Unreliable Recovery of Pikmin Chain

[Turk Injaydii]

Is it known that Olimar's Pikmin Chain sometimes doesn't grab ledge? Had a Pikmin player in bracket last night who died several times because his chain didn't grab ledge when it was w/i range. He prolly lost 5 stocks this way in his run to Losers Finals in a 30 man bracket. Definitely something Olimar players will want fixed in 4.0f

Unfortunately this would be much harder to fix than it sounds due to the mechanics of how Pikmin Rope works in regards to the ledge. However, if the Olimar is also using all of his self-plucks (plucking in the air to increase height), this should not be an issue as unless he is getting gimped Olimar should always be within ledge grab range with Pikmin Rope after that boost of height.

That's unfortunate. Was it an issue in vBrawl? I'll certainly pass on your advice to the Olimar players.
