Mr. Doom hasn't taken a game off me. Just mad close games.
That game on Castle Siege was either Mr. Doom vs UTDZac (which he barely lost), or vs Ally in Iowa (he won[?] Can't remember).Really? I thought he won that Castle Siege game. My mistake. If he sees you call him Doom, he's gonna rage lol
Ike should have never been low tier. I've been saying this ever since the third tier list came out. He shuts down almost every other low tier character; correct me if I'm wrong.Ike's jab game is seriously incredible. Combined with that huge range and powerful knockback on pretty much everyone in the game (which complements his sword's range), Ike becomes a fairly difficult character to approach if you are unable to read or capitalize on Ike's moves and pre/post-attack lag.
From what I've seen from San, Mr. Doom, Bored, and Kirk in the last year or so, I'm still wondering how such a powerful character is still lurking in the realm of low tiers, when his results and properties pretty much scream for him to be categorized as a mid-tier character.
Match up wise, he seems to struggle against top characters, but I don't think there's many issues when it comes to match ups with the characters he is currently bundled up with. Except possibly Samus.
Ike just doesn't seem like the low tier character he's been said to be.
Mr. Doom's Ike isn't even an Ike. It's an abomination that defies the very laws and physics of match-ups.
Be afraid... be very very afraid...
They are similar because they both are a terror up close with their jabs and what they can do out of it. You arent really gonna try to beat ike face to face unless u have a REALLY good up close game, like luigi. Hes way too good up close.I can't think of why Ike is like luigi except they're about the same tier and that they can kill early, everything else is totally different lol.
I remember that time Rudey (sp?) beat Inui in a money match with Fox. Man. That was awesome.
I just remember Inui going on angry rants about how horrible Ike was and how he plays Ike all the time and Ike loses 99-1 to Diddy and 98.5-1.5 against MK and mocking anyone who argued...What's bad about Ike? Link mains have always just believed the BBR put Ike in low tier so the high tier players could activate easy mode and win low tier tourneys too with less effort. I'd like to think this isn't the case, but that does require some explanation.
Magic Jabs. lolNo character with a jab as good as Ike's can be low tier.
As kewkky said, many people try to SDI it and fail, so most likely wile it is possible, the widow is rather small and makes SDIing more difficult. It can be done yes, but is it reasonable to expect everyone to do so? Not really.Probably not. You can SDI a nice distance from his Jabs. Up, away, Towards, Down, whatever you pick usually will get you away.
