Going through my old posts from a while ago and I found this forum. Just wanted to apologize for some of the things that I said previously, and that if I could, I would retract them in a heartbeat. I'm sure years down the road I will unfortunately come across things I have said at my current age...

oh god I remember Marth's old utilt. The tracer was definitely not representative of the hitbox. quite misleading and unreliable unless they were right above you

In the ROB vs. Ike matchup, recover low and don't aimlessly quick draw back. Ftilt can outspace ROB and jab out of shield is good way to engage. I like to counter gyro. Also some ROBs will side-b instinctively after you pick up their gyro. Wait this out and then throw after they are done.

Cfal has to approach Ike, which isn't that hard because of his dash grab. Gotta have good movement to stay off the ground when Cfal goes in for those grabs. Falcon can get away with doing a lot of stupid things just because his moves come out a lot quicker than Ike's, so a lot of the matchup is...

for 3ds, the best way to use bair without a c-stick is to RAR bair (reverse aerial rush). You won't be able to do things like falling up air, but that's only useful in a couple of situations. before I got used to using the GC controller, my movement on the 3ds was much more fluid, so don't think...

Did you guys see San's post on the 1.1.4 patch notes thread? It involves buffs to Eruption flame frames, Fsmash sourspot damage, and fair reach range buffs. Hopefully this is a little something that will help Ike. If not? Eh, Ike is pretty damn good anyways

Right. Eventually people will have to come to terms with their character. The metagame hasn't been fully fleshed out, and for all we know, it could be completely changed with the addition of Bayonetta and Corrin. That being said, I believe that when it comes down to comparing all of the mid...

Really? Haven't you seen M2k playing on MVG stream recently? Also I'm pretty sure that after M2k said that he would start playing more Smash 4 after Genesis. On his wiki, look under the Smash 4 category: http://www.ssbwiki.com/Smasher:Mew2King "On Twitter, he said after GENESIS 3 he would be...

Same, I feel like he should be around #20 or 21, so maybe move a couple spots up. He has results, and even M2k thinks Ike is good

yes, RAR Fair could also work when dealing with approaching jiggs. I like to do pivot ftilts (upward angled) to catch jiggs out of an approach. another thing to watch out for are those pound mixups

Ike his standard uthrow-fair and dthrow combos as well as nair-->grab at low percents. don't know how well Ike's 0-47 footstool combo works on cloud, but it probably works if he falls fast

Ike gets juggled pretty hard. His airdodge is just enough to dodge Cloud's Uair, however on stages like smashville with the platform, Cloud can apply more aerial pressure with Uairs from the ground and from platforms. Nair seems like Ike's only universal option, however it would have to be fast...

I think that with Cloud's dash attack, the main selling point is that it makes cloud a moving hitbox. Unlike characters like Pit and Peach who have deadzones on their DA, Cloud's DA has pretty good coverage. I agree maybe not that much disjoint, but it definitely comes out pretty quick.

I've found Tomohawking to be effective against clouds who hide in their shields too much after charging limit. That, and empty hopping while they are on platforms can get them to throw out shield allowing you to get a pivot grab if you land behind them

I wasn't thinking of offstage dair, I was thinking of standing at the ledge and doing a dair. In most situations, dtilt and eruption are probably the more reasonable options, however I'm thinking that Ike's dair onstage at the ledge would be good for low percent gimp spikes. I know I've gotten...
