uh... parry threatens to make this move unusable in competitive is used well enough. its not safe at all on parry

feelsbadman. ike's up-smash used to be the stuff of legends in smash4, capable of covering a large amount of options and killing decently early. now its kinda crap. ironically, gannon has an up-smash comparable to sm4sh ike, the theft is real.

nothing did, im pretty sure that list was not ordered. just like his current list seeming unordered entirely. Edit: in fact no, i can confirm neither of his lists are ordered. his first one specifically says un-ordered at the top, and his newer tier list, he speifically says Ken has more...

dthrow into aether doesn't seem true and isn't worth the risk from what i've seen, his grabs are mostly just positional with the exception of downthrow to like 40%. keep in mind also, that if you dont catch them with certain parts of aether they dont take that much damage, and in certain...

from my ~100ish online matches with ike in elite, i think his moveset is as follows (not tiered but more from a bread and butter vs utility Amazing: All of ikes aerials (minus dair) solid: D-tilt F-tilt Up-tilt Counter Quick draw Eruption (edge guard) Ehhh: grabs (heavily DI defendant...

i mean, to be fair, its hard to translate things like that into the game, every fire emblem character is capable of doing ranged attacks with certain weapons, so thats not respective of their character, the only real thing they can do is use the basic character design, take some moves inspired...

i have never been able to pull it off no matter how much i've tried in training mode on bots (jumping) i have only ever managed to get it on grounded targets, so either it doesn't work or it requires like frame perfect timing. be really cool to see something like that come out in a tournament,

i thought the change in DI mechanics might have messed with it too, oh well.

ughhh i meant down throwwwww

nair spam into qd can catch some people out occasionally. ikes ground game approach tends to be a little bit lacking against a few characters, hes a really good wall maker though. my go to's are nair, grab, and down tilt. forward air tends not to be worth it over nair as it comes out at about...

^ if it has i apologize. i felt like that and down air got nerfed in kill potential this patch, but that may have been due to failure of most players to understand the changed di mechanic for vertical launchers.

you can use eruption to edge guard, bverse into a startling KO capable move (only one of its kind beyond Z suit, as marths/luc/roy dont compare in effectiveness, and giant punch comes out too early) you can also slide into a neutral B if you have gotten them into the dodge mind game for grabs...

theres 1 about 50% combo on ike that i've still yet to master, its a true combo, that works on i think about 70% of the cast. its really hard to get the timing down. its the down throw/upthrow footstool combo. but there are so many strings off the footstool its not even funny, you can even get...

it needed a nerf here, and im fine with this. there was a true combo to most of the cast that allows an upair at around 100%, which before would have killed most of them.

i think the only buff ike needs now is just his foward smash killing like 20% sooner. its a super risky smash attack, that pays off really really badly. compared to its godlike brother, up smash, there is pretty much no reason at all to ever forward smash on ike. that or speed it up by like 10%.
