Ike's side-special doesn't work

[EarthBoundNess]

When you do Ike's side-special, he is supposed to fly forward and attack whoever he touches first. But in Project M he just flies straight through everyone and doesn't attack anyone.

After you let go of Side-special just press the neutral attack button when you want to swing.

You can manually attack by pressing B. You can automatically swing if in range if you hold A. You can also jump out of quickdraw

The mechanics work differently in Project M. Another thing to note is that there is no way to automatically stop at a ledge. You MUST jump or swing before you fall off or you will die.
