How about snake?

Grenade Launcher

Snake’s Final Smash is the Grenade Launcher.

What is he calling in...?





Suddenly he does a great jump!





Choppa-choppa-choppa!

Snake grabs the rope ladder the helicopter drops and takes out his grenade launcher!
So, the thing to do is shoot, right?

Poom! Poom! Poom!

You control the targeting reticule and press the attack button to fire grenades one at a time. There are six rounds, and when you run out...

...he loads a new clip? How can that be?

It ends when you shoot 12 rounds or run out of time. Snake then climbs back up to return to battle.

Yep. He makes his exit.

It’s probably better to just shoot all your rounds rather than run out of time leaving ammo behind...but if you just shoot indiscriminately, your shots may be dodged.
When there are two or more enemies, it might be a good idea to hit one while he is being attacked by the other, or something along those lines.

GET BACK TO THE CHOPPA

That's so cool that the Pikmin guy is in the game. I loved Pikmin 2 and hope to see Pikmin 3 for the Wii.

I think the fact captain olimar is in SSBB makes pikmin 3 more likely. Why would they put a character they dont use anymore? Captain olimar isnt exactly the most known gaming character. Also pikmin is a game for both 'real' gamers and casual gamers.

Captain Olimar is among the most specialised characters within the cast of Smash Bros. Brawl.
In order to really unleash Olimar’s full potential, you’ve got to have a good knowledge of his helpful cohorts, the Pikmin!

Standard Special Move: Pikmin Pluck

Pluck, pluck, pluck up Pikmin.

First, uproot a few Pikmin from the ground. You can have up to six Pikmin at one time. As long as there is ground beneath your feet, you can reach down and pull up a Pikmin, but be aware that certain Pikmin are more likely to appear in specific types of flooring.
There are 5 types of Pikmin to use!

- Red Pikmin -

• High attack power
• Attacks imbued with incendiary properties
• Immune to fire

- Yellow Pikmin -

• Range of attack slightly larger than usual;
  easy to hit enemies with
• Travel in slight arcs when thrown
• Attacks imbued with electrical properties

- Blue Pikmin -

• Strong when thrown
• Slightly more durable than average

- Purple Pikmin -

• Doesn’t fly far when thrown
• Slow
• High attack power
• Slams into enemies instead of
  latching on when thrown

- White Pikmin -

• Quick and light
• When latched onto opponent,
  poison does additional damage

You can work out which Pikmin you will attack with next by looking at the order they are lined up in.

You’ll use a Red Pikmin in your next attack.

In order to perform a Smash Attack, certain mid-air attacks, and even throws, you’re going to need Pikmin!
Anyhow, just do your best to not kill off your platoon. Olimar doesn’t stand much of a chance by himself.

Pikmin don’t have graves, you know.

Side Special Move: Pikmin Throw

Throw Pikmin that latch on to your opponent!

They’ll cause an enemy’s damage percentage to slowly rise!

Up Special Move: Pikmin Chain

If you think you’re about to plunge to your doom, this right here is your best chance for survival.
The recovery distance for this technique is dependent upon the number of Pikmin currently in your troop!

Just imagine what would’ve happened
if you had had one less Pikmin!

Down Special Move: Pikmin Order

Call back Pikmin who have managed to separate from you. You can also use this technique to shift a new Pikmin to the front of the line.

Tweeet! Line up, everyone!

So there you have it. I bet you’re a little confused by his eccentric play style.
But don’t fret! It’s easier than it looks. Spend some time playing around with him. That’s key.

Whoa, the battlefield sure is crowded today...

[GommeInc]

Wooo Olimar! He looks like he's going to be fun

[Niall!]

He looks well complicated

[KnuxIBF]

They've won me over - He looks fun.

They also put Pit in the game. Let's hope they are making a new Kid Icarus.

That would be awesome.
