According to the Cloud boards, Bowser will die at 65%, while Ike will die at 64%... so I guess we really are just a bit worse off :p It seems that fall speed has a lot to do with it. Characters like Roy die at 69% and 68% respectively, and they're both much lighter than Bowser. Still it's only...

Cloud seems scary at first glance; range, speed, power etc., but the MU doesn't seem to be as hopeless as some are thinking it will be. I didn't play much; I did a ton of matches with a friend playing as Cloud though, and I noticed a few things. - His grab game isn't anything to be afraid of...

Right, but the momentum halt when doing aerials with c-stick set to smash is much less desirable than when it's just set to attacks, which is very appealing to me. And thanks for the link. That method (dash + jump then A) is different from the one I've been using (dash + smash c-stick up +...

Excuse my naivety, but does setting the c-stick to attack remove Ike's potential to glide toss, or is there another input for that? I wanna set the stick to attacks for better aerials (which will help my other mains too I'm sure), but losing glide toss for Ike might effect some of my more common...

Ah I didn't know the set was that bad on Ryo's part... that's a shame. But also good to know for other Ike mains. Thanks for the insight man, I appreciate it.

Right, I never suspected that the advantage would have been anything more than just a slight one, and that's only due to the huge disjoint Ike has over Ryu. Do you still have the same opinion of the MU?

Holy hell, Trela's Ryu though. If anyone doubts Ryu being top tier, they need a reality check. Way too many set ups into true SRK at kill percents. I wish I saw Trela vs. Ryo. That's a MU supposedly in Ike's favor, but I heard Ryo got stomped?

What. A. Day. Ike and Mega Man getting into Top 8, seeing "bottom 10" characters Dr. Mario and Samus in Loser's Finals, and now ZeRo finally losing his amazing streak to Nairo... Truly a historic day for Smash 4.

I can't believe how poor that Sheik vs. Mega Man match up was... I was hoping for a good comeback after that Uair into Bair (or was it Fair? I forgot) too. Hopefully this is just a bad showing of that MU though, like Ike vs. MK was at BH5.

I was thinking the exact same thing :( Still, Ryo played very well there. Top 8 for Ike ain't bad at all.

I was so sure Ryo had that in the bag, then he let it get waaaaaay too close, but then a Fsmash and a Usmash... I nearly had a heart attack. Ike joins Mega Man in Top 8, both beating out a top tier Sonic. I'm proud of our "low-high at best, probably mid" mains.

Very true. The string is really high risk, but also really high reward (and stylish) since no matter what you'll be losing a stock if you commit to it. So unless you're confident with your timing, it should only be done if you're up a stock.

It works better than you'd imagine, especially cause it can end a stock quickly outside of a tipper smash/SB and a lot of opponents won't expect it. I do find that at certain percentages though a tipper Fair will have too much knockback for a follow up (be it your second Fair, or DS). The nice...

Sucks that all the Ike mains were just one spot away from breaking into Top 16. But at the same time, Ike making that far in a tournament of this caliber is pretty damn noteworthy. Going from probably bottom tier upon release to this? We've come a long way. san, Ryo, and Ryouga all played...

In regards to Thinkaman's tier list, I'm a bit confused as to why Ike is placed so low. I won't try to pretend that I know all his frame data and how it clashes with others, but last patch most everyone put him in high-mid or even low-high, beating out the other FE characters (though some argued...
