Olimar is also my main and when faced with a MK holding A, I would either 1.) Wait until MK stops using the attack, 2.) Get on top of MK somehow and then use a dair (MK's "A" can't kill all pikmin at once, and Olimar has advantage in numbers), or 3.) Attack from behind. Also, don't forget that although the Pikmin are a huge part of Olimar's game, he still has attacks without them that can work pretty well. Obviously, one thing you would never do in this situation is throw Pikmin at MK. It's better to whack him with a Pikmin in the air. I'm pretty sure "whack" isn't the correct way to describe the attack =P

i typed out a whole page on what to do with MK b/c there's too many threads about him, but right now i'm using my brother's computer. he had to use it for a sec and accidentally closed this tab. :/ so... sorry i don't feel like typing it all again. what i'll say is use olimar's body more often than you normally would. it works better than normal against guys with swords such as tink, MK, and marth.

Foward tilt clashes with most attacks, as well as his down tilt. However, the down tilt can sometimes miss by a bit and deal the one damage via antennae. Any space animal or people who have rolling nairs can take out all attached pikmin. Like, pikmar, pikachu, space animals, MK, wario and some others.

All you have to do against people who are protecting against F-B is just follow with the shield grab. If you are good, you usually should get it off just fine.
Just mind game anything faster than pikmar if possible.

Just what I've seen, not much that I can add off the top of my head without making a huge post.

Falcon Pikmin MK to death! :D

It's really all about timing: I actually tempt MK into using an attack which I can Shield+Grab. If MK is too far away, I toss Pikmin at him. Remember, he can kill one, but not three or four.

You shall not oppress the Falcon Pikmin! They are an endangered awesome species that need to be heard about. Lol.

But anyways, I have a vid that I will upload for you when I get it onto youtube. I will edit this post and give it to you ok?

i use fair and space properly, it works as long as you have the timing down.... make sure you di back while doing it incase you mess up or the move goes through it

LOL. It's a fact, they are the most awesome Pikmin and they will appear in Pikmin 3! (Chances, 0.0001%)

your problem isn't with speed, it's with range
