Alright to start off this thread I'm going to say I'm quite good with Ike because I've been playing him most of the time whenever I turn on Brawl on my Wii. I'm getting bored with fighting the CPU's as it's not as satisfying as playing a living human being, although the challenge of level a level 7 CPU does keep me entertained. I would like to get into competitive Brawling with Ike as my main.
Currently my lineup of most often used characters is as follows.
Main: Ike
Secondary:Marth(lol fire emblem chars)
For Fun: Lucario
What I really want to ask in this thread is the following.
1. Is there a certain most common used play style with Ike for actual competing?
2. I've heard a guy named Kirk is the only one to win a Tourny with Ike alone. Does that mean it's near impossible to Tourny with him?
3. Can I be a formidable opponent in competitions without doing heavy amounts of edge gaurding?
About question 3. I happen to try and stay away from it because I find it cheap when it's just about the only thing a person does. However I use it every now and then in those situations where it's like "Okay, just gtfo please." and I have no other options. But typically I stick to basic knockouts.
Honestly I'm a self taught Ike player. I've learned most of what I know from watching videos on youtube and adapting to the flow of battle as I turned up the difficulty on the Computer Player. That said, although I'm not half bad I'm sure every respectable and skilled Ike player would call my "strategy" noobish and subpar. I plan to make a video of myself playing this weekend, which will help get feedback on where I need improvement.
Hope all this text wasn't too much. Looking forward to whatever support I get.
