Olimar
B TierOlimar excels as a zoner, leveraging his Pikmin to control space and apply pressure. Use his Neutral Special, Pikmin Pluck, to cycle through Pikmin and maintain a diverse lineup, ensuring you have the right colors for the situation—Yellow Pikmin for range and Purple Pikmin for strong spacing and kills. However, be cautious of characters like Kirby and ROB, who can exploit Olimar’s struggles when he's above them or directly below; they can pressure him effectively in those situations. Mastering Pikmin management is crucial, as your success hinges on knowing when to throw or use each type to maximize damage and keep opponents at bay.
