    Hey, M. Me again. I was just wondering if this site has a chat or something. MirC server, maybe?

    Hey, M. I can't find the tournament thread. How shall such a noob survive? .-.

    Yeah, we have yet to go to an IL tourney actually. The distance is definitely the biggest issue. Because of the distance, it'd have to be your tourney or Smash Minnesota. I'm gonna have to go with Smash Minnesota because it's much closer and it's having a pm tourney run by me. Definitely some other time, though. It's at least 5 hours or so for us to IL. In order for us to go to a future event you host, we would have to save a lot of money for a hotel or have housing provided by you or someone you know.

    Where is it held? Is it the same place as smash minnesota? I'm not sure if I can make that one as well but I'll let you know as soon as possible.

    Hey I know this is kinda random, but do you know of a Ganon player named Donald? He's from Chicago, and he came up here to MN and I played him. Just wondering if ya know him. I recall him mentioning a really good Marth player from IL that he played semi frequently, and I was wondering if it might've been you.

    Lol, ok. I was only saying you can't jab->dtilt spike them.

    However, what you're saying sounds kinda impractical, lol. Even if they do DI up and buffer a another illusion(which they almost never will, because they like to get overzealous against a "slow" character like Ike), there's still a small startup time for you to punish. For instance, I'm pretty sure you can still grab the ledge before them if you do the little half-circle control stick, fast fall, instant ledge grabe thingie.

    And even if they do DI up and try to buffer an illusion, you can just continue with the full three hits of the jab combo which would totally screw them...

    Im going to be looking for higher for when my 1st big tourny comes next month, just working on my power shielding, and thanks ^^;.

    Thats depressing news though, but I suppose predicting the escape can lead to numerous follow up's if they dont expect it.

    Hey metroid, thank you for the solid advice, I was able to take 5th in a tourny (my 2nd one ever) cuz of all the tips you told me. Also lol, Im being considered the best Ike in Canada, mainly since Im the only one now XD, but I know Ive become quite a beast. However I noticed its possible to jump out of the sequence, the ROB who knocked me out, I only ever got a 5 jab string, all other attempts ended after hit 2 (though I mindgamed him to do it and hit a Bair to win the 2nd match XD). I know you can essentially SDI out of it, but should jumping out of it be so easy, or am I doing something wrong?

    Hmm, I actually wasnt aware we could buffer in Brawl XD. I never thought the repeated first jab's was actually a good idea, let alone an awesome combo, I gotta try that one out alot more. I tend to do the grab option alot, either using BThrow or UThrow, depending on whos the opponent. I also thought Jab->UTilt was to slow, but that may just be because I tend to try and do jab->jab->Utilt, I guess in general I gotta rely on the 1st jab alot more than I do. This is all very good advice, Im glad I asked ya =D

    Is it very frame sensitive or just the usual timing? Also does the Bair have a really low hitbox to hit the small frys or is it just the timing.

    I always aerial A,s with Ike with the exception of a few Fairs, I find the C-stick gets in the way. Also on the jab note, what are my best jab "combos" I should try using.

    Thanks btw Metroid =D

    I did ask Kirk, but...well, I dunno what happened there, apparently we aint friends anymore D=.

    Anywho, I was curious of our jabbing mechanic, particularily 1 thing I saw in our boards comp. video. I believe it was Ryoko, went from a jab, instantly turned and Bair'd and hit a standing Squirtle, which I didnt assume possible. The best I can do is a one step turn, but my bair always whifs, even on normal size people, is there a special timing for this or something, jabbing sadly is my weakest asset (Im more a spacing/aerial Ike, but I try to jab but mess up alot even on easy things, like just grabbing in string or a bair follow up, I can do very long strings though). With my 2nd tourny coming up and my first only Ike, I wanna get in atleast the top 10 (got 11th last time =/), but feel I'll fail if I cant get this stuff down.

    Hello Metroid, listen I was wondering if I could discuss something about Ike with you (advice really). Out of everyone there, you seem like you'd be the most helpful =D. (And I hate like sounding like some noobish scrub asking but atm, I need the help >_<)

    Exactly I did it once but It would not load my stuff so, I deleted it. Then asked my mom so she would not get mad at me but she said no. So I can't
