In the early metagame, Olimar was widely considered a contender for the best character in Ultimate, alongside {{SSBU|Peach}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}}. Olimar had many strengths, including stronger throws, a faster [[Pikmin Pluck]], and less lag on his smash attacks, particularly his up smash. This, along with Olimar's increased speed, made him a rather campy character, overwhelming the opponent with his Pikmin and recover them quickly when they are killed. As a result of these strengths, players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, and {{Sm|Myran}} performed spectacularly with Olimar and consistently placed in top 8 at many tournaments. | In the early metagame, Olimar was widely considered a contender for the best character in Ultimate, alongside {{SSBU|Peach}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}}.

Patch 3.0.0 and the subsequent patch 3.1.0, however, nerfed Olimar's smash attacks and made them less safe on shield, while [[Pikmin Throw]] dealt less shield damage. This hurt Olimar in the metagame. Myran saw a noticeable dip in performance and Dabuz now uses both Olimar and {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}. Nevertheless, Dabuz and Shuton continued to achieve high placements with Olimar, and it is widely agreed that Olimar is still a viable threat in the metagame. Shuton in particular was able to win {{Trn|EVO Japan 2020}} with the character. | Patch 3.0.0 and the subsequent patch 3.1.0, however, nerfed Olimar's smash attacks and made them less safe on shield, while [[Pikmin Throw]] dealt less shield damage.
