For some reason, Olimar is my Ganondorf's weakness. I just can't beat him. I don't have any trouble beating him with my other mains, but I don't have a chance with Ganondorf. Any tips for beating him? or is Olimar just a really bad counterpick?

lulz, welcome to the domain of Snake, Meta Knight, Ike, Sonic, Bowser, Squirtle, Charizard, Ice Climbers, Olimar, Falco, Wolf, Fox, Toon Link, Shiek, Zelda, R.O.B., King Dedede, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Lucas, Marth, Pikachu, Pit and Wario. Also known as "the group of people who **** Ganon harder than usual".

I suggest picking a different character.

Bad advice...

Get better at spot dodging, try to avoid getting grabbed, play defensive, use U-air off the edge for easy gimp kills, never just throw out attacks unless you are 80% sure it will hit him. its one of ganons hardest matchups IMO. but far from impossible, just wait til you spike him and then loosing the previous 5 matches wont even matter :)

Ganon pwns harder then most

Olimar is a special case where Ganondorf's Down-B is better than his Side-B.

Olimar can easily stop Ganondorf's Side-B with his Pikmin, but Ganon's Down-B has much more priority. If Olimar even tries to throw Pikmin at Ganondorf, Wizard's Foot will crush them.
