Aether can be hard to edge guard, but it can still be very hard to get back on the stage with Ike afterward. And of course, Ike has to sweetspot the ledge or reverse Aether if he's fighting Marth, Peach, himself, etc, who have a counter or a prioritized projectile/explosive. After taking into...

But when you are in his face after getting past his projectiles, Marth's speed advantage is very noticeable. Link players will need to concentrate heavily on spacing and dodging and cannot take advantage of many of Marth's aerials because they don't have much lag. Sure, Link can rack up the...

There are plenty of people who do not just pass Ike off as an "easily gimpable slowpoke". But as goes for all characters, someone has to be good enough to use Ike's strengths effectively. Smart people tend to get extra careful when watching their spacing against someone who hits as hard as Ike...

Defensive Ike's are really annoying (as someone has said before me). His range is enormous and retreating fairs just hurt. You see that you've missed and you see that he's going to smack you no matter what you do. It gets worse when the Ike player knows how to recover effectively and when you...

Just as your attacks are easily punishable, Snakes' can be as well. His range is unfortunately good enough to interrupt Fairs. Making yourself unpredictable (...sounds so obvious, sorry) can make you fair better in most cases (pardon the pun). I find myself easily killing the aggressive Snake...

I'd say 65:35. Abusing any projectiles or the hook-shot should allow the Marth to easily time attacks in the openings. Most people do not use the gale boomerang effectively, and often blow themselves up with bombs. But then again, there are those who can use them quite skillfully. However...

Hm. SSB4. The first thing I would appreciate is a faster-paced game. I like playing Brawl, but I would like a little more effort placed on fast reflexes and quick thinking. It gives a little more game to the characters who have slow attacks. Take out the tripping. I really dislike tripping...

My experience bud. It's good if you can point out that some of the things I say are wrong or don't work for you or many other people, but I'm not intentionally giving "bad advice". I never said anyone had to follow my advice. It's just works for me. Sometimes, some things just don't work for...

Battle Field or small maps with platforms (works wonders especially if you start out in center stage, i.e. BF) because you really want to take advantage of SH Aerials as any ground attacks will lead Peach into a side roll and dsmash which ultimately hurts you badly, sends you off the edge, and...
