What kind of Pikmin line would you like the most/ think is the best?

I think it is 2 yellow Pikmin, 2 blue Pikmin, 1 red and one white Pikmin. Yellows for the combos(brawl combos), blue for the grabs, red for the aerials and white for racking up damage on the opponent and making them annoyed.

The best line is really based on personal preference. In no particular order, I'd probably like 2 red, 2 blues, a white and purple. Possibly 3 reds over a white.

Yeah I guess. I can deal with anything though really, as long as I'm not stuck with 3 or more whites or purples :/

Starting off with a white is great though. Latch it, grab, dthrow, fair, fsmash and they'll easily be at 60% already.

It all depends. I'm sorry, there isn't one PERFECT line to have. I would prefer to have different lines against different characters.
For instance, against pikachu I would like to have yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, purple, blue
Where against and MK I would like red, red, yellow, white, blue, purple (in no particular order)

Yellow, Yellow, Red, Red, Blue, Purple.

I don't usually throw Pikmin, so White Pikmin are sort of a hindrance.

2 purples, 2 blues, 1 red, 1 yellow

While I rarely ever get this setup, it's by far my personal favorite.

6 blue. Not likely though.
Always throw purples off the stage, they're worthless for safe play. Whites are good when your opponents are at low % because they latch on longer then. White pikmin latch+grabbing your opponent is really good at low %. Just make sure all your whites are gone by the time your opponent is ready to be killed, they get in the way and the damage they do when at high % isn't worth it anyways. One thing I ALWAYS do when I get a kill: throw purples off the stage and pluck new pikmin, then organize your pikmin so whites are the first in line. This lets you throw them at your opponent when you're ready, hope they do some good, and be rid of them for higher %'s since they're useless there. Don't throw blues at your opponent cuz you don't want to risk having them die since blues are the most useful overall. Yellows are good to have sometimes because they have extra range on the up air and fsmash (hardly noticeable unless you've been playing Olimar for a while)
But generally blues are the best overall to get pwn pivot grabs. It's really easy to watch for blues though as long as you have at least two. Watching your pikmin order is very important if you want to setup for a pivot grab to kill!!
