Olimar (V)

Olimar (ピクミン＆オリマー, Pikmin & Olimar) makes his third appearance as a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series in Super Smash Bros. V. He was confirmed on October 26, 2017, the same day that the initial Pikmin game was released in Japan in 2001. His appearance has not changed since his last appearance, and having been availiable as a starter character for his previous appearances, he is now one of the many unlockable characters.
==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play 75 Vs. Matches
*Play on all three maps in Smash Tour
After completing either option, you must fight and defeat Olimar in Garden of Hope, which is also unlocked upon unlocking him.
==Changes from Smash 4==
===Aesthetics===
Like every other veteran, Olimar now appears much more vibrant and his appearance is more based off its appearance in its games with a small realistic touch.
===Attributes===
No changes.
===Ground Attacks===
Forward Smash Attack power slightly increased.
===Aerial Attacks===
No changes.
===Grabs and Throws===
Down throw does increased damage.
===Special Moves===
No changes.
==Special Moves==
Move 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Pikmin Pluck 	0% 	Plucks a Pikmin. It cannot be used in midair, and has noticeable ending lag if it is attempted in midair, or if no more Pikmin can be plucked.
Side Special 	Pikmin Throw 	R: 7.8% (thrown), YB: 6.5% (thrown), W: 5.2% (thrown), P: 6.5%, RYB: 1.1% (latched), W: 3.7% (latched)	Throws a Pikmin, which latches onto opponents and damages them before falling off either after a certain time, or due to flinching. If the target cannot be latched onto, it simply deals damage. Purple Pikmin also simply tackle opponents due to their inability to latch onto anything.
Up Special 	Winged Pikmin	0% 	Two Winged Pikmin carry Olimar around, enabling him to recover. While being carried, Olimar can attack, similarly to Wings of Icarus. Having more Pikmin and/or using the move consecutively decreases the Winged Pikmin's effectiveness. Olimar will also be rendered helpless after attacking while being carried.
Down Special 	Pikmin Order 	0% 	Blows his whistle to recall Pikmin and/or sort out their order in the line. It also grants super armor on frames 6-12.
Final Smash 	End of Day 	10% (launch), 10% (ascent), 15% (Red Bulborbs), 10% (descent), 12%/10% (explosion) 	Jumps into the Hocotate Ship and launches into space, causing all nearby opponents to be buried. While the ship has left the stage, Red Bulborbs viciously assault opponents, inflicting steady damage. The Hocotate Ship finally crashes back down to the ground, dealing a considerable amount of damage and knockback to anyone caught in the explosion.
==Animations and Misc.==

===Victory Animations===
Sways in place while a Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin run around him in a circle.
Performs a toe touching exercise while a Yellow Pikmin rests on the ground and a Red Pikmin looks around.
Plucks a White, Blue and Purple Pikmin. The White Pikmin and Blue Pikmin bounce off Olimar's head, and then the Purple Pikmin squashes him onto the ground. Olimar's eyes will comically bulge outward upon being squashed before his expression returns to normal, whereas Alph will comically wince upon being squashed before his expression returns to normal.

Olimar is seen without his Pikmin, clapping.
