Why Did You Main Ike?

[Zdogg]

If you main Ike tell me why!

 

[Alus]

power + range+lack of speed = strategy to mix up...

for fun basically....

 

[Infern Angelis]

Ike is all that is man

 

[BlackTulip]

Honestly, I wanted to main Ike when Gimpyfish announced him as the worst character in the game so far and he was horrible at E3. I saw that and I was like "OMG I WANNA PLAY IKE" lol.

I dunno, he looked cool plus I played Roy in Melee.

 

[Ussi]

I like his game.

 

[Lord Aiku]

He fights for his friends and he gives no one sympathy...except his friends, of course.
Jokes aside, I main him because I liked him in FE: PoR and RD. I like his personality in the game and his playstyle suits me, and he is also very fun to play with.

 

[XACE-K]

I main Ike because,

- I liked his game.

-I anted to main him when he was confirmed.

-I feel comfortable when playing as him.

That's about it.

 

[HeroMystic]

I didn't main him, but I do have him as a secondary

Mainly because I like owning people with an underestimated character like Ike.

 

[metroid1117]

- Ike is probably the best lord out of all the Fire Emblem games released in the US
- Ike is one of the manliest characters in the game
*Not afraid to tell people that he fights for his friends
* Holds his two-handed sword with one hand
- Ike catches inexperienced players off-guard with his range
- Ike's USmash and FSmash are ridiculous in terms of range and power, respectively

 

[MetaRidleyX]

I'm a Fire Emblem fan and the particular FE games that Ike is from are some of my favourites. Plus he's beastly when your opponent messes up.

 

[akkon888]

There is no ground attack that cant be charged, besides standard attack, all aerials are awesome, especially the standard one, and the aethers are both awesome.

 

[Cross.]

Ikes playstyle fits me very well and I feel very comfortable using him. I like characters that no one else really uses also.

 

[FlareAlchemist]

My friend wanted to main him before the game was released, but once it was, he hated how slow he was. I picked him up because I played Roy and Marth back in melee, but Marth's shortened sword in brawl messed me up. That and because I wanted to make sure he wasn't terrible. I did really bad with him for a while cus I'm used to fast characters, but I started to destroy with him and I've found a love for his play style since then. That and he fights for his friends.

 

[•Col•]

I mained Roy in Melee, and I didn't like playing Marth... Although recently, I have started using Marth more because he does still feel more like Roy than Ike does... Anyway, I still like Ike a lot for his power range mostly... (The power is just a plus... XP)

 

[Spudman]

mained Roy in melee, so Ike was my new guy

 

[Kinzer]

What got me started was the looks, why I still play him is just because of the playstyle, it's nice, I just wish I was better with him compared to other people.

E for All not E3 http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/info/info03.html

I choose ike because I played PoR and I also played with him the most when I went to E for All, though I sucked

Oops lol, I ment E for all, didn't catch that, thanks.

 

[XZA143]

After playing Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn he quickly became a favorite of mine. So once he was announced for brawl it was a wish come true. I find his play style incredibly fun and satisfying Just a cool character all around.

 

[lax guy5]

Ike's a gangsta. Why else would you? (His headband is fly)

 

[ReeDee]

Ike is all that is man

that's about as far as it goes. ike has tremendous power and can kill from as low as it gets. he has a nice mix up game and more speed than people give him credit for

 

[zealotscout]

Ike just looks cool , kills peoples with like 20% , he has a really cool attack style , xD and dont forget that he has an effective super armor : ]

 

[doom dragon 105]

ughhhh why do u guys use him if u havent even played his game? only like 4 peole so far have played fire emblem

w/e FE FTW!!!!!

 

[Devil7]

I like Ike because of the nostalgc feel I get from his chant and the fact that he like vanilla ice cream

 

[OmegaXF]

I main Ike......
He fights for his Homies!
His play style is ****ing sweet!
And my wife forces me to play him
:Headbang:<<<It's On DA!

 

[SmashGod17]

If you main Ike tell me why!

Zdogg? NO WAI! Dude, it's me, GXD from the wiki! How ya doing, man?

 

[ShadowBlitz]

I USED to main Ike. Now I use Marth a lot more but there are several reasons I picked Ike as my main character when I first started Brawl....

- I mained Roy in Melee and he was my "replacement"...
- Metor Smash is amazing...
- I feel comfortable playingas him...
- Has lots of powerful attack to mix up to create new strategies

But now he's my secondary character....

 

[SmashGod17]

Ike is my secondary too, along with Lucas.

 

[FEaR.7]

Ike is among my mains.

Basically Im a Fire Emblem fan, played as Roy in Melee. PoR and RD fan. I like his playstyle. Fire Emblem fan.

 

[Martini!]

Because I love Fire Emblem. Ike's games included (can't wait for Marth's remake to come to the US).

But I'm more comfortable with him than the majority of characters also, so it worked out.

 

[i.E.]

He's my secondary right now, but I'm thinking about maining him...

I like Ike a lot because of his power, range, and mix-up game.

 

[Aura Power]

Because I used him in a 3v1 against me team battle and won. Seriously, in the right hands, I considered my mains, but then decided on using Ike for the team battle. I'm now gonna main him despite 1 of my 3 opponents was any match at all

 

[NeroDB]

Originally i was going to main Snake, but ever since Ike said he fights for his friends it just convinced me to main him.

 

[Kodachrome]

weeeeell...I dig his playstyle. Sometimes i hate it, like when i'm getting a massive pressure game all up in my grill, and against olimar....but i like thinking more than moving.

 

[blazefox]

Ike was my main when Brawl first came out. I loved the Fire Emblem games alongside the fact I used Roy in Melee. I secondary him mainly because of this scenario:
Your at 110%+. Your opponents at 45% or so. They decide to rush you, but trip....

Right into a F-smash that obviously kills them.

Ike ftw

 

[Wolfo]

I like his personality.
He's my favorite character in the game.
That's about it.

 

[Chis]

He's my secondary, but I liked how he played and think killing Bowser under 100% is great. I'm used to bad recoverys as I mained Link in melee.

 

[KHSteve]

'Cause he's hot.

 

[derv]

Fanboyism.

 

[HeWhoCanSee]

Largest knockback in the game. Who can't dig that?
