I just spam the **** out of nairs against him. There's not much he can do about them. Also, dtilts go through a lot of his attacks, and grabs are your friend, especially pivot grabs. Try to avoid anything about him that spins or has super armor, though. I have problems finishing him, so I don't know about that. Sometimes I get him to upwards of 300%
Camp him out with Pikmin toss. When he approaches make sure to shield or use purple Pikmin toss to disrupt him when he's running towards you. Keep in mind that he has big hitboxes, and super armor on some moves. Also if he throws out a move it is very important to keep in mind that if he hits one of your Pikmin it can extend how long his hitbox stays out. Be wary of when to run in to attack him for this reason. You can use down throw to help start low percent combos, as well as what Bulborb said with nairs and dtilt. Just try not to be to predictable, and make sure to mix up your options. For killing him a well placed forward smash with a red or purple would do the job pretty nicely. Just watch where he's at on the map, and try to hit him towards the side that has the closest blast zone. Ftilt and dsmash could also work too. You could try to go offstage to gimp him when he's trying to recover, but it can be tricky to stop his up B. Also he could just hit you if you're not careful.
Like I said lol. Just be wary of when using the dair to try and get him offstage. His up B is pretty good.
tips or seen any good stuff or 
Moved to the Q&A thread, along with its replies.
Don't be afraid to camp the opponent. You need to make them come to you. Just be weary of what moves you use to punish since a lot of them have a decent amount of ending lag. Pivot fsmash and pivot grabs are an amazing tool for when an opponent is running at you. Jab can be a nice tool to disrupt your opponent as well. Also down throw can lead into some nice follow ups at lower percents.Now that it's been a while since the game has been out has anybody got any good
he was my main in ole Brawlio and I find him pretty hard especially against characters like
As far as I'm aware of, Olimar's Dthrow can generally be followed up with an aerial, usually fair or uair depending on vectoring/DI, at low percents. Mid-percents might be possible with a white Dthrow, considering the lesser knockback, but I'm not sure about this.
Landing nair to utilt usually works. Dthrow into fair like Blue Banana said. You can also follow up the fair by fast falling into another grab if they don't vector it properly. Jab-jab-grab is another good one. Purple Pikmin toss can be followed up with a fair if you're close enough to them. These are just some of the ones off the top of my head.
These are great mate. cheers.

I recommend checking out my guide, it will talk about which color of Pikmin is best for what move. It can also help you understand the character all around better. http://smashboards.com/guides/updat...d-more-a-ssb4-guide-to-olimar.53/?ckattempt=1I have some questions that have been surely already ask, but at least, i'll get a complet answer here
What pikmin does, and wich one use at which moment ? I dunno really well how to play Olimar, and i'm beginner with him, so if you have any tips for me, i'll take all of them
Thanks !
Wall her our with F-Smash if she's blindly running at you. You have to camp her out with Pikmin and make her come to you. Using dtilts and jabs can be a good way to disrupt here if you're up close. Also make sure to always have a purple with you, because they can be a life saver pretty much anytime. Also you can jab lock luma. I'll post of a video of me vs dabuz pretty soon in the video thread, maybe that will help.
Fsmash is definitely my go-to deterrence for approaches, but I felt like I got dash attacked every time I tried. Maybe my timing was off, but Rosa's dash attack is so strong! Her dash has such good range too, so Olimar's benefit of the fsmash reach is negated. Purple tosses are good for offensive defense also, but I was getting my ass handed to me so badly that I never got a chance to pluck pikmin too often.
Well the jab lock is really only useful when either Rosa and Luma are on top of each other so it hits both, or if Luma is sent out from Rosa. When the latter is the case it makes her approach since Luma can't do anything, and a lot of the time you can FSmash before Rosa reaches you hitting the Luma and her. For landing I'd say try to drift to the left or right, because you can't really challenge her up air to well. It happens to me in the video so you can see what I mean.Fsmash is definitely my go-to deterrence for approaches, but I felt like I got dash attacked every time I tried.

Can the jab lock actually help? Whenever I try to attack Luma, I feel like Rosa is there with her crazy galaxy smashes and grabs.
I'd love and much appreciate the video when you post it. Do you have any advice for coming down from the air? I know nair has the least lag, but I still got grabbed/dash attacked and ended back up in the air, floating helplessly.
Olimar has a few ways to secure KOs: Fsmash, Usmash, Dsmash at higher percents, Blue Uthrow at higher percents, Uair, Bairs offstage, and Dair spikes. Smashes need to be directly close to the opponent to have maximum knockback. If you want to KO the opponent as quickly as possible, reds and purples are your go to Pikmin.
Just be smart about throwing them and avoiding the opponent. Also you have to be able to switch on the fly from camping to up close combat really well. Just takes practice.
vs Wizzzrobe Close match! I'll critique one thing because it's something I do as well. Once you went down a stock and had Wizzzrobe at a 100%+ percent, you were fishing really hard for that kill. You kept going for smashes (forward and down). Don't give up on pikmin toss.http://youtu.be/GAdbHc8ngW4

U guys probably kno Wizzzrobe id not then he's one of the best sm4sh players and possibly the best pm player and I played on his stream. This is one of the battles we did so critique and please give advice thanks.
For teams you should be the one controlling the ground. Having a partner who can cover your back and the air is much more helpful. Just be watchful about oncoming opponents.
Just space your smashes and grabs well. You have very good grounded options. Also if you're getting teamed up on have your teammate come help you. Abuse your jabs and tilts and purple Pikmin Throw.
Just camp him out with Pikmin Toss. Avoid the hydrant if he hits it to you. I'd say work on your aim when throwing.
I don't know what more I can tell you. If I fight any good pacmans I'll try to get some replays to upload.
They come out in a fixed order. Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, Red, etc.
