Haven't seen a single olimar online yet. Why do you think that is?

Olimar plays very differently from the last game. He has less pikmin, and a lot of playing him is about managing the pikmin you have now (you can't just spam pikmin throw and not expect to be punished for not having pikmin). Whistling is really important now, and some people have a hard time working that in. Olimar is no longer campy in the way he was in the last game.
In addition, Olimar is no longer the character he was in the last game. He is no longer top-tiered (although he's still pretty good). He lacks a giant grab range, has arguably less finishing power, and no longer has some of his damage building capabilities (can't have 5 pikmin whaling on someone and grab them, nor does his jab do as much damage).
Also, Olimar is very frustrating to play in online play; at least for me, lag always causes me to lose my pikmin because I can't keep track of their momentum when they freeze.

I play him mostly online. There are some out there, but they're few and far.

I'll tell you what it is; the janky 30fps Pikmin =P

Takes a certain kind of waiting game to play Olimar this time around.

I think Olimar is actually a bit frustrating to play against instead of playing with him. You can ruin tons of moves that recover (like Ikes side-b.) I have realized his potential of making opponents have to limit their options with a tiny little Pikmin on them. I may think he is a bit weaker but now he is able to acutally recover the best rather than one of the worst.

Maybe is a region thing or something like that, but I can't see very Olimar players out there, even when I'm playing FG.
In fact, I'm in a group of SSB4 Chile, and I believe that we are like 3 Olimar of more than 50 people.
