Fight for your Friends (Ike Guide)

Love the guide. Helped me figure out some better usage for some of attacks, and helped better some match ups. Also I couldn't help but notice this part of the guide. I laughed my A** Off. XD
"Spins his sword above his head like a helicopter blade (11%). Does not provide lift."

this was a nice guide. I think you should reconsider his up-tilt. I find it to be an excellent anti air and KO move that is nice and quick (when its used sparingly) I find myself catching the opponent off guard when I use it.

I also seem to change from being extremely aggressive to zoning with f-airs and n-airs. making the opponent second guessing my next move and having them work in my favor.

One of my favorite things to do when my opponent is recovering up high is to throw in a n-b when they think I might f-air or n-air, and force them to air dodge. Giving me the free hit that can also KO.

Ike is a very fun character to play as and one of my mains. Most people look at him as a non threatening player, but under the right hand Ike is a cold hard killer

Keep it up and we can be Ike Gods lol

my main complaint is that this guide leaves out down-tilt combos
d-tilt can reliably set up into a n-air, u-air at around 30-50% depending on character and rage

another thing worth mentioning is that you can combo n-air into a grab at less than 10% on most characters

Also this is pretty nit-picky but one thing i might've added about quick-draw is that its actually extremely useful for covering getups

Thank you for this guide. I was struggling with Fox on Wii U a while back and started picking random, got to Ike and it just clicked. I read this guide a while ago and again just now because I'm getting back into the game. It helps tremendously thank you!

Pretty nice, I would add how his up throw can possibly work better to combo than his down throw since it doesn't send them as high.

As a person that is newer to smash competitively, this is highly detailed, thanks :D

As an Ike player, I find this guide to be quite detailed and insightful. This guide shows thorough research and thought in explaining the highlights and hiccups with Ike. I'm sure to use this advice at a local tournament at my town's library and show them why Ike is my primary main!
All that's left is to find similar guides (in terms of layout) of Dark Pit (secondary), Shulk (tertiary) and Captain Falcon (pocket).

Great guide. Really assisted in improving my Ike. Thanks for the tips!

This has really helped me improve my Ike game. Thanks! My tip: Ike's up smash is perfect for anti air. It will make opponents LITERALLY SH#T THEMSELVES WHEN THEY SEE IT!

A very good guide
I appreciate the recommended strategies to confront certain characters c:

excellent, ike was an old fave of mine, wasnt interested in picking him up again but is cool to see more players maining him. he has in my opinion, been a brain dead character, but in smash 4 with the balancing he is pretty acceptable

amazing

I have enjoyed Ike since brawl, he's always been my main in that game, but I feel like he's slow in the Wii U, but your guide has helped me with new techniques when I play

I've been an Ike main since Brawl and the playstyle tips are really helpful, thanks a lot!

I would just like to say that BnB would be great for this guide and one would be that on most of the characters except the really small one ex. sonic, pikachu, and olimar you can down thrown immediately into a up B on anyone else of the cast and do good damage btw best done at low percentages.

If you side b if up b quickly after you can activate aether and try to recover if the attack hits or gives the hit animation in the air other wise great guide
