C-stick tactic

This is a strategy that functions in both Pikmin titles and is allows Pikmin to be thrown much more quickly.

• Simply tilt the C-stick in a direction so the Pikmin are near your pilot keeping the group centred around him, rotating the C-stick as necessary.
• Rapidly press the 'A' button, unleashing a wave of Pikmin.

This strategy makes throwing Pikmin faster since you don't have to wait the fraction of a second for a Pikmin to approach your pilot to be thrown. It saves very little time on a single throw, but when throwing large groups every second will help. This may also work for killing mature Bulborbs or enemies with high health. This is slightly less useful in Pikmin 2, because the Pikmin are thrown faster anyway.
