I have four mains, but are there any consistent BAD MATCH-UPs for me?

I use Olimar, Mr. Game & Watch, Wario, and Ness. I'm guessing my worst enemies (from my personal experience and what I see around here) are R.O.B. and Metaknight, and I certainly have had trouble with R.O.B., in particular. What do you guys think?

Your right about R.O.B. and Metaknight
But also watch out for Marth and Snake both r deadly.
I like how you decided to put a team together to avoid bad match ups(I did the same thing making a super team of 7 mains)
All your mains are good but have one thing in common light weight.
So be careful around heavy hitters like Snake, Ike, and Dedede.
Things to look out for:
Marth can death grab Ness, Snake will blow away G&W, Metaknight will out prioritize/ run circles around Olimar,and Wario is vulnerable to Sheik's combo.
Get good with G&W he is the best out of your 4 mains
and has more advantages over more characters than the other 3.

Well, since we're talking teams, my own is in the first link in my sig, and as you can see, it consists of 6 characters.

Most of them happens to be light, but in general, I'm not worried about the heavy hitters, who apply with least one of the following:
*Telegraphing (and yes, I can easily punish a human Lucas's Up Smash repeatedly, and a lone Snake will just tell me where he had placed his bloody mines, and telegraphing is telegraphing anyway, so chances are he won't touch you as long as you remember how he hits)
*Cooldown poorly (Dedede, I'm particularly looking at you, and no chain grabbing for you, you've been abusing anti-approach methods for too long to begin with)
*Are big targets, making them easy prey for jump attacks

Ironically, ROB can zap Marth and Meta Knight into oblivion. Maybe Marth and Meta Knight rely so much on beating the bajeezus out of their opponents that they actually can't handle anybody who has very good raw stats, which happens to be the case with ROB's heavy weight and solid mixture of attacks that results in quickly racked up damage and guaranteed strong launches, resulting in their swift deaths. Now I just have to watch out for those blasted Pits who can ambush me when I expect a Marth or Meta Knight, because I still have only one character who can handle them. And arrow spam is still ridiculous on Battlefield. >_>

Anybody else for me to watch out for?

Yeah, typically, while my Wario and Olimar have trouble with R.O.B., my Ness and G&W **** him. Meanwhile, Metaknight does a good number against my Olimar, obviously, but I generally am able to fair pretty well with G&W and Wario. Snake and other heavyweights aren't a big deal, actually. G&W murders Snake, from my experience, and Snake usually can't touch my Olimar. I've never had any trouble with Dedede.

Oh, and my friend (Jew), his four mains are Falco, Snake, R.O.B., and Lucas. Any particular problems with him? From my experience, it's been my G&W =p

I'm not sure about the Snakes your playing, but technically you should be struggling with Snakes with your GnW. Tbh, you should decide on one character and learn everything you can about him, and you'll see that even your character's bad matchups become easier. Maybe a second, but 4 is too many.

Someone also mentioned that you should trouble with Ike. No. Oli should wreck right through him.

I dont know alot about Falco but I do know he is top tier for a reason. Try to fight a level 9 cpu Falco and you'll see what I mean:)
You have the advantage over Lucas with G&W but not with Olimar. Olimar and Lucas are very similar, but Lucas has better approaches(Nair and Dair).Lucas's Nair will knock off any pikmin attatched to him easily(I think except yellow ones)and PK fire spam is a menace...its what we Lucas mains do best for defense and spacing.Lucas also has good tilts and PK thunder edge guard.

I'll second that. I hate (HATE) fighting Lucas with Oli. =\
