Stalling is defined as the currently-winning player running the time out in order to win. If your friend wasn't winning, then it wasn't stalling.

I thought the definition of Stalling was "making the game unplayable for the other player" according to Smash World.

No, that is not even close to stalling. Olimar is still vulnerable; very vulnerable in fact.

Yes, he's rolling and throwing Pikmin. So what? First off, you can kill the Pikmin. Second, rolling - especially excessive rolling - is easy to punish. Not to mention that Olimar's roll travels the least distance, if I recall correctly.
Punish the rolling, it's not hard, especially as Marth. Be more aggressive. I could give more help if you had any videos of yourself playing, but at this point all I know is that Olimar is rolling and throwing, and you are... I don't know what you're doing.

Not stalling, at all. Camping? Pretty much, but not stalling at all.

Yes, part of the definition is that stalling makes the game unplayable for the opponent. How does this situation make the game unplayable for you? He is reachable and vulnerable.

I'll try to be more aggresive.

I hate how in Brawl it's so easy to react to attacks compared to Melee. I remember in Melee all I had to do was SH Marth's F-air and N-air and grab spam and it was over.

Yeah, it's a different game. Much more campy and defensive.
