Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Olimar's model features a more subdued color scheme.
• Alph's suit now features a lateral, zipper-like line down the center.
• Olimar's helmet cracks after taking a certain amount of damage, but will quickly be repaired.
• His Pikmin now always face the screen regardless of which direction they turn.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Olimar's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Throws/other attacks

• All Pikmin in Olimar's squad will be used at once for his grab.
• Olimar's pummel is now a quick upward punch. It is much faster than his previous pummel.
• Up throw has a more exaggerated animation.

Special moves

• Olimar plucks his Pikmin much faster.
• While the bite marks and sound effects are still present, the Bulborbs are nowhere to be seen in End of Day.

Trivia

• During the official Ultimate website's launch on June 12th, 2018, Olimar's name was erroneously labeled as "OLIMER" in English variants of his fighter page. The typo was later corrected.
• The part of Olimar's showcase trailer where Alph crouches next to a prone Olimar is a reference to a scene in Pikmin 3 after Alph initially rescues Olimar from the Mysterious Life Form.
