Editing Talk:Combat

== Stuff to add ==
There's a lot we can talk about. I'll list what I wrote on Pikcord and expand on it:
* Explain:
** How Pikmin attack:
*** By standing up or latched on, and how in the former, they can rotate or latch on by themselves
*** How they can attack other leaders in competitive modes
*** How they decide to attack, by just being idle near a target, or being thrown at it, and how they can even enter combat with objects like eggs
** How leaders can get damaged: simple damage, knockback, and crush, and the ramifications for recovering and getting hit by subsequent hits
*** Same with Pikmin, but also how they can catch on fire and so on
** In Pikmin and Pikmin 2, Pikmin can lose their maturity, and in the case of P1, how they can leave behind sprouts for the next day if they die as a flower
** More info about attacks:
*** Spicy Pikmin
*** How maturity affects it (or doesn't)
*** Petrified enemies
*** First latched-on hit (supposedly cause double damage in Pikmin 3)
** How enemies attack:
*** How enemies that captured Pikmin will release them when they die before swallowing
*** Enemy in-fighting
*** How some enemy attacks have a limit of Pikmin they can capture/kill at once ([[User:Espyo/Pikmin cap|WIP research here]])
** Tactics
*** It's usually a good idea to coax an enemy into shaking Pikmin off, and then rush at it while it's busy ending its shaking animation and preparing its next attack
*** How some enemies have weakspots, are vulnerable to certain actions like Dwarf Bulborbs getting crushed, etc.
*** Bomb rocks
** Pikmin that get shaken off in a battle against the P3 Shaggy Long Legs can either stay on the ground forever (normal shake), or get up by themselves (joint de-hair shake). They also will not respond to being bumped, only to the whistle.
