Strategies

With

One can utilize Peashooter's fast moving speed by making themselves a hard target for the opponent to hit, moving side to side or by jumping a lot (Bunny Hopping) until the target is vanquished. Using Pea Suped will accomplish this task much more easily.

Against

One needs to be careful when encountering a Peashooter as his primary weapon does a hefty 34 damage and has high splash damage which poses a risk even if you manage to avoid a direct hit. Try and keep your distance and take him out from afar, Peashooter's health is mediocre so it is only required to land a few hits to vanquish him. Stay away from tight spaces as Peashooter can deal quite a large amount of damage in a large area. The character you will need to be careful the most is the Imp: with a measly health of 75 HP, he can be easily vanquished by Peashooter.
