Stop focusing on projectiles and use your whip as your main method of attack. I honestly only really like BF because I can control the opponent easily by forcing them on platforms. If they get close I can upb out of shield to get to the top platform. The long flat stages are ok but less fun...

You should focus more on your whip attacks. You likely use the projectiles too much. An easy mixup as you are learning to change your playstyle would be to replace some of your projectiles with shorthop angled fairs/bairs. The aerials can hit him out of his reflector, hit him if he tries to run...

Your only fast options is bair, but that obviously requires them to be behind you. Nair only works if they choose a slow option. Ike's best OoS option has really been unchanged since Brawl: don't get caught in shield in the first place Parrying works really well though. Parry>counter is funny...

It's a joke. You guys complain about things like fair not being strong enough, and now Quickdraw as a surprise tool. You basically want Project M Ike which Ult Ike is mostly a knock off of.

Why aren't you guys just playing Ike in Project M at this point?

They are being targeted as suicide moves but not as the same move. Echoes have been obligated to be follow the same changes as the character they echo(excluding Ken who really should've never been given the echo moniker and was given it basically as a formality). Thus when Roy's dair got less...

Aether and soaring slash are under no obligation to behave the same, and it would be dumb to look at them as the same move do to how dramatically different the kits are, and the major difference in sword positions. I suspect that Cloud's and Mii's attacks will be nerfed going forward as we can...

You're friends suck, beat them till they cry.

Ike is missing the note because it is inconsistent as to when he dies now. Do it at zero from the stage with Bowser, Ike dies first. Do the same thing with Little Mac, and Mac dies first. Previous version made it so it Ike was always second. Ike and Chrom were unusual compared to all the other...

No fun allowed.

I think they just ran into some issue making Ike die first consistently. It is stage, matchup, and position dependent. Here is a spread sheet on doing it at 0 on battlefield from ledge. https://twitter.com/Insie71/status/1090508348384980997?s=19 I expect it to consistently kill Ike first in the...

Because crossups are a fundamental part of fighting games and ground crossups were part of smash since the beginning. Ultimate takes a lot of inspiration from Street Fighter and is closer to Street Fighter than it is to the rest of the Smash series, especially with its limited movement...

The thing about the Palutena matchup is that she is faster, but you have a big sword. She is not fast enough to cover the distance of the sword if you swing it at the right times. When playing significantly faster characters your style should shift to be more defensive and zoning focused rather...

Given that Marth and Roy have strict spacing requirements it is not an unreasonable question for a new player. Wondering if Ike has some similar kind of mechanic is not only reasonable but a good question to ask. Spacing with Ike is important to keep yourself safe while you attack, but the...

I doubt the range on fair will increase. The range on it is strange. I am not sure it is much smaller. The swing is pretty different from the Brawl/PM animation so it is hard to make a direct comparison. In Brawl/PM Ike swings the sword directly in front of him and has his arms clip through his...
