'''Olimar''' ({{ja|ピクミン＆オリマー|Pikumin & Orimā}}, ''Pikmin & Olimar'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. His reappearance to the series was announced in a [[List of Director's Room Miiverse posts|Director's Room Miiverse post]] on July 12th, 2013, which also commemorated ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 3}}'' being released in Japan on the following day. '''[[Alph]]''' ({{ja|ピクミン＆アルフ|Pikumin & Arufu}}, ''Pikmin & Alph''), one of the three {{s|pikipedia|leader}}s in ''Pikmin 3'', was revealed as an [[Alternate costume|alternative character]] in a Director's Room Miiverse post on September 11, 2014.

Olimar is ranked 21st out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C tier. This is a significant drop from his top-tier placement in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where he was ranked 3rd out of 38, and is his worst placement in the series. As in ''Brawl'', Olimar's signature [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] possess an impressive level of respective utility: they grant him respectable KO and damage-racking capabilities, which is further supplemented by Olimar's solid frame-data, as Olimar can make usage of them to deal direct and/or indirect damage via his standard movesets, and by possessing the Pikmin latch onto opponents via [[Pikmin Throw]], respectively.
Like in ''Brawl'', Olimar is completely silent, rather than being voiced by Kazumi Totaka like he is in the ''Pikmin'' series, while Hajime Wakai's portrayal of Pikmin from ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}'' is once again repurposed for Red, Blue, Yellow, White and Purple Pikmin. Winged Pikmin are voiced by Atsuko Asashi, using voice clips recycled from ''Pikmin 3''. Alph, despite having his own unique voice in ''Pikmin 3'', is also completely silent as well in ''SSB4'', much like Olimar is.
 
Olimar is ranked 21st out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C tier. This is a significant drop from his top-tier placement in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where he was ranked 3rd out of 38. As in ''Brawl'', and his worst placement in the series so far. Olimar's signature [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] possess an impressive level of respective utility: they grant him respectable KO and damage-racking capabilities, which is further supplemented by Olimar's solid frame-data, as Olimar can make usage of them to deal direct and/or indirect damage via his standard movesets, and by possessing the Pikmin latch onto opponents via [[Pikmin Throw]], respectively.


The Pikmin also grant Olimar a potent [[grab]] game: each of them function as [[Grab#Tether grabs|disjointed grabs]]; White Pikmin-based pummel is tied with {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s [[Monado Arts|Buster]]-boosted pummel as the most damaging in the game; Blue Pikmin-based up throw is a viable KOing option at high percents; and Red Pikmin-based down throw is a very reliable combo starter even at high percents. Lastly, his new [[up special move]], [[Winged Pikmin]], functions as a maneuverable, flight-based [[recovery]] that can be performed regardless of whether or not Olimar has Pikmin equipped,<ref name="Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xUWnQu2Grs Super Smash Bros. Direct 4.8.2014]</ref> which makes them vastly superior to [[Pikmin Chain]]'s [[tether recovery]].

However, Olimar's active Pikmin count has now been halved from six to three due to the limitations to [[Nintendo 3DS]]' hardware,<ref name="Direct"/> which considerably weakens the [[camp]]ing strategies he relied on in ''Brawl''. The Pikmin themselves have also been weakened in a few, yet noticeable ways: Red, Yellow, Blue, and Purple Pikmin have less [[hit points]], which is further compounded by them and White Pikmin dying faster while separated from Olimar. Each kind of Pikmin have also had the majority of their damage outputs lowered, and suffer from somewhat flawed [[artificial intelligence]]. Olimar also retains his slow overall mobility; his aerial mobility is especially problematic, as it renders him susceptible to [[juggling]] despite his light weight, and causes him to flounder against speed demons, such as {{SSB4|Sonic}} and {{SSB4|Fox}}. By extension, Olimar suffers from poor endurance: the combination of his light [[weight]] and low [[gravity]] leaves him vulnerable to early KOs, which is further pronounced by the loss of [[momentum canceling]] and the introduction of [[rage]]. Finally, his offense is still burdened by slow attacking speed and an over-reliance on Pikmin.

Overall, despite his retained and newfound weaknesses, Olimar has still achieved impressive representation and results at all levels of competitive play, thanks to dedicated smashers, such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|Gomakenpi}}, and {{Sm|Myran}}.

Olimar is a small [[weight|lightweight]] with overall slow mobility In turn, he has a slow [[walk]]ing speed, below average [[dash]]ing and [[falling speed]]s, his [[air speed]] is the fourth slowest, and is tied with {{SSB4|Peach}} for the fourth lowest [[gravity]]. However, his [[air acceleration]] and [[traction]] are both above average, while his [[jump]] and [[double jump]] are both average. Olimar's playstyle is almost identical to how it was in ''Brawl'': he has retained the overwhelming majority of his moveset and animations, yet some moves have been slightly modified. Much like in his [[Pikmin (universe)|home series]], Olimar's extremely meager offensive prowess forces him to be reliant on instructing his multi-colored Pikmin to withdraw this glaring flaw. As a result, almost all of his moveset involves Pikmin; this, in turn, can result in his moveset being useful or useless depending on whether or not he has Pikmin. When Olimar has Pikmin, he possesses arguably one of the most unique playstyles in the game, thanks to the Pikmin functioning as both projectiles and separate characters, much like how [[Rosalina & Luma (SSB4)|Luma functions alongside Rosalina]].

When used correctly, the Pikmin provide noticeable and effective benefits: they can easily rack up high amounts of damage in short periods of time, they grant Olimar disjointed [[grab]]s by running out to grab opponents when choosing to grab, they can carry various [[item]]s back to Olimar as they run back to him much like in their home series, and they can also help with [[camp]]ing or hindering [[approach]]es. Additionally, each kind of Pikmin provides [[Pikmin (species)#In Super Smash Bros. Brawl|unique and useful effects]]. Olimar's special moves are also heavily dependent on Pikmin, but they are all beneficial nonetheless. Olimar's Pikmin also function as both [[disjoint|disjointed hitboxes]] and [[projectile]]s in a variety of his moveset, granting Olimar some of the longest range relative to his size, as well as one of the best camping and [[spacing]] abilities in the game.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Olimar was considered to be a top-tier character, typically being perceived as a top 5-to-top 3 character. This was primarily due to the effectiveness of his [[Pikmin]]: Olimar possessed six Pikmin available in his disposal, and they overall gave him incredible [[camping]] potential. Olimar could easily abuse his [[Pikmin Throw]] to restrain his opponents out due to the amount of Pikmin he could have out and even at close-ranged proximity, Olimar still possessed strong tools. His damage-output was exceptionally high, especially with certain Pikmin, his [[smash attack]]s were exceptionally effective, his aerials were powerful, he had a strong grab game with an exceptionally quick and long-ranged [[grab]] in addition to possessing [[combo]] and [[KO]] [[throw]]s depending on the Pikmin equipped, and he even had a solid defensive option with [[Pikmin Order]]. Olimar also had rather respectable KO power, with his Purple and Red Pikmin (in some situations) being particularly powerful. While he did suffer from poor mobility, limited [[approach]]ing options, a slew of multi-hitting attacks which could be avoided with [[SDI]], and he had an extremely exploitable [[recovery]], these weaknesses failed to impair Olimar too much. Altogether, these factors made Olimar an incredibly dominant character on-stage, making it exceptionally difficult for most of the cast to deal with Olimar. As a result, Olimar has naturally seen a mixture of [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s in the transition to ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', although due to his top-tier status in the previous game, he has been drastically nerfed overall.

The most glaring downgrade includes the halving of his Pikmin, counting from six to three due to the limitations of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]' processing power. As a result, this drastically lowers his general damage output, as well as his [[camp]]ing potential, especially since [[Pikmin Throw]] deals less damage (especially with [[White Pikmin]]). Both Olimar and his Pikmin's endurance are also worse: as Olimar himself is [[weight|lighter]] and his signature Pikmin (excluding White Pikmin) have less [[hit points|HP]], and they die faster if they are separated from Olimar. The removal of [[meteor cancel]]ing also significantly hinders Olimar's endurance against [[meteor smash]]es, and the changes to [[hitstun canceling]] is considered a double-edged sword for Olimar: they indirectly removed [[momentum canceling]], so this means Olimar is much more susceptible to early KOs and combos, with the latter being further pronounced by Olimar's aforementioned lighter weight and the introduction of [[rage]], yet it also drastically improves Olimar's [[combo]] game as well, especially with his throws.

One particularly notable combo is a Red Pikmin down throw followed by a Purple Pikmin back aerial, which is a [[true combo]] that KOs reliably while near the edge. Red Pikmin down throw can also combo into forward tilt and forward smash at 0% to low percents, albeit only against fast-fallers. Yellow, Blue, White, and Purple Pikmin can also perform these combos, but their combo potential wanes considerably past medium percents because of their throw damage being much higher than the Red Pikmin's.

===Tier placement and history===
Like in ''Brawl'', Olimar's placing in ''SSB4'' was one of the most contentious among the cast. At first, players would deem his nerfs as being too harsh for him to even be assessed as a mid-tier character, with some even considering him to be a bottom-tier character. This was primarily due to the game mechanics in ''SSB4'' being faster mixed with Olimar’s camping game being toned down, and his strengths not being recognized as much. This perception would remain intact for several months until players soon started to demonstrate Olimar's retained strengths, with professionals like {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|ImHip}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, and {{Sm|Soulimar}} placing highly. As a result, Olimar was ranked 24th on the first [[tier list]].
Although his competitive prospects and placings were accelerating, Olimar's rare usage negatively stood out compared with other high-tier characters. To reflect this, he dropped 30th on the second tier list. As before, representatives such as Dabuz and Shuton continued to defeat top players at high-level tournaments and achieve great placings. These demonstrations allowed Olimar to achieve 27th and then to 21st on the third and fourth tier lists respectively. Although he was not as overwhelmingly effective as he was in ''Brawl'', Olimar has nevertheless managed to achieve solid success in spite of the faster mechanics and the dominance of the DLC characters.
