In the early metagame, Olimar was widely considered to be one of, if not, the best 3 characters alongside {{SSBU|Peach}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}}. Olimar had many strengths, including stronger throws, a faster [[Pikmin Pluck]], and less lag on his smash attacks, particularly his up smash. This, along with Olimar's increased speed, made him a rather campy character, overwhelming the opponent with his Pikmin and recover them quickly when they are killed. As a result of these strengths, players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, and {{Sm|Myran}} performed spectacularly with Olimar and consistently placed in top 8 at many tournaments. | In the early metagame, Olimar was widely considered to be one of, if not, the best 3 characters alongside {{SSBU|Peach}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}}.

Patch 3.0.0 and the subsequent patch 3.1.0, however, nerfed Olimar's smash attacks and made them less safe on shield, while [[Pikmin Throw]] dealt less shield damage. This | Patch 3.0.0 and the subsequent patch 3.1.0, however, nerfed Olimar's smash attacks and made them less safe on shield, while [[Pikmin Throw]] dealt less shield damage. This significantly hurt Olimar in the metagame. Myran saw a drastic dip in performance and Dabuz now uses less Olimar and more {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}. Nevertheless, Dabuz and Shuton continued to achieve good placements with Olimar, and it is widely agreed that Olimar is still a somewhat viable threat in the metagame. | ||
