'''Olimar''' ({{ja|ピクミン&オリマー|Pikumin & Orimā}}, ''Pikmin & Olimar'') is a newcomer and playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was confirmed on January 09, 2008 on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website. Despite Olimar being voiced by Kazumi Totaka in ''Pikmin 2'', he is completely mute in ''Brawl''. However, Hajime Wakai's portrayals of the [[Pikmin]] from those games were repurposed for ''Brawl''.

DOJO!! website. Despite Olimar being voiced by Kazumi Totaka in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', he is completely mute in ''Brawl''. However, Hajime Wakai's portrayals of the [[Pikmin]] from those games were repurposed for ''Brawl''.


Olimar ranks 3rd on the tier list, putting him in the A+ tier and making this his best placement in the series. He has one of the best damage racking abilities in ''Brawl'', with his throws, up aerial, forward aerial, and [[Pikmin Throw]] being able to deal damage very quickly, and strong KO power without compensating much speed; all of his smashes and his Pikmin-based aerials are powerful when used with Red, Blue, and especially Purple Pikmin. Olimar's grabs are among the farthest-reaching in the game, and all four of his throws can KO when used with Blue and/or Purple Pikmin. Olimar also possesses a strong camping game and can use his long-ranged Pikmin attacks to create a wall that is very difficult for characters such as {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} to get through; the various types of Pikmin Olimar can use also makes him relatively unpredictable, with the type advantages of each Pikmin allowing for some advantages in some matchups. Olimar's biggest weakness, however, is his terrible and limited recovery (one of the worst recoveries in the game) that is easily [[edgehog]]ged and provides terrible distance if he does not have many Pikmin with him, as well as relatively poor approach options, due to his limited air and ground speeds, and susceptibility to juggles, pressure, and edgeguarding (which combines with his terrible recovery to give him very poor survivability). These disadvantages put him at even matchups against the likes of many characters who can approach in the air effectively, such as {{SSBB|Peach}} and {{SSBB|Ness}}. Overall, Olimar has very strong matchups against most characters (possessing only three disadvantageous ones), and has achieved very strong tournament results.

===Matchups===
{{SSBBMatchupTable|olimar=yes}}
Olimar has a very favorable matchup spread against the majority of ''Brawl's'' roster, because he has many distinct advantages over most of the cast. According to the [http://smashboards.com/threads/official-swf-matchup-chart-v3-0.338390/ Smashboards Matchup Chart],  he has the second highest unweighted total and the third highest weighted total. He is soft countered by three characters, has seven even matchups, soft counters ten characters, counters nine characters, hard counters five characters and has two close to unloseable matchups. Olimar's damage racking game with his [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] is formidable, as is his ability to control the stage. His strong camping abilities work well against high-ranking {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|King Dedede}} and {{SSBB|Snake}}, who are primarily ground based characters. However, characters who have good stage control or excel in the air, such as {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, or {{SSBB|Falco}}, counter Olimar.

Captain Olimar's {{b|Pikmin|species}} are assaulting a large {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}, but are unable to deal damage and perish when the R.O.B. spins. Captain Olimar begins to shiver in fear, but a Red Pikmin alerts Olimar to the [[Blue Falcon]] speeding their way. {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} jumps out of the Blue Falcon and then [[Falcon Punch]]es the R.O.B., causing it to fall backwards in a disabled state. Captain Falcon then slides on the ground to land, killing all the remaining Pikmin bar the Red Pikmin. A leaf blows by as Captain Falcon remains there, striking a pose. The two captains then team up to take on the [[Subspace Army]].
