Hey! Pikmin!

Captain Olimar in Smash
I love Captain Olimar in principle, but I don't use him much at all. He can be used 'normally' but he can also be very strategic.
I'm not sure how I feel about the reduction in Pikmin numbers her received but I do think his recovery makes a lot more sense, even if I loved the Pikmin chain idea (See, because in the old game if you were launched with too few Pikmin you couldn't pluck any more in the air so there was no way to improve your recovery if you were already off the edge, but in the new game it works the other way around: You're carried by Winged Pikmin so if you have too many you can easily throw them away to lighten your load and improve your recovery in mid-air.)
He also got one of the coolest Amiibos because it's like a tiny diorama which manages to squeeze four characters onto a single base!

Captain Olimar in Hey! Pikmin!
I'm going to sit on both sides of the fence for this one!
I've seen criticism of the game (often from people who haven't played it) because it's not traditional Pikmin. A rather silly argument but I played the demo and I really enjoyed it!
I am however a hypocrite because I never actually went ahead and bought the game. Maybe I will one day...but I think as a different style of Pikmin game it was a fine addition and fun too.
