Now, hear me out on this; I know there are many of you who are hung up on Ike not being like any Melee character, but I imagine you're only thinking of his moves and speed.
I am not comparing him to Roy because of his Neutral-B. Playing as Roy was based on the knowledge of yourself and your enemy. Roy was an absolute terrible character who relied on his Counter-attack.
Now say you take away Roy's Counter-attack. How do you make Roy a good character and still rely on outsmarting your enemy? (Shut up, I know Ike still has the counter attack. Just follow me on this.) Make him slow and powerful. So slow that you must know what you're going to do before it happens. So he's Roy, but he doesn't rely ONLY on the counter-attack.
