Olimar has been re-balanced to have three Pikmin at maximum. This is an overall nerf as it reduces his potential damage output but he was buffed in other areas to compensate.
Olimar has been re-balanced to have three Pikmin at maximum. This is an overall nerf as it reduces his potential damage output but he was buffed in other areas to compensate.


*{{buff|Pikmin are now plucked in a set cycle (Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, etc.), instead of being random.}}
===Aesthetics===
*{{buff|Up air is a single hit which gives it better juggling and kill potential.}}
*{{change|Pikmin appear to be slightly larger; Olimar's size appears mostly unchanged.}}
**{{nerf|It deals much less damage. (A Red Pikmin will only deal 11% damage, down from the 24% it could deal in ''Brawl''.)}}
*{{change|The Pikmin at the head of the line has a player-coloured pointer above their head, as do Pikmin at a distance from Olimar, allowing the player to more easily visualise which Pikmin will be used next.}}
*{{buff|All smash attacks are stronger and more damaging with White Pikmin.}}
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Foward tilt is now a powerful punch.}}
*{{nerf|Olimar can only have 3 Pikmin at a time (as opposed to 6).}}
*{{buff|[[End of Day]]'s final explosion has a greater [[hitbox]].}}
*{{change|Pikmin are now plucked in a set cycle (Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, etc.) instead of being random and based on terrain. While this means Olimar no longer has to depend on certain types of terrain to get certain Pikmin, and all Pikmin are equally likely, it also makes it non-viable to have two or more of the same type at once.}}
**{{buff|The rocket, when landing, can be controlled, almost guaranteeing a successful landing hit.}}
*{{nerf|Olimar is lighter than in ''Brawl''.}}
*{{nerf|Pikmin separated from Olimar die faster.}}
*{{nerf|Red Pikmin deal slightly less damage overall.}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Jab combo and forward tilt now consist of punches which are based on the [[pikipedia:Brute Knuckles|Rocket Fist]] technique from ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}''.}}
*{{nerf|Jab combo deals less damage than in ''Brawl.'' (15% to 7%.)}}
*{{buff|Down tilt has been strengthened.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt has been strengthened.}}
*{{buff|Down air is much faster.}}
*{{buff|All White smash attacks are stronger and more damaging.}}
**{{nerf|However, the attack's sweetspot is harder to land and the attack deals less damage.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash travels farther.}}
*{{buff|Pikmin fly much farther when thrown.}}
*{{nerf|Forward smash is slightly weaker in both damage and knockback.}}
**{{nerf|However, this makes them more vulnerable to falling off stages.}}
*{{change|Pikmin used in forward smash no longer fly off the edge, which helps conserve Pikmin, but removes a gimping option.}}
*{{buff|Some of Olimar's attacks (forward aerial, back aerial, up smash, down smash) have been sped up.}}
*{{buff|Up and down smashes are faster.}}
**{{nerf|However, his up smash has slightly decreased vertical range.}}
*{{nerf|Up smash has less vertical range.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash's reach has been extended.}}
===Aerial attacks===
**{{nerf|However, its KO potential and damage outputs have been reduced slightly.}}
*{{buff|Forward and back aerials are faster.}}
**{{buff|Pikmin no longer fall off the stage when it is used on the edge of the stage}}
*{{buff|Up aerial is a single hit which gives it better juggling and kill potential.}}
*{{buff|Olimar has a new up special recovery move, using [[Winged Pikmin]] instead of [[Pikmin Chain]]. These Pikmin can carry Olimar to great heights.}}
*{{nerf|Up aerial deals much less damage. (A Red Pikmin will only deal 11% damage, down from the 24% it could deal in ''Brawl''.)}}
**{{nerf|However, Olimar must carry fewer Pikmin with him to gain more distance, whereas in ''Brawl'' he needed more Pikmin. This means Olimar will have to sacrifice Pikmin to recover better.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial is much faster.}}
*{{nerf|Jab combo deals less damage than in ''Brawl.'' (15% to 7%.)}}
*{{nerf|Down aerial's sweetspot is harder to land and the attack deals less damage.}}
*{{nerf|Olimar is lighter than in ''Brawl''.}}
===Throws/other attacks===
*{{buff|Up throw is weaker (especially with Purples), making it more useful for combos, but less useful for KO'ing.}}
===Special moves===
*{{change|Pikmin fly much farther when thrown. While this makes them more ffective at long range, it also makes them easier to throw off the stage.}}
*{{change|Olimar has a new recovery move in [[Winged Pikmin]], which is a controllable-flight move instead of a tether recovery.}}
*{{buff|Winged Pikmin goes much farther than the previous Pikmin Chain.}}
*{{nerf|Winged Pikmin is significantly less effective if Olimar has more Pikmin, which may require him to sacrifice them to survive himself.}}
*{{nerf|[[Pikmin Order]] gives Olimar fewer [[super armor]] frames.}}
*{{nerf|[[Pikmin Order]] gives Olimar fewer [[super armor]] frames.}}
*{{nerf|Up throw is weaker, most noticeably with a Purple Pikmin.}}
*{{buff|[[End of Day]]'s final explosion has a greater [[hitbox]].}}
**{{buff|This nerf, however, makes the move more useful for combos.}}
*{{buff|The rocket descent of End of Day can be aimed akin to a [[Warp Star]], making it possible to hit something that's not at center stage.}}
*{{nerf|Olimar will now only be able to carry three Pikmin at a time after using [[Pikmin Pluck]] (unlike in ''Brawl'', where he could carry up to six)}}.
*{{nerf|Red Pikmin deal slightly less damage than in Brawl.}}
*{{change|Pikmin appear to be slightly larger; Olimar's size appears mostly unchanged.}}
*{{change|The Pikmin at the head of the line has a player-coloured pointer above their head, as do Pikmin at a distance from Olimar, allowing the player to more easily visualise which Pikmin will be used next.}}
*{{change|Forward tilt and jab combo now consist of punches which are based on the [[pikipedia:Brute Knuckles|Rocket Fist]] technique from ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}''.}}
