In my experience, really good. Ike's crazy hitboxes means that you tend to always have a follow up from your throws if you can react to DI properly, and Fthrow -> Fair, Uair or QD -> Fair/Uair are close to guaranteed finishes at kill percents on the various floaties. Even Ike v/s Pit doesn't suck. You'll probably still have M2 issues, but who doesn't?

tl;dr crazy combo game on floaties off grabs, including regrad options if you're quick enough (I've seen Metrod CG a Mario with QD, Fthrow and Dthrow and that's not even a real thing), almost guaranteed kills, good finishing power and better edgeguards on floaties than most because Fair can cover so many options, lol.

JC USmash exists as well but I've learned it's not quite as awesome as I used to think it was. Uair is brilliant as a vertical killer though, especially when you can put it where you want with QD. Between that, how relatively quick it comes out and the strong hitboxes lasting forever, plus everything else, Ike has really good anti-floatie tech,
