Any hopes or fears for Ike this upcoming 4.0.0 update, anyone? (Assuming this one includes balance changes.)

Excellent! I happen to live in Saginaw and have yet to attend any sort of offline event, so this could be a good opportunity for me to finally get involved. Thanks, @BlueMilk, for the notification.

I could see Banjo having his own version of a flurry jab followed by a finisher for his neutral attack, much like several other characters (Fox, Falcon). I imagine it'd look something like Duck Hunt's, where Kazooie repeatedly pecks at the opponent.

If we are talking about Ike's Jab from SSBB, which was amazing due to its cancel properties and 16% damage, I would agree. Unfortunately, Ike's jab in SSBU is its worst iteration yet, though jabs have been nerfed for several characters in this game. Like in SSB4, the hitbox still comes out...

I've always yearned for the return of Ike's ranger appearance. This became especially apparent during SSB4's waning years. Easily the original and yellow Path of Radiance designs, more so the former.

@Stealth309 Thanks for your input. While we have yet to do considerable testing of the viability of his moves across various match-ups, I do think it is at least safe to say his aerials remain potent and are among his best tools, for the most part. And apparently, it is now possible to use...

I can definitely see U-air raising several spots up. Although we lose the lingering frames the hitbox was active for, this new animation and hitbox will allow Ike to connect the hit more reliably on the ground. Not to mention it is also quite powerful. Ike should most certainly have a more...

Greetings, all. Four years ago, I created a thread asking for other players' opinions of what they believe to be Ike's best and worst moves in SSB4 when used in a competitive environment. This time, the topic will be centered on Ike's iteration in Ultimate. I am curious to see other players'...

Apparently, there is a flowchart graphic someone created for unlocking characters via Classic mode. https://i.imgur.com/JwZNUgx.jpg If what this flowchart says is true, then to unlock Ike... 1. Complete Classic mode as Mario to unlock Sonic, or Pokémon Trainer. In this case, pray for Sonic...

What color palette for Ike does everyone here plan to use? For me, I see myself switching back and forth between his original ranger design and the Greil one.

My vote was cast to Lloyd during the SSB4 Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot back in 2015. To this day, he is still my most wanted.

Excellent. Here's hoping Ike will be able to keep up this time as the meta unfolds. It is refreshing to see positive reception on him pre-launch, especially since I remember him being viewed as bottom tier material during the 3DS days.

I wondered about this as well. As far as I know, Brawl's version of Ragnell was the longest its been in Smash, though Ike's animations at the time also had some influence in his range, especially with F-air. The length of Link's Master Sword was increased in this game, and I can't complain if it...

By the way, are you in the Ike Discord group? ^-^
