The thing you need to focus on as an Olimar player is camping, out-spacing, and using your grabs as best as you can. I recommend using side-b and fair to camp. F-smash will be used to get your opponent away and KO. If you read a ledge option or roll (etc.) U-Smash and F-Smash are great KO options. The mindset is rather simple and sounds flowchart but all they micromanagement is extremely difficult. You need to position your self to where your opponent is not too far but not too close. That is difficult but everything else is rather basic. For videos of good Olimar players you can check VGBootCamp and search for any videos with Logic who has been getting significantly better and rising in the MD/VA. Notable Olimar players include Logic, Coco, Dabuz, Myran, Angbad, and GreenBeast.
