I've been gone forever and I don't what new in the meta game since like spring, anyone care to fill me in
Uhh, I'll just copy and paste Watkins' post to Renegade's thread on AiB when Renegade asked for help on re-learning Ike:
Jab cancel to more jabs/bair/grabs depending on opponents shielding habits, space with fair/short hop bair, change your cstick to tilts for run off dair, learn pivot usmash/grab, learn what percents you can dash attack a thrown opponent, learn how to bait and punish airdodges/side dodges with Uair, Fsmash, and Usmash, learn when it's necessary to air dodge or fair when coming back to the stage, know when to reverse aether and QD if necessary, and finally learn how every aerial Ike has is rugged for edgeguarding
=
profit.
