I'm not struggling with beating Ike as Sonic nor do I find him a particularly annoying match-up in general. He's notoriously cheap in some aspects and that's what I'm a bit concerned about. Here's the deal.
In a week or two I'll be facing a pretty smug friend of mine online. This match would have occured last weekend, but he was having connection troubles and so-on. To make a long story short, he mains Ike and is pretty confident in himself in just about any fighting game. We both got Brawl day one but we've treated it pretty differently. I play frequently and am pretty good if I do say so. He, on the other hand, doesn't practice too often and I'm not sure how far he is in skill these days. We're about to have our first match since March- he was busy over the summer. I don't fight too often on Wi-fi, I prefer local matches. What it comes down to is that I want to... how shall I put this? Destroy my best friend, for lack of a better way to describe it. ^^" I really can't put up with his arrogant attitude any longer. He pretty much feels like since he's good at fighting games naturally (as am I) he'll be able to compete with me even if I train considerably more than him.
I would greatly appreciate it if a few other Sonic mainers would give some advice on fighting Ike in an online match. I assume it'll be one on one, 5 stock or so, without items, and played on a variety of stages. That may change because he's a bit unpredictable at times. But under those conditions, what would be some of my best options to fall back on? Also, would it be wise to use my secondary- Mario instead of Sonic? Thanks to anyone that can offer wisdom here.
