I understand that title is a little... hard to understand, but what I meant is that this is a thread of a little bit of strategy for you to play against olimar with. Also, I needed some help fighting Pikachu.
VS OLIMAR
Olimar... he can be very good against some characters, but poo against others. Lucas is one of those characters that should be able to eat Olimar the space weirdo in the face. If you want to own him, here's what you do. There are two ways to do this, but no matter what, the main point is DO NOT do both. One option for b-stickers is to keep your distance no matter what. Use PKFD (my friends call it that because the other words that start with wave confuse us. It's the one that distances you away from the opponent, if used correctly. PK fire distance) and his other b moves. Upsmash is great too just try to use it while NOT getting punished if he gets too close to you.
Option two:
Barrage the poo out of him. Don't let him do anything. You MUST be a fast player to do this. Basically what you're doing is being extremely agressive. This is the most preferrable option against olimar but is sometimes too difficult for certain levels of players. If you want to do this try not to do CHARGED smashes, just to be safe. If you follow this guide, you should probably **** him in the face.
Also, my friend is Pikachu, so i was wondering if anyone had any tips for fighting him? He is really annoying and will just do a bunch of b's to get me in the air (i know, i can use down b here, but then he does a dash cancel upsmash and punishes... i guess i should be ready for this) then either does a downa smash to get me up in the air with damage and knockback, or does his downb special which kills me. i try to airdodge this and it works but i get punished sometimes. Any time i go in the air he uses down b, but when i am lucas i am really in the air a lot. I guess now that i think about it i could give myself some of my own advice. I would use down b when he uses b, go into a roll battle if he charges, and use PKFD. Anyone have any other advice or see problems with this one?
