*{{Sm| | ''See also: [[:Category:Olimar players (SSB4)]]'' | ||
*{{Sm| | |||
*{{Sm|Dabuz|USA}} - Although better known for his {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}, he used Olimar as a secondary. His best Olimar run was winning {{Trn|Aftershock 2016}} defeating {{Sm|Samsora}} with Olimar in the last two games and double-eliminating {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, with his only game wins being with Olimar. Other notable Olimar results include placing 2nd at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2016}} defeating {{Sm|ScAtt}}, reverse 3-0ing {{Sm|Fatality}}, and taking the last two games to defeat {{Sm|ANTi}}; and taking the last game to defeat {{Sm|Tweek}} at {{Trn|GENESIS 4}}. | |||
*{{Sm|ImHip|USA}} - Co-mained Olimar alongside {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}} and was one of the best Olimar players in North America, as well as the primary Olimar representative from [[SoCal]]. He is best known for defeating {{Sm|Tweek}} with Olimar at {{Trn|2GGC: GENESIS Saga}}, ultimately placing 17th. In addition, he has also placed 5th at both {{Trn|2GGT: The False Awakens}}, defeating {{Sm|falln}} along the way, and {{Trn|2GGT: Mexico Saga}}, using primarily Olimar. | |||
*{{Sm|Myran|USA}} - The best solo-Olimar player in North America of all-time best known for his performance in the first half of 2017, where he was ranked 39th on the [[PGR v3]] and placed 5th at {{Trn|Smash Conference LXIX}} defeating {{Sm|MVD}} and {{Sm|Mr. E}}, 13th at {{Trn|MomoCon 2017}} defeating {{Sm|ScAtt}}, 17th at {{Trn|2GGC: Nairo Saga}} defeating {{Sm|6WX}}, and 25th at {{Trn|Frostbite 2017}} defeating {{Sm|Tweek}}. He remained a strong Olimar player after the season, but would never be ranked globally again. | |||
*{{Sm|Shuton|Japan}} - The best Olimar player of all-time and one of the best players from Japan. He is the only Olimar player who had multiple top 8 placements at majors, most notably placing 3rd at both {{Trn|2GGC: West Side Saga}} and {{Trn|Smash Sounds}}, 5th at {{Trn|Frostbite 2017}}, and 7th at {{Trn|2GGC: Fire Emblem Saga}}. He is ranked 23rd on the [[PGR 100]], the only solo-Olimar player on the ranking. | |||
*{{Sm| | *{{Sm|Soulimar|USA}} - One of the best Olimar players in North America. He has several wins over {{Sm|AC}}, doing so to place 17th at {{Trn|2GGT: Abadango Saga}} and 33rd at {{Trn|2GGT: ZeRo Saga}}, and has also defeated {{Sm|Zenyou}} to place 25th at {{Trn|2GGC: Greninja Saga}}. | ||

===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 ''SSB4''{{'}}s adjusted and quicker mechanics combined with Olimar’s camping game being toned down, and his strengths being unrecognized at the time. 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}} attaining high placings. 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 dominating as he was in ''Brawl'', Olimar has nevertheless managed to achieve solid success despite the quicker mechanics and the dominance of the DLC characters, especially {{SSB4|Corrin}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}. | |||
