I have an idea, no, a concept, that i feel needs to be explored. Before i tell you about this concept, i want you to think about something, what does "Main pikmin. Secondary Olimar" mean?
Well, let me tell you, what is means is, as an "Olimar player", you are really maining pikmin. Most of our moves are just pikmin, olimar is just a backseat character we have to protect, who sometimes uses nair and whistle. Us "Pikmin Players" as i would rather call it, are olimar's guardian angel, because Olimar doesn't do more than nair and die.
What if, we changed this, what if we truly could call ourselves an "Olimar player"? Now, let me tell you what could happen, our one character, could actually be two characters. Pikmin and olimar, each with their own playstyle and moveset, able to excel at different things, and directly counter anything thrown at us.
Now, this is where my idea comes in. Treat pikmin and olimar as separate characters, don't just think about them as pikmin and olimar, think about them as pikmin OR olimar. Pikmin is our long range character, our go to sets of girls and guys (if they do have genders that is). Pikmin are campy, long range, annoying, W/E you wanna call them. Olimar on the other hand, he is a whole new character, opponents won't know what to do when olimar comes to the field. He sports a lot of quick attacks that directly set up for pikmin, he sports high priority attacks, attacks with deceptive range, low cooldown, attacks that allow our pikmin to abuse their power and range. Olimar can even be semi aggro with success.
Olimar is another character, he is a support, a close range beast, and a character who you should use, by co-maining as an "Olimar player" and a "Pikmin player", we have two unique characters, and by switching between the two, we, as players, effectively have two mains, and can switch between them without our opponent even realizing it, giving us amazing mindgames and mixups.
TL;DR:
Don't main "Pikmin and Olimar", co-main "Pikmin" and "Olimar"
