The ship pictured doesn't have all of the features listed, as those are properties of his original ship, the SS Dolphin. What's shown is his company's rusty, run-down replacement. Not that it's relevant to how he fights, mind you, just a nitpick.
