—Description from the Super Smash Blog. |
Olimar (オリマ) is a veteran fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, first playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He was confirmed during the E3 2018 Conference on June 12, 2018. Alph also returns as his palette swap.
When unlocked, he is fought at Distant Planet.
Attributes
Strengths
- Decent grab range.
- Great recovery.
- Pikmin can be thrown to damage opponents directly or apply a small bleed on them.
- Small size which allows to dodge some projectiles easier.
- Has five different types of Pikmin which give different strengths and bonuses.
Weaknesses
- Extremely lightweight, meaning that Olimar can die easily from knockback.
- Needs his Pikmin to use most of his moveset. Each Pikmin also affects Olimar's strength and range and micromanaging is needed to select the desired Pikmin as the lead follower.
- Winged Pikmin's distance varies greatly depending on what Pikmin are following Olimar. Three purple Pikmin will greatly reduce his ability to recover.
- Pikmin can be killed, forcing Olimar to call for more.
